Iran Nuclear Crisis Escalates as Ayatollah ‘Calls Trump’s Bluff’
- Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced in Tehran on Wednesday that Iran would not comply with a U.S. Proposal requiring the country to halt its uranium enrichment activities.
- This rejection followed a U.S. Proposal submitted via envoy Steve Witkoff, which called for Iran to cease enrichment and form a regional consortium.

- Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent has reached 408.6 kg, enough for roughly ten nuclear bombs if further refined.
- The deadlock in nuclear talks heightens the risk of military conflict and leaves the future of Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional stability uncertain.
