“The offers they provide are usually arrogant and humiliating, [and] not worth looking at,” said Khamenei.

The “main part” of the Islamic Republic’s uranium-enrichment capability was eliminated in the explosion, says the head of the Iranian parliament’s Research Center.

Fars News noted that the Iraqi Kurdistan region is one of the areas where the Iraqi media have repeatedly warned about the activities of "Zionist elements."

Israel has already turned to the Biden administration for help protecting its ships from further attacks by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

“From tonight, practical preparations for 60 percent enrichment will begin in Natanz."

The ship is owned by the same company that owns the MV Helios Ray, attacked by Iranian IRGC commandos in February 2021.

Iranian Atomic Energy Agency head Ali-Akbar Salehi: “We have activated a full IR-6 centrifuge chain”; “We have an enrichment capacity of 16,500 SWU—more than before the JCPOA.”

As of 2018, only 8,500 Jews still live in Iran and they constitute 0.01% of the Iranian population.

White House and State Department officials are not expecting the Iranians to return to the talks in Vienna that are scheduled to resume on Wednesday.

Iran has used this method before to lure former Iranian dissidents living abroad.

Intelligence sources estimate that Iran will not respond in a direct confrontation with Israel and will choose to harm Israeli missions abroad or through an extensive cyberattack or a limited missile attack.

These militias are deployed throughout southern Syria and operate in all three southern provinces, in Quneitra which adjacent to the border with Israel, Daraa, and Sweida.

Israel is not concerned about Iran's ability to avenge the ferocious attacks on key personnel and facilities connected to its nuclear program.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran . . . reserves its right to take action against perpetrators and agents."

On July 2, 2020, around 2 AM, there were explosions and a major fire in the centrifuge production plant at the nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz.

"Iran had dissolved six unirradiated scrap fuel plates for the TRR [Tehran Research Reactor] containing 0.43 kg of uranium enriched up to 20 percent U-235.”

Israel believes the operation against the Saviz was leaked to the US press before the operation even took place.

Iran believed that its attempt to deny the military role of the “Saviz” would protect it from attack, but the deniability ended up making it easier for those who struck it, says a former defense official.

Former Lebanese police chief Maj. Gen. (ret.) Ashraf Rifi compares Iran to Nazi Germany and says Hezbollah is leading Lebanon to suicide.

The Islamic Republic has produced 55 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent, and can reach 120 kilograms within eight months, says Iranian nuclear official.

Simply put, to remove all the sanctions, the Biden administration would have to reverse the terrorist designation of Iran which date back to the Carter administration.

There has been no comment thus far from Iran’s government nor from Israel.

Several other "spies" were also arrested, an Iranian official said. Their nationalities were not revealed.

“We believe . . . that our concerns about these cases would be better addressed through engagement with all stakeholders."

"As of 31 March 2021, the Agency verified that Iran was using . . .174 IR-4 centrifuges installed in one cascade to enrich natural UF6 up to 5% U-235."

"The odds any progress to revive the deal before Iran holds a presidential election in June have dwindled."

With Israelis vaccinated and travelling again, they will become more easily accessible targets for Iran.

The attack did not succeed in preventing ship from reaching its destination port.

It’s not clear what prompted the attack, nor who the attackers were.

The new president also made sure to staff his foreign policy ranks with old Obama hands, including John Kerry who has come to represent American anti-Israel attitude even more so than President Obama.
