Residential buildings in Iran have been attacked alongside other targets struck by Israel, as detailed by FRANCE 24’s Saeed Azimi. Meanwhile, internet restrictions remain in place across Iran, justified as necessary to protect national security and the population. This escalation unfolds as diplomatic efforts falter, with the EU seeking a solution while Iran refuses to negotiate with the United States.

  13. Netanyahu has decided anyway that he can't trust the current Iranian government, so he will prevent, or ignore, any agreement. Any negotiation can only be for façade.

  15. I am horrified that such a $tupid man as !rump is the most powerful man in the world right now. Horrible situation for the whole world.

  21. I don’t know why other countries, specially the countries of the free world are naive and do believe on negotiation with this fanatical regime of Iran. They intend to have the nuclear weapons for their own and they lied to the world. So the question is will they believe on negotiations and give the ambition which they try so hard to achieve with one goal to destroy any enemies of their regime, beginning with Israel
