    Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, criticized the Munich Security Conference in a message on X, describing it as the "Munich Circus."

    He wrote that it is regrettable that the Munich Security Conference, which is usually considered a serious event, has turned into a superficial display regarding Iran, where appearances are prioritized over substance.

    The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic further criticized Europe, stating that the European Union is confused, and according to him, this confusion stems from its inability to understand the developments inside Iran. Araghchi added that the European Union has lost its geopolitical weight in the region and has been sidelined.

    He also claimed that regarding the nuclear negotiations, Europe, which was once one of the main parties in the discussions, now has no role in the current developments, while regional countries are acting more effectively than the European Troika.

    In another part of his remarks, Araghchi described the overall trajectory of Europe as "worrisome," stating that what is seen today is, according to him, the paralysis and irrelevance of the European Union in developments related to Iran's nuclear file.

    🔸Prince Reza Pahlavi stated on Saturday, February 25, during the Munich Security Conference that the goal should not be to "reform" the Islamic Republic, but rather to "eliminate" it. In a press conference, he announced that he is not seeking the throne for the post-Islamic Republic era and emphasized that he has a clear plan for transitioning to democracy based on four principles: Iran's territorial integrity, individual freedoms, equality of citizens, and the separation of religion from government. According to him, his team has planned for the first 100 days after the collapse of the regime to maintain stability and public services, and the process of drafting a constitution will be conducted under international supervision. He stressed that a free and democratic Iran can live in peace with its neighbors and become the engine of regional economic growth. He also called on all European countries in his speech before the press conference to prepare to support a "democratic Iran." He emphasized that "the time has come to end the Islamic Republic."

The people of Iran are making history, and this is the most magnificent moment in Iran's history." He emphasized: "Help is on the way; make Iran great again with the choice of the people, not the Ayatollahs."

Mr. Rubio said on Thursday at the Munich Security Conference to Politico: "If the Ayatollah says tomorrow that he wants to meet with Trump, Trump will meet with him." He immediately added: "Not because he agrees with the Ayatollah, but because he believes that this is how world issues can be resolved." The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized that Mr. Trump does not consider meeting with an individual as "giving in."

    🔸Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Friday in a speech to U.S. military forces said that reaching an agreement with Iran in nuclear negotiations is "difficult" and noted that instilling fear in Iranian officials may be necessary to resolve this deadlock peacefully. In this speech at the U.S. Army base in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, he referred to the increased presence of the U.S. military fleet in the Middle East, saying: "Reaching an agreement with them (Iran) has been difficult... sometimes you have to create fear. That is the only thing that will really resolve the situation." Mr. Trump also referred to U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in July of this year and said that a large U.S. aircraft carrier has been stationed in the region for this purpose, ready to act if negotiations fail. The U.S. President earlier mentioned that the reason for the movement of the second U.S. aircraft carrier towards the Middle East was the "potential need" of the United States for it if an agreement with Iran is not reached. He added: "But if an agreement is reached, that carrier will leave the region very soon." Trump added: "Right now, we have one aircraft carrier in the Middle East that has just arrived. If we need it, this carrier is ready as a very large force."

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.
