‼️ US-Iran Talks Collapse Over Scope of Negotiations: Nuclear talks planned for Friday were canceled after Iran refused to expand discussions beyond the nuclear issue. US officials rejected Iran’s request to change the location and format of the talks, including moving them from Istanbul to Muscat and excluding ballistic missiles and proxy network issues.



A senior US official told Axios: "We told them 'it is this or nothing', and they said, 'Ok, then nothing'." The official added: "If the Iranians are willing to go back to the original format, the U.S. is ready to meet this week or next week. We want to reach a real deal quickly or people will look at other options".

Senior US officials told Israeli Channel 12 that the talks were canceled due to Iran’s refusal to discuss non-nuclear issues.

Iranian officials reiterated that they will only negotiate the nuclear file. A senior Iranian official told Reuters: "Talks with the US in Oman will focus only on the nuclear issue — the missile program is not on the table". An Iranian official told Reuters: "The American insistence on discussing non-nuclear issues puts the talks at risk. Tehran is fully prepared to hold talks with Washington solely on the nuclear issue".

Iranian sources told Al-Araby that mediators are making efforts to resolve the situation and that contacts are still ongoing. An Iranian source told al-Mayadeen: "The US-Iran talks collapsed – it's a gap that cannot be bridged," adding, "We will not allow the raising of demands outside the framework of the nuclear issue in negotiations with Washington. Iran is still ready to negotiate. Iran is more prepared militarily than diplomatically, and its finger is on the trigger".

🚨 President Trump Issues Direct Warnings to Iran: President Trump said: "[Iranian Supreme Leader] Khamenei should be worried". He also said: "I heard that Iran is trying to restart its nuclear program, and we will send fighter jets again if they do that".

President Trump added: "We discovered that the Iranians were planning to build a new nuclear site in another area. We found out about it. I said, 'If you do that, we're going to do very bad things to you'".

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: "For talks to lead to something significant, they must also address Iran's ballistic missile program". Rubio added: "I'm not sure if we'll be able to reach an agreement with the Iranians".

US officials told Reuters: "President Trump is now leaning towards military action in Iran".

⚠️ Israel Signals Readiness to Strike Iranian Strategic Programs: After the collapse of talks, Israeli officials estimate a high chance of a US attack on Iran. Arab mediators tried this evening to persuade Iran to agree to discuss additional issues, but Iranian officials had already told them yesterday that they are only ready to discuss the nuclear issue.

Israeli assessments state that Israel will attack Iran’s ballistic missile program at the first operational opportunity. Israeli assessments also state that Israel intends to target every component of Iran’s nuclear project, with expectations that the IDF will strike sooner or later.

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

  The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran.
