After Israel and the US attacked Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran has still stocks of enriched uranium left, which is used to make nuclear weapons, sources close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told AFP, adding that the "game is not over".According to satellite images, Israeli intel suggested that Iran shifted near-weapons-grade fuel ahead of the US attack on its nuclear facilities.The US used bunker-buster bombs to hit Iranian nuclear facilities, saying that it attacked Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities.Iran may have moved 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, which is quite enough to produce up to ten nuclear bombs, according to a report by The New York Times.All this happened before the US deployed B-2 bombers into Iran's nuclear sites, US and Israeli officials said, according to NYT.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/b-2-bomber-or-a-flying-hotel-stealth-bombers-us-used-to-attack-iran-has-bunk-beds-noodles-candies-and-more-1750768557548">Also read: B-2 Bomber or a flying hotel?

As Israel-Iran engulfed in a full-blown war earlier this month, Israeli intelligence agents launched a covert intimidation campaign against Iranian generals, giving them a deadline to flee with their families, according to an audio recording obtained by The Washington Post.According to the report, the Israeli agents warned Iranian top officials that they had "12 hours" to flee with their families or get killed.It was all part of Israel's "Operation Rising Lion", which began on June 13 against Iran, attacking its nuclear facilities and top military officials and nuclear scientists."You have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you're on our list right now," an Israeli operative told a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general in one of at least 20 phone calls made to Iranian officials.The Israeli agents contacted more than 20 senior Iranian figures with similar threats."We're closer to you than your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May God protect you," the Israeli agent added.Reminding him of how they killed Hossein Salami, Mohammad Bagheri, and Ali Shamkhani, the operative said, “I’ll explain to you, listen carefully. I’m calling from a country that two hours ago sent Bagheri, Salami, and Shamkhani, one by one, to hell.”"Do you want to be one of them? Do you want to be the next one on the list? Do you also want to destroy your wife and child? No, right?" the operative said. The general reportedly responded, "So, what should I do?"He also instructed him to record a video denouncing Iran's regime and send it via Telegram, however, it is unclear whether they made the video or not."You have 12 hours to make a video saying we have walked away from this government, and we are unwilling to sacrifice our lives for people who destroyed our country for 46 years. They only killed, stole, took. They only cut the children of this country into pieces," the operative said."Look, we have everything on you. It seems you haven't understood. It's clear you don't even understand where you are right now. I'm telling you we hit all your leaders, (they) went into the air, we turned them into powder. I'm calling to give you a proposal to save your wife and child. You wretch are you confused?," he added.&nbsp;

'Europe going to pay in BIG way': NATO Chief Rutte lauds Trump for Israel-Iran ceasefire after 12-days of war

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he is not seeking regime change in Iran, days after appearing to suggest otherwise on social media.Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump downplayed the idea of removing Iran’s current leadership. “If there was, there was, but no, I don’t want it. I’d like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible,” he said. “Regime change takes chaos, and ideally we don’t want to see so much chaos,” he added.“You know, the Iranians are very good traders, very good business people, and they’ve got a lot of oil. They should be fine. They should be able to rebuild and do a good job. They’re never going to have nuclear but other than that, they should do a great job,” the US President said.<h2>But his Truth Social post said otherwise</h2>The president’s comments appeared to contradict a post he made earlier on Truth Social. “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a regime change??? MIGA!!!” he wrote.Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth have all said the US goal is not to remove Iran’s leadership, but to end its nuclear ambitions.“We don’t want to achieve regime change. We want to achieve the end of the Iranian nuclear programme,” Vance told ABC, according to Politico.<h2>What regime change in Iran would mean</h2>Regime change would involve removing the Islamic Republic’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, potentially leading to the collapse of the political system established after the 1979 revolution.The last time the US played a role in changing Iran’s leadership was in 1953, when the CIA backed a coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.
