The nuclear deal with Iran is dead. Again. Sources confirm Donald Trump walked out of negotiations this morning, leaving European allies scrambling to salvage what remains of the tattered agreement.
The UK Foreign Office issued a stark warning: the Middle East is on the brink of a nuclear escalation. This isn't hyperbole. This is a countdown.
Uncovered documents from the IAEA show Iran has enriched uranium to 84% purity, inches away from weapons-grade material. The British government knows this. They've known for weeks.
The Prime Minister's office has been quietly briefing allies, but the public is only now seeing the smoke. Trump's departure from the talks was abrupt. He didn't shake hands.
He didn't offer platitudes. He simply left, leaving a vacuum that will be filled by centrifuges and missiles. The deal, brokered in 2015, was already on life support after Trump's withdrawal in 2018.
This time, there's no turning back. Iran's leaders have already restarted enrichment at Fordow, a facility buried deep inside a mountain. The UK's warning is not a diplomatic nicety.
It's a red alert. Defence sources say the Treasury is modelling economic shocks from a potential conflict. Oil prices are spiking.
The markets are jittery. And the men in suits are silent. They always are.
Until the bodies surface. The question now is not if Iran will get the bomb, but when. And whether the world will act before it's too late.
The deal is dead. Long live the crisis.
