Rezaee said:

   "Iran's enriched material will be used in nuclear powered ships and 
submarines."


203 refuelers are stationed in bases in Europe. This is the same number 
as right before 40-day war began.


Bessent has joined Trampon in always being on the move so threat of his 
assassination would be low. Presently he is hiding inside a military 
base. He won't feel lonely in there I bet.


Protests in Spain. Largest in 15 years.


Rezaee one more time said:

   "emphasize that we are currently not engaged in any negotiations with 
the Americans, and there are no ongoing talks between Tehran and 
Washington."


Trampon says he wants to attack in 2 weeks.

Translation: "Why am I a Loser?"


Rezaee says if Americans attack Kuh Kolang Iran will attack their bases 
in Europe.
