'YOUTH, ATHLETES, ARTISTS...'
Iran is launching a social movement aimed at protecting its power plants. Ali Reza Rahimi, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, invited youth, athletes, artists, and the university community to gather around power plants in a video message broadcast on state television. Calling on participants to meet on Tuesday at 14:00, Rahimi stated: “These facilities are our national wealth and belong to the future of Iran. They must be protected regardless of political views.”
The Tehran administration has previously carried out such civil protection initiatives around nuclear facilities during periods of heightened tensions with the West. Now, a similar approach is being applied to power plants.
'DISAGREEMENTS STILL PERSIST'
While no progress has been made in direct negotiations with the US, traffic of contacts continues through mediator countries. An Iranian source speaking to CNN stated that Tehran is determined in its demand to end the war, but that it is not possible for this process to proceed according to the method and schedule determined by Trump. According to this source, Iran's official ceasefire response was delivered via Pakistan and is currently being evaluated at the government level.
It is stated that Iran's 10-point proposal in this initiative includes significant demands such as ending regional conflicts, ensuring safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz, lifting economic sanctions, and the post-war reconstruction process.
While there is curious anticipation regarding what decision US President Trump will make with only hours left before the deadline, statements reflected in some media outlets in Israel emphasized that American and Israeli targets in the region have not yet been fully achieved and that military pressure will continue.
Despite the efforts of mediators, serious disagreements between the two sides persist, while both military activity and diplomatic initiatives are increasing anxiety in the region.
