Donald Trump, the President of the United States, expressing dissatisfaction with the negotiation process with the Islamic Republic, said that Tehran has still not been prepared to explicitly declare that it will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump, referring to the history of tensions between the two countries over the past 47 years, said Iran has repeatedly damaged American interests and forces and attacked ships, and emphasized that "this situation cannot be tolerated for a long time." Criticizing the continued uranium enrichment by the Islamic Republic, he added that a country with extensive oil resources has no need for enrichment and must transparently declare that it will never move toward building nuclear weapons. Trump concluded by once again emphasizing that he is not satisfied with the current negotiation process. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The International Atomic Energy Agency in a confidential report sent to member countries on Friday (February 27) and reviewed by Reuters news agency, announced that a quantity of highly enriched uranium, close to weapons-grade level, is being stored in an underground area of Isfahan's nuclear site. According to Reuters, this is the first time the International Atomic Energy Agency has disclosed where Iran's uranium enriched up to 60 percent is being stored. To build nuclear weapons, uranium enriched to 90 percent is needed. Diplomats say the entrance to this tunnel complex was targeted in U.S. and Israeli military strikes in June, but it appears that "these facilities have remained largely intact." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Tom Cotton, a Republican senator, said in an interview with Fox News that Iranian officials want to build missiles that can reach America. He added that Iran has a space launch program and emphasized that the technology of this program is the same technology that can be used to build intercontinental missiles and target the United States. Cotton also said the Islamic Republic has believed for 47 years that it cannot win a war, but it can win any negotiation, adding: "I think with Trump, it's likely to lose both." He continued that Iranian officials refuse to stop uranium enrichment and the issue is not just about the nuclear program. According to him, Iran has thousands of ballistic missiles that threaten American bases in the Middle East and at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and some of these missiles can even reach American bases in Europe. This Republican senator added that America, Israel and their allies have an extensive military deployment in the region and "it's much easier to target the shooter before he releases his arrow than to try to stop the arrow in the sky." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump: I'm not happy with the fact that they're not willing to give what we should have. ... I'm not satisfied with how they negotiate. ... Look, it would have been very good if they negotiated in good faith.... but [this way] they won't get anywhere ... - Could military action possibly lead to immediate regime change? Trump: No, nobody told me such a thing. You don't know. I mean nobody knows. Maybe, maybe not. ... Ardeshir: Question to the US President: Is there a risk that an attack could turn into a long and exhausting conflict in the Middle East? I think it can be said there's always a risk. You know, when war is involved, there's risk in everything; both good and bad aspects. We've had extraordinary luck with me, Soleimani, Baghdadi. Everything has gone right. Then we also carried out "Midnight Hammer" and many other things. Everything has gone right and we want it to stay that way. We'll see. ardeshir 📡 @VahidOnline

JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, spoke with the Washington Post on Thursday, outlining his views on the possibility of U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic, saying there is "no chance" such an attack would lead to a prolonged war in the Middle East. In this interview, JD Vance said potential military action could serve a deterrent role to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons, unless this issue is resolved through diplomatic channels. Vance rejected "the notion that we're going to be engaged in a war in the Middle East for years without any prospect of an end to it," emphasizing "there's no chance of that happening." When the Washington Post reporter, referring to his history of criticizing the Iraq War, asked Vance if he ever imagined he would be part of an administration considering the possibility of regime change, he laughed and replied that life is "full of unexpected twists and turns." He also described Trump as "a president with an America First approach." The U.S. Vice President added: "I think we need to avoid repeating past mistakes. At the same time, we shouldn't over-generalize the lessons of the past." According to him: "Just because one president made a mistake in a military conflict doesn't mean we should never engage in military conflict again. We need to act cautiously, and I think the president is proceeding cautiously." JD Vance once again emphasized that the U.S. administration prefers the current impasse be resolved through diplomacy, but added this "depends on the Islamic Republic's actions and statements." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
