Why Iran Won’t Abandon Its Nuclear Program | The Gaddafi Mistake Explained

Why Iran Won’t Abandon Its Nuclear Program | The Gaddafi Mistake Explained

With the U.S. and Iran set to meet in Oman for nuclear negotiations, pressure is mounting on Tehran to scale back its atomic ambitions.

But despite threats of “great danger” from Donald Trump and increasing sanctions from the West, Iran stands firm.

Why?

The story goes beyond politics—into history.

After Iraq fell in 2003, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi surrendered his weapons of mass destruction in exchange for Western acceptance.

Less than a decade later, NATO backed the uprising that ended in his violent overthrow.

To Iran, Gaddafi’s fate is a cautionary tale, not a diplomatic success.

EX Russian President Medvedev Claims Western Europe Is Waging ‘Quiet War’ Against Trump

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia. #DmitryMedvedev #TrumpVsEurope #QuietWar #USEuropeanTensions #NATODisagreements #USRussiaRelations #EconomicStrength #MilitaryEdge #GlobalPowerShift #TrumpConservatism #USPolitics #NeoGlobalism #EuropeanUnion #WesternEurope #Geopolitics #MedvedevSpeaks #PoliticalConflict #TrumpSupporters #USForeignPolicy #USMilitaryStrength #TrumpAndRussia #EuropeanTensions #PoliticalShift #USVictory #USPrevails #GlobalInfluence #TariffWars #EUUSRelations #MoscowEvent #KnowledegeFirst #RussiaPolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

BIG War In South China Sea: China Dares To Track Stealth U.S submarines | New Quantum Drone In Sea [Video]

BIG War In South China Sea: China Dares To Track Stealth U.S submarines | New Quantum Drone In Sea

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters. #China #QuantumSensor #UnderseaWarfare #SubmarineDetection #SouthChinaSea #DefenseTechnology #QuantumBreakthrough #MilitaryInnovation #ChineseMilitary #PLA #MaritimeSecurity #NavalWarfare #DroneTechnology #MADXR #AntiSubmarineWarfare #QuantumScience #RubidiumAtoms #CPTMagnetometer #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #SubmarineWarfare #SensorTechnology #UnderwaterSurveillance #DefenseNews #TechInnovation #ChineseNavy #Shandong #QuantumTech #SubmarineTracking #MilitaryBreakthrough

Iran-China Big Meet Against Trump? Araghchi Rushes to China Amid Shocking US' Attack Threat

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited China ahead of high-stakes nuclear talks with the U.S. set for Oman. Saturday’s meeting in Muscat will include technical negotiations, with Araghchi calling China a “crucial partner.” China was a key signatory to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that President Trump later exited. As Iran raises uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels, both sides brace for tough decisions. Trump has confirmed “very good meetings,” but tensions remain high with sanctions and IAEA access disputes clouding the path forward. #Iran #China #USA #NuclearTalks #Oman #IranNuclearDeal #Trump #Araghchi #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #IAEA #Uranium #Sanctions #JCPOA #NuclearStandoff #GlobalTensions #ForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #IranUSChina #Tehran #Muscat #Biden #TrumpPolicy #ChinaDiplomacy #NuclearCrisis #IntlRelations #MiddleEastTalks #USIran #NuclearMonitoring Also Read China Tests Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb Capable of Producing 1,000°C Fireball :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-tests-non-nuclear-hydrogen-bomb-capable-of-producing-1-000-c-fireball-4130973.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc New Satellite Images Reveal China’s Growing Nuclear Submarine Fleet Near Qingdao :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-satellite-images-reveal-china-s-growing-nuclear-submarine-fleet-near-qingdao-4126257.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Trump To Exit Ukraine Peace Talks? EU’s SHOCKING Revelation Amid Ceasefire Failures | Ukraine War

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative. #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #EUConcern #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPeacePlan #MarcoRubio #PeaceTalks #USForeignPolicy #Kremlin #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpExits #UkraineUpdate #RussiaTalks #WashingtonNews #EasternEurope #UkraineCrisis #TrumpTimeline #DiplomaticCrisis #Geopolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
