“Enrichment Will Continue” Iran’s Big THREAT To West | Iran BANS IAEA From Entering Nuclear Sites [Video]

“Enrichment Will Continue” Iran’s Big THREAT To West | Iran BANS IAEA From Entering Nuclear Sites

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty. Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities. European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas #IranNuclear #UraniumEnrichment #IAEA #EuropeTalks #IstanbulSummit #EuropeIran #Sanctions #Snapback #Diplomacy #MiddleEast #NuclearRights #IranDefiance #Araghchi #Gharibabadi #NationalPride #NPT #WesternPressure #PeacefulNuclear #RegionalSecurity #InFocus ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits… [Video]

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits…

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets. Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure. #UkraineRussiaWar #SochiAttack #UkraineDrones #BlackSeaStrike #DroneWarfare #SochiExplosion #RussiaUnderAttack #SiriusHub #CiviliansTargeted #RussiaUkraineConflict #PeaceTalksFail #PutinZelensky #IstanbulTalks #UkraineStrikesBack #OilTerminalHit #EvacuationsInSochi #AirRaidSirens #RussiaWarNews #ExplosionsInSochi #GeopoliticalTensions ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
