ALBAWABA- U.S. President Donald Trump has described Iran’s recent behavior in nuclear negotiations as “more aggressive,” telling Fox News that Tehran’s latest response to a U.S. Proposal is “unacceptable.”
“Iran is asking for things you can’t do,” Trump said, adding, “They’re behaving completely differently than they were just a few days ago.”
These remarks come amid growing alarm from U.S. Military leadership. The commander of U.S. Central Command warned that Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, pushing the region closer to a potential crisis.
While describing Iranian proxies as weakened, the commander identified the Houthis as the most serious ongoing threat. He emphasized that U.S. forces are prepared to respond with overwhelming force should President Trump give the order to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
A military option remains on the table, with the president and defense secretary reportedly briefed on multiple scenarios.
The commander also warned that if Israel launches a unilateral attack on Iran, it would likely endanger U.S. forces stationed across the region.
Tensions further escalated as Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization spokesman, Behrouz Kamalvandi, cautioned that Tehran could scale back cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if a resolution is passed against Iran.
Kamalvandi said Iran has “cooperated beyond its legal obligations,” but would reassess this stance if its goodwill is not reciprocated.
In a parallel development, Iran’s intelligence ministry claimed it had completed a major covert operation to obtain a trove of highly classified Israeli documents.
The cache reportedly includes sensitive files related to Israel’s nuclear and military programs, details of dual-use scientific projects, and alleged collaborations with U.S. and European institutions.
Iran says the material contains identities and locations of Israeli scientists and could be shared with allies or anti-Israel resistance groups.
Tehran asserts the documents expose what it calls “false and misleading” Israeli reports to international bodies, particularly regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. The documents are now reportedly being reviewed by Iran’s armed forces and intelligence agencies.
