Did Iran just open its nuclear program? Trump envoy reveals Tehran’s secret letter to UN’s nuke body

Did Iran just open its nuclear program? Trump envoy reveals Tehran’s secret letter to UN’s nuke body

Published on Jun 19, 2026 09:30 pm IST A major new development has emerged just days after the landmark U.S.-Iran memorandum was signed. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Iran could soon invite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect key nuclear facilities across the country, potentially opening the door to one of the most significant verification efforts in years. According to Witkoff, a previously undisclosed letter addressed to IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi reportedly includes a formal invitation for inspectors to enter Iran and help locate, verify, and monitor Tehran’s stockpile of enriched nuclear material. The inspections could become the first major test of Iran’s compliance with the new agreement. The whereabouts of parts of Iran’s nuclear inventory have remained one of the biggest unanswered questions throughout the conflict. Witkoff also indicated that American nuclear experts could participate in the verification process as both sides enter a critical 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a broader and more permanent settlement.   Home / Videos / Did Iran just open its nuclear program?

Iran’s Khamenei warns US bases in Gulf ‘no longer have safe haven’ amid Hormuz talks

3 min readMay 26, 2026 05:09 PM IST Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Monday warned that American military bases across the Gulf would no longer have a “safe haven”, hinting at a sharper tone from Tehran even as diplomatic efforts continue to prevent a wider regional escalation, news agency AFP reported. “What is certain in this regard is that the hands of time will not turn backwards, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases,” said Khamenei, who has not appeared in public since he took office in March, in a message marking the Eid al-Adha holiday, AFP reported. The statement comes amid renewed negotiations involving US and Iranian officials over de-escalation and the future of the Strait of Hormuz. The warning is being seen as one of Tehran’s strongest public messages in recent weeks, directed at both Washington and Gulf Arab states hosting American military infrastructure. Analysts say the remarks underscore Iran’s efforts to maintain strategic pressure while talks remain underway in Doha and …

Trump runs out of options, itches to restart failed ‘Project Freedom’ as Iran keeps US on its toes?

Published on May 09, 2026 12:29 pm IST Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate as fresh political and military developments intensify the already volatile Middle East situation. President Donald Trump is reportedly facing narrowing diplomatic options as Iran continues to delay responses to Washington’s proposals, while global attention grows around the future of the controversial “Project Freedom” initiative.

At the same time, U.S. officials including Secretary Marco Rubio have indicated that Iran’s response to recent diplomatic outreach is expected soon, adding further urgency to the unfolding crisis. Military tensions have also been rising, with continued naval activity, sanctions pressure, and regional instability involving Gulf allies. Countries like Saudi Arabia and others have been closely monitoring the situation, with conflicting reports emerging over airspace access, military coordination, and regional security cooperation. The broader conflict has already disrupted oil trade flows, heightened fears of escalation, …

Khamenei yet to be buried after seven weeks of war? Report says Iran regime ‘too weak’ to hold funeral

Khamenei yet to be buried after seven weeks of war? Report says Iran regime ‘too weak’ to hold funeral

Iranian officials are reportedly “too afraid” to hold an elaborate funeral service for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei amid the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. Earlier in March, IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported that Ali Khamenei’s body would be buried in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad. (AP) Tehran is yet to determine the burial site for Khamenei, who was assassinated in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28, which triggered a war that spilt into the wider Middle East region. Follow US-Iran war news live updates In 1989, when Iran held a days-long funeral for Ali Khamenei’s predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei, millions of Iranians swarmed the streets of Tehran in mourning. However, such a view couldn’t be seen for Ali Khamenei in the wake of the US-Iran war. ‘Too afraid, too weak’ Behnam Taleblu from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told The New York Post that Iran is in no position to hold an elaborate memorial service as the war is currently in the middle of an uncertain truce — …

Trump’s abusive post on Iran War reveals a frustrated — and dangerous — president

Trump’s abusive post on Iran War reveals a frustrated — and dangerous — president

US President Donald Trump, who has left no stone unturned in lowering the bar for rectitude, both personal and institutional, has done it again. On Sunday, an angry Trump put out an expletive-laden post on Truth Social, warning Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz in the most coarse and abusive language ever used at this high level of global governance: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” What does this recourse to profanity on the global stage reveal about Trump? It reveals a US President closeted with unctuous aides, who is frustrated and ranting, since the war against Iran, codenamed Operation “Epic Fury”, is not unspooling as per the script he had envisioned, that is, a Venezuela 2.0. This pattern of lashing out at senior officials who speak the truth and conduct themselves with professional integrity was evidenced earlier …

Mojtaba Khamenei thanks Iraq in new message; but fails to appear in person| India News

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued yet another written message — this time thanking Iraq — but his continued absence from public view is raising questions about his condition and whereabouts. Iran’s message to US. (AP/Reuters) In his latest message, Khamenei expressed appreciation to Iraq for backing Iran during the ongoing conflict. According to Iranian media, the message specifically acknowledged both the Iraqi people and its top religious leadership. He “expressed his appreciation to the supreme religious authority (in Iraq) and the people of Iraq for their clear stance against aggression against Iran and their support for our country”, the ISNA news agency reported, referring to Ali Sistani. However, Mojtaba Khamenei’s absence from the public has fuelled speculation about whether he is alive or not. Adding to the uncertainty, Donald Trump, in an interview with the Financial Times, recently cast doubt on Khamenei’s condition. “The son is either dead or in extremely bad shape. We’ve not heard from him at all. He’s gone.” Also read | Where is Mojtaba Khamenei? CIA, Mossad continue …

Cong alleges govt prioritising US-Israeli ties as PM silent on Khamenei killing

Cong alleges govt prioritising US-Israeli ties as PM silent on Khamenei killing

The Congress on Friday attacked the Modi government for its “silence” on the assassination of Iran`s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said “a compromised prime minister no doubt wants to avoid antagonising his American and Israeli friend”. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said India has rightly condemned Iran`s attacks on Gulf states but is completely quiet on the US-Israeli assault on Iran in the first place. “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the constitutional head of state in Iran, was assassinated on February 28 2026 by the US and Israel. The PM is silent. The EAM is silent. Parliament is yet to have an obituary reference,” Ramesh said on X. “India has rightly condemned Iran`s attacks on Gulf states but is completely quiet on the US-Israeli assault on Iran in the first place. It should be remembered that Iran is a part of the BRICS+ forum for which India holds the Presidency for this year,” he said. Noting that in May 2024, the President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a mysterious helicopter crash, …
