Iran–US-Israel War Latest LIVE Updates: UN Security Council Calls Emergency Meeting, Trump’s New AI Post Goes Viral

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is the main mediator for Iran and also the speaker of its parliament, stated that “We won’t sign off on any deal until we are convinced that the rights of our people have been safeguarded.” According to sources, the US President, Donald Trump, had asked for tough conditions while drafting this deal between Iran and the US. The Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated that it would be wrong to take these speculations for granted before reaching an outcome from the negotiations.

American forces operating under US CENTCOM have reportedly redirected 118 commercial ships, while disabling five more during the US-led maritime blockade of Iran’s port facilities, according to reports from Monday.

Donald Trump rejected the claims of some reports that doubted the veracity of the nuclear clauses in his planned Iran deal, which according to him, clearly forbids Tehran from having a nuclear weapon. “FAKE NEWS CNN just stated, as it routinely does, that the Iran Nuclear Deal I negotiated does not mention ‘nuclear.’ Actually, it says, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon,” tweeted Trump. According to him, “It then goes on, at length, to talk about various other issues regarding Nuclear” and he went ahead to claim that “That’s pretty much what the entire thing is about.”
