The Iranian foreign ministry said that the country has started activating a new advanced centrifuge after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors (BoG) adopted a new anti-Tehran resolution on Iran's peaceful nuclear programme.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirms Tehran's right to retaliate against Israel for its recent airstrikes on Iranian military sites. The response will be strategic and timely, with Iran emphasizing strength to deter further Israeli actions while avoiding unnecessary escalation.

Under past reformist presidents, Iran repeatedly tried to build a grand bargain deal with the United States, entailing compromises over its nuclear program in return for negotiating spheres of influence across the Middle East.
