United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was looking into sanction relief for Iran, but after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s statement about victory, he will no longer consider it. “During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery – The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. He added that he saved Khamenei from a “very ugly death” and that the Iranian supreme leader lied about winning the war with Israel. Moreover, the president remarked that Tehran “should realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR.”

Iran’s military warns Trump against ‘reckless rhetoric’

Spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ali Mohamad Naeini, warned United States President Donald Trump on Saturday against pursuing his “reckless rhetoric” against Tehran. “Our advice to Trump is to open his eyes and stop the baseless talk and erratic behavior,” Naeini stated during the funeral ceremony for IRGC personnel killed in Israeli strikes on Iran. “He still does not understand the real sources of Iran’s power,” he added. The IRGC spokesperson stressed that, if attacked again, Iran’s response will be “more powerful and more devastating” than its recent response to Israeli attacks. The comments come after Trump insisted  American strikes on Iran “obliterated” its nuclear facilities and ensured the country won’t try to develop nuclear weapons in the near future. He also criticized Iran for claiming the end of the war marked Tehran’s victory over Israel.

Iran will not allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to install cameras at nuclear sites anymore and will ban its Director General Rafael Grossi from accessing the facilities, Vice Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Hamid Reza Haji Babaei said on Saturday. Speaking at the ceremony honoring those killed in Israeli strikes on Iran, the lawmaker noted the decision against the IAEA came after Tehran determined sensitive data on its nuclear facilities was found in Israeli documents. On Friday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Grossi of having “directly facilitated the adoption of a politically-motivated resolution against Iran by the IAEA,” which led to Israeli and American attacks on the country.

NN: Do not be fooled. Iran’s nuclear weapons program has been dented not destroyed. And its accelerating forward because the mullahs’ have decided in their weakened state their is only one way the  theocracy can survive. That  is to acquire nuclear tipped missiles and fast.  And  a product demonstration. Hopefully they can control themselves and not bomb Israel with nukes for now.  But Like North Korea  a underground test.  Popping off a couple of nukes means no more attacks and no one talking regime change anymore. 

Trump “We think we hit them so hard and so fast, they didn’t get to move,”

Trump for over  a month told them he would attack… Was NOT a surprise

Trump told reporters in a news conference at a NATO summit. “If you knew about that material, it’s very hard and very dangerous to move… They call it ‘dust,’ but it’s very, very heavy.”

Its a big hockey puck. And light enough to pick up with a rubber glove

Trump “And they were way down. You know, they’re 30 stories down. They’re literally 30 to 35 stories down in the ground.”

Dah! they have loading docks and cargo elevators…. actual picture from Fordo

” It’s very, very hard to move.” Really just put it in a few pickup trucks

Actual enriched hockey pucks

Joseph Cirincione, a nuclear nonproliferation expert and former vice chair of the Center for International Policy, Said Iran could have moved its enriched uranium with just “three or four trucks.”

United States President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Iran had “very evil intentions” concerning its nuclear program but insisted that, following the US attacks on its nuclear sites, Tehran will not return to plans to develop nuclear arms “anytime soon.”

NB a pigs ass…they neve halted their nuclear weapon program. they just shifted locations

Trump reiterated his claims that American strikes on Iran “obliterated” their “evil nuclear sites” and “finished them off.” The US president noted that “time will tell” if Iran will try to develop nuclear weapons, but expressed confidence it won’t happen in the near future. He added that Iran wants to engage in talks with Washington following the attacks.

NN: the trick has been for 20 years endless talks as their centrifuges spin weapons grade uranium are they really so sapid as to  start that dance all over again?

US President Donald Trump said Friday he would “absolutely” bomb Iran again if intelligence indicated the country was still able to enrich uranium to nuclear-weapons grade.Asked in a White House press conference whether he would consider fresh air strikes if last week’s sorties were not successful in ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions, he said: “Without question. Absolutely.” Trump said Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “got beat to hell” in the hostilities involving the United States and Israel and that “it was a great time to end it.” 

NN: Iran is not settled business

Trump: Iran sanctions to remain due to Khamenei

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was looking into sanction relief for Iran, but after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s statement about victory, he will no longer consider it. “During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery – The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. He added that he saved Khamenei from a “very ugly death” and that the Iranian supreme leader lied about winning the war with Israel. Moreover, the president remarked that Tehran “should realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR.”

The United States government has been considering potentially extending a hand to Iran, to help the latter get up to $30 billion that would be used for building a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, CNN reported on Thursday citing sources. The investment in question would be funded by the US’ Arab partners. The sources added that sanctions removal, and giving access to billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds, were also being discussed in order to get Tehran back to negotiating. Officials from the US and the Middle East have been holding talks with Iranian officials during the commotion between Israel and Iran, with discussions still ongoing. The media outlet revealed that while the Trump administration  continues to push for the zero uranium enrichment clause, one preliminary draft proposal shows that Washington might be willing to offer Tehran some incentives.

nn: i hear laughter!

United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to claims that US strikes did not destroy Iranian nuclear sites, empty nuclear sights  saying they worked “perfectly,” Sky News reported. “Based on everything we have seen – and I’ve seen it all – our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons.no it did not. they did destroy empty factories Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target – and worked perfectly,”  yes they did Hegseth said.

“The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran, so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission,”  if the misson was to destroy underground bunkers that was done,,,…. empty underground bunkers he added, joining the White House in refuting reports that claim otherwise.

NN: its a case of misdirected new. Yes in an  amazing strike the US destroyed the worlds deepest strongest underground   bunker used for enriching bomb grade uranium. and researching the design and manufacturing of atomic bombs.

BUT

The destroyed facility Fordo was empty. No enriched uranium, no centrifuges, not nuclear triggers and no personal. In  essence Mr. President you bombed a empty underground bunker.

As far as other key components necessary for the bomb. The 2 breeder enrichment reactors were left untouched. The heavy water reactor was not hit. And  the two “experimental” reactors staffed by Russians were also not hit.

Bottom line Iran’s nuclear bomb factories are up and running. No cookie for Donald! But the god news  is he has a good shot the Nobel high explosive Peace Prize

And Israel has a good shot at being nuked!

EU said to think Iran moved uranium before US strike

European capitals believe Iran moved its enriched uranium from Fordow before the United States carried out strikes on the facility, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Thursday. According to two sources with access to preliminary intelligence reports, 408 kilograms of uranium were moved to various other undisclosed locations in Iran. The bloc’s preliminary intelligence indicated that the facility suffered “extensive damages” as a result of the US strike, “but not full structural destruction.” Conflicting reports emerged as to the extent of the destruction caused to one of Iran’s most important nuclear sites. US President Donald Trump, however, today repeated that “nothing was taken out of [the] facility.” He argued that removing any materials from the site “would take too long” and would prove “too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move.” Not True… Moving these enriched uranium hockey pucks is well within the capacity of Iran’s personnel. The larger concern when handling these materials is their inherent toxicity. For this reason they are always handled with gloves and similar protection. One would have to spend a long period of time in close proximity to a very large quantity of uranium in order to receive a dose of radiation that was any more notable than the typical background radiation we receive in everyday life.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, confirmed to Al Jazeera on Wednesday that the country’s nuclear enrichment facilities were “badly damaged” following the United States’ strikes on Sunday. “Yes, our nuclear installations have been badly damaged. That’s for sure because [they have] come under repeated attacks,” Baghaei said, adding that Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation and other agencies were looking into the matter. While Israeli sources already reportedly assessed that Tehran’s nuclear program suffered “very significant damage,” and US President Donald Trump claimed repeatedly that the nuclear sites were “completely destroyed,” this statement marks the first time that someone from Iran admitted to severe damage to the country’s nuclear program.

NN: false flag. Iran had 2 weeks notice the attacks were coming. In essence the US bombed underground empty bunkers….totally destroying the empty structures only. Satellite imagery we published  in BlackMask Market News and Commentary Titled: Sell Out! explains all this.

The above satellite imagine shows a line of trucks at the Fordo Bunker taking out the enriched uranium and the advanced  centrifuges before the US attack. Which means all that was achieved was to force  Iran to have  a moving day.

as far as the reactors none were even attacked because the US did not want to risk a radiation leak.

The satellite image below shows the untouched reactors

Bottom Line Iran is still racing to get the unclear bomb. And nothing has been done to stop them
