Iran’s SHOCKING demand STUNS Trump | Will Trump bow down & resume Nuclear Talks?

Iran has issued a stunning ultimatum to the U.S., demanding compensation for damages from the recent U.S.-Israel strikes before resuming nuclear talks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Trump’s 2018 JCPOA withdrawal for eroding trust and slammed Washington for using diplomacy as a cover for aggression. Iran insists on real guarantees, rejects U.S. calls for zero enrichment, and warns that rising anti-negotiation sentiment in Tehran could end talks permanently unless America changes course with serious confidence-building measures. #IranNuclearDeal #USIranTensions #JCPOA #AbbasAraghchi #TrumpIran #NuclearTalks #MiddleEastDiplomacy #USForeignPolicy #TehranDemands #IranUltimatum #Geopolitics #NuclearShowdown #SnapbackThreat #USIsraelStrikes #NoZeroEnrichment #DiplomacyCrisis #TalksOnEdge #USMiddleEastPolicy #IranNews #BreakingNews #TrumpEraFallout #BidenPolicy #GlobalSecurity #TrustDeficit #EnrichmentRights Also Read India Advises Its Citizens Against Non-Essential Travel To Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-advises-its-citizens-against-non-essential-travel-to-iran-7802657.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc Iran’s Uranium Mystery: 400kg Vanishes Without a Trace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-s-uranium-mystery-400kg-vanishes-without-a-trace-011-7787491.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

“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~

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~

Iranian FM BLASTS U.S for Warmongering | Warns EU to abandon ‘worn-out policies of threat’ for talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a fiery rebuke against the U.S. and EU, accusing Washington of warmongering and using diplomacy as a facade for conflict. He slammed the EU’s pressure tactics, warning of dire consequences if snapback sanctions are imposed. Araghchi reminded that it was the U.S. that abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and insists any new negotiations must include guarantees against future strikes, accountability for recent conflicts, and fairness-especially regarding Israel’s nuclear arsenal and regional stability. #Iran #Araghchi #USIranTensions #NuclearDeal #JCPOA #SnapbackSanctions #EUForeignPolicy #MiddleEast #IranNuclearCrisis #USForeignPolicy #DiplomaticStandoff #Geopolitics #Warmongering #IranDeal #UNResolution2231 #Tehran #IsraelNuclear #SecurityGuarantees #GlobalTensions #IranVsWest #MideastCrisis #NegotiationStalemate #ConflictWarning #NuclearTalks #USStrikes #IranianParliament #AbbasAraghchi #IranDiplomacy #BreakingNews #IranNews Also Read India Advises Its Citizens Against Non-Essential Travel To Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-advises-its-citizens-against-non-essential-travel-to-iran-7802657.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc Iran’s Uranium Mystery: 400kg Vanishes Without a Trace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-s-uranium-mystery-400kg-vanishes-without-a-trace-011-7787491.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.420~GR.125~

Israel gets the Belt treatment from Russia & Iran over attacks on Syrian Forces | Netanyahu Slammed

Russia and Iran have strongly condemned Israel’s latest airstrikes on Syrian territory, calling them illegal and destabilizing. Moscow blasted the strikes as a “gross violation” of Syria’s sovereignty, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi labeled Israel a “rabid regime” engaging in “unhinged aggression.” Israel confirmed it struck near the Syrian army HQ in Damascus, citing actions against Druze civilians. As regional tensions escalate, both Russia and Iran demand an end to foreign interventions and urge unity within Syria. #IsraelSyria #RussiaIranAlliance #MiddleEastCrisis #IDFStrikes #Damascus #SyrianSovereignty #UnhingedAggression #RabidRegime #IranIsraelTensions #RussiaCondemnsIsrael #BreakingNews #SyriaConflict #Airstrikes #MiddleEastTensions #Geopolitics #IDFResponse #TehranBlastsIsrael #MoscowVsTelAviv #SyriaUnderAttack #DruzeProtection #AssadRegime #IsraelDefenseForces #GlobalCondemnation #SyriaWarUpdate Also Read Explosions Rock Tel Aviv, Haifa as Israel-Iran Conflict Reaches New High :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explosions-rock-tel-aviv-haifa-as-israel-iran-conflict-reaches-new-high-4182705.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Military Airstrikes Fully Disable Yemen's International Airport Amid Houthi Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-airstrikes-disable-yemen-international-airport-011-4145405.html?ref=DMDesc UN Peacekeepers in South Lebanon Targeted by Israeli Airstrikes Amid Escalating Hezbollah Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-peacekeepers-south-lebanon-israel-hezbollah-conflict-011-3958449.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Spain’s DEADLIEST Summer: 1,100 KILLED As Heatwave RIPS Through Madrid & Seville | Worst Since 2022

Spain is reeling after a deadly 16-day heatwave claimed more than 1,100 lives, with temperatures soaring above 40°C nationwide. Officials reported 1,149 excess deaths, mostly among vulnerable seniors and women. Madrid and Seville were hit hardest, with the urban heat island effect amplifying conditions. Wildfires in Catalonia destroyed farmland and worsened air quality. Experts warn climate change has made heatwaves hotter, longer, and three times deadlier. Spain, already scarred by past deadly summers, now faces a mounting public health and environmental crisis. #SpainHeatwave #ClimateCrisis #HeatwaveDeaths #GlobalWarming #ExtremeHeat #UrbanHeatIsland #Madrid #Seville #Catalonia #Wildfires #AirQuality #ClimateChange #Heatwave2025 #DeadlyHeatwave #HealthCrisis #Environment #ClimateRisk #EuropeHeatwave #HotterPlanet #HeatwaveAlert #HeatwaveImpact #GlobalHeat #DisasterNews #SpainClimate #HeatDeaths #BreakingNews #HeatwaveSpain #ClimateEmergency #RisingTemperatures #SilentKiller Also Read Flash Floods In Pakistan Lead To Over 320 Deaths, Rescue Efforts Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/flash-floods-in-pakistan-lead-to-over-320-deaths-rescue-efforts-underway-011-7831519.html?ref=DMDesc Major Reports on Climate Change Impact in the US Removed from Federal Websites, Affecting Public Access :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-reports-climate-change-us-removed-websites-011-7788857.html?ref=DMDesc Sirsa Criticises Kejriwal for Neglecting Delhi's Mahatma Gandhi Climate Institute :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sirsa-blames-kejriwal-neglect-delhi-climate-institute-011-4118667.html?ref=DMDesc

Where’s Your Proof, Rahul Gandhi? —Pakistan Finally Admits 500+ Soldiers Killed in Operation Sindoor [Video]

Where’s Your Proof, Rahul Gandhi? —Pakistan Finally Admits 500+ Soldiers Killed in Operation Sindoor

Pakistan has finally admitted the truth—500+ soldiers lost in Operation Sindoor. After years of denying their losses, Islamabad’s gallantry medals to 138 soldiers reveal the scale of the disaster. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and the Opposition questioned India’s surgical strikes and Balakot attacks, echoing Pakistan’s denials inside India. This video exposes the stark contrast between past governments and Modi’s India: decisive action, heavy consequences for Pakistan, and zero tolerance for terror. If Pakistan itself admits the losses, can Rahul Gandhi continue questioning India’s victories? Watch as we break down Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s confession, and the challenge Rahul Gandhi now faces. #OperationSindoor #PakistanAdmitsLosses #RahulGandhi #IndiaStrikes #ModiGovernment #Balakot #SurgicalStrike #IndiaVsPakistan #Geopolitics #IndianArmy #BreakingNews #ProofPolitics Also Read Pakistan’s Admission Of Deaths In Operation Sindoor: Will Rahul Gandhi Question These Numbers Too? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-s-admission-of-deaths-in-operation-sindoor-will-rahul-gandhi-question-these-numbers-too-7832753.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Why Only Me?’ Rahul Gandhi Slams Election Commission Over Affidavit Row :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/will-not-let-them-steal-rahul-gandhi-slams-ec-calls-bihar-sir-a-conspiracy-7832471.html?ref=DMDesc CEC Gyanesh Kumar To Rahul Gandhi: Give Allegations Affidavit in 7 Days or Apologise to the Nation :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/cec-gyanesh-kumar-to-rahul-gandhi-prove-allegations-in-7-days-or-apologise-to-the-nation-7832433.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~
