IAEA to Visit Iran Within Next Two Weeks
The announcement came after IAEA's director unveiled that Tehran is ready to restart technical conversations.
Baghaei noted that Iran will present a manual concerning the future of Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. It will be based on a recent parliamentary bill restricting such cooperation. Iran & IAEA Relations
Iranian relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have deteriorated since the United States and Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in June in order to eliminate Iran's nuclear program.
In June, the Iranian Guardian Council approved a law suspending Tehran's cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, Arab News reported.
According to the new law, the IAEA should have approval by the Supreme National Security Council for any future inspection of Iran's nuclear sites.
'For us, IAEA inspectors approaching nuclear sites has both a security aspect … and the safety of the inspectors themselves is a matter that must be examined,' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said.
He also told Tehran-based diplomats that Iran's cooperation with the nuclear watchdog has not stopped. However, it will take a new form and will be guided and managed through the Supreme National Security Council.
This legislative move came as a response to a series of escalations that began on June 13, when Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. Consequently, the US launched several airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.

The Netherlands wants part of that agreement to be and Smotrich remained defiant. In a statement on social media, Smotrich said European leaders were surrendering to 'the lies of radical Islam' and that Jews may not be able to live safely in Europe in the said he will 'continue to act' and said that in Europe 'a Jewish minister from Israel is unwanted, terrorists are free, and Jews are boycotted.'Pressure has been mounting on the Dutch government, which is gearing up for elections in October, to change course on Israeli policy. Last week, thousands demonstrated at train stations across the country, carrying pots and pans to signify the food shortage in government will also summon the Israeli ambassador to the Netherlands to urge Netanyahu to change course and 'immediately take measures that lead to a substantial and rapid improvement in the humanitarian situation throughout the Gaza Strip,' Veldkamp international pressure, Israel over the weekend announced humanitarian pauses, airdrops and other measures meant to allow more aid to Palestinians in Gaza. But people there say little or nothing has changed on the ground. The UN has described it as a one-week scale-up of aid, and Israel has not said how long these latest measures would asserts that Hamas is the reason aid isn't reaching Palestinians in Gaza and accuses its militants of siphoning off aid to support its rule in the territory.

Stellantis faces $1.7b hit from us tariffs this year
Stellantis has forecasted that US tariffs would cost it 1.5 billion euros (1.7 billion) this year – five times the hit taken in the first six months of the year when the carmaker tallied losses of 2.3 billion euros (2.65 billion). The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, and Peugeot cars said Tuesday that net profits plummeted from 5.6 billion euros (6.5 billion) in the same period last year as it burned 3.3 billion euros (3.8 billion) in cash for the cancellation of a hydrogen fuel cell project, changes in the fine regime for US carbon emission regulations, and write-downs on platform investments. US President Donald Trump's tariffs cost the company 300 million euros (346 million) in the first six months of the year, Stellantis said. During the period, US shipments were down by nearly a quarter as the carmaker reduced the importation vehicles produced abroad. Stellantis said it expected net revenues to increase over the next six months compared with the first half when they dropped 13 percent to 74.3 billion euros (85.7 billion). The carmaker also said cash flow would improve. Incoming CEO Antonio Filosa, who was confirmed in the role last month, said the new executive team will continue to make the tough decisions needed to re-establish profitable growth and significantly improve results. 'My first weeks as CEO have reconfirmed my strong conviction that we will fix what's wrong with Stellantis,' Filosa said in a statement.

Dutch Summon Israeli Ambassador, Impose Travel Ban on Ministers
The Dutch government will summon Israel's ambassador to the Netherlands to denounce the "unbearable and indefensible" situation in Gaza and has imposed travel bans on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, it said in a letter published late on Monday. Israeli government ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will no longer be allowed to enter the Netherlands, which accuses them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians and calling for an "ethnic cleansing" of the Gaza strip. The Dutch decision follows similar moves last month by Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway. The government said it supported the EU's recommendation to curb Israeli access to its flagship research funding program and said it would press for European trade sanctions if Israel was found to be in breach of its agreement with the European Union on increasing aid supplies.
