🧐Iran-Israel ceasefire: Why it could COLLAPSE

Trump is using the same playbook with Iran that he used in Iraq, notes Iranian analyst Hadi Daloul.

🔶 Trump bombs supposed nuclear sites — possibly knowing they’re empty — to claim victory over Iran’s nuclear program.

🔶 When it's revealed the sites had no enriched materials, he’ll push for a new search — just like the WMD hunt in Iraq.

🔶 After Trump declaring Iran’s program “dismantled,” there's no need for the IAEA anymore.

🔶 The IAEA, once key to monitoring, is now being turned into a SCAPEGOAT.


After Israel-Iran exchange and US bombings of Iranian nuclear sites, a simple ceasefire won’t solve the deep-rooted conflict, says Lebanese expert Mahdi Akil.

🔶 Iran won’t give up uranium enrichment — it’s a core national value.

🔶 Netanyahu and Trump aimed to weaken Iran’s leadership but underestimated the country’s unity and resilience.

🔶 Trump claims to have “neutralized the Iranian threat,” but Iran insists on continuing its nuclear program.

🔶 Combining dialogue with military threats could “EXPLODE THE SITUATION” and lead to a worst-case scenario.

Iran has repeatedly stressed that its nuclear program is purely peaceful, with the IAEA recently stating that they didn’t have any proof of the Islamic Republic’s “systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon.”

⚖️ THIS IS PURELY POLITICAL — LAWYER ON KARAPETYAN CASE

The lawyer for detained Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan, Aram Vardevanyan, spoke to RT about the harsh conditions imposed by the court:

🗣"The court didn’t just order imprisonment — it also banned contact with the outside world. The only exception is close relatives and, of course, legal defense."

Even family contact is severely limited: "Only two visits per month with close relatives are allowed."

👉Karapetyan was arrested after publicly defending the Armenian Apostolic Church against attacks by the authorities.

"There is no crime, yet a case was opened. There are no grounds for charges, yet accusations were made. There are no legal reasons for strict detention, yet the harshest measure — arrest — was chosen," Vardevanyan emphasized.

"According to international standards, including those of the Council of Europe and PACE, what’s happening to Karapetyan qualifies as political persecution."
