May 3 – The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that the US would be willing to see Tehran develop a civilian nuclear program as long as it imported uranium for the power.
Iran and the US have been locked in negotiations to hammer out a deal about Iran’s nuclear program, as part of a US policy which aims to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in exchange for sanctions relief.
Iran’s government has refused to import its uranium saying that it reserved the right to produce fuel for its nuclear plants.
Paraguay has designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, alongside full proscriptions for Lebanon’s armed Hezbollah group and Palestine’s proxy militia group Hamas.
Iran’s clerical regime is deemed by the West to be the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. The US has accused the IRGC, Iran’s most powerful intelligence, security and military unit of conducting acts of terror globally.
The IRGC has previously been proscribed by the US, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
And Iran’s government has executed a man accused of being an agent for Israel’s foreign intelligence service Mossad.
Mohsen Langarneshin was accused of being involved in several incidents, including the death of an IRGC colonel in 2022, according to the official media outlet for Iran’s judiciary.
The execution follows accusations by Iran that Israel has been trying to derail nuclear talks talks between Washington and Tehran.
