Uranium enrichment is a sovereign right, and Tehran is proposing a temporary freeze for a limited period, but rejects zero enrichment, dismantling nuclear facilities, transferring uranium stockpiles, or any discussion of its missile and defense programs.
He added that Iran’s proposal in the Geneva talks focuses on sanctions relief and addressing U.S. concerns, including technical and practical pathways and data to show it does not seek nuclear weapons.

When we first entered nuclear activities, our goal was to build a nuclear bomb.
If we had been able to keep it secret and test the bomb, the matter would have been finished.
Since we had already started, we should have gone all the way to the end.

🇩🇪 In Germany, prototypes of bioelectronic insects for military purposes were unveiled
The company SWARM Biotactics has developed a technology that combines living insects with neural interfaces, AI, and sensors, turning them into autonomous reconnaissance platforms.
The project has progressed from concept to application within a year, with field tests already completed.
The advantage of such systems over drones is their high mobility, low noise levels, and ability to access hard-to-reach places.

For the first time since the 1930s, more people left the U.S. than moved in. Beyond deportations and tighter visas, a growing number of Americans are choosing to relocate abroad.
Drawn by lower living costs, affordable healthcare, safer schools and remote-work flexibility, citizens are moving to Europe, Mexico, Canada and parts of Asia in record numbers.
Student enrollment overseas is rising, foreign citizenship applications are surging, and relocation companies report unprecedented demand.
Surveys show one in five Americans would like to move abroad — double the share during the 2008 recession.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲/🇨🇭 BREAKING: Despite media claiming the negotiations atmosphere is positive, the opposite is true
The U.S. has brought a list of concessions and told Iran it will resort to ‘other options’ if it does not comply:
– Iran must entirely dismantle (i.e. destroy) its facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
– All enriched uranium must be transfered to the United States.
– The deal should be ‘permanent’ and Iran will not be allowed to have any enrichment at all.
In exchange for all this, the U.S. is offering a promise of ‘no war’ and limited sanctions relief.
The collapse of negotiations is imminent.
