The Middle East is on a knife-edge. In a move that has sent shockwaves from Washington to Israel, Iran has officially thrown down its "nuclear armour". Senior advisor Ali Shamkhani just declared a total ban on transferring Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile abroad, effectively killing a Russian-brokered deal before it even began. With 60&#37 enriched uranium sitting on Iranian soil, the "Nuclear Red Line" has been drawn. While the US and Israel demand the total removal of these materials, Tehran is signaling a different path; a conditional reduction to 20&#37 enrichment, but only if the West blinks first. WATCH 

Tensions between Iran and the United States have entered a new phase after senior Iranian parliamentary leader Hamidreza Haji Babaei issued a stark warning referencing a “third mistake” by Washington, language that has triggered widespread global concern and diplomatic alarm. The remarks, which include references to “funeral prayers” for President Trump and a guaranteed response to any future hostile action, are being interpreted as a strategic message aimed at both external deterrence and internal political consolidation. Iranian leadership framed the rhetoric as a response to alleged past military actions, security operations and Western interference narratives. WATCH
