US President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, demanding the immediate elimination of its enriched uranium stockpile, which he referred to as 'nuclear dust'. He proposed two options for destruction: either Iran can hand over the stockpile to the US or destroy it on-site under supervision. In a related development, the US launched self-defensive strikes on Iranian missile launch sites near the Strait of Hormuz, citing threats to American forces, while still pursuing diplomatic negotiations with Tehran. Concurrently, Qatar has denied reports of offering Iran $12 billion to facilitate a nuclear deal, labeling these claims as false and damaging to its role as a mediator. In New Delhi, the foreign ministers of India, the US, Australia, and Japan are convening for the Quad summit, focusing on maritime security amidst rising tensions in West Asia. Additionally, a case of hantavirus has emerged in Spain, raising public health concerns, although officials maintain that the risk remains low.
