    Two American officials told Reuters that the U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of conducting sustained operations lasting several weeks against Iran, should President Donald Trump order an attack. Reuters reported that this action could lead to a much more serious conflict than what has previously been seen between the two countries. According to the news agency, the disclosure of this information by these officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the planning, raises the stakes of the current negotiations between the United States and Iran.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in response to the question of what the Islamic Republic can do to prevent an attack, said: "Give us an agreement that they should have given us from the beginning. If they make the right agreement, we won't carry out that action (attack)."

    Before the 12-day war, Trump had given Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, a 60-day deadline for "complete surrender," and at the end of the sixtieth day, the attack took place. Just hours earlier, Trump also mentioned the deployment of a new aircraft carrier to the region, stating that we are sending this carrier to use it if we do not reach an agreement.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, spoke with reporters on Friday, February 12, while returning from the military base "Fort Bragg" at the airport. One of the reporters asked him, "Who would you like to see in power in Iran?" Trump replied that he did not want to talk about it but that "there are people."

    In another part of this conversation, Trump discussed regime change in Iran, saying: "Regime change in Iran could be the best thing that happens. They have been talking and talking and talking for 47 years. During this time, while they were talking, we lost many people; legs were amputated, arms were amputated, and faces were destroyed. This situation has been going on for a very long time, so let's see what happens."

    🔸 Maya Sato, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, expressed concern about the situation inside Iran in a report, stating that individuals in the country "may now face the death penalty simply for participating in protests." Ms. Sato noted on X that she has received "reports of forced confessions from protesters," writing: "Today, we do not know how many people have been arrested, where they are being held, or under what conditions; we do not know how many have been sentenced to death or have been executed so far."

    🔸 The human rights organization Hrana, based in the United States, reported in its latest update that the confirmed death toll from the recent protests in Iran has reached 7,005. According to this organization, of the deceased, 6,506 have been registered as "protesters," and the deaths of 219 children under 18 have also been documented. Additionally, 214 of the deceased were members of military/government forces. Hrana further added that the deaths of another 11,730 individuals are under investigation, and the total number of arrests has exceeded 53,000. Human rights organizations say the actual numbers could be significantly higher than these figures.

    🔸 Based on satellite images, Iran is strengthening a tunnel complex near the Natanz nuclear facility. These images show that construction activities are underway to reinforce the entrances of two tunnels at Kolang Gazla (or Kolang Mountain) in Isfahan province, near the Natanz nuclear site. Experts believe this underground complex near the Natanz nuclear site may be a fortified section of Iran's nuclear infrastructure established in recent years. A report from the Institute for Science and International Security states that this complex may be designed to protect enrichment activities, store enriched uranium, or safeguard key nuclear equipment, but the exact function of this complex and whether it is operational remains unclear.
    bbc.com

    🔸 Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, described the possibility of a new nuclear agreement with Iran as "possible," but "extremely difficult" on the sidelines of the Munich Conference. He stated: "We must accept that after the 12-day war, the entire nuclear landscape of Iran has fundamentally changed; perhaps not in terms of capabilities, but in terms of physical infrastructures that no longer exist, and this changes the entire equation." According to Mr. Grossi, "When it comes to any agreement, the question is what exists and what remains, but more importantly, what the future holds." He responded to the question of what kind of "nuclear Iran" might emerge from this situation: "This situation will no longer be like it was in May or June."

About 70 heads of state and over 140 ministers, including Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister, Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, and Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the UK, will be present in Munich. Russia, as in previous years, is not attending this meeting, and Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, lost the privilege of attending this gathering after the deadly crackdown on protests in January 2025. This annual conference is the most significant event in global politics for gathering politicians from around the world, providing an opportunity to discuss international politics in an informal setting, although the main focus of this event has been on transatlantic relations between European countries and the United States since its inception.

    The aircraft carrier "USS Gerald R. Ford" is being deployed to the Persian Gulf

    The New York Times, citing four American officials, reported that the aircraft carrier "USS Gerald R. Ford" and its accompanying escort ships will be sent to the Middle East and are not expected to return to their home ports until mid or late May.

    According to this media outlet, the crew of the Ford was informed of this deployment on Thursday, February 11.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, recently announced that he would send another ship to the region as part of increasing pressure on the Islamic Republic.

    The Ford left its home port in Norfolk, Virginia, on June 24. It was initially scheduled for a deployment in Europe but changed course to the Caribbean as part of maximum pressure on Caracas and remained in Venezuelan waters.

    Fighter jets stationed on the Ford participated in the January 3 attack on the capital of Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the former president of the country.

    According to the New York Times, sailors on the Ford expected to return home in about two weeks, but the new mission delays the previously scheduled return of the ship to the Virginia coast and the completion of essential upgrades and major repairs.

    Donald Trump, just hours before this news was published in the New York Times, shared a Wall Street Journal report about the Pentagon's readiness to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East on his social media platform, Truth Social reposted.

    Previously, the Wall Street Journal reported that as the U.S. military prepares for a possible attack on the Islamic Republic, the Pentagon has ordered a second U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to be ready for deployment to the Middle East.

    Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, announced that following a campaign of 100,000 people, the name of Abbas Iraqchi has been removed from the list of speakers for the Human Rights Council on February 23. Previously, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic was listed as a speaker for this session taking place in Geneva. Following the publication of this news, a wave of criticism against this action by the UN and the Human Rights Council emerged, with activists calling for Iraqchi's removal from the event. The Islamic Republic killed thousands during the national uprising of Iranians in January and injured and arrested thousands more.

    Trump: We need to reach an agreement very quickly over the next month, otherwise it will be very painful for them.

    Reporter: ...about these negotiations with Iran?

    Donald Trump: We need to reach an agreement; otherwise, it will be very damaging. Very damaging. I don’t want that to happen, but we need to reach an agreement. They should have reached an agreement the first time instead of getting that midnight hammer operation. We had a very good meeting with Bibi Netanyahu yesterday. And he understands, but ultimately it’s up to me. If the agreement is not a very fair and good one with Iran, then I think it will be a very tough time for them.

    Reporter: Do you have a timeline for those negotiations?
    Donald Trump: I guess over the next month. Something like that. Yes. It shouldn’t take long... I mean, it needs to happen quickly. They need to reach an agreement very quickly.

    Reporter: Why does Prime Minister Netanyahu want you to stop negotiating with Iran?
    Trump: I didn’t say that. We didn’t talk about that. I will talk to them as long as I want. And we’ll see if we can reach an agreement with them or not. And if we can’t, we have to go to phase 2. Phase 2 will be very tough for them. I’m not looking for that.

    Barak Ravid, a reporter for Axios, quoted Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, before leaving Washington, stating that he told Trump that any agreement with the Islamic Republic should not be limited to the nuclear issue and must also include its ballistic missiles and proxy forces in the region.
    Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, after meeting with Donald Trump, the President of the United States, regarding Iran, said: "Despite our doubts about the likelihood of reaching an agreement with Iran, I made it clear to President Trump that this agreement must include issues that are important to us."
    Netanyahu added: "President Trump believes that the Iranians now know who they are dealing with. He thinks the conditions he is creating can facilitate reaching a good agreement, especially with the reality that they certainly know they made a mistake the last time they did not reach an agreement."
    Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, on Wednesday in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, accused Israel of trying to sabotage negotiations with the United States to ignite a new war in the region.

    Wall Street Journal: Washington's Covert Operation to Equip Iranian Protesters with 6,000 Starlink Terminals

    Wall Street Journal has revealed in an exclusive report that the Trump administration secretly smuggled approximately 6,000 Starlink terminals into Iran following the bloody crackdown on protests last month. This is the first time the United States has directly sent Starlink equipment to Iran to assist dissenters in bypassing censorship and internet shutdowns. According to U.S. officials, this decision was made after senior Trump administration officials diverted part of the budget from "Internet Freedom" programs to purchase these satellite terminals.

    According to details from the report, the U.S. State Department had purchased nearly 7,000 Starlink terminals in recent months, with a significant portion supplied in January. Donald Trump was aware of the shipment process and had previously discussed ensuring Iranian protesters' access to satellite internet in a call with Elon Musk in January.

    The Wall Street Journal report indicates that the focus on Starlink has created a rift in Washington's support policies. Due to budget allocation to Starlink, financial support for popular VPNs like "Psiphon" has significantly decreased, putting the company in serious difficulty to cover operational costs.

    The Wall Street Journal reported that earlier, Mura Namdar, a senior official at the U.S. State Department, emphasized in a memo to Marco Rubio that VPNs are ineffective during a complete internet shutdown, and Starlink is the only remaining option.

    🔸Hakan Fidan, Turkey's Foreign Minister, stated that the U.S. and the Islamic Republic are showing flexibility in reaching a nuclear agreement. He mentioned that the Islamic Republic understands it must reach an agreement with the Americans, and Washington seems "ready" to tolerate a level of uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. Fidan told the Financial Times, "It is positive that the Americans are apparently ready to tolerate Iran's enrichment within defined limits." He warned that including missile programs and proxy forces in the negotiations could be problematic: "If the U.S. insists on addressing all issues simultaneously, I fear that even the nuclear case may not progress... The result could be another war in the region."
