“’MuddyWater’: Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security running malicious cyber campaigns, warns US,” WION, February 25, 2022.

“Why Iran’s Hardliners Welcome Russia’s Invasion Of Ukraine,” Iran International, February 25, 2022.

In this barely noticed article, Iran courts (often done with bribes, etc.) a small country, Trinidad and Tobago, to join its orbit.  This is facilitated by the regime in nearby Venezuela.  “Iran’s president says country ready to share oil, gas experience with T&T,” Guardian, February 25, 2022.

“Iran to enrich uranium to 20% even after nuclear deal – nuclear chief,” Reuters, February 25, 2020.  Reuters, to its credit, does include this key point—“The 2015 deal restricts the purity to which Iran can enrich uranium to 3.67%, far below the roughly 90% that is weapons-grade or the 20% Iran reached before the deal. Iran is now enriching to various levels, the highest being around 60%.”  Only 3-4% is needed for electricity production and isotopes, so clearly Iran wants to continue to work toward weapons enrichment.
