Iran & The Gulf

Opposition outlet Iran International says Assembly of Experts selected Mojtaba Khamenei under pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency revealed the exact location where the uranium was stored. The material was enriched to 60%, close to the 90% required for a nuclear weapon. Assessments that it was being kept at the underground complex had previously been reported in Western media. 

Despite Omani mediation efforts and optimistic signals from Muscat, Washington has urged US citizens to leave Iran again and warned of “additional steps.” As tensions mount worldwide, Israeli officials believe a potential strike could come soon and outline how it might unfold.

The third round of US-Iran nuclear talks got underway in Geneva Thursday as America's largest aircraft carrier headed toward Israel.

Deep gaps remained at the end of the latest round of talks between Iran and the United States in Geneva. According to American officials, the question is not whether to strike, but which targets to choose.

Trump reportedly calls regime “bluffers” as a senior Israeli official asseses that a US strike could lead to the fall of the ayatollahs.

Opposition outlet Iran International reports Iran’s supreme leader is hiding in an underground bunker in Tehran. Senior officials, including Ali Larijani, were allegedly blindfolded en route to meetings.

According to the report, the Iranian opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq planned to infiltrate sensitive sites such as the presidential palace complex, the headquarters of the Supreme National Security Council and the compound housing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s office. Sources further claimed that the organization had “received assistance from foreign intelligence agencies.”

As officials prepare to meet in Geneva, there is deep doubt that Iran’s proposal will differ significantly from previous offers. Meanwhile, Iran’s rapid trials continue, with dozens sentenced to death at the start of the week.
