Middle East crisis live: Trump says Iran ceasefire is on ‘massive life support’

​Donald Trump said one of his central objectives in launching ‌a war against Iran was to ensure Tehran does not develop a ​nuclear weapon. ​Iran – which insists its nuclear programme is peaceful – is yet to hand over more than 400 kg ⁠of uranium enriched up to 60%, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Now it looks as if the US could restart its war, Iran’s parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei warned that Iran could enrich uranium up to 90% purity if the country is attacked again. “One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90 percent enrichment. We will review it in the parliament,” Rezaei posted on X.
