Iran vows flexibility at Geneva nuclear talks amid US strike threat

Iran has promised to show flexibility at indirect nuclear talks with the United States in Geneva, held under the shadow of a large US military buildup and the threat of possible strikes.​ The latest round of negotiations, the third this month, is focused on Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief, with meetings mediated by Oman’s foreign minister Badr Albusaidi. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner are due to take part on the American side, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi leads the Iranian team.​ Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on state TV that Tehran will approach the talks with seriousness and flexibility, but only on nuclear and sanctions issues. He rejected attempts to add Iran’s ballistic missile programme to the agenda, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the missiles a major problem and […]

Iran close to deal for Chinese supersonic anti ship missiles

Iran is close to sealing a deal with China to buy CM 302 supersonic anti ship cruise missiles, according to six people familiar with the negotiations. The talks have gained urgency as the United States deploys a large naval force near Iran ahead of possible military strikes.​ The CM 302 missiles have a range of about 290 kilometres and are designed to fly low and fast to evade ship defences. Two weapons experts said their deployment would significantly boost Iran’s ability to target warships and would pose a new threat to U.S. naval forces in the region.​ Negotiations began at least two years ago but accelerated after the 12 day war between Israel and Iran in June. As discussions entered their final phase last summer, senior Iranian military and government officials, including deputy defence minister Massoud Oraei, travelled to China […]

Hezbollah vows to keep fighting after deadly Israeli airstrike in Lebanon

Hezbollah has warned that it has no choice but to continue its armed resistance after an Israeli airstrike on eastern Lebanon killed eight of its fighters. The group said Israeli forces targeted its command centres in the Bekaa region, while separate strikes in the south hit areas linked to the Palestinian group Hamas. Lebanon’s health ministry reported that 10 people were killed in the east and two in the south during the latest round of attacks. Hezbollah official Mahmud Qamati described the Bekaa raid as a new massacre and fresh aggression against Lebanon. Qamati, speaking on the Al Manar TV channel, said the movement had no other option left to defend its fighters and the country except resistance. He insisted that ongoing Israeli raids leave the group with little room for political compromise. The strikes came days after Lebanon’s government […]

US warns Iran as Trump weighs strike options

The White House has warned that Iran would be “very wise” to reach an agreement with the United States, as reports indicate that Donald Trump is reviewing potential military options against the Islamic Republic. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president still prefers a diplomatic solution to the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme. However, she acknowledged that arguments for military action are under consideration, noting that discussions within the administration remain ongoing and fluid. US media outlets, including CBS News, reported that Trump has discussed possible strike scenarios with advisers and has not yet made a final decision. Sources cited in the reports suggested that action could be taken in the coming days if negotiations stall. The developments come as Washington strengthens its military presence in the region. Satellite imagery confirmed the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln […]

Oil prices climb as Trump steps up threats against Iran

Global oil prices have risen again after US President Donald Trump intensified threats against Iran, fuelling fears of supply disruptions from the major crude producer. The latest gains come as US and Iranian officials hold sensitive talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme in Geneva. On Tuesday, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate climbed by around 1.5 per cent, while Brent North Sea crude also ticked higher in early trading. Late last month, Brent had already pushed above 70 dollars per barrel for the first time since July, with WTI moving past 65 dollars, as tensions escalated. The rally has been driven by a series of public warnings from Trump, who has repeatedly told Iran to accept a new nuclear deal or face military strikes. He boasted that a “massive armada” led by the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group was heading towards […]

Trump Hosts Netanyahu Amid Iran Talks

US President Donald Trump is set to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Wednesday, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and renewed diplomatic efforts to limit Iran’s nuclear programme. Netanyahu is expected to push for a comprehensive agreement that would stop Iran from enriching uranium and restrict its support for regional armed groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Before departing for Washington, he said he intended to outline Israel’s position on the principles guiding the negotiations. Tehran has maintained that it will not scale back uranium enrichment unless Western governments ease sanctions that have placed heavy pressure on its economy. This visit marks Netanyahu’s sixth trip to the United States since Trump returned to office, more than any other global leader during this period. The Israeli prime minister has consistently described Iran as a […]

Iran warns it will hit US bases if attacked

Iran has warned it will strike United States military bases across the Middle East if US forces attack the country.​ Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Al Jazeera that any US strike would draw a direct response on American installations in the region, but said this should not be viewed as an attack on the countries hosting those bases. He stressed that Tehran distinguishes between neighbouring states and the foreign forces stationed there.​ Araqchi spoke a day after Iran and the US agreed to continue indirect nuclear talks, which both sides described as a good start following a round of negotiations in Oman. He said no date has been set for the next meeting, while US President Donald Trump has suggested they could resume early next week.​ Trump has threatened military action while demanding that Iran abandon uranium enrichment, halt ballistic […]

Trump Warns Iran Trade Partners With New Tariff Threat

US President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order warning of additional tariffs on countries that continue commercial relations with Iran, tightening Washington’s economic pressure on Tehran. The order, signed on Friday, authorises the United States to impose import tariffs on goods from any country that “directly or indirectly” purchases Iranian goods or services. While no fixed rate is specified, the document cites 25% as a reference level. The measure could apply broadly to imports entering the US market from countries found to be trading with Iran. Speaking aboard Air Force One on Friday night, Trump did not comment directly on the executive order but reiterated his long-standing position that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. The move comes as diplomatic talks between senior US and Iranian officials continue in Oman, following weeks of escalating rhetoric […]

Iran, US hold tense Oman talks as war fears grow

Iran and the United States have held high stakes indirect talks in Oman aimed at easing their nuclear dispute and preventing a new war in the Middle East.​ The negotiations in Muscat were arranged through Omani mediation and focused on Iran’s nuclear programme, but deep disagreements over missiles, regional militias and human rights threatened to derail progress. Iran wants the talks to be limited strictly to nuclear issues, while Washington insists its concerns about ballistic missiles, Tehran’s support for armed groups and its treatment of protesters must also be addressed.​ Iranian officials say their ballistic missile programme is non negotiable and part of the country’s defence, while demanding recognition of their right to enrich uranium and the lifting of US sanctions reimposed after Donald Trump quit the 2015 nuclear deal. For the US, allowing uranium enrichment inside Iran remains a […]

Iran president orders nuclear talks with US as Trump eyes sanctions‑lifting deal

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the opening of nuclear talks with the United States, signalling a new diplomatic push even as tensions remain high over protests and Western sanctions. State aligned Fars news agency, citing an unnamed government source, said Pezeshkian instructed officials to begin negotiations with Washington on Iran’s nuclear file, a report later echoed by government newspaper Iran and reformist daily Shargh. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened military action and deployed an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East in response to Iran’s deadly crackdown on anti government protests that peaked last month. While ramping up pressure, Trump has repeatedly said he still hopes for a deal that would avert war. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran is working on a method and framework for talks, with messages between the two […]
