Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict [Video]

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations. #IranNuclear #UStalks #AbbasAraghchi #NuclearDiplomacy #IranUSRelations #OmanTalks #IAEA #UraniumEnrichment #IranGuarantees #USStrikes #IranRetaliation #MutualRespect #NuclearTalks2025 #IranianForeignMinister #LeMondeInterview #BallisticMissiles #IranCompensation #MiddleEastTension #TrumpIran #GlobalSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs [Video]

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect. Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers. #Trump #LulaDaSilva #Bolsonaro #Brazil #USBrazilRelations #TradeWar #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpNews #BolsonaroTrial #LulaVsTrump #TariffThreat #USPolitics #BrazilNews #InternationalTrade #GlobalTensions #TrumpSpeech #TradeFeud #BolsonaroSupport #TrumpBolsonaro #LulaResponse ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now! [Video]

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis
