Iran MP says no plan to ship out uranium stockpile

Feb 15, 2026, 12:34 GMT+0

An Iranian lawmaker said upcoming nuclear talks in Geneva will not include Iran’s missile program or regional issues, and insisted Tehran will not discuss stopping uranium enrichment or sending its nuclear stockpile out of the country.

Ebrahim Rezaei, a member and spokesman of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, wrote on social media that “in this round of negotiations, there is no discussion of stopping or abandoning uranium enrichment,” and that Iran’s stockpiles will not be transferred abroad.

He added the United States has already accepted those points in earlier discussions, and said the Geneva talks are limited to the nuclear file.

Rezaei said Iran’s negotiating team has prepared a proposal package “to avoid wasting time,” but added that Tehran is not optimistic about a result given what he described as Washington’s track record.

Netanyahu orders steps to revoke citizenship of Israelis convicted of spying for Iran

Feb 15, 2026, 12:17 GMT+0

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered legal proceedings to begin to revoke the citizenship of Israelis convicted of serious espionage on behalf of Iran, officials said, in what they described as an unprecedented move.

The directive, issued with the backing of Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, instructs authorities to pursue revocation only after a final, binding conviction for severe espionage offenses linked to the Islamic Republic.

Netanyahu told a closed-door meeting that spying against Israel constituted “a fundamental breach of trust,” according to officials familiar with the discussion, Israeli media reported.

Under Israel’s Citizenship Law, nationality can be revoked for a breach of loyalty, including espionage or treason. The provision has rarely been used and was previously considered mainly in terrorism-related cases.

Officials said that in practical terms, individuals stripped of citizenship who hold no other nationality would retain permanent residency and could continue living in Israel, though they would lose civil rights such as voting.

Over the past two years, around 40 indictments have been filed against about 60 suspects accused of being recruited by Iran, according to officials. Israel’s Shin Bet security service has warned of a rise in Iranian efforts to recruit Israeli citizens, describing it as a growing national security threat.

He said the health ministry, in a confidential correspondence, opposed the Tehran security council’s request for medical records of those injured in the protests.

According to the information received, Biglari works at a men’s barbershop in Tehran and was arrested on January 8 while returning home from work.

Iran lawmaker says Munich crowd inflated by nearby event

Feb 15, 2026, 10:57 GMT+0

An Iranian lawmaker dismissed a major rally in Munich as a staged “show,” despite Munich police estimating that about 250,000 people attended.

Morteza Mahmoudi, a Tehran MP, alleged that monarchist supporters had lured people from across Europe with “empty promises” and heavy spending, including travel and ticket costs, according to remarks carried by Iranian media.

He said the turnout was “very small” and alleged the crowd was inflated because it mixed with visitors attending a nearby pre-planned event, calling the global coverage of the rally “embarrassing.”
