'It doesn't feel like I'm in a different country. It feels like I'm in Tabriz or Ardebil (Iranian cities), more like I'm in Azerbaijan Province'.

Dude, if you want to go to war just do it, stop yapping so much.

Either shut up and make a deal or just go on and bomb us already.

—🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇾🇪 U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth:

'Message to IRAN: We see your LETHAL support to the Houthis. We know exactly what you are doing.

You know very well what the U.S. military is capable of — and you were warned. You will pay the CONSEQUENCE at the time and place of our choosing.'

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇹/🇴🇲 BREAKING: The fourth round of indirect Iran-US nuclear talks, which were supposed to take place this Saturday in Rome, have officially been postponed

They were postponed due to ongoing disagreements within the Trump administration on how the negotiations with Iran should be handled.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Al-Mayadeen correspondent on Iran's nuclear talks with America:

– In the last round of talks, the atmosphere was not as positive as in the previous rounds. Iran has serious doubts about the seriousness of the American side.

– U.S. imposing sanctions on Iran during the ongoing talks is a sign of hypocrisy.

– Iran is strictly adhering to its red lines about its missile program, drone capabilities, and other conventional defense sectors.

– Iran cannot just give up 60% enrichment of uranium within a short period of time, especially with no guarantees.

– Postponement of the negotiations is a sign that Iran does not want to engage in 'futile' negotiations.

—🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Al-Mayadeen correspondent on Iran-US nuclear talks:

– Iran has reportedly stated that it is sick of Israeli involvement, and that it will not allow the negotiations to turn into an arena for conveying Israel's messages.

– There are now serious obstacles facing the nuclear talks, as the U.S. is bringing up additional demands that are being pushed by the Israelis.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇴🇲 NEW: Iran's Deputy Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei, says the postponement was proposed by Oman

Reportedly, Oman proposed the negotiations to be postponed after Iran shared its concerns with Omani mediators, stating that America needs to 'get its act together' before negotiations can continue.

This seems to be the prevailing message: America's demands are constantly shifting, Iran says it can't negotiate this way.

— 🇺🇸 BREAKING: U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and his deputy will leave their posts

It is currently unclear if they resigned, of if they were dismissed by President Trump.

Politico speculates that Waltz could be replaced with Steve Witkoff, current U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: 'Mike Waltz's dismissal is not unrelated to the administration's current talks with Iran' – Politico

Waltz was known as one of the most hawkish officials in the Trump administration, who was actively advocating for war with Iran.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇪🇺 NEW: Iran has canceled the nuclear talks with the E3 (Germany, France and UK) that were scheduled for tomorrow

@Middle_East_Spectator

I'm hearing rumors that Waltz is stepping down because Iran won't agree to fully dismantle its nuclear program, and Waltz was insisting on striking Iran if that's the case.

Reportedly, Trump really doesn't want to go to war with Iran, despite his public rhetoric of backing Netanyahu.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: Trump announces immediate secondary sanctions on Iran, stating that the U.S. will sanction anyone who buys oil or petrochemicals from Iran

@Middle_East_Spectator

Yeah, these talks clearly aren't gonna work.

We should no longer entertain them.
