US Iran Tensions: A big statement has come out regarding the political situation in Iran. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and, despite not being seen in public, continues to play an active role in the country’s affairs. He said this in front of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US Senate.

Claim of increased activism behind the scenes

According to Marco Rubio, there are indications that Mujtaba Khamenei is now more actively involved in governing power than before. He said that although they are not visible in public, they are playing a role in important decisions internally. Rubio also indicated that despite being injured in the US-Israel attacks earlier this year, he has not been completely removed from running the country.

Background of family and power struggle

According to the information, Mujtaba Khamenei was declared the Supreme Leader after the assassination of his father Ali Khamenei. This incident is said to have happened during the initial attacks by America and Israel on 28 February. After this, Iran retaliated by attacking American bases in the Gulf region, due to which the situation gradually turned into a regional war. However, now the situation is somehow under temporary ceasefire.

Strait of Hormuz becomes cause of global tension

Amidst this conflict, the global energy crisis has deepened due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. This waterway is considered extremely important for the world’s oil and gas supply. According to reports, Mujtaba Khamenei is currently living in a secret place under tight security and is involved in government decisions from there through encrypted communication and other means.

Deadlock in US-Iran peace talks

The US Secretary of State said that there are still possibilities for peace talks with Iran, but the talks are completely stalled. He said that the US administration is not ruling out the possibility of any agreement, but the situation is extremely unstable. President Donald Trump had also said that a new agreement can be expected soon.

Strict conditions of sanctions on Iran

Rubio made it clear that the sanctions imposed on Iran will continue until it takes concrete steps regarding its nuclear activities and uranium enrichment. He said that Iran will have to clearly announce that it is completely opening the Strait of Hormuz and no ships will be attacked. Along with this, cooperation will also have to be done in removing landmines from sea routes.

America’s tough stance on nuclear program

America says that the sanctions imposed on Iran have been imposed because of its nuclear program and uranium enrichment activities. If Iran agrees to stop or end these activities, sanctions relief can be given.

Tension continues in the Middle East

Meanwhile, the situation in the Middle East still remains tense due to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Lebanon. For this reason, Iran has currently stopped the ongoing peace talks through mediators. Experts believe that unless the regional conflict is completely calmed down, there is little possibility of major progress in Iran-US talks.

Israel Lebanon Talks: After decades, direct talks have started between Israel and Lebanon. This important meeting going on in the US State Department in Washington DC is being seen as a major diplomatic event at the global level. However, meanwhile, Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon have further increased the tension, putting the ceasefire in danger.

The meeting between the ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon has started in Washington DC. This meeting is being held in the American State Department. Ambassador Nida Amavi from the Lebanese side and Ambassador Yechiel Litter from the Israeli side are involved in the talks. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also present in this important meeting.

face to face conversation after decades

Israeli and Lebanese officials are holding rare face-to-face talks in Washington on Tuesday, The New York Times reports. There are no formal diplomatic relations between the two countries, hence this meeting is considered very unusual. The ambassadors of both the countries posted in America are involved in this talk and according to the State Department, the US Secretary of State is also participating in it. Meanwhile, Israel has started new attacks in southern Lebanon as part of its broader military campaign against Hezbollah. This increasing conflict has put the existing ceasefire in danger.

‘It’s a process, not a single event’

Before the meeting, Marco Rubio said he hoped the conversation would create a framework for future negotiations. “This is a process, not a single event. The complexities of this issue will not be resolved in the next six hours,” he said.

Protests increased within Lebanon too

This talk taking place in Washington has become a cause of controversy within Lebanon also. Political differences are emerging on this issue in the country. Hezbollah has completely rejected these talks. In recent days, its supporters have taken to the streets of Beirut and demonstrated against this negotiation. This situation has further increased the fear of instability in the country.

When asked before the meeting whether Israel could agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah, Rubio said, “It’s not just about that. It’s about eliminating Hezbollah’s influence in the region for the last 20-30 years.” According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, 2,124 people have died in Israeli attacks since March 2, while 6,921 people have been injured.

US Iran conflict: Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, America has clearly indicated for the first time that its military campaign against Iran will not last long. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that this operation can be completed in “weeks, not months” and there will be no need to deploy ground troops for it.

After the meeting of foreign ministers of G7 countries in France, Rubio said that America can achieve its set goals before or around the time. However, he also acknowledged that some American troops are being deployed in the area, so that options remain open if needed.

Deployment of marines and airborne troops begins

The US Secretary of State may have ruled out a ground war, but the Pentagon has started sending thousands of marines and airborne troops to the Middle East. According to the information, the first group of soldiers is going to arrive by the end of this March through a big amphibious ship. This has increased the fear that if the situation worsens, the war may spread to the ground level.

Trump’s ultimatum, 10 day deadline

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is also indicating to end this war soon. He has given a new deadline of 10 days to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. Also warned that if this does not happen, the energy infrastructure can be attacked. The Trump administration has also sent a 15-point proposal to Iran through Pakistan, which includes conditions like stopping uranium enrichment and limiting the missile program.

Iran refused to negotiate

However, Tehran has so far rejected these proposals. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that talks amid attacks are unacceptable and Iran will respond heavily. The scope of this war is continuously increasing. So far, more than 1900 people have died in Iran and more than 20 thousand people have been injured. More than 300 American soldiers have been injured and 13 have died.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the main objective of the ongoing US attacks on Iran is to destroy its ballistic missile capability and not to change the government there. He said that this operation is being conducted to eliminate the threat posed by Iran’s short-range ballistic missiles and its navy. This action is being taken especially keeping in mind the security of American naval ships and military bases. Rubio said that the current action has been quite successful, but more stringent attacks will be made in the future.

Marco Rubio also said that America already feared that if Iran was attacked, it would retaliate against America. According to intelligence information, Iranian commanders had already been ordered to respond immediately in case of any attack. If America had waited for the first attack, more lives of American soldiers could have been lost. For this reason the President decided to take the first step. Rubio said that if America had not attacked first and Iran had targeted American targets, then the question would have arisen as to why action was not taken earlier when the threat was known.

Completely destroy Iran’s missile power – Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio made it clear that the purpose of this mission is to completely destroy Iran’s missile power so that it cannot rebuild it. Besides, it also has to be ensured that it cannot pursue nuclear program under the guise of missile programme. Although he said that America wants Iran to have a leadership that is different from the fundamentalist religious regime, but this is not the goal of the current operation. Rubio warned that the toughest attacks were yet to come and the next phase would be even more damaging to Iran. He also said that this campaign will continue until all the targets set are achieved. Top leaders related to national security in Congress are being informed about this operation. America says that after this action the world will be more secure.

How many interceptor missiles does America make?

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that amid the ongoing military tension with Iran, the US Army may carry out more serious attacks in the coming days. He said, “The toughest blows of the US military are yet to come. The next phase will be even tougher for Iran. Rubio also said that America’s defense production capacity is limited. According to him, America is able to make only about 6 to 7 interceptor missiles every month. Interceptor missiles are part of the defense system, which are used to shoot down enemy missiles in the air. In comparison, he claimed that Iran produces more than 100 missiles every month. It has the capacity to produce thousands of suicide drones. This difference creates a strategic challenge for the US, as the production of defense missiles is said to be slower than that of attack weapons.

JD Vance on Iran Nuclear Program: The US attacked Iran’s nuclear bases and destroyed them. The US military attacked Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan nuclear bases. After this, US President Donald Trump claimed that he had caused a lot of damage to Iran. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that the US attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran have caused a lot of significant, adequate damage, causing his nuclear capabilities to go backwards.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Politico, “The most important thing is that he is far from nuclear weapons today than before the President took this bold step. It is the most important thing to understand. The most important thing is to understand. There is enough damage in different places and we are knowing more about it. Their analysis has come between the opposing reports on the limits of damage caused by the attacks.

Revealed in a CNN report

In a CNN report, citing sources familiar with the initial American intelligence assessment, it has been said that the US has delayed a few months in attacking. US President Trump’s claim is false that Iran’s nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed in the attack. However, Rubio told CNN’s report a false story, which should not be really reported again.

However, regarding these attacks, Iran clearly said that their goods have not suffered any kind of damage. He has placed all his things on the right bases, with the help of which he can make nuclear weapons. Apart from this, US Vice President JD Vance said that Iran has almost so much uranium, with the help of which they can make 9 nuclear weapons.

Israel -ran war: In view of the increasing tension and military situation between Israel and Iran, the Government of India has issued advisory for all Indian citizens living there.
