Iran us nuclear talks

Iran says it's open to direct nuclear talks with the US if conditions are right, but dismisses US demands to halt uranium enrichment as "a joke."

The Iranian diplomat said talks could resume if Tehran's NPT rights are recognized, US builds trust, and guarantees negotiations won't lead to renewed military action.

INSS researcher Beni Sabti argues that Iran is ramping up arrests and executions to paint a picture of damage control after successful Israeli infiltrations.

Graham said Operation Rising Lion could be the most successful coordinated military and covert campaign in the history of the Jewish state.

Netanyahu long urged US action on Iran, and despite media claims, Israel’s recent strike had full US backing after a final ultimatum.

The newspaper cited a senior Israeli official as saying a strike could come as soon as Sunday unless Iran agrees to halt production of fissile material, which can be used to make an atomic bomb. 

In the unfolding drama of US–Iran diplomacy, Israel again plays the role of anxious bystander.

Iran's goal is to have China, Russia, and even some European countries potentially help it hedge against any fallout should the US talks collapse.

Omani mediators said it was a small technical issue, Iran said new negotiations would soon be announced, and Washington acted as if nothing had been scheduled or canceled without explanation.

Among Jewish Israelis, 52% support a strike compared to 34.5% who oppose it. In contrast, 76% of Arab Israelis oppose military action against Iran, with just 9% in support.
