Iranians call for nuclear bomb after US-Israeli war as Tehran distributes anti nuclear radiation tablets

New Supreme Leader 

The Persians have been calling for the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop nuclear and atomic weapons following the aftermath of the US and Israel military aggression against the republic.

According to the reports, more Iranian religious leaders, politicians and hardliners are openly demanding for the country to develop nuclear weapons after US and Israeli killed Supreme leader Ali Khamenei in February 2026. 

Iran under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his fatwa banned the development of nuclear weapons for many years.

According to report by the Times, Iran distributes ANTI-RADIATION TABLETS as it prepares for potential NUCLEAR FALLOUT. IODINE TABLETS handed out to communities NEAR NUCLEAR FACILITIES. Pickaxe Mountain may come under nuclear attacks of the US forces.

The United States is offering up to $20 million and possible relocation for information on Iran’s nuclear program, CENTCOM said Friday. 

The reward covers intelligence on nuclear facilities, equipment, personnel, scientists and their movements.

However, during Friday prayers in Tehran, leaders and members of parliament stated if Iran obtains a nuclear bomb, it won't be attacked again.  Currently, Top military officials confirmed the debate is underway with leadership but no final decision yet.

America, Israel and European counterparts only respect any other country with stockpile of arsenal and Iranians want the country to live up to the expectations that will guarantee the security of the Persians.

As potential US strikes are imminent, Iranian Health Ministry official confirmed the distribution of iodine tablets to residents living close to Nuclear facilities. Accord to officials, this was done during every war within 2-3 km radius of such Nuclear sites. They also added Trump can no longer be trusted and may go through with this crime.

Iran distributed about 180000 iodine tablets in Bushehr near its nuclear power plant.

Iodine tablets only protect the thyroid from radioactive iodine rather than shielding against other radioactive. They are standard precautions used around nuclear sites in wartime and accident incidents.

Tehran is signaling US could strike Pickaxe Mountain with nuclear weapon following months of public threats from Trump. Pickaxe Mountain remains hard target to be destroyed by conventional weapons unless nukes are used.

Meanwhile, Tehran has released a list of countries hosting US military bases that could face attacks in an eventual wider conflict.

Iran Names UK, Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Greece, Portugal & Cyprus Among Potential Targets. They are all NATO Nations.

The warning signals a potentially dramatic expansion of the Iran US confrontation across Europe and the Middle East. The middle east Arab Nations hosting the US military bases have many stories to tell about Iranian retaliatory missiles strikes hitting their territories.

As the hostilities range on, Iran has fired surface-to-air missiles at a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet over the Strait of Hormuz, while its integrated air defense network has also shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over Qeshm Island,  Iranian military sources and state media confirmed the report.

In an official statement carried by Tasnim, Iran’s military said the Reaper was intercepted and destroyed using “advanced systems” belonging to its unified air defense network over Hormozgan province. The engagements come just days after U.S. carrier aircraft struck Iranian air-defense launchers on Qeshm Island.

While the US has neither confirmed nor denied the report, President Donald Trump has  stood in front of reporters in West Palm Beach and confirmed US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.

He said: "I don't want to talk about it. We do minor strikes, but they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five."

As anti radioactive iodine is been distributed, Iran issued Code 100, its HIGHEST alert, for all armed forces, per initial reports as he war that is now more than 8 months old.

MORE FRUSTRATIONS OVER IRAN: USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT HEADING TOWARD MIDDLE EAST AS CARRIER BUILDUP GROWS

Putin: "The whole world is amazed by the courage and heroism of the Iranian nation and its resilience"

United States is sending the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT towards middle east as the US President Donald Trump said is either Iran signed the deal or exist no more.

Donald Trump's leadership have been increasingly desperate and frustrated at the same time as Tehran refused to surrender or sign Trump's deal.

According to the reports by both A Jazeera and the Jerusalem Post, President Trump has decided to deploy a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East.

A US official told Al Jazeera the carrier and its strike group are heading to the Middle East, 

With three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups expected around Iran by the end of November

Russian President Vladimir Putin commended the Persian leadership for standing up to defend their sovereignty.

Putin said, the whole world is amazed by the courage and heroism of the Iranian nation and its resilience. He said the world will have to agree on a new global order

Sooner or later, East and West, North and South will have to agree on the principles of a new world order, Vladimir Putin said.

The world cannot be bipolar; it must be diverse and multipolar." President Putin declares the end of block-based hegemony and asserts every nation's right to pursue its own path.  Russia is still viewed in the West as part of an empire that should be “broken up further,” Vladimir Putin said addressing the Valdai Forum.

He argued that Western countries had in practice worked toward that goal despite Moscow’s years-long efforts to become part of a common European space.

Putin said true national greatness requires keeping pace with change, or ideally staying ahead of it, adding that Russia is charting its own path into the future and is ready to cooperate with other countries.

Moscow firmly rejects the nostalgic drive toward a cold-war-style bipolar order. A truly multipolar world directly undermines Western bloc politics, demanding a system built on sovereign equality and diverse power centers rather than ideological conformity.

Putin 

Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club, the Russian leader said current global trends are forcing countries to confront a central question: how to preserved international peace and security.

Putin added that responsibility for the world’s shared future is “not an abstract slogan.”

He called the killing of Iran’s Ali Larijani a ‘tremendous mistake.’ ‘Such a person would be needed today to find compromises & solutions that could bring peace to the Persian Gulf’

Vladimir Putin said Russia hopes the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and sanctions on Iran will be lifted.

He reiterated that Moscow opposes aggression and supports resolving disputes through peaceful means. Putin also said Russia’s proposal to transfer Iran’s enriched uranium to Russian territory remains on the table.

Moscow and Tehran continue their economic and political ties despite US and allies pressure.

Putin: Russia was drawn into the Ukraine conflict

Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Forum, Vladimir Putin said Russia did not start the war but was deliberately pushed into the Ukraine conflict and forced to defend itself “with arms in hand” in response to aggression against the country.

He said Russophobia and discrimination against Russians must not become state ideology, and argued that seeking Russia’s “strategic defeat” was unacceptable.

Putin launches a fierce attack on the UN’s management, stating it is  run far less democratically than originally intended  and calling out Western manipulation within global institutions.

Putin’s direct assault on the UN leadership exposes the stark reality of Western double standards. By calling out how global governance has been hijacked as an instrument of Western influence, Moscow forcefully pushes for a complete overhaul toward a truly equal multipolar system.

Putin concluded by calling on countries to live peacefully and jointly search for ways to achieve that.

American forces set to leave Iraq, leaving opening for Iran

U.S. forces are set to depart from their last bases in Iraq by Wednesday, a move celebrated as a victory by Iran and its allies, who now have deep influence in the country where 4,500 Americans died during more than two decades of war.

Iraqi security experts say the withdrawal — agreed to in 2024 under U.S. President Joe Biden and carried out by Donald Trump’s administration even as it wages war against Iran — could give Tehran and its allies free rein, while also allowing other U.S. enemies, including the Islamic State, to stage a comeback.

It is glaring now more than ever that the regional security is to be primarily handle by the middle east leaders with Tehran playing major roles.

Iran stands to benefit strategically from the coalition’s departure because it removes a military presence that for years acted as a counterweight to Tehran’s influence in Iraq,” said Jasim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi security analyst specialising in studying armed Shi’ite groups aligned with Iran.

He predicted that the pro-Iranian militia groups would not only portray the departure as a victory for their movement, but also “seek to translate that momentum into greater influence over security and political decision making.”

Abu Mojtaba al-Yasiri, a commander in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an ‌umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, described the U.S. withdrawal as “a historic victory for the Iraqi Islamic resistance groups and honorable Iraqis, and a crushing defeat for the American project.”

“On Sept. 30, we will celebrate the turning of a black page in Iraq’s history and the failure of the occupation to impose its will on our country,” he told Reuters. “Iraq has proven that its sovereignty cannot be secured by foreign forces, but by the resistance and the will of its people.”

NOT READY

While the eventual departure of U.S. forces is broadly popular among Iraqis, those who worry about the strength of the Iran-backed groups fear the withdrawal is premature.

“We believe Iraq is still not fully ready to take over the security file at this time,” Abdulrahman al-Zobaie, a Sunni tribal leader in Fallujah, once a bastion of anti-American resistance, told Reuters.

“All Iraqis aspire to full sovereignty, and no Iraqi would dispute that. But I believe that the [U.S.-led coalition] leaving in this way and creating a vacuum is what all Iraqis fear.”

American forces invaded Iraq in 2003 to topple Sunni Muslim dictator Saddam Hussein, and went on to occupy the country, install a Shi’ite-led government and fight a years-long counterinsurgency before withdrawing at the end of 2011.

They returned less than three years later to help Iraqi forces defeat the Sunni militant group the Islamic State in a major war from 2014 to 2017.

Around twice as many Americans died in “Operation Iraqi Freedom” as in the parallel war in Afghanistan, which ended with an abrupt U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In recent years, Iraq has been the only country to maintain close political and military alliances with both the United States and Iran, which sometimes used Iraqi territory as a proxy battlefield.

Iran offers U.S. a seven-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

 

The Islamic Republic of Iran has offered a seven days plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz water way.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Tehran has offered the U.S. a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if conditions are met.

According to the Iran's FM, “Iran has conveyed to the United States, through Qatar, a concrete seven-day plan. If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, and normal maritime passage restored within seven days.”

Araghchi said the next step depends on Washington,

“The choice now rests with the United States.”

The reported plan includes a seven-day halt to regional hostilities, the release of at least $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets, lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, and an end to the U.S. naval blockade. Iran would reopen Hormuz on the seventh day of the truce.

“If there is seriousness in the U.S. side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared.”

Tehran to Washington — Any new US attack will bring unrestricted strikes on all American bases & economic interests in the Middle East

Tehran has issued a fresh warning to Washington that any renew military strike against the Persian will be met with continuous and relentless retaliatory Iranian ballistic missiles strikes.

Iran's war command stated it has information that US together with its some regional countries, is preparing to resume large scale attacks on Iran. 

 Islamic Republic has warned any attack will be met with sustained strikes on every US base and economic interest in the region with no limitations.  Gulf countries that will allow their territory to be used would be considered complicit and could no longer expect Iranian restraint.

The Iran's statement comes after top US, Israel and Gulf commanders met in Germany last week to discuss about Iran war.

According to Global Surveillance, US could resume large scale operations against Iran including Ground Invasion.

Observations in the last 24 hours indicated that: 

US C-17 cargo planes landed in Middle East with unknown cargo.

 US B-1B strategic bombers at RAF Fairford, UK conducted training operations.

Iran Deploys Ground Special Forces along Southern coastline expecting US may invade the country in the future as IRGC said the US has decided to resume military action against Iran at a joint meeting in a European country, with a "green light" given from regional countries, and warns that if the US moves, "all of its bases and interests in the region will become targets of continuous attacks, without any limitations or considerations."

The warning was issued towards US and Gulf states that host America forces. Iran has struck US bases in the region during war but it considers attacking its economic interests inorder to pressure Host countries to restrict Washington use of their airspace, bases and logistics.

US to resume strikes on Iran has been confirmed for now.

Already, dozens of drones have been Launched toward Iran from the Southern coastal Regions and Western Borders , according to an Iranian sources.

Earlier, an Israeli-made Orbiter Drone was Shot Down near the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking to Fox News on Iran War, US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he is in a deciding mode.

I am in a “deciding mode,” and very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future.

The choices are: wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal.

They better behave!

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee on Sunday said President Trump greatly underestimated Iran.

He said , "Today, nobody considers America’s war with Iran to be a rational or logical war. Everyone describes it as a stupid war, and I want to add another word to that: ignorant."

"America’s military, economic and political actions were not based on any precise assessment or accurate calculations. They were carried out entirely at the instigation of Israel and Netanyahu personally."

Mohsen Rezaee dares American forces to step on the Iranian soil. 

The Arab countries must completely prevent America and tell it, "You have no right to launch from our countries to bomb Iran."

We are serious about defending ourselves. This time, if war begins, we will strike more severely all the U.S. air bases from which those aircraft take off.

We will strike them with greater force.

Unconfirmed reports also indicated that the Trump administration has sent new private messages to Qatar, containing assurances that Trump now wants to reach a deal with Iran. Sources cited Qatar's foreign ministry.

This comes after Iran conveyed its conditions to the US through Qatar and is now awaiting a response.

Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in US compensation, complete lifting of all US sanctions, release of $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets, end of the US naval blockade, US troop withdrawal from the entire region, and a comprehensive regional ceasefire including in Lebanon and Gaza. 

Iran also said on Thursday it will not open the Strait of Hormuz until Trump and Netanyahu are out of power.

Iran’s Air Force unveils its newly acquired Russian Sukhoi-35 fighter jets

 

Tehran has reportedly unveiled its newly acquired Russian Sukhoi-35 fighter jets to boost the country's Air Force capabilities.



The aircraft are set to strengthen Iran’s airpower and add another advanced capability to its forces operating around the Persian Gulf amidst the ongoing confrontation and escalations with the United States and allies hosting enemy's military bases in the region

Iran had previously finalized a major military contract with Russia to acquire 48 advanced Sukhoi Su-35 multirole fighter jets to modernize its aging air force.

In the contract was also avionics, electronic warfare components, and over 300 missiles.

The acquisition was first officially confirmed by senior Iranian military leadership, including Brigadier General Ali Shadmani of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.

Russia's Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant has completed production of the initial batch of 20 jets, with ongoing deliveries and base preparations scheduled through 2028.

This purchase replaces Iran's deteriorating fleet of pre-1979 U.S.-built aircraft like the F-14 Tomcat and deepens defense ties between Tehran and Moscow.

Amidst the tension in the Persian Gulf, Iran also acquired military fighter jets and electronic equipment from China.

We Don't Know which of Donald Trump's Unstable statements to process — Iranian President

Israel, America are the real terrorists in the world - Iranian Leader

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said the Persian leadership are not sure of What to believe and process among the various unstable statements of the US President Donald Trump

According to the Iranian leaders, Trump is saying something every day. One day he wants to destroy Iran, another day he says we are friend of Iran. 

"One day he says he accept us. Another day he says he doesn't accept us."

"So we are not sure what kind of statement we should, you know, accept and proceed based on which."

The US military and IDF have met their match in the middle east as all their military and economic pressure armed at crossing Tehran proved abortive.

NATO Nations have failed to participate in the aggression against Iran weighing the dearly consequences.

Arab nations hosting the US military bases are dancing to the tunes of Iranian ballistic missiles for allowing US to use their airspace in the operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"We have no problems with the UAE. We have no problem with any of the regional countries. "

"We have a problem with the American bases located in these countries and from which they are attacking our country."

*The UAE, the Emiratis and other countries of the region are our brothers. We have been living together for a long time and we have had trade. We have supported each other. "

"So this is the US which has come here and established bases, and from those bases they martyr our children, they attack our infrastructure and target our leaders, commanders and people. "

"In fact, the problem is that the friendly and neighboring countries should not allow enemies to utilize their soil to attack our country."

We are not in war with Saudi Arabia and the Houthis have their own problems.

Rhetorics by the US President have not deterred the IRGC from retaliatory attacks against the US military as the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. 

President Masoud Pezeshkian said America claims to defend human rights. They want to starve our people to death or bring about some other problems for them. 

They want us to yield and surrender. This is not humane. This is the most savage thing they can do. 

They are blocking the routes of medicines and goods. We are doing business and trade, but they block our money. What is the logic behind that? The U.S. is doing propaganda. It is just propaganda.

If we were seeking nuclear weapons, we wouldn’t have become a member of the NPT. Now they are bringing about alibis and pretexts to attack our soil.

With their technologies, actually they are the real terrorists in the world.

You look at Israel and America. No difference what they are doing in Syria, in Lebanon, in Gaza, Iraq, Qatar, even in Iran.

They assassinate anybody they wish, and then they claim that these people are terrorists. So it’s a weird world.

They kill people very easily for a single person. They kill a whole family and they destroy a whole building, then they say they killed a terrorist.

They are real terrorists. They are state terrorists.

Earlier, President Pezeshkian speaking during the BRICS submit in Delhi, India, said Sustainable security depends on full respect for national sovereignty and rejecting the model of “security for some and insecurity for others.” Preventing the misuse of countries’ territories to threaten their neighbours is an inviolable principle. 

He said BRICS must stand against the normalization of attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities.

IAEA Says Notices New activity at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, Accusing Tehran of Non-Compliance with Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act

The International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA says it has detected new activity at Iran’s heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain site, but has no evidence yet of what is happening inside the underground complex.


IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said inspectors have not accessed the site and are relying on remote imagery.

The agency, backed by the United States is accusing Iran of not confirming with the UN nuclear non-proliferation act.


The Board of Governors of the United Nations nuclear watchdog passed a resolution accusing Tehran of failing to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation commitments and referring the matter to the UN Security Council (UNSC).

United States and its key European allies are looking for all means to pressure Iran. This comes more than six months into the US-Israeli war against Iran, and as tensions flare in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US and Iran have traded attacks on vessels in recent days.

IAEA has not had access to the Iranian nuclear facilities since the US/Israel 12 days war against Iran.

Donald Trump ADMITS He Would BOW TO IRAN if They Had NUKES

 The President of the United States Donald Trump on Wednesday admitted that if Iran had possessed nuclear bomb, he would had been calling the Iranian Supreme leader with due respect.

Trump on Iran: If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I would be calling the Supreme Leader. 

I would be saying, "Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?"

If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I would be calling the Supreme Leader. 

I would be saying, "Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?".

United States will not let Iran get it.

TRUMP SAYS IRAN WAR WILL BE OVER SHORTLY AFTER ELECTION

Iran has not possessed unclear weapons, however, the Tehran's Ballistic Missiles and their resilient courage to confront the US and the Israel's aggression have forever changed the global perception of the American invincibility. 

The Islamic forces of Iran have totally changed the security middle east mindsets of depending on the United States.

Iranian leaders have insisted the the war can only come to an end on the Iran's terms only.

All the US military bases have continue to be vulnerable and at the mercy of the Iran's ballistic missiles.

While desperately hoping to end Iran's war, the US President makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms.

“I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”

US Embassy in Baghdad, Other military positions in Middle East under heavy attacks

The US Embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, has been targeted by drone and rocket attacks. This attack comes amid a further escalation of the US-Iran conflict in the region.

Tensions have reached a boiling point with Iran and its allied groups retaliating.

Following an attack on the US base at Al-Asad, Iran launched ballistic missiles at US positions in Jordan in retaliation. According to Jordan, its air defenses intercepted eight missiles.

In short, human collateral damages was reported as this marks a new phase of escalating US-Iran tensions; videos of missile launches from Tehran are being linked to this retaliatory strike.

Kuwait and Bahrain are not spared by the Iranian ballistic missiles.

Also, Iran is striking U.S. military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait with drones and missiles.

Multiple explosions are being heard as the attacks unfold, marking another major escalation against American forces across the Gulf.

Iranian media claims that a US warship attempting to enter the Strait was targeted by Iranian cruise missiles. Reports say the US destroyer attempted to seize control of the waterway, prompting the Iranian Navy to retaliate.

However, US officials have denied reports that the warship was damaged in a missile attack, and the claim has not been independently confirmed.

Iran IRGC has also claimed to have targeted a US vessel with a cruise missile near the Strait of Hormuz. 

This action is being described as part of a growing US-Iran military confrontation over control of the Strait.

Direct confrontation between the two sides in Hormuz has intensified. 

Iran maintained that U.S. strikes on civilian areas are brutal war crimes. Iran exercised its inherent right of self-defense and struck the bases that were the origin and support of this aggression

The US carried out airstrikes on southern Iran, killing at least 4 civilians, injured more than 70 others.

"Iran’s armed forces responded with missile and drone attacks on US bases in the region, causing heavy damage and casualties among American commanders and soldiers."

"These operations will continue until the US regrets its actions."

"Any country that cooperates with the US military will face serious consequences.Victory comes only from God, the Mighty and Wise." IRGC said in a statement

Iran publicly displayed a downed US MQ-9 drone.

According to Iran, this is the same MQ-9 drone that was shot down during the US operation. Its estimated value is around

Tehran said the MQ-9 Reaper displayed today is a clear demonstration of what awaits any foreign military asset that enters Iranian-controlled airspace without authorization.

"This is a $30 million U.S. combat drone, designed for long-endurance surveillance and precision strikes."

"Iran have recovered and displayed it for one reason, to make our position unmistakable.

"Iran will defend its airspace, and no American aircraft should assume it is beyond our reach."

US generals WARN Hegseth Iran WAR becomes UNSUSTAINABLE — WP

Top US military officials are currently concerned that 6-month campaign weakened US's readiness for threats elsewhere, including defending the homeland.

The assessment reportedly described the situation as 'too much for too long'

In 1988's Operation Praying Mantis, the US destroyed half of Iran's navy in 8 hours.

The result? Iran spent the next 40 years mastering asymmetric warfare, naval mines, and missile blockades.

History shows tactical dominance in the Gulf never guarantees supply chain control.

US-Iran competing claims over Strait of Hormuz, IRGC Swarm the waterway with several boats

In a direct challenge to US President Donald Trump’s claim of “total control” over the Strait of Hormuz, hundreds of Iranians and Basij volunteers reportedly took to the water and sailed through the strait.

Several boats were reportedly warned multiple times by U.S. Navy forces, but ignored the warnings and continued their passage.

The move comes as Washington and Tehran continue their competing claims over who controls the strategic waterway.

According to Iranian sources and video footage, Iranian paramilitary volunteers rushed to the strait of Hormuz, after Trump announced that America controls the strait. Despite the US Navy threats and warnings some of the boats continued to sail.

Tehran source also indicates that ships lineup in the Strait of Hormuz unable to pass by.

Iranian missile struck an underground bunker in Tel Aviv

There was a Major escalation in the Middle East early morning of Thursday as Iranian missile strikes  targeted the Israeli Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv, causing massive explosions and severe secondary fires across the area.

Among the targets for missiles strikes is Israel's Ben Gurion Airport which is currently on fire, according to a report.

 An Iranian missile reached and struck an underground bunker situated beneath a building in Tel Aviv; in other words, the attack is claimed to have targeted not just the building itself, but also the secure facility located beneath it.

However, independent confirmation of the claim indicated that it was a "first in history" event—indicating that Iranian missiles damaged protected or military installations in the vicinity of Tel Aviv.

Also Iran claims that Israel's Nevatim airbase—where F-35I fighter jets and other military aircraft are stationed was targeted —causing heavy damage with missiles. However, there is no independent confirmation yet that the airbase was completely destroyed,  therefore, for now, remains an Iranian claim.

Tehran continues its missile attacks until the early morning hours, employing new tactics using advanced guided missiles directed via the Chinese BeiDou satellite navigation system

Iran's IRGC in a statement said, “Iran will target every corner of Israel with advanced missiles and will challenge Israel’s military dominance before the world.”

Unconfirmed report aledged that Iran's hypersonic missiles that targeted an Israeli security meeting in Tel Aviv, killed more than 10 Israeli generals. 

It is claimed that these officers were planning an attack against Iran's Supreme Leader.

Trump offers to Iran: An End to Blockade, Removal of Sanctions in exchange for Reopening Strait of Hormuz

Tehran: On Islamabad MOU we stand 

US President Trump has offered Iran an End to the Blockade and the Removal of Sanctions in exchange for Reopening the Strait of Hormuz

The recent Offer was brought to Iran by the Pakistani Military Chief

The Iranian Political System may see this as an Effort by Trump to win the Midterm Elections.

However, alternative report from Washington affirmed that there is no any ongoing or schedule talk between the US and Ira.

The Trump administration is not engaged in talks with Iran and none are currently scheduled, Al Jazeera Arabic reported Tuesday, citing a White House official who requested anonymity.

“As President Trump said, there are no talks or discussions currently under way or scheduled with Iran,” the official told Al Jazeera.

“The naval blockade remains firmly and effectively in place, the Strait of Hormuz is open, and the sea mines have been removed or destroyed,” the official added, according to the report.

Tehran has also said it has set out its conditions and position on the Strait of Hormuz to Pakistan for delivery to the United States, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiating team.

The source said Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, who visited Iran on Monday, did not carry a threat or similar message from Washington and instead sought to help reopen space for negotiations.

"Iran's positions were clearly conveyed to the Pakistani side," the source said.

The source said one of Tehran's conditions was for the United States to return to what was described as the Islamabad memorandum and implement its provisions.

The Pakistani side was seeking to pass those conditions to Washington, Tasnim cited the source as saying.

According to Sputnik, Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, completed a one-day visit to Tehran, reaffirming Islamabad's central role in mediating between the US and Iran. The mission focused on de-escalating hostilities and reviving stalled negotiations.

Accompanied by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Munir held talks with Iran's top leadership, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Major General Mohsen Rezaei — the Supreme Leader's personal representative and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), along with other senior officials.

According to Pakistan's military (ISPR), discussions centered on preventing escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and achieving a swift end to the conflict. Iranian officials praised Pakistan's constructive mediation. Naqvi called the exchange "very constructive," while Tehran described the visit as "highly fruitful," citing "valuable diplomatic achievements" to be disclosed later.

A key matter was reviving the "Islamabad Memorandum"—the landmark agreement brokered by Pakistan on June 17. However, its 60-day framework expired in mid-August without renewal.

Beyond mediation, the visit boosted bilateral ties. Iran noted relations are at "one of the best stages" in their history, with both sides committed to expanding cooperation. The nations reaffirmed their goal of increasing trade from over $3 billion to $10 billion and advancing cross-border infrastructure and energy connectivity.

This was Munir's third visit to Iran this year, underscoring Pakistan's persistent diplomatic engagement. Though specific outcomes remain undisclosed, both sides express cautious optimism about the negotiation process.

Iran’s Security Chief: Trump’s actions are driving the world closer to nuclear proliferation

Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezai has issued  warning to gulf countries.

Iran’s top security official warned regional countries against taking part in Trump’s economic pressure campaign, arguing that such policies could further destabilize the region and encourage more countries to seek nuclear weapons.

Trump’s recklessness, with his attacks on Iran, increased desire of people around the world to acquire nuclear weapons esp when they saw that membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency & NPT was ineffective in preventing attacks from the US.” says Iran’s security chief.

 “America has waged economic war against itself, nit the Persians”  said Major General Rezaei

US President Donald Trump’s war of aggression against Iran has placed a heavy debt burden not only on the American people, but also on US allies such as Japan, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told IRNA.

💬 “He came with the campaign slogan ‘Make America great again,’ but what has he made great? He has made their debts great,” Rezaei stressed.

The US now has to borrow at a rate 3.7 times higher than in 2020, meaning an additional $3.7 billion in annual costs for every $100 billion of debt, the major general highlighted.

He also pointed to Japan, saying the rise in its 10-year bond yield to around 3% marks the end of the US “free ride.”

Rezaei said the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, signed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, was a sign that the United States had told them it wanted to leave the region.

“The United States told them, ‘Goodbye, we are leaving,’” Rezaei said in a televised interview.

Rezaei added that Iran supported broader Islamic unity and said Iran and Egypt should be founding participants in any such regional alliance.

“Our friends come and say, ‘We have made a pact, come and approve it.’ What are we supposed to approve? We don’t even know what you signed,” he said.

We will defend Iran resolutely and will not allow American forces to set foot in Iran.

I advise the Americans not to deploy any additional forces, because we will strike them.

The Americans have completely lost hope in military attacks and now imagine that an economic blockade can support their military efforts.

Netanyahu has promised Trump that if Iran is placed under an economic blockade for six months—or even two or three months—it will surrender.

The world has realized that Trump’s bluster is empty talk.

Iran has learned over the years how to overcome sanctions and continue selling oil.

After the U.S. military attack on Iran, the world saw that possessing a nuclear bomb is more effective than hundreds of F-35s.

The F-35s lost their aura of power in Iran, and Arab countries no longer trust American weapons.

The American people actually oppose the war with Iran and do not support the U.S. military or government.

In Iran, however, the people and the government stand united behind the armed forces."

Reforms must be made in Iran's diplomatic behavior

Evolutions have occurred in Iran's defense strategies. Today's Iran is not the Iran of before the war; this also holds true for the boastful America, and the image of the peace-seeking and embellished America has changed in the minds of Iranian youth.

At the same time, the whole world is looking at Iran in a new way.

After several rounds of negotiations and repeated breaches of promises by the United States, it is necessary to make changes in the diplomatic behavior of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its relations with the world.

"We have not attacked any of America's economic interests so far. So far we have only targeted military bases. But if they are going to advance the economic war, we are ready to target all American oil and economic companies in the region."

New US Sanctions: Tehran says maximum pressure, military aggression, state terrorism against Iran will not stand

Economic pressure is the 'most effective tool' the US has on Iran — Vance

The Islamic Republic of Iran has on Thursday said no amount of U.S. maximum economic pressure, brutal military aggression and state terrorism against Iran will crumble the Iranian people and government.

The Iran's ministry of foreign affairs in a statement responding to the new US economic sanctions said the US ruling establishment has announced the imposition of sweeping economic and trade sanctions against the Iranian people, coinciding with the anniversary of the disgraceful coup d’état of 28 Mordad 1332 (19 August 1953).




This action is not only another indication of the continuation of 73 years of hostility and animosity by US policymakers toward the Iranian people, but also further demonstrates the anti-human, lawless and hegemonic nature of the US ruling establishment.




Undoubtedly, the US economic sanctions against Iran, which target the fundamental human rights of every Iranian citizen, constitute “economic terrorism” and “crimes against humanity.” Those responsible for these sanctions deserve to be prosecuted and punished for committing such heinous crimes.




These sanctions, imposed in the aftermath of the US-Israeli wars of aggression against Iran over the past year and a half and their failure to achieve their malign objectives of forcing the Iranian people to surrender to their illegal and inhumane demands, will merely add to the long list of crimes committed by the United States against Iran. They will, however, undoubtedly have not the slightest effect on the determination of the Iranian people to safeguard Iran’s independence, dignity and national sovereignty.




Economic sanctions and pressure are the other side of the same coin as war and military aggression. America’s pathological addiction to these two instruments has not only placed global peace and security under an objective threat, but has also subjected human civilization to an unprecedented moral decline. Accordingly, no government that believes in the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations—including the principle of respect for the national sovereignty of states—can remain indifferent to the continued lawlessness and overt belligerence of the United States toward fundamental international norms.




The US decision to announce new sanctions, while constituting an explicit admission of the commission of crimes against humanity, is also a continuation of a policy that has already been tried and failed. Repeating it will certainly produce nothing but a repetition of past failures and further discredit the architects and leaders of this policy. The US government and the architects and implementers of this policy will, of course, bear responsibility for its consequences and repercussions.




The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while strongly condemning the US action to intensify its illegal and inhumane sanctions against the Iranian people, emphasizes that the Islamic Republic of Iran remains steadfast and determined in defending its security and national interests and confronting the US military, economic, political and psychological pressures and attacks.




Relying on its indigenous and national capabilities, and taking into account the experience of seven decades of comprehensive resistance against the US policy of maximum pressure, military aggression and state terrorism against Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran will employ all available tools and capacities to counter the hostile actions of the American-Zionist enemy and safeguard Iran’s national interests.

Iran's Statement 

Economic pressure is the 'most effective tool' the US has on Iran — Vance

Iran could survive US economic pressure for “a couple of weeks or a couple of months or possibly longer,” Vice President JD Vance told Newsmax on Thursday. He said preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains Washington’s main goal.

“They’re under a ton of pressure. That pressure is conducive to our goal of ensuring they don’t have a nuclear weapon,” Vance said.

"What has been true over the last couple of weeks is they felt a lot more pressure than we have," the vice president said.

He said the administration has economic, diplomatic and military tools available to pressure Tehran and is focused on preventing Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program.

“Sometimes, you’ve got to use the economic tools. That’s what the president is focused on right now,” Vance said. “Sometimes, you’ve got to use the military tools.”

Iran has repeatedly emphasized that resuming commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz hinges on the US lifting its naval blockades.

China, a major partner of Iran condemned what it calls Washington’s “pressure tactics” after Trump announced the “draconian sanctions” against countries and entities cooperating with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Beijing said sanctions and pressure “are not the solution” and is calling on all sides to “act responsibly” and stick to a political and diplomatic approach.

U.S. threatens Iran’s trade partners with "economic oblivion" China is Iran's biggest trading partner. It accounts for roughly one-third of Iran's total foreign trade.

CHINA CALLS OUT US 'SANCTION CAMPAIGN' TO ISOLATE IRAN, NOT THE SOLUTION

Urges Trump admin to 'TAKE RESPONSIBLE MEASURES' & solve issues DIPLOMATICALLY

 

China has on Thursday condemned what it calls Washington’s “pressure tactics” after Trump threatened “draconian sanctions” against countries and entities cooperating with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Beijing says sanctions and pressure “are not the solution” and is calling on all sides to “act responsibly” and stick to a political and diplomatic approach.

Tehran remains at the center of this tug of war between Washington and Beijing as the US President Donald Trump declared economic war on anyone keeping Iran alive.

Trump's “Economic D-Day” is an attempt to financially isolate Iran on a scale Washington says has never been attempted before and Treasury Sec. Bessent made the objective brutally clear, to cripple and collapse the Iranian regime.

That means targeting not just Iran, but the countries, banks and businesses that continue trading with it which brings Washington directly into collision with Beijing.

China is buying the overwhelming majority of Iran's shipped oil.

So if Trump genuinely intends to economically strangle Tehran, eventually he has to answer the question everyone is asking: What happens when China refuses to stop?

He faces two choices:

Don't enforce the sanctions aggressively against China, and Tehran retains the economic lifeline Washington is trying to sever. Enforce them, and what began as an economic war against Iran starts becoming an economic confrontation with the world's second-largest economy.

And China isn't Iran.

Beijing has economic weapons of its own: Rare earths, manufacturing, critical supply chains, and, crucially, an alternative financial architecture it's spent years developing precisely because it never wanted Washington to possess a permanent veto over Chinese commerce.

That's the part of this story that could become far more consequential than whatever happens in the Strait of Hormuz.

America's greatest economic weapon isn't an aircraft carrier, it's the dollar. Access to the dollar system gives Washington an extraordinary ability to punish governments, banks and companies almost anywhere on Earth.

But that power only remains overwhelming for as long as the rest of the world has no viable alternative.

Every time Washington weaponises it, it creates another incentive to build one. And Trump is now threatening to demonstrate that vulnerability on an enormous scale.

China doesn't need to overthrow the dollar tomorrow; it just needs enough infrastructure to continue trading when Washington says: Stop, or else.

And once that infrastructure exists, other countries gain access to the same insurance policy.

Trump's war on Iran exposed the limits of American military power. His economic war may be about to expose the limits of America's financial power too.

Various economic terrorism and sanctions by Washington against Tehran in the past decades have failed blatantly. The US military might also failed to compel and force  Iran obedient.

Iranian leaders have variously stated that they will not surrender until Trump bowled to their demands as the Strait of Hormuz remains a tangible weapon to force Washington to concede.

Iran on Thursday warned US warships to withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz region, stating that military action would be taken if they advanced further. 

Tensions between Iran and the US regarding Hormuz are indeed very high; however, there have not been an independent confirmation of the claim that "warships would be sunk."

In essence, Iran is warning the US that advancing into its maritime territory or the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a confrontation.

The earlier report was that the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed for nine months in the Middle East is heading home to California on Thursday, weeks after reports first emerged of tough conditions for sailors on board.

Iran Describes UAE’s Allegations at BRICS Summit as Baseless

 Iran’s Environmental Representative on Tuesday Confronted and Categorically Rejected the UAE’s Baseless Allegations at BRICS Summit.

On August 18, 2026, during the 12th BRICS Environment Ministers Meeting in New Delhi, India, Arman Khorsand, Director of the Center for International Affairs at Iran’s Department of Environment, issued a stern response to the UAE’s allegations that Iran had "attacked the UAE."

Mr. Khorsand’s response was precise and unequivocal, highlighting the following key points:

First, Mr. Khorsand categorically denied all allegations made by the UAE. He emphasized that Iran’s military actions were "directed solely at the sources of threats to the Iranian people" and that the country has consistently "avoided any attacks on the civilian infrastructure or populations of neighboring nations."

Second, Mr. Khorsand clearly identified the presence of U.S. military bases on UAE territory as the root cause of regional tensions. He issued a stern warning: "Any nation that hosts an aggressor and paves the way for attacks against Iran will be held accountable for the consequences of its actions."

Third, Mr. Khorsand urged BRICS member states to uphold the principles of good-neighborliness, peaceful coexistence, and non-interference. He called upon all members to ensure their territories are not used to support or facilitate hostile acts against other nations, particularly Iran.

Fourth, Mr. Khorsand strongly criticized the UAE for raising political and security issues at an environmental conference. He noted that such conduct "violates the spirit of mutual respect and dialogue upon which the BRICS partnership is built" and "runs counter to the meeting's primary focus on environmental issues."

Mr. Khorsand’s remarks served as a forceful rebuttal to the UAE’s attempt to politicize the environmental forum. His words reflected both Iran’s strategic confidence as a regional power and its steadfast stance in the face of external pressure.

Tehran Rejects Ceasefire, Says The War Must End, Not Paused

Araghchi 

As the 60-days ceasefire between Unites States and Iran comes to and end, Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that "Tehran has rejected ceasefire proposals. The war must end, not be paused."

According to Sources, Iran doesn't want to extend the 60-day MOU agreement with the U.S.

This recent war showed that foreign forces and foreign bases not only could not bring security but instead turned into security disruptors.


Iran maintained that countries without U.S. military bases suffered less damage, while foreign bases were unable to defend even their own interests against attacks.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Seyed Araghchi said  the recent war changed how the region sees security with Tehran.


Araghchi says Persian Gulf securities should be collective, led by regional states without outside powers. That’s Iran’s preferred post-war vision.

Meanwhile, Gulf states are signing defense pacts and reassessing reliance on U.S. bases. Everyone is trying to shape what comes next as the old order looks shakier. 

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said "The era of relying on the United States is over. American bases are liabilities, not assets. This recent war showed that foreign forces and foreign bases not only could not bring security but instead turned into security disruptors."

Araghchi said, 'You're better of without U.S. involvement,' is the very clever pitch. How can Trump protect us when he is unable even to protect his own country?"


Araghchi sees one “collective” future, but the rest of the region is quietly building several others.

On the Iran's success in terms of negotiations with the US, FM @araghchi said President @drpezeshkian was our main supporter in the negotiation process.


 When the Americans proposed negotiations, President Pezeshkian believed that we should use this opportunity to find a way to end the war.


 The president proposed including @mb_ghalibaf in the negotiating team. Even in the minutes that were prepared, Pezeshkian insisted: “Mr. Ghalibaf’s name must be written as the person responsible for the negotiations so that I can sign it.”

 Araghchi says Israel “was, and remains” the biggest obstacle to implementing the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US.

Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaking in Tehran, says that the strategic Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until the United States meets Tehran’s demands, including lifting a naval blockade of the country’s southern ports.


President Donald Trump orders his team to avoid talks with Iran until Tehran is ready to sign an agreement.


The U.S. may be preparing for a significant shift in its military footprint across the Gulf following months of Iranian attacks, The Washington Post reports, citing eight American officials.


Officials say Washington is examining whether maintaining the current concentration of forces in the region remains viable, including the future of bases that suffered heavy damage during the conflict.


The Pentagon is reportedly considering relocating some forces farther from the Persian Gulf rather than restoring damaged facilities to their previous configuration.


The potential move would represent a major change in U.S. regional strategy and would also address one of Tehran’s central demands for any future arrangement over the Strait of Hormuz.


US envoy Jared Kushner says conversations between Washington and different areas of the Iranian government are more “robust” than ever, though the two sides have not yet reached an understanding.


The Trump administration is reportedly considering surrendering U.S. bases in the Gulf and weighing a pullback from the Persian Gulf after Iranian strikes crippled American bases, with allies now questioning whether U.S. forces have become a liability, per The Washington Post.


Eight people familiar with the matter told the Post that the Defense Department is assessing whether to rebuild damaged bases or scale back the U.S. military footprint in the Middle East.


According to a source close to Iranian officials insisted Donald Trump has no viable options beyond accepting Iran's conditions — $300 billion in compensation, release of frozen assets, lifting the naval blockade, and an end to hostilities across all fronts — arguing that U.S. military and economic leverage has been significantly depleted, Iranian outlets.


The source cited three factors behind Tehran's confidence:


The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve: The SPR has fallen to roughly 293.4 million barrels, its lowest level since 1982, reducing Washington's energy cushion during a prolonged Hormuz disruption.


Munitions shortages: The U.S. has reportedly fired more than 1,500 Patriot interceptors, while stocks of ATACMS and PrSM missiles have been heavily depleted. Replenishing inventories could take years.


Political pressure: With the midterms approaching and the war facing domestic opposition, Tehran sees mounting pressure on Washington to contain both the conflict and elevated energy prices.


“Trump has no option but to accept Iran's conditions,” the source said, arguing that Washington cannot escalate without risking further economic damage, but cannot withdraw without conceding Hormuz.

US-Iran-War: Why U.S. allies in the Gulf frustrated, lost trust in Trump administration

The commander of the US Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper completed a 10-day trip to the Middle East on Saturday, visiting six countries and the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea as more than 50,000 US troops operate across the region.

While at sea, Cooper met with Sailors and Marines aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) for the second time this year. He previously visited the aircraft carrier in February with U.S. Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner,” CENTCOM posted on X.

 According to a report by the Washington Post, U.S. allies in the Gulf have completely lost trust in the Trump administration, growing increasingly frustrated over his inability to end the war with Iran, stating that American actions in the region make them "less safe, not more safe." 

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain are all growing dissatisfied with Washington as the conflict drags on. One Arab official said bluntly: "Trump started this war, and we are paying the price for it."

The frustration is now translating into action. The recent defense pact signed between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan was described by a senior European official as a direct "signal to the U.S." and an effort to diversify security partnerships. A European official said: "From their perspective, America alone is not enough."

Gulf leaders feel they have been dragged into a war they didn't choose. Firas Maksad of the Eurasia Group said U.S. allies feel they are "unnecessarily trapped in a war that Trump is now struggling to end." Trust in Washington has eroded, with Gulf states believing that American actions in the region make them "less safe, not more safe."

The message from the Gulf is clear: Washington is no longer seen as a reliable guarantor of regional security. Allies are looking for alternatives — and Trump is running out of time to win back their trust.

In recent weeks, pessimism has increased in the White House regarding the possibility of reaching a final nuclear agreement with Iran.

According to a Wall Street Report, President Trump's advisors presented him with data on the damage caused by sanctions and convinced him to prefer intensifying economic pressure over waging a war that could cost much more money and could largely lead to losses that would increase internal criticism within the US administration.

Tehran has repeatedly stated it's not negotiating with the United States until the end of the Donald Trump's administration. The Persians hoped to pressuring Washington into agreeing with Tehran's demands. Both military and threats have failed to bring Iran to hers knees as none of the U.S. pre-war stated objectives have been achieve.

Iran has directly announced a $30,000 reward for any Iranian force that captures or kills an American soldier, per Iran's state media IRIB.

Army Chief Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami said the reward comes "from the Iranian people" and is aimed at U.S. forces in the region. The announcement follows the U.S. Rewards for Justice program, which offered up to $10 million for information on Iran's Supreme Leader and senior IRGC officials.

The U.S. Military has also announced that it is preparing 15,000 intercontinental ballistic missiles to respond to an imminent Iranian attack. Officially, if Israel is attacked, Russian bases and all of Iran's interests across the Middle East—including Tehran—will be destroyed, and the entire world will witness the devastation.
