Iran has put its nuclear facilities on high alert in anticipation of a possible attack from Israel and the United States, the UK바카라s Telegraph reported on February 25.

The report states that Tehran has strengthened its air defense by deploying extra missile defense systems around crucial nuclear and missile sites.

They [Iranian authorities] are just waiting for the attack and are anticipating it every night and everything has been on high alert 바카라 even in sites that no one knows about,바카라 a source was quoted telling the news outlet, saying that concerns have heightened with rhetoric from new US President Donald Trump.

An official told the newspaper that there was an understanding in Tehran that Iran바카라s already-weakened air defenses 바카라may not be effective in the event of a large-scale strike.바카라

Nuclear Threat

Iran바카라s nuclear sites are also widely seen as more vulnerable with many of Tehran바카라s proxies weakened. In November, after over a year of rocket and drone attacks by Hezbollah, Israel decimated the Lebanon-based terror group바카라s leadership, fighters and weapons stores.

Days later, Sunni rebels took advantage of Israel바카라s successes and swept southward from Idlib, ending the Assad family바카라s half-century of rule in Syria and breaking the land bridge between Iran and Hezbollah.

Last year, Israel carried out a wave of retaliatory airstrikes on Iran after Tehran carried out a second missile attack on Israel.

Israeli jets targeted Iranian air defenses as well as its ballistic missile program, striking factories, storage sites, launchers and research facilities, and targeting one facility believed to be used for the regime바카라s pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Amid the threats, Iran on February 25 also vowed to resist US sanctions and said they will not compromise on the nuclear issue.

During a one-day trip to Iran, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed regional and bilateral topics with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, state media reported.

The visit comes a day after the United States imposed a fresh round of sanctions targeting Iran바카라s oil industry, the Islamic Republic바카라s main source of income.

Trump earlier this month restored his 바카라maximum pressure바카라 campaign on Iran that includes efforts to drive the country바카라s oil exports to zero, reimposing a tough policy on Iran that was practiced throughout his first term.

바카라Iran바카라s position regarding nuclear talks is clear and we will not negotiate under pressure and sanctions,바카라 Araqchi said during a televised joint press conference with Lavrov.
