The Middle East is on a knife-edge. In a move that has sent shockwaves from Washington to Israel, Iran has officially thrown down its "nuclear armour". Senior advisor Ali Shamkhani just declared a total ban on transferring Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile abroad, effectively killing a Russian-brokered deal before it even began. With 60&#37 enriched uranium sitting on Iranian soil, the "Nuclear Red Line" has been drawn. While the US and Israel demand the total removal of these materials, Tehran is signaling a different path; a conditional reduction to 20&#37 enrichment, but only if the West blinks first. WATCH 

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to Hamas, declaring that failure to disarm under the Gaza ceasefire framework could lead to their complete disappearance. Speaking in connection with the unveiling of the Gaza “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump positioned the initiative as a decisive step toward ending the long-running conflict. The Gaza Board of Peace was formally introduced with a focus on global peacekeeping, post-war governance and humanitarian stability. Trump confirmed that the framework aligns with the UN and is rooted in a plan adopted by the U.N. Security Council in October. The founding charter was signed in the presence of key members, with Trump describing his role as chairman as an “enormous honour”. WATCH
