Iranian journalist Mehdi Latifi has dropped a truth bomb 💣 on recent U.S. military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, calling the move a 'closure of the door to diplomacy' in an exclusive interview with CGTN. With tensions soaring, here's why this clash could reshape Middle East geopolitics.
Latifi, a seasoned analyst with 15+ years covering Iran's nuclear program, revealed the strikes hit three sites during active negotiations with European nations. 'The U.S. chose missiles over mediation,' he said, adding that while damage was minimal due to evacuations, Iran's military response could put American bases 'in very difficult conditions.' 🎯
The journalist didn't hold back on Israel's role either: 'This attack was dictated by Israel to the U.S.,' he claimed, echoing growing concerns about foreign policy influences. 🔍 The strikes also violated international laws governing nuclear sites, according to Latifi, who warned trust in diplomacy has evaporated faster than a TikTok trend.
Referencing the failed JCPOA deal, Latifi noted Iranians already viewed U.S. diplomacy with Netflix-level skepticism 📉: 'The window for genuine talks is nearly closed.' Yet he urged global thinkers to hold nations accountable, asking: 'Where do bombs fit in the diplomacy playbook?'
