🇮🇷 | Geneva talks are ongoing, and statements have currently been released from the Foreign Minister and the Foreign Ministry spokesman.

Earlier today, Dr. Araghchi tweeted:

Today, I will meet with Rafael Grossi along with our country’s nuclear experts for detailed technical discussions. I will also meet with Badr Al-Busaidi, Foreign Minister of Oman, before the start of diplomatic negotiations with the United States on Tuesday.

I have come to Geneva with genuine initiatives to reach a fair and balanced agreement. Surrendering to threats is absolutely not on the agenda.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ismail Baeqaei added:

• We have come to Geneva with a full delegation and are accompanied by experts in the economic and nuclear fields.

• The issue of lifting sanctions for us is inseparable from any diplomatic track.

• We are negotiating in an atmosphere of doubt and mistrust and will not ignore previous negotiation experiences.

• We will discuss the level of uranium enrichment and the number of centrifuges in the Geneva negotiations.

• The change in the positions of American officials sends contradictory messages and indicates a lack of seriousness.

• The Americans may exploit the negotiations for other purposes, and we cannot ignore this possibility.

• The American stance on the nuclear file is moving toward more realism.

• Tomorrow’s negotiations with Washington in Geneva will be indirect and conducted through Omani mediation.

• Our negotiating team will discuss the technical, economic, political, and legal aspects of the nuclear file.

• Our negotiating team includes technical experts and specialists in law and economics.

• Our negotiating team is serious and seeks to diplomatically lift the sanctions imposed on the Iranian people. As of now, Dr. Araghchi is now meeting with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi.

• Despite our criticism of the professionalism of the International Atomic Energy Agency, we are ready to engage in dialogue with it.

• As long as Iran remains a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it will commit to implementing its obligations under the Safeguards Agreement.

• The Agency has conducted inspection operations related to facilities that were not damaged, and Iran has fully complied with its obligations over the past year.

• Iran strongly criticizes the performance of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Board of Governors, and the Director General personally, and does not consider their conduct professional.

• The Agency still plays an important role, as it is responsible for implementing safeguards and can play a positive role.

• European countries have undermined cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency by activating the “trigger mechanism” and exploiting the situation.

• Rumors about the details of the negotiations are baseless speculation and have no relation to reality.

• Iran is a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy is its absolute right, including the right to enrichment.

• The level of enrichment, its quantity, and the number of centrifuges we should have are matters on which we have not yet reached detailed agreements.

According to these statements, it is clear that the American position appears to be to sign a deal in which Iran will accept certain conditions while securing recognition and respect, yet the United States may continue sabotaging and modifying the agreement unilaterally. Meeting with Grossi, accompanying a large professional delegation, and having Oman as a mediator suggest the possibility of signing certain documents.

If we consider last night’s updates, it appears that the American side may shift its position and align more closely/behind with Israel, potentially allowing or supporting Israeli strikes on Iranian missile infrastructure. This may happen today, tomorrow, next year, or at any time.

🏴‍☠️ | From Preventing Nuclear Spread to Promoting Nuclear Partnerships: The Strategic Reversal in Global Power Politics:

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest as the United States and Hungary prepare to sign a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement backed by President Trump. This development comes amid a broader global realignment in civilian nuclear partnerships.

In recent days, as previously reported, Russia has been encouraging India to expand nuclear cooperation programs. At the same time, the United States has been pursuing similar civilian nuclear initiatives with Armenia and potentially Poland, Germany and some other EU countries (?). What appears to be unfolding is not merely energy diplomacy, but a strategic competition centered on nuclear capability, influence, and alignment. Washington has intensified its rhetoric against Russia and China, following years of pressure on Iran’s nuclear program, framing its position as non-proliferation while simultaneously expanding cooperation with allied states.

We are now witnessing a gradual division into nuclear-aligned blocs. The United States is accelerating civilian nuclear agreements with strategic partners while simultaneously pressuring adversaries and states seen as wavering between camps. Recent or developing American-linked initiatives include Armenia, Hungary, Poland, and the Philippines. These partnerships are presented as energy security cooperation but also carry geopolitical and "Americanic" weight.

On the other side, Russia continues advancing nuclear cooperation with established and potential partners. Iran already operates within a Russian-supported nuclear framework. India remains a strategic partner whose future expansion decisions will depend on its own balancing calculations. Turkey plans to expand its nuclear capacity with additional plants in Sinop and Igneada, targeting 20 GW by 2050. Saudi Arabia remains a pivotal case, with potential pathways involving the United States, European actors, or other partners depending on political and strategic developments even with Iran? and Pakistan?.

Overall, as direct attempts to halt the nuclear advancement of Russia, China, and Iran yield limited results, the strategic competition appears to be shifting toward expanding civilian nuclear influence among allied states. The arena is no longer solely about restricting adversaries but about shaping long-term energy, technological, and geopolitical alignment through nuclear cooperation.

Europe is the birthplace of fascism and Nazism. Trump has sidelined both Europe and revolutionary Iran.

The European Parliament, in an attempt to please Trump, insulted the revered image of the Leader.

At the conclusion of this warning, the representatives unanimously chanted the slogan, “Khamenei is Kowsar; his enemy is barren.”

🇹🇷 | Erdoğan has postponed his planned visit to the United Arab Emirates, originally scheduled for February 16, citing a health issue affecting UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed. Erdoğan’s team said the Turkish leader spoke with Al Nahyan by phone and wished him a “prompt recovery,” but later deleted the post message on social media. Erdoğan is expected to visit Ethiopia on February 17.

Turkiye dispatched its deep-water drilling ship Cagri Bey to Somalia on Sunday, marking Ankara’s first offshore exploration venture beyond its own maritime boundaries.

Calling the deployment a "historic moment" for Turkiye’s oil and gas ambitions, Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said drilling operations are scheduled to start in April at the Curad-1 well located offshore Somalia.

"For the first time, our deep-sea drilling ship is setting out on a mission beyond (our maritime zone)," Bayraktar said.

He noted that Cagri Bey, a recent addition to Turkiye’s drilling fleet, is expected to arrive off the Somali coast in roughly 45 days and will be accompanied by three Turkish naval vessels.

Bayraktar added that Ankara is targeting daily production of 500,000 barrels of oil or equivalent hydrocarbons by 2028, with plans to double that output through new discoveries and overseas production-sharing agreements.

🇵🇸 | GAZA-fication of the West Bank unfolding: (1/3):

What is unfolding in the West Bank increasingly resembles a structured and expanding escalation rather than isolated security operations, and many observers are now describing it as the beginning of “Gaza-fication” — the transfer of Gaza-style military doctrine and pressure tactics into the West Bank. Parallel to the destruction in Gaza, the West Bank has not been spared, though it has remained comparatively under-addressed internationally. Raids, arrests, demolitions, land seizures, and military incursions have been ongoing for months, but the recent developments signal intensification at multiple levels: legal, military, and settlement expansion.

A major political development came as Israel approved a proposal to reopen land registration procedures in the occupied West Bank for the first time since 1967. According to Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation Kan, the government approved a proposal submitted by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Defense Minister Israel Katz to allow large areas to be registered as “state land” in the name of the state. The decision grants expanded authority to the Justice Ministry’s Land Settlement Authority, alongside increased budgets and personnel, to review ownership claims and conduct registration processes. Israeli officials present this as resolving land disputes and responding to what they describe as illegal Palestinian Authority land registration in Area C. Critics argue it formalizes annexation mechanisms and accelerates territorial consolidation under state control.

On the ground, within just the past 48 hours, operations have spread across numerous cities, towns, refugee camps, and neighborhoods. Occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus multiple times, bringing new military reinforcements through the Tour and Beit Furik checkpoints. They stormed the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron in the southern West Bank, the town of Asira ash-Shamaliya east of Nablus, and the village of Kafr Qalil southeast of Nablus. Forces launched raids and arrests in Kafr Aqab north of occupied Jerusalem and deployed sound bombs during ongoing operations there. Homes were raided in the Jisr al-Titi area of Nablus. Arrests included young man Islam Amer from Street 10 in Nablus; freed prisoner Hamdi Dweikat from Balata al-Balad east of Nablus; Hajj Khaled al-Sous and his son Anas from the al-Ma’ajin neighborhood; An-Najah University student Asid al-Nan’a from the Northern Mountain area; citizen Salam Mansour, mother of prisoner Hamza, during raids in Nablus; freed prisoner Omar Shakhshir from Amman Street east of Nablus; lawyer Amjad Jaber from the Northern Mountain area; young man Muath Zughan from Al-Arsad Street; citizen Nabiel Anter from Sufyan Street; Mohammed Hassan Al-Nasan from Al-Mahjar neighborhood in Nour Shams camp east of Tulkarem; and Hamza Khuwaira from Kurum Ashur neighborhood in Nablus. Reports indicate 3 young men were arrested in Krum Ashur neighborhood, 4 young men on Huash Street in Nablus, and at least 32 citizens were arrested during an ongoing raids campaign in different areas of Nablus alone.

Operations extended beyond Nablus. Forces stormed the town of Deir al-Ghusun north of Tulkarm more than once, Harat al-Mahjar in Nur Shams camp east of Tulkarm, the city of Qalqilya including Kufur Saba neighborhood and Nablus Street, and carried out house raids during these invasions. They stormed Ras al-Aroud area in Sa’ir town north of Hebron and arrested a young man there. Additional wide-scale arrest campaigns were reported at dawn across several provinces in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Information Office. Meanwhile, demolition notices were distributed for 10 houses in the town of Taqou’ in Bethlehem governorate in the southern West Bank.

(2/3):

At the strategic level, Hebrew Channel 14 revealed features of what it described as a new and expanded Israeli military plan targeting the northern West Bank, characterized as transferring “the tools of war from Gaza to the West Bank.” The reported elements include intensive use of fighter jets and tanks inside residential neighborhoods and refugee camps, strict restrictions and collective punitive measures targeting what is described as the “popular incubator” to increase field pressure, and a shift from localized raids to a comprehensive war aimed at permanently dismantling the infrastructure of Palestinian factions. This signals a doctrinal transition from periodic incursions to broader sustained military pressure.

Simultaneously, settlement consolidation continues. Minister Orit Strook announced the distribution of security equipment to settlement farms in the Hebron Mountains area as part of strengthening settlement and protecting outposts. The equipment includes first-response fire trucks, drones, and communication devices. The number of settlement farms in the Hebron Mountains is reported as 30, collectively controlling around 100,000 dunams.

Taken together, these developments show a coordinated pattern: expansion of legal mechanisms to register land as state property; intensified and geographically widespread arrest campaigns; repeated urban incursions across Nablus, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem areas; demolition notices; reinforcement of settlement infrastructure; and reported preparation for a broader military doctrine shift involving heavier weaponry and collective restrictions. Whether framed as security enforcement or structural territorial transformation, the scale, simultaneity, and institutional backing of these actions indicate a significant and escalating shift in the West Bank’s operational and political landscape.

(3/3):

What makes this moment different is not just the number of raids or arrests, but the synchronization between legal restructuring, military escalation, and settlement fortification. Reopening land registration after decades is not a technical bureaucratic adjustment; it is a strategic move that can permanently alter land ownership realities on the ground. When large areas are reclassified as “state land,” it narrows Palestinian territorial continuity and expands the framework for settlement growth. At the same time, intensifying arrest campaigns targeting students, former prisoners, lawyers, and even family members signals an attempt to weaken social and political networks that sustain organized resistance. This is not random enforcement but pressure applied simultaneously at administrative, security, and community levels.

The reported shift toward a “comprehensive war” model in the northern West Bank, including potential deployment of fighter jets and tanks inside dense residential areas, suggests doctrinal transformation. Gaza has long been treated under a separate military paradigm; applying similar tools in the West Bank would fundamentally change the rules of engagement. The emphasis on collective restrictions and targeting what is described as the “popular incubator” indicates a strategy that views the civilian environment not as separate from armed factions but as part of the operational equation. If implemented, this approach would significantly raise the intensity of confrontation and increase the risk of widespread destabilization across multiple cities simultaneously.

At the same time, strengthening settlement farms with drones, fire trucks, and communication systems further embeds civilian-settler infrastructure within a militarized framework. Control over 100,000 dunams in the Hebron Mountains while urban centers face repeated incursions creates a dual-track reality: territorial consolidation on one side and fragmentation on the other. When viewed together, land registration expansion, demolition notices, widespread arrests, reinforcement deployments, and reported escalation planning point toward long-term structural transformation rather than short-term security containment. The question is no longer whether tensions will rise, but how far the current strategy intends to go and what the regional consequences will be if escalation continues.
