Amidst US President Donald Trump decertifying compliance by Iranian government and Washington’s continuous threats of withdrawing from multilateral nuclear deal, Iranian leadership has warned that it will cut the deal into shreds if other party chooses to tear it up

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, while meeting a group of academic elites in Tehran on Wednesday, said, “So long as the other side has not torn up the JCPOA, we will not tear it up either; however, if they tear up the JCPOA, we will shred it.”

Iran and five permanent members of the UN Security Council, including US, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany, known as P5+1, had signed the Joint comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015.

The implementation of the deal began in January 2016.  International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed several times that Iran is fulfilling its obligations.

According to the official website of  the Iranian leader, he  said, “Understanding that the JCPOA is in the interests of themselves and the Americans, the Europeans expressed opposition to the remarks of the US president about tearing up the JCPOA and the adoption of this stance is good but not enough.”  

He reiterated, “The Europeans must stand up against the US measures such as the violation of the JCPOA including the sanctions that they anticipate to emerge from Congress and avoid unanimity with the Americans on issues such as Iran’s defensive power and the presence of Iran in the region because we will by no means accept the unison of the Europeans with the bullying of the US.” [/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]He criticised US saying, “Those who have atomic missiles and weapons are prohibiting Iran from possessing missiles with two or three thousand kilometer [ranges]. What concern of yours is this issue or other matters related to Iran?”   

Khamenei dismissed the criticisms of Iran’s missile program saying, “Why do you, yourself, have missiles? Why do you have atomic bombs?”

The Leader said that Iran has managed to stand against “the US hegemony” and make progress under pressure and sanctions. He described that Washington’s anger stems from the Islamic Republic’s strong role in the fight against the IS terrorists.

He said that US was furious because Iran has managed to thwart their plots in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. “The Islamic Republic has foiled the malicious US plots.”

He further said, “It is natural that US leaders would yell and speak against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) that has dealt a blow to the dangerous objectives of the US and Daesh (IS) in the region.”

The Leader also denounced Trump’s recent statements about Iran saying it would be “a waste of time to respond to such blatherings and nonsensical remarks by the foulmouthed US president.”

Iranian leader recalled the animosity of the US regime towards his country since the victory of Islamic Revolution in 1979 and said, “In those days, there was neither the nuclear nor the missile and regional influence issue; however, the Americans had learnt that with the victory of the Revolution, they had lost Iran as a subordinate, obedient and very beneficial country.” 

He said that US president and rulers were suffering from ‘retardation’ because they do not understand the developments in Iran and the region.

However President Donald Trump has alleged that Iranian government hides the facts and violates other limits.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]US representative to UN Nikki Haley, instead of talking about the compliance of nuclear deal conditions by Iranians, on Wednesday, raised Tehran’s missile program.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Israel-Lebanon ceasefire to begin within hours as Trump announces 10-day truce

Israel and Lebanon may begin a 10-day ceasefire within hours after a proposal announced by Donald Trump amid ongoing tensions.

Published

Donald Trump

A temporary halt in hostilities between Israel and Lebanon is expected to begin within hours after US President Donald Trump announced a proposed 10-day ceasefire between the two sides, amid ongoing tensions in the region.

According to his statement, the ceasefire is likely to take effect around 5 p.m. Eastern Time, although independent confirmation from both sides is still awaited.

The development follows discussions involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, with mediation efforts led by the United States.

Officials indicated that the proposed truce is aimed at creating a limited window to reduce violence and potentially pave the way for broader diplomatic engagement. The situation along the Israel-Lebanon border has remained tense in recent weeks, with escalation linked to the activities of Hezbollah.

Diplomatic efforts have intensified in recent days, with discussions facilitated by the United States, including the involvement of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, details of the agreement and the extent of coordination between the parties remain unclear.

The situation remains fluid, and the success of the ceasefire will depend on adherence by all sides involved. The conflict has already led to significant humanitarian and geopolitical consequences, including displacement and disruption in affected areas.

While the proposed ceasefire is being seen as an important step toward de-escalation, broader negotiations involving regional stakeholders are expected to be necessary for any lasting resolution.

US ends oil sanctions waiver for Iran and Russia, impact likely on India’s energy imports

The US decision to end the Iran and Russia oil waiver may impact India’s oil imports, fuel prices and global energy markets.

Published

US oil tanker

The United States has decided not to extend a temporary sanctions waiver that allowed limited trade in Iranian and Russian oil, marking a shift towards stricter enforcement of economic restrictions.

The waiver, introduced in March 2026, had permitted the sale of oil already loaded on ships to stabilise global supply during heightened geopolitical tensions. However, it is now set to expire around mid-April without renewal.

US officials have indicated that the move is part of a broader strategy to increase pressure on both Iran and Russia amid ongoing conflicts and geopolitical tensions.

What the waiver did and why it mattered

The short-term waiver allowed millions of barrels of oil—estimated at around 140 million barrels—to enter global markets, helping ease supply shortages and prevent sharp price spikes.

It also enabled countries like India to purchase discounted crude oil from Russia and resume limited imports from Iran after years of restrictions.

Impact on India

India, one of the world’s largest oil importers, is expected to feel the impact of the decision in several ways:

  • Reduced access to discounted oil
    India had been buying cheaper Russian crude and recently resumed Iranian imports under the waiver. Its end may limit these options.
  • Potential rise in fuel costs
    With fewer discounted supplies available, India may need to rely more on costlier sources, which could increase domestic fuel prices.
  • Supply diversification pressure
    India may need to explore alternative suppliers in the Middle East, Africa, or the US to maintain energy security.
  • Geopolitical balancing challenge
    The move adds pressure on India to align with US sanctions while managing its own economic interests.

Global energy market concerns

The end of the waiver comes at a time when global oil markets are already under stress due to conflict in West Asia and disruptions in key routes like the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysts warn that tightening sanctions could:

  • Reduce global oil supply
  • Increase price volatility
  • Intensify competition among major buyers like India and China

Bigger picture

The US decision reflects a broader shift from temporary relief measures to stricter enforcement of sanctions, even if it risks tightening global energy markets.

For India, the development highlights a recurring challenge—balancing affordable energy access with geopolitical realities.

Sanctioned tanker fails to breach US blockade, turns back near Strait of Hormuz

A US-sanctioned tanker failed to cross the Hormuz blockade and turned back, underscoring rising tensions and disruption in global shipping routes.

Published

on

A US-sanctioned oil tanker failed to break through a newly imposed American naval blockade and was forced to turn back near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting growing tensions in the region.

The vessel, identified as the Rich Starry, reversed its course after attempting to exit the Gulf, according to shipping data. The development comes just days after the United States enforced restrictions on ships linked to Iranian ports.

The blockade was announced by Donald Trump following the collapse of recent diplomatic talks with Iran. The move aims to restrict maritime traffic associated with Iranian trade.

Officials said that during the first 24 hours of enforcement, no vessel successfully crossed the blockade. Several ships, including the sanctioned tanker, complied with instructions from US forces and turned back toward regional waters.

The tanker is reported to be linked to a Chinese company previously sanctioned for dealing with Iran. It was carrying a cargo of methanol loaded from the United Arab Emirates at the time of the incident.

The situation underscores the rising risks in one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes. The Strait of Hormuz typically handles a significant share of global energy shipments, but traffic has sharply declined due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.

The blockade, which applies specifically to vessels travelling to or from Iranian ports, has added further uncertainty for shipping companies, insurers and global energy markets.
