Iranian Security Expert Abolfazl Bazargan: Iran Must Build and Test a Large Nuclear Bomb; Tactical Device Is Not Enough - 'That Beautiful Mushroom Rise' Would Deter Enemies and Warn Tel Aviv; Iran's S
He further claimed that Iran can absolutely build an atomic bomb, noting that, according to an IAEA report, Iran conducted a 'cold test' prior to 2003. Citing Dr. Fereydoon Abbasi, the former head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization who was assassinated during the June Iran‑Israel war, Bazargan said Iran had tested hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, ICBMs, and satellite launchers, and Iran could conceivably achieve the technology to develop a nuclear bomb.
Bazargan concluded that Iran's survival, future, and territorial integrity depend on whether it obtains an atomic bomb, stating that an atomic bomb is not optional but a necessity.

Amnesty accuses Iran of firing cluster munitions at Israel
Paris – Amnesty International said on Thursday that Iran fired widely-banned cluster munitions at Israel during a war between the two countries in June, in attacks that endangered civilians. 'Last month, the Iranian forces fired ballistic missiles whose warheads contained submunitions into populated residential areas of Israel,' the human rights group said, citing new research. The organisation said it analysed photos and videos showing cluster munitions that, according to media reports, struck inside the Gush Dan metropolitan area around Tel Aviv on June 19. On top of that, the southern city of Beersheba on June 20 and Rishon LeZion to the south of Tel Aviv on June 22 were also 'struck with ordnance that left multiple impact craters consistent with the submunitions seen in Gush Dan', Amnesty said. 'By using such weapons in or near populated residential areas, Iranian forces endangered civilian lives,' said Erika Guevara Rosas, senior director at Amnesty International. 'Iranian forces' deliberate use of such inherently indiscriminate weapons is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.' Cluster munitions explode in mid-air and scatter bomblets. Some of them do not explode on impact and can cause casualties over time, particularly among children. Neither Iran nor Israel is among more than a hundred countries that are party to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, transfer, production and storage of cluster bombs. Amnesty said international law 'prohibits the use of inherently indiscriminate weapons, and launching indiscriminate attacks that kill or injure civilians constitutes a war crime'. Israel and Iran fought a 12-day war sparked by an Israeli bombing campaign on June 13. Israel said the strikes were aimed at preventing the Islamic republic from developing a nuclear weapon, an ambition Tehran has consistently denied.

Iraq pushes PMF Law forward despite US warnings of Iranian influence
Shafaq News As the Iraqi Parliament advances legislation to formalize the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) as an independent security institution, tensions with the United States are escalating. Washington warns the bill could entrench Iranian influence and undermine Iraqi sovereignty, while Iraqi officials insist the move is a long-overdue recognition of a key component of the national defense structure. The proposed law, known informally as the amended PMF Authority Law, is being debated amid a wider struggle over Iraq's security architecture and regional alignments. US officials view the legislation as a potential shift in the balance of power within Iraq's armed forces, one that may prioritize loyalty to Tehran-aligned factions over the Iraqi state. 'Legislating this type of law will entrench Iranian influence and terrorist armed groups that undermine Iraq's sovereignty,' US Secretary of State Marc Rubio reportedly told Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in a phone call last Wednesday, according to State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce. In response, al-Sudani defended the legislation, describing it as part of a broader security reform initiative passed by parliament. He emphasized that the PMF remains under the authority of the commander-in-chief and operates as an official security formation alongside Iraq's military and intelligence institutions. What the New PMF Law Proposes The legislation—now in its second reading in parliament—would repeal the 2016 law and reconstitute the PMF as a permanent, autonomous military body. Key provisions include: -Granting the PMF financial and administrative independence. -Formalizing it alongside institutions like the National Intelligence and National Security Services. -Authorizing new formations under the PMF umbrella. -Giving the PMF commission chief broad authority to implement restructuring and development. According to the Prime Minister's office, the draft law aims to improve institutional cohesion and extend benefits to families of fallen fighters. Iraqi Lawmakers Defend the PMF Iraqi lawmakers have pushed back against US objections, asserting that the PMF is a state-aligned institution. 'The Popular Mobilization Forces are an Iraqi security institution that receives salaries from the government and takes orders from the Commander-in-Chief, just like other security agencies,' said Ali Ni'ma al-Bandawi, member of the parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, in comments to Shafaq News. Al-Bandawi emphasized the PMF's origin following Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani's 2014 fatwa to defend the country against ISIS, calling it a 'sacred ideological force.' He said the law would enhance organizational structure and improve fighters' welfare, not deepen foreign ties. 'American and other foreign interference in drafting laws for the Iraqi Council of Representatives is unacceptable.' Al-Bandawi also criticized the withdrawal of some parliamentary blocs during the July 16 session, calling it 'a misguided step,' and reiterated that the Coordination Framework and State Administration Coalition hold enough votes to pass the law without consensus but prefer to preserve political partnership. Divisions Inside Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al- Mashhadani, in a recent televised interview, revealed that the US had sent messages to Iraqi political leaders expressing support for integrating the PMF—not expanding its autonomy. He warned that the draft law lacked clarity regarding PMF roles and authorities, making it difficult to implement effectively. This prompted backlash from MPs, who accused him of undermining national consensus and began collecting signatures to demand his removal. The law passed its second reading during the July 16 parliamentary session, chaired by First Deputy Speaker Mohsen al-Mandalawi, with 172 out of 329 lawmakers in attendance. Some Kurdish and Sunni MPs staged a walkout in protest. Expert Warnings of Strategic Fallout Western analysts view the legislation as a turning point. 'The law appears to institutionalize a military structure that is not fully loyal to the Iraqi government,' said Thomas Warrick, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and former US official at the Department of Homeland Security. 'The United States would prefer to see PMF members integrated into regular army units rather than maintaining autonomous formations.' Warrick acknowledged that some of the draft law's provisions are administrative in nature, but argued that others 'cause deep concern,' particularly regarding command chains and foreign influence. He emphasized that the US seeks a unified national military under elected constitutional leaders and remains wary of past cases where PMF leadership showed stronger loyalty to foreign actors than to Iraq's government. Ahmed Al-Yasiri, head of the Arab-Australian Center for Strategic Studies, echoed those concerns in remarks to Shafaq News, describing the PMF as a 'political institution' tied to Iranian regional strategy. He cited the US strike on PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020 as a reflection of Washington's view that the PMF threatened the US-designed post-2003 Iraqi security order. 'This law may grant legal cover to groups managed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Iraq,' Al-Yasiri said, warning that passing the bill could severely strain US–Iraq relations and jeopardize American investment and security cooperation, especially in northern regions like Duhok and Erbil, which have seen recent drone attacks blamed on Iran-linked armed forces. He added that the Al-Sudani government may be seeking to end the current legislative term with a 'containment measure' aimed at stabilizing internal dynamics—but risks alienating international partners. Alternative Perspective: A Shield of Sovereignty Sabah al-Akili, a Baghdad-based political commentator, described US opposition as 'a blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty,' accusing Washington of attempting to dismantle regional power structures that challenge Israeli and American interests. 'Any politician who abstains from supporting the PMF law is aligning with foreign agendas,' he told Shafaq News, arguing that neutralizing the PMF would expose Iraq to destabilization and regional fragmentation. He pointed to developments in Syria's Suwayda region and Lebanon as part of what he described as a wider campaign to redraw Middle Eastern borders through proxy manipulation and disarmament efforts targeting anti-Western forces. What Comes Next? If passed in its current form, the PMF law would deepen the divide between Iraq's Shiite-dominated political forces and US regional interests. It could trigger renewed scrutiny of US aid programs and military cooperation, especially if American bases or partners in Iraq become targets of groups shielded by the new legal framework. With Kurdistan Region factions already expressing concern, and Sunni parties signaling defection from the legislative process, the law could also reawaken sectarian and federalist tensions. At the same time, proponents argue that formalizing the PMF is essential for preserving national unity—and that sidelining it could invite greater chaos and foreign intervention.

Iran says IAEA team to visit soon
Also in Iran Iran says 75 escaped from notorious Tehran prison after Israeli attack Trump ready to strike Iran as Tehran invites US for talks Iran announces nuclear talks with E3 in Istanbul Kurdish armed group blames Iran for deadly Sulaimani drone attack A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iran's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that a delegation from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog is set to visit within two to three weeks, but will not head to the country's nuclear facilities. 'We have agreed actually to accept a delegation of the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], a technical delegation, to visit Iran very soon, in two to three weeks,' Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told reporters. Earlier in July, President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a law suspending cooperation with the IAEA, blocking inspectors from entering the country until Iran receives guarantees protecting its nuclear infrastructure. Pezeshkian claimed that Israeli intelligence may have obtained sensitive information from IAEA inspectors. 'The delegation will come to Iran to discuss the modality, not to go to the [nuclear] sites,' Gharibabadi clarified. A fresh round of nuclear talks between Iran and European powers is set to take place in Istanbul on Friday, the first discussions since the United States attacked Iran's nuclear facilities last month, and after Israel launched surprise military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and senior commanders on June 13. Washington on June 24 brokered a ceasefire to the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later declared victory, claiming that US President Donald Trump had exaggerated the destruction caused by US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Under a 2015 deal with world powers - formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) - Iran agreed to curb its nuclear enrichment program in exchange for much-needed relief from crippling sanctions. But the deal began unraveling in 2018 when Washington, under President Donald Trump's first term, unilaterally withdrew from the accord and reimposed biting sanctions on the Islamic republic, which in turn began rolling back on its nuclear commitments.
