Iran REFUSES To Bow To US Pressure, Demands Firm Guarantees After ‘Betrayal’ Of Nuclear Site Attacks

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has ruled out hasty or “ill‑considered” diplomacy with the US unless explicit guarantees are made. Speaking to diplomats in Tehran, he condemned last month’s US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a betrayal of diplomacy, demanding assurances that aggression will not repeat if talks resume. Araghchi emphasized Tehran’s focus on securing national interests and accountability from Washington. He warned European nations that invoking the UN “snap‑back” sanctions would be as damaging as military action and could end their role in nuclear diplomacy. Iran insists its victorious counter‑strikes, including its missile attack on al‑Udeid base in Qatar, underscore that it faces no fear in negotiating. But Araghchi cautions that without trust and concrete protections, Iran remains unwilling to rejoin indirect talks with the US. #IranDiplomacy #Araghchi #NuclearTalks #USStrikes #Snapback #UNSanctions #AlUdeid #QatarStrike #DiplomaticTrust #Tehran #TehranTalks #NuclearSecurity #IranUS #IsraeliStrikes #WesternPressure #MiddleEast #GlobalPolitics #IranianFM #TalksStalled #ForeignPolicy

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ. #Iran #Germany #Israel #FriedrichMerz #UNCharter #WarCrimes #Tehran #Berlin #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #ChancellorMerz #IranForeignMinistry #Aggression #Complicity #WarOfAggression #UNViolation #NuclearTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

WW3 WARNING: Russia Warns U.S & Allies of Grave Consequences If It Pressures North Korea Over Nukes

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan. Lavrov warned the U.S., South Korea, and Japan against forming a security pact aimed at Pyongyang. North Korea, in turn, reaffirmed its "unconditional" support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling the alliance "invincible."
