Iran says deputy head of UN nuclear watchdog to visit Monday - Region
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday the deputy head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog will arrive in Tehran the following day. The visit will be the first by a senior official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since Iran suspended cooperation with the body last month in the wake of the 12-day war with Israel. "Our talks with the Agency tomorrow will focus on a new cooperation framework... Until we reach an agreement on a new framework, cooperation will not begin," Araghchi told reporters. He said there were "no inspections or visits" of nuclear sites planned for the official. In mid-June, Israel launched an unprecedented attack targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, but also hitting residential areas over the course of the war. US forces joined with attacks on nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz. Last month, Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the IAEA citing the agency's failure to condemn Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Israel's attack derailed nuclear talks between Iran and the United States which had begun in April. The talks had been the highest-level contact between Tehran and Washington since the United States abandoned in 2018 a landmark agreement on Iran's nuclear activities. Since the 12-day war, Iran has demanded guarantees against military action before resuming any negotiations with the US. Araghchi recently said Iran has "received messages" from the US side on the resumption of talks, and on Sunday, he said that "nothing has been finalised" on that matter. On July 25, Iranian diplomats met with counterparts from Germany, Britain, and France who have threatened to trigger sanctions against Tehran by the end of August if it fails to reach a deal on its nuclear programme. The so-called "snapback mechanism" would reinstate UN sanctions under a moribund 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. The option expires in October and Tehran has warned of consequences should it be activated. "Our contact with the Europeans is ongoing," said Araghchi on Sunday, adding that a date for the next round of talks has yet to be set. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

4 Killed in Armed Attack on Police Station in Iran
Israa Farhan Four people were killed on Sunday in southeastern Iran during an attempted armed assault on a police station in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, a region long plagued by insurgent violence and cross-border militancy. According to local security reports, one police officer from the city of Saravan lost his life when armed militants tried to storm the police facility. Three attackers were killed in the ensuing clash, while two others were captured alive by security forces. Authorities have identified the assailants as members of the Baloch militant group Jaish al-Adl, which is based in Pakistan and operates in southeastern Iran. The province lies about 1,200 kilometers southeast of Tehran and shares extensive borders with both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Sistan-Baluchestan has been the scene of frequent armed confrontations between Iranian security forces, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and insurgents from the Baloch minority, as well as other militant factions and drug trafficking networks. The attack follows a series of violent incidents in the region. On 26 July, gunmen stormed a courthouse in the provincial capital Zahedan, killing at least six people in an assault later claimed by Jaish al-Adl. In October last year, one of the deadliest attacks in the province's recent history left ten police officers dead in what authorities also described as a terrorist operation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
