🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Iran has mined the entrances to underground storage facilities for enriched uranium and partially blocked access to its nuclear reserves, according to CNN, citing sources.

According to the TV channel, in recent weeks, the country's authorities have strengthened the protection of facilities by destroying part of the tunnels and installing booby traps. We are talking about about half a ton of almost weapons-grade uranium, a significant part of which is believed to be in the collapsed tunnels of the nuclear complex in Isfahan.

Experts note that such measures could complicate the implementation of a possible agreement between the US and Iran, if it provides for the transfer or destruction of uranium reserves. Access to the materials may require heavy equipment, demining, and the involvement of nuclear specialists.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — "Trump set us up." In Israel, the upcoming agreement between the US and Iran has been harshly criticized. And they believe it will not be long-lasting.

As the Israeli publication Ynet reports, high-ranking Israeli sources believe that the future deal harms Israel's interests and does not eliminate key threats related to Iran's nuclear and missile programs.

"Our voice is not being heard. This is a bad agreement. No one is happy with it. Everyone understands that it's bad for us and damages Israeli interests," said one of the interviewees of the publication.

Another source was even more blunt: "Trump set us up."

Another Israeli official told Ynet that the agreement is perceived in the region as a result of pressure from Iran and concessions from the US. According to him, in the short term, such a deal will be considered a failure.

Israeli sources also doubt the longevity of the agreement and believe that the main criterion of its success will be the actual removal and destruction of Iran's enriched uranium reserves. If this does not happen, concerns about the deal will only intensify.

🇰🇵⚡️ — North Korea has announced that it no longer intends to discuss its nuclear status with anyone, which is irreversible. Pyongyang has no intention of conducting any negotiations on this topic.

On the contrary, under the orders of Kim Jong Un, North Korea is increasing its capacity to produce nuclear materials for the production of even more nuclear warheads. The task is to double North Korea's nuclear arsenal. In parallel, work is underway to improve delivery systems, including the development of a line of ICBMs, in order to be able to strike targets on US territory.
