🔸 Hakan Fidan, Turkey's Foreign Minister, said the US and the Islamic Republic are showing flexibility toward reaching a nuclear agreement. He said the Islamic Republic understands they need to reach an agreement with the Americans, and Washington appears "ready" to tolerate a level of nuclear enrichment on Iranian soil. Fidan told the Financial Times: "It's positive that the Americans apparently seem ready to tolerate Iranian enrichment within certain defined boundaries." Referring to including the missile program and proxy forces in negotiations, he warned: "If America insists on addressing all issues simultaneously, I fear even the nuclear file won't progress... The result could be another war in the region." @VahidOnline
🔸 The Islamic Republic's selection as vice-president of the UN Commission for Social Development has faced widespread criticism. This commission focuses primarily on gender equality, democracy, tolerance, and non-violence, and the Iranian government has been chosen as vice-president while having recently massacred thousands of protesters in response to demonstrations. UN Watch also released a video introducing the Iranian government as vice-president of the UN Commission for Social Development, stating this is real and not a "joke." UN Watch also criticized Antonio Guterres for sending a congratulatory message to Masoud Pezeshkian on the anniversary of February 11th, despite the massacre of thousands of protesters in Iran. However, the UN announced this message was sent within a "standard routine" and according to decades-old procedures for national occasions of member countries. @VahidHeadline
🔸 The New Yorker magazine, in a detailed report, presented an image of "apocalyptic conditions" in Iran's medical centers, which according to the publication is part of an organized campaign launched by the Islamic Republic aimed at erasing traces of the January massacre. Now that more than a month has passed since the bloody suppression of the January 2025 protests, re-establishing contact with inside the country and information from activists and eyewitnesses has revealed further dimensions of the extensive and severe suppression of these protests. This time the suppression was not limited to the streets and extended to hospitals, clinics, and even operating rooms. @VahidHeadline
🔸 Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says Iran's enriched uranium is probably "still in the bombed underground facilities." Mr. Grossi told the Financial Times: "I cannot be 100 percent certain, but we are fairly confident and with cross-checking from other sources, this view is agreed upon and even the Iranians agree with it, but they don't confirm it." He said: "The material is there and this material is enough to make several, maybe twelve (nuclear) bombs. This is something that has a proliferation aspect, which is undeniable, even if it's hidden or under rubble." @VahidHeadline
🔸 In recent days, many social media users in Iran have reported the sudden blocking of their SIM cards, which has prevented them from normal daily activities.
