DEFCON Warning System said:
Can you forward me Iran's response. I'd like to see it and put it in next week's report.

No formal "response" yet. But the FM spoke today:

“If the United States was truly capable of bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, it wouldn’t have seen a need to enter negotiations," Iran's foreign minister said.
“Preventing us from enriching uranium in Iran is a red line — and this is a reality recognized by all countries,"
“We won't ask for anyone's permission for continued enrichment."
“The written proposal we received from the US has a lot of ambiguities." Iran's foreign minister said.
“We will give our suitable response in the coming days based on our principles & the interests of Iranian people."
“The continuation of enrichment in Iran's soil is our red line."

Araghchi said it is perfectly clear that negotiations under the current circumstances are not from an equal position and resemble a negotiation of surrender.

It's falling apart.
 
Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, referring to Khamenei's remarks on Wednesday, said: “With firm faith, revolutionary spirit, and heartfelt belief, we will continue the path of progress of the nuclear industry with strength and steadfastness."

Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, categorically rejected the US plan for a nuclear deal and said that our response to America's "nonsense" is clear: “They can do no wrong."

In another part of his speech, Khamenei added: "Our enemies have set their sights on uranium enrichment. A nuclear industry of this magnitude is useless without the ability to enrich."
 
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: THESE ACTIVITIES TOOK PLACE 20 YEARS AGO

The recent special International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iranian nuclear violations added many points, one being that Iran carried out multiple implosion tests, a key military skill necessary for developing the atomic bomb.Implosion tests do not have civilian nuclear uses.

Notably, though much of the report refers to Iranian military activities from 20 years ago, Tehran’s careful record-keeping means that any progress that the Islamic Republic made back then could be used to help with a more sudden, rapid push for a breakthrough to a nuclear weapon in 2025.

The fact that it carried out various explosive tests also suggests that Iran is further along in other skills needed for developing a nuclear bomb, besides just enriching uranium, than many observers may have thought.

IAEA Director Rafael Grossi told the Times this as a new confidential IAEA report said that the Islamic Republic had dramatically increased its uranium stockpile enrichment "close to weapons grade."

“Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon at this moment, but it has the material,” he told the Times. He also claimed that Israel's threats against the Islamic Republic imply that "the Iranian thing has incredible potential to become catastrophic. If there is a failure in negotiation, this will imply, most probably, military action.”

  • On Lavisan-Shian, the IAEA states that in 2003, on at least two occasions, “natural uranium was drilled, processed and used” for the production of EDNS. It adds that EDNS produced at Lavisan Shian were “designed for testing” and that they were “integrated into scaled implosion-systems and explosively tested.” Some of these tests happened in a high explosive chamber at Parchin, a site not discussed in the IAEA report but discussed in earlier ones.
  • The IAEA assesses that the uranium metal used for the production of EDNS was part of approximately 10 kilograms (kg) of undeclared uranium metal produced in conversion experiments at JHL. The IAEA cannot determine whether the same uranium remains unaccounted for, whether it was “consumed,” e.g., used in other activities, or whether it was mixed in with declared material. Thus, a certain amount of uranium stemming from JHL work and previously falsely declared by Iran as having been transferred to the uranium conversion facility at Esfahan remains missing.
  • The report states that there are indications that neutron detectors and housing for neutron detectors were developed and tested at Lavisan-Shian, and that in 2003, “identical housing for neutron detectors was deployed in an explosive test at Marivan.” (See Annex for an image of this housing at the Marivan test site.)

Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran

Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with material not declared to the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the confidential report said.

According to Haaretz, during last night’s phone call, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested that U.S. President Donald J. Trump put an end to the ongoing nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, allowing Israel to take “necessary military action” against nuclear sites inside Iran. In response, President Trump is said to have told Netanyahu he would not be giving Israel the green light to strike Iranian nuclear facilities “in the near future” and asked that he stop publicly discussing the possibility of a military strike against Iran.

1. UK Maritime Trade issued a rare warning about rising tensions in the Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman, citing potential military escalation that could directly affect shipping.

2. The US Embassy in Iraq is prepping for an ordered evacuation due to security threats.

3. The State Department is pulling nonessential staff and families from Bahrain and Kuwait.

4. U.S. military dependents in Bahrain have been cleared for temporary departure.

None of these moves came from Fleet Forces Command, meaning this likely came from the top, possibly the White House. Something serious is unfolding

Some interesting movements this week on #Iran:(1) President Trump hosts a Camp David meeting on Iran with military leaders present.(2) After, President Trump speaks with Israel's prime minister, who convenes a security cabinet session afterwards.(3) UKMTO issues a maritime warning of increased tensions for Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman.
