US Diplomat reveals why Iran was targeted: ‘460 kg of uranium, enough for 11 bombs’

New Delhi: The joint US-Israel attack on Iran came after Tehran insisted it had the โ€œinalienable rightโ€ to enrich uranium. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Iran had secretly stockpiled 460 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, enough for about 11 nuclear bombs. โ€œThe Iranians told us directlyโ€ฆ they could make 11 nuclear bombs,โ€ Witkoff said. He added that talks in Geneva had failed because Iran was determined to continue its nuclear and ballistic missile programs while supporting military groups like Hezbollah. What the US and Israel wanted? Witkoff said the US sought three main goals in…

Iran struck by 4.3 magnitude earthquake, epicenter in Gerash city amid conflict with US-Israel

Tehran: An earthquake of 4.3 magnitude struck near the city of Gerash in southern Iran on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake occurred at a shallow depth of around 10 km and is typical of natural tectonic activity in the seismically active region.ย Seismically, this is consistent with natural tectonic activity in southern Iran, which sits along the active Zagros fault system, where shallow quakes are common.ย However, the timing, during the ongoing US military campaign known as Operation Epic Fury, has drawn attention to the quakeโ€™s geographic proximity to several sensitive Iranian sites. The tremor comes amid…
