Nuclear Talks, Terror Tags & Rising Unrest: What’s Happening

Hello Readers,

Did you hear?

Trump wants talks with Iran!

President Donald Trump prioritizes diplomatic engagement with Iran over military action to address its nuclear ambitions and missile threats. Advocating "peace through strength," he expresses confidence that Tehran desires direct talks without intermediaries, aiming for a comprehensive deal. Despite considerations of coercive measures to spur protests, Trump urges Iran to negotiate fairly and abandon aggression. His administration signals openness to reciprocity, blending firmness with dialogue to avert regional war and secure lasting stability. What was Iran’s response?

Khamenei has warned the US of a regional war!

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issued a stark warning, stating that any US military attack on Iran would unleash a catastrophic regional war engulfing the Middle East. He accused America of greedily eyeing Iran's vast oil and gas reserves, branding human rights concerns as a hypocritical smokescreen for invasion. In his defiant address, Khamenei vowed that Iran and its steadfast allies would deliver a crushing, unified retaliation against such aggression. He emphasized Iran's unyielding resolve to defend its sovereignty at all costs. What else?

The EU has declared the IRGC a terrorist organization!

The European Union unanimously designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, aligning it with groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. This move targets the IRGC's violent suppression of uprisings in Iran and its global terrorism sponsorship. It imposes asset freezes, travel bans on members, and bans on funding to dismantle its financial networks and European influence. Iran retaliated by labeling EU armies as terrorist entities. NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi praised it as a key blow to Tehran's repression. What was Iran’s response?

Iran has declared the EU armies as terrorist organizations!

Iran's parliament, under Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, invoked Article 7 of the 2019 countermeasures law to declare all European Union armies as "terrorist groups." This bold decision directly counters the EU's recent classification of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity. During the parliamentary session, lawmakers donned IRGC uniforms and chanted anti-Western slogans, underscoring national solidarity. The move formalizes Tehran's retaliation, heightening diplomatic friction without immediate legal enforcement abroad. What else?

Iran wants an independent inquiry into the death toll of latest protests!

Iran has urged an impartial international probe into fatalities from its ongoing protests, fueled by economic hardship and repressive measures. Officials maintain security responses were restrained amid alleged foreign agitation, contesting human rights claims of exceeding 500 deaths since October 2025. Tehran dismisses amplified Western casualty figures as destabilizing fabrications, as demonstrators press for verifiable accountability. What about Iran’s relations with India?

India has allocated no funds for the Chhabahar Port project in the Budget!!

India's Union Budget made no allocations for the Chabahar port project, slashing funding to zero despite prior commitments. This decision stems from escalating US sanctions on Iran under the Trump administration, prompting India to minimize exposure by withdrawing officials from India Ports Global Limited. Previously budgeted amounts were revised upward amid waiver uncertainties. Critics like P. Chidambaram cite external pressure, while the government reprioritizes neighbourhood aid to Bhutan and Nepal, seeking a diplomatic middle path with the US amid war tensions in West Asia.

Speaking of war, did you know Data Analytics can be used for war!!?

That’s right. National Security advisors can use Data Analytics to make critical wartime decisions that can change the tide of the war. Some examples are:-

• Predict enemy movement (like the US did in the Iraq war)
• Triangulate terrorist hideouts (using social media and internet usage data)
• Identifying enemy weapon caches and strongholds (by analyzing satellite imagery and geographic data)
• For cyberwarfare (to carry out/defend against cyber attacks)
• To optimize logistics (to ensure supplies and equipment reach ASAP!)
• To identify possible threats (by analyzing data from communications and shady financial transactions)

Interestingly, war is not the only field where Data Analytics is growing. With technology being applied to every aspect of our lives, companies are gathering an unprecedented amount of data every day! A recent estimate suggested that around 402.74 million TB data is generated every day!!
