Iran, Russia, China Unite in Nuclear Talks—US Sidelined, EU Threatens Sanctions Showdown in Istanbul [Video]

Iran, Russia, China Unite in Nuclear Talks—US Sidelined, EU Threatens Sanctions Showdown in Istanbul

As global tensions rise, Iran hosts trilateral nuclear talks with Russia and China—just days before a critical summit with European powers in Istanbul. The U.S., once central to negotiations, now watches from the sidelines as Tehran rejects direct dialogue. With the 2015 nuclear deal hanging by a thread and “snapback” sanctions looming, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher. Will this new Iran–Russia–China axis reshape the global balance of power? And can Europe force Iran back into compliance—or will diplomacy collapse once again? #Iran #NuclearTalks #ChinaRussiaIran #USIran #SnapbackSanctions #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #IstanbulSummit #IranDeal #RussiaChinaAlliance #JCPOA #BreakingNews #GlobalDiplomacy #IranNuclearDeal #TehranTalks ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~

Iran's Nuclear Warning To U.S And Israel: Iran Refuses To QUIT Nuke Plans|Trump Says 'Will Strike..' [Video]

Iran's Nuclear Warning To U.S And Israel: Iran Refuses To QUIT Nuke Plans|Trump Says 'Will Strike..'

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a “national pride,” rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attack’s success, warning more strikes “if necessary.” Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals. #Iran #USIranTensions #Israel #NuclearProgram #MiddleEastConflict #UraniumEnrichment #AbbasAraghchi #Trump #Airstrikes #Ceasefire #IranNuclearDeal #RegionalPower #Khamenei #USForeignPolicy #IsraelIranWar #Tehran #OmanTalks #MiddleEastNews #Geopolitics #MilitaryConflict #GlobalSecurity #IranVows #AirWar #NuclearSites #IranVsUS #DefenseStrategy #IranIsrael #WarThreats #NuclearCrisis #BreakingNews Also Read ChatGPT Surges: 2.5 Billion Daily Prompts Signal Massive User Growth :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-surges-2-5-billion-daily-prompts-signal-massive-user-growth-011-7807321.html?ref=DMDesc Kristin Cabot Affair Drama: How a Coldplay Concert Threw a Boston Brahmin Family into the Limelight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/kristin-cabot-affair-drama-how-a-coldplay-concert-threw-a-boston-brahmin-descendant-into-the-limeli-011-7807127.html?ref=DMDesc Andy Byron Divorce: Is Astronomer CEO’s Net Worth at Risk Over His Affair With HR Kristin Cabot? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/andy-byron-divorce-is-astronomer-ceo-s-net-worth-at-risk-over-affair-with-hr-kristin-cabot-011-7806289.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

Putin Sends Russian Ships Near Iran | Russia Iran Biggest World War Drill Begins in Caspian Sea [Video]

Putin Sends Russian Ships Near Iran | Russia Iran Biggest World War Drill Begins in Caspian Sea

In a striking show of regional power and coordination, Iran and Russia have launched CASAREX 2025—a large-scale joint search-and-rescue naval drill in the Caspian Sea. The three-day exercise, titled “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea,” is hosted by Iran’s Northern Fleet and involves elite units from the Iranian Navy, IRGC, and Law Enforcement Command. A Russian naval vessel has already entered Iranian waters to begin the operational phase in the Imam Reza (AS) Maritime District. Military observers from other Caspian nations are present, further highlighting growing regional cooperation. Defense experts view this as a major geopolitical signal of Iran-Russia maritime alignment and a direct rebuttal to Western influence in regional waters. This unprecedented drill underscores rising multipolar power dynamics, boosting Tehran and Moscow’s call for autonomous regional security. The Caspian, once overlooked, is fast becoming a strategic stage in the global power competition. #IranRussiaDrills #CASAREX2025 #CaspianSea #NavalPower #SearchAndRescueDrill #IranNavy #RussianNavy #Geopolitics #RegionalSecurity #MultipolarWorld #IRGC #NavalExercise #WesternInfluence #MilitaryCooperation #JointDrill #MaritimeSecurity #CaspianStrategy #RussiaIranAlliance #NavalStrength #ImamRezaDistrict ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Triple Threat to Trump|Moscow, Beijing, Tehran in a huddle over Nuclear Programme to challenge U.S

Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month. #IranNuclearDeal #RussiaChinaIran #NuclearTalks #SnapbackSanctions #IAEA #IranUS #Trump #Putin #XiJinping #Khamenei #Araghchi #TehranDiplomacy #IranNuclearCrisis #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranSanctions #ChinaIranAlliance #RussiaIran #NuclearStandoff #USIranTensions #DiplomaticCrisis #JCPOA #NoTalksWithUS #IranEnergyProgram #TehranStatement #IranEU #IstanbulTalks #WesternPressure #MiddleEastNews #UNSecurityCouncil #TrumpThreat #IranRejectsIAEA ~ED.194~HT.408~
