Trump is considering renaming the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf, sparking united outrage from Iranians that "goes beyond politics."

Trump said on Thursday that the United States was getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran, and Tehran had "sort of" agreed to the terms.

The award, according to WANA, was also given to Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, former Members of the European Parliament.

The delivery of the Fath-360 launchers - if it occurs - would help support Russia's grinding assault on its neighbor and reaffirm the deepening security ties between Moscow and Tehran.

The blast involved ammunition storage facilities that were located in underground tunnels in southern Iran. 

A Washington Post report pointed to a violent chemical reaction as the likely cause of the explosion at the Iranian port that killed at least 70 people.

Marco Rubio said Iran must stop enrichment, missile development, and terrorism support, and allow US inspectors. Nuclear talks were postponed amid major US-Iran disagreements.

Huge projects were stymied early by corruption, sanctions and money problems, and the plans went spectacularly wrong with the fall of Assad.

While Tehran could use the disaster to gain international sympathy, it also means that the Islamic Republic must investigate its own failings, which could reveal weaknesses.

In 2021, a large cyber attack on Iranian petrol stations was said by Tehran to likely be caused by Israel.
