Iran ROARS Back After US-EU 'Provocation' | Tehran Vows ‘FIRM RESPONSE’ Over IAEA Nuclear Pressure [Video]

Iran ROARS Back After US-EU 'Provocation' | Tehran Vows ‘FIRM RESPONSE’ Over IAEA Nuclear Pressure

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat. #Iran #NuclearDeal #USIranTalks #IAEA #EnrichmentRights #IranNuclear #MiddleEastTensions #Tehran #Diplomacy #USForeignPolicy #France #UK #Germany #IranSanctions #IranNews #MuscatTalks #Khamenei #AbbasAraghchi #Geopolitics #GlobalSecurity #UraniumEnrichment #CivilNuclearUse #OmanTalks #Trump #WhiteHouse #IranVsWest #NonProliferation #IranUpdate #NuclearCrisis #SanctionsRelief #PeacefulEnrichment Also Read Princess Iman Pahlavi, Granddaughter of Iran’s Last Shah, Marries Her Jewish Partner in Paris Ceremony :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/princess-iman-pahlavi-granddaughter-of-iran-s-last-shah-marries-her-jewish-partner-in-paris-ceremo-4176431.html?ref=DMDesc Sobhan Samadi: Shaping The Future Of Trading Talent In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/sobhan-samadi-shaping-the-future-of-trading-talent-in-iran-4173375.html?ref=DMDesc Three Indians Reported Missing In Iran; Embassy Coordinates Search Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-indians-reported-missing-in-iran-embassy-coordinates-search-efforts-4166117.html?ref=DMDesc

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization?

Germany’s Friedrich Merz Secures Chancellor Seat in Dramatic Second Round Reversal; AfD Furious

Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD #Germany ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

Germany in Turmoil | Friedrich Merz Fails To Become Chancellor In Embarrassing Parliamentary Defeat

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD

Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics. #Germany #AfD #Rubio #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #Surveillance #Politics #EuropeNews #Democracy #Tyranny #Immigration #Nationalism #MarcoRubio #BfV #BreakingNews #GermanElections #ChancellorMerz #Opposition #CivilRights #AfDUnderWatch
