Tehran Insists on 'Enriched Nuclear'.. G7 Demands It Halt Attacks on Civilian Ships

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, stated that Tehran would not allow even a single grain of enriched nuclear material to leave the country. Rezaei affirmed that Tehran and Washington are not conducting any negotiations at present. He added that any new attacks by the United States would be met with strikes against distant U.S. bases.

In the same vein, the Iranian military said in a statement carried by official media that an oil tanker caught fire on Wednesday (October 25) in the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with a sea mine in a “restricted zone.”

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy reported that new data showed 37 ships were targeted by attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waterways in October, marking the highest monthly total since the war began, with 10 attacks recorded since the beginning of November.

Meanwhile, the Group of Seven (G7) called on Iran to halt its “continuous attacks” on civilian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. It pledged, “in the absence of a diplomatic solution,” to undertake coordinated efforts to curb Tehran’s ability to “fuel instability” in the region and worldwide, both economically and politically.

The United States accused three “Iranian agents” of planning a “terror campaign” involving nearly 20 attacks targeting Jewish communities in Europe and the United States, as well as the British military base, RAF Fairford. Meanwhile, Canada reimposed sanctions on 11 Iranian entities, alleging they contributed to Iran’s nuclear activities and ballistic missile program.
