"Some officials on the other side are threatening conflict if the negotiations don't yield results. If a conflict is imposed on us... all US bases are within our reach and we will boldly target these bases in host countries," Nasirzadeh said at a weekly press conference.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran if it does not reach a new nuclear deal. The next round of talks is expected to take place this week; Trump said the talks would be held on Thursday, while Tehran says they will take place in Oman on Sunday. Iran is expected to present a counter-offer to the nuclear deal proposal previously rejected by the US; Trump said on Tuesday that Iran had become "much more aggressive" in nuclear talks. Tehran and Washington are in conflict over uranium enrichment on Iranian soil, which Western powers see as a potential step toward developing nuclear weapons. Iran maintains that its nuclear program is entirely civilian. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on X platform on Wednesday, "As talks resume on Sunday, it is clear that an agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program is achievable and can be reached quickly." Another sticking point in the talks was Iran's missile program. Ballistic missiles make up a significant portion of Iran's arsenal. Nasirzadeh said Tehran recently tested a missile carrying a two-ton warhead and does not accept the limitations. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in February that Iran needs to further develop its military power, including its missiles.

Türkiye: Authorities must end unlawful proceedings against the Istanbul Bar Association 29 Jan 2025 | Advocacy, News istanbul-bar-e1736938363638 The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) expresses concern over the criminal proceedings initiated against the Istanbul Bar Association, including its President, İbrahim Kaboğlu, and members of its executive board. The ICJ further condemns the detention of Fırat Epözdemir, a member of the executive board, who was arrested upon his return from an advocacy visit to Council of Europe institutions. These actions constitute a direct attack on the independence of the legal profession and the rule of law in Türkiye. The criminal proceedings were initiated following a statement issued by the Istanbul Bar Association on 21 December 2024, which called for an independent investigation into the deaths of journalists Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin, who were killed in northern Syria on 19 December 2024. The statement highlighted concerns regarding the...

DONYA TURKISH NEWS / WORLD TURKISH NEWS: Canada IFJ - INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF JOURNALIST. I have been a freelance journalist for twenty-five years, writing articles and news, and I never use a press card. My goal is to write only the truth and facts. To let people know what they don't hear, to show them what they don't see. Now, fake diploma gangs have emerged in Turkey. They have given fake diplomas to thousands of people. Some are professors, some are judges, some are engineers. These events are making headlines on TV. I spent years struggling to study, and now diplomas are being sold for money, and those who receive them work for the government. Isn't this journalistic news? The AKP Chairman's diploma is also questionable. Aren't these newsworthy? Thirty-five years ago, Ekrem İmamoğlu's well-deserved diploma was revoked just so he wouldn't be a candidate. Will those who received it be subjected to the same...
