Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

“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~

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~
