How U.S. & Iran are ‘weaponising' nuclear talks & why it could reshape Middle-East power dynamics
The U.S. and Iran are back at the negotiating table. But is this really about nuclear weapons — or is something else going on? As Washington and Tehran exchange proposals, veiled threats, and strategic silence, the real game is being played in the shadows. Behind the scenes, pressure is replacing compromise, and diplomacy is being weaponised. So what's at stake here? Is this about uranium enrichment or leverage over the Middle East? Why is Israel lurking in the subtext of every American statement? And why is the IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog stuck in a no-win position? From snapback sanctions to regional flashpoints, in this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta breaks down how the Iran-U.S. talks could reshape the geopolitical map without a single missile being fired.

US On High Alert Amid Fear Of Israeli Strike On Iran's Nuclear Sites: Report
Washington: The United States is reportedly on high alert amid rising fears of a potential Israeli strike on Iran. The Trump administration fears that the Jewish state may choose to strike Iran's nuclear facilities without the consent of the United States, if ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran over the latter's nuclear program break down, according to a report by the Washington Post. It's amid these concerns that US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will be moving US personnel out of the Middle East, especially Iran, because "it could be a dangerous place." The US State Department has also allowed some staff to leave Iraq, while the Pentagon is authorising military families to voluntarily depart US bases across the region, the Post reported. US-Iran Nuclear Talks The increased security comes amid Trump's dimming hopes of finalising a deal with Tehran that would restrict Iran's nuclear program, forestalling another potentially destructive military conflict in the Middle East after the Israel-Hamas war. Trump on Wednesday said the United States would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. "They can't have a nuclear weapon. Very simple, they can't have a nuclear weapon," he said. Israel's Threat Last month, Axios reported that Israel is getting ready to quickly strike Iran if ongoing talks between the US and the Islamic Republic break down. "Bibi is waiting for the nuclear talks to collapse and for the moment Trump will be disappointed about the negotiations and open to giving him the go-ahead," the publication reported, quoting sources who used Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nickname. Trump has also repeatedly threatened to strike Iran if stuttering talks over its nuclear programme fail, and in an interview with the New York Post earlier on Wednesday, said he was growing "less confident" that Tehran would agree to stop enriching uranium, a key American demand. But, in recent months, US intelligence officials have been reportedly concerned that Tel Aviv may strike Iran's nuclear facilities without taking consent from the United States. A move like that could derail the Trump administration's delicate nuclear negotiations and prompt a retaliation from Iran on US assets in the region, the Post reported. Tehran's Warning Tehran has repeatedly warned that, as Israel's biggest military and political supporter, the United States would suffer consequences in the event of an Israeli strike on Iran. Iranian Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said on Wednesday that if Iran were subjected to strikes, it would retaliate by hitting US bases in the region. US Cautious Washington recently ordered all US embassies within striking distance of Iranian assets - including missions in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Northern Africa - to set up emergency action committees and send cables back home about measures to mitigate risks. The State Department has reportedly also authorised voluntary departures from Bahrain and Kuwait. That procedure led to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's decision on Wednesday to update the worldwide travel advisory to reflect the latest US posture. "On June 11, the Department of State ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel due to heightened regional tensions," the advisory said. The United States has a military presence across the major oil-producing region, with bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

US on High Alert as Israel plans to attack Iran's nuclear sites, Donald Trump asks Americans in Middle East to..., Netanyahu to...
After Iran-Iraq, Donald Trump now targets Hindus of this country…, to be expelled from… New Delhi: The United States has increased the security at its military bases in the Middle East as the nuclear talks with Iran appear to be heading toward failure. The Donald Trump administration has asked its officials to leave for Iraq, while allowing military families to evacuate from American bases. It is important to note that these steps come at a time when there is a rising fears of an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. US intelligence officials are concerned that Israel may act without American approval, potentially dragging the US into the conflict. Notably, if Netanyahu carries out attacks on Iran, Tehran could strike back by targeting bases in West Asia. Iran has warned that if there is an attack on its territory, it will hold the United States responsible. This has raised fears of a major conflict erupting across the region. All of this is happening at a time when nuclear talks are ongoing between Iran and the United States. The sixth round of discussions between the two sides is scheduled for Sunday in Oman, but it may be postponed. There are concerns that this meeting could go off track. Concerns Rise Following Reports of Possible Attack on Iran The United States intelligence officials have indicated the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran and a potential retaliatory response from Iran, according to a report by The Washington Post. Owing to the recent report, the U.S. State Department has ordered emergency meetings and security assessments at embassies located near Iranian targets. It is important to note that these embassies are situated in regions including West Asia, Eastern Europe, and North Africa. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has approved the return of non-essential embassy staff from Iraq. The U.S. Central Command is working closely with the State Department and allied partners to ensure readiness. A senior diplomat told The Washington Post, 'We are concerned. We believe this is a more serious situation than at any time in the past.' Threat to American Citizens in the Middle East US Senator Tom Cotton claimed in a post on X that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed Iran is actively working toward developing nuclear weapons. He stated that this cannot be allowed to happen for the sake of US national security, the safety of our allies, and the protection of millions of civilians in the region. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has also expressed doubts about reaching a nuclear deal with Iran.
