Yeah I agree, there is some damage-control going on too, where Iran prob wants to portray the 'betrayals' coming from non-iranians more (Afghans, indians etc), They are prob people that didnt even know who they were working for, just easy/quick money for them.Indian nationals don't have to be operatives. They can just be regular workers hired for assembly and logistics work. Indian authorities absolutely have the ability to facilitate Indian workers to Iran, and through that, clandestinely put them to work on covert ops. I would wager most of the people that have been arrested had no idea they were working for Mossad.
GENEVA, June 20 (Reuters) - European foreign ministers met their Iranian counterpart on Friday hoping to test Tehran's readiness to negotiate a new nuclear deal despite there being scant prospect of Israel ceasing its attacks soon, diplomats said.
European ministers spoke in advance to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio who signalled the U.S. is open to direct talks even as it considers joining Israeli strikes intended to smash Tehran's nuclear capacity, the sources said.
The Trump administration is demanding Iran stop uranium enrichment altogether, whereas the E3 have in past talks left it some scope to enrich for civil ends in exchange for extremely strict international inspections.
On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron shifted closer to Trump's position, saying that any new deal with Tehran needed to go towards zero enrichment.
A senior Iranian official told Reuters Iran is ready to discuss limitations on its uranium enrichment but said the prospect of zero enrichment would undoubtedly be rejected, especially while Israel was attacking.
The main message Europeans will pass to Araqchi is that the U.S. has signalled readiness for direct talks, but that Iran must give a serious signal, two European diplomats said, without defining what the signal should be.
While diplomats did not expect a breakthrough in Geneva, they said it was vital to engage with Iran because once the war stopped the nuclear issue would remain unresolved given that Tehran would still retain the scientific know-how.
There are so many things one can do without going public, or without Iran even having to ask:I don't want to belittle the Iranian capability, BUT from the looks of things aside from 2 Chinese intelligence ship, the Chinese may have airlifted missile guidance like Beidou module and transmitter.
OR maybe advance EW
Recent claims suggest Chinese aircraft may have delivered electronic warfare (EW) systems to Iran. This is based on flight tracking images and social media posts, though official confirmation is lacking. that the main airline involved is Cargolux, which is not Chinese.
Several X-accounts (formerly Twitter) have been circulating images of flight tracking data purportedly showing Chinese cargo planes landing in Iran. These claims coincide with the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. While the specific nature of the cargo is not confirmed, the implication is that China is supplying Iran with EW technology.
It's important to note that these are unconfirmed claims, and the aircraft involved may be connected to other activities or simply be routine cargo flights. There's no official confirmation from China, Iran, or any other credible source about the delivery of EW systems.
China and Iran have a 25-year cooperation agreement, and China is a major importer of Iranian oil. This relationship could be a factor in the current situation, but it doesn't automatically confirm the delivery of EW systems.
Israel conducted a total of three air strikes yesterday in Iran. Their air campaign has really slowed down past few days.It’s better for people about the perspective regime change anyway, Iran government seems utterly incompetent. Without AD, all critical infrastructures are being destroyed.
