Negotiations between the United States and Iran are ongoing, aiming for a peace deal amidst rising tensions. Reports indicate that Tehran is planning a surprise missile and drone attack on Israel and Gulf nations, as discussed in a security assessment involving Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and military officials. The backdrop of these discussions includes Iran's nuclear program, with Tehran reportedly possessing uranium enriched to about 60%, which is close to the 90% needed for weapons-grade material. U.S. President Donald Trump has emphasized that the U.S. will not permit Iran to retain such enriched uranium, stating, 'We will get it... but we’re not going to let them have it.' The conflict in West Asia intensified on February 28, when the U.S.-Israel alliance conducted joint strikes against Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate by targeting Gulf nations and blocking the vital Strait of Hormuz, which is critical for global energy trade. This blockade has led to significant market shocks and rising fuel prices, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.
