Iran plans temporary suspension of cooperation with IAEA due to its 'political stance'
Tehran, June 23 (UNI) The Iranian parliament plans to pass a bill to temporarily suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) due to its "politicised stance", said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Majlis (the unicameral parliament) of the Islamic Republic, reports Sputnik.
'We plan to adopt a bill in parliament that would suspend Iran's cooperation with the IAEA until we receive objective guarantees of professional conduct from this international organisation,' he said during a speech to lawmakers.
'The world has clearly seen that the IAEA has not fulfilled a single one of its obligations and has turned into a political tool.'
A parliamentary bill to suspend Iran's cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog is under consideration, said Parliament presidium member Ruhollah Motefakerzadeh on June 23, according to state news agency Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), reports Strait Times.

Ayatollah Khamenei Asks Putin To Do More For Iran After US Air Strikes
Iran's Supreme Leader sent his foreign minister to Moscow on Monday to ask President Vladimir Putin for more help from Russia after the biggest US military action against the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution over the weekend. US President Donald Trump and Israel have publicly speculated about killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and about regime change, a step Russia fears could sink the Middle East into the abyss. While Putin has condemned the Israeli strikes, he is yet to comment on the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, though he last week called for calm and offered Moscow's services as a mediator over the nuclear programme. A senior source told Reuters that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was due to deliver a letter from Khamenei to Putin, seeking the latter's support. Iran has not been impressed with Russia's support so far, Iranian sources told Reuters, and the country wants Putin to do more to back it against Israel and the United States. The sources did not elaborate on what assistance Tehran wanted. The Kremlin said that Putin would receive Araqchi but did not say what would be discussed. Araqchi was quoted by the state TASS news agency as saying that Iran and Russia were coordinating their positions on the current escalation in the Middle East. Putin has repeatedly offered to mediate between the United States and Iran, and said that he had conveyed Moscow's ideas on resolving the conflict to them while ensuring Iran's continued access to civil nuclear energy. The Kremlin chief last week refused to discuss the possibility that Israel and the United States would kill Khamenei. Putin said that Israel had given Moscow assurances that Russian specialists helping to build two more reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran would not be hurt in air strikes. Russia, a longstanding ally of Tehran, plays a role in Iran's nuclear negotiations with the West as a veto-wielding U.N. Security Council member and a signatory to an earlier nuclear deal Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018. But Putin, whose army is fighting a major war of attrition in Ukraine for the fourth year, has so far shown little appetite in public for diving into a confrontation with the United States over Iran just as Trump seeks to repair ties with Moscow.

Israel-Iran war and threats of regime change
The US attack on Iran's three nuclear facilities – Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan – has escalated tensions in the ongoing Israel-Iran war, mounting fears of a wider regional conflagration as Iran weighs its military options for retaliation. Adding to the volatility of the situation, President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of regime change in Iran. Since the early morning surprise attacks by Israel on June 13 on military and nuclear targets across Iran, the two longtime foes have been attacking each other using air force, UAVs and ballistic missiles. The tit-for-tat attacks have so far led to serious casualties and injuries in Iran, with reportedly hundreds of deaths, including several high-profile military leaders and nuclear scientists. Israel, too, has reported over 20 deaths and scores of injuries. A large number of civilians have been affected on both sides, with many civilian installations, including energy infrastructure, ports, media houses and hospitals being hit by both sides. When Israel started the military attacks against Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the objective of the operation was to destroy Iran's nuclear programme, which has long been a bone of contention between the two regional powers. Israel has also targeted some of Iran's nuclear sites, such as in Natanz, Fordow and Arak. Meanwhile, Iran has been able to consistently breach the Israeli air defence, causing damages across Israel. As the Israel-Iran conflict continues to escalate, the international discourse has shifted from the Iranian nuclear programme to regime change in Tehran. The issue has gained global attention mainly due to the statements of Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu, who have on several occasions articulated that a regime change in Tehran is the only way to resolve problems facing the region. Israel has for long accused Iran of flaming fires in the region by arming proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Palestinian Territories, who have often threatened Israeli security. Israel also suspects Iran of backing Hamas's attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, that triggered the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which has continued for sixteen months now. Israel also views Iran's nuclear programme and its regional military pursuits as an existential threat. Prior to the US joining the war, there have been reports about Arab Gulf countries trying back-channel diplomacy to prevent the expansion. With the US eventually joining the Israeli war against Iran and Trump's hint at regime change in Iran, it might be useful to recall that similar US military endeavours in the past have spelt disaster for West Asia and have proven costly for the US as well. The post-9/11 'war on terror' had led the US to first attack Afghanistan in 2001 and then enter Iraq in 2003. On both occasions, the US military met with early success, removing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and toppling Saddam Hussein in Iraq in quick times. However, the US got embroiled in long wars in both countries with mounting economic and human costs. In the case of Iraq, it finally withdrew its troops in 2011 under the Obama administration, only to be drawn back due to the rise of the Islamic State in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring. The American intervention in Afghanistan proved costlier, with the exit completed in 2021, only for the Taliban to take back control of the country. More recently, the US-led NATO intervention in Libya in 2011 spelt disaster for the country, with Libya still facing the brunt of a civil war endangering security in North Africa. Nonetheless, the past experiences and the opposition among his support base to the US getting involved in foreign wars couldn't deter Trump. With the US now involved in the war, the region is likely to pay a heavy price. Despite being a weaker military power compared to the US and Israel, Iran is unlikely to capitulate easily. Even in a scenario where the major regime figures perish in the war, the likelihood of the war engulfing the entire Persian Gulf and West Asia region cannot be ruled out, especially as Iran enjoys the support of armed militias in countries like Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon. Moreover, as Iran has shown in its conflict with Israel, it can reach long-distance targets, which means the US bases in the region could come under Iranian attacks. Further, Iran may even target oil and gas installations in the area to disrupt the global energy market and leverage it to its advantage. Iran's Parliament has already approved the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, which can drastically affect the global petroleum supply chain. Additionally, all parties involved will have to pay a huge economic and humanitarian cost if the war is prolonged. Given the above scenario, the regional countries, especially the GCC States, have been forthcoming in expressing their concerns over the possibility of escalation and expansion of the Israel-Iran war. Although none of the regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and others, have been comfortable with the idea of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, they have maintained that a diplomatic approach might be more fruitful instead of opening a war front. This is mainly because the regional countries are at a critical juncture of their developmental journey, prioritising economic diversification and social opening in preparation for a post-oil future. Peace, stability, and security are prerequisites for them to achieve this. The regional countries, therefore, fear that if the Israel-Iran war spirals into a wider conflict with now the US involved in it, it will push the entire region into instability. What do America's past interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya tell us about the risks in Iran? Can the Israel-Iran conflict be contained, or is a wider West Asian conflagration inevitable? What role, if any, can international diplomacy play in de-escalating the crisis? What are the risks of attacking active nuclear sites like Natanz, Fordow, and Arak? Despite its weaker military capabilities, how is Iran attempting to deter or outmaneuver the U.S.-Israel alliance?

Iran's retaliatory attack to US strikes possible in a day or two: Report
The President Donald Trump-led US administration is bracing for a possible Iranian retaliation to the weekend strikes carried out by the United States on three Iranian nuclear facilities - Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. File image: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's grandson, Hassan Khomeini stands next to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (REUTERS) While the US is apparently still seeking a diplomatic resolution, it assesses that Iran could carry out retaliatory attacks targeting American forces in the Middle East as soon as next day or two. Follow Israel Iran conflict live updates Two US officials spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity on Monday and said Iran's retaliatory attack could happen within the next day or two. Iran has threatened to retaliate after US bombed its nuclear sites over the weekend, which Donald Trump said 'completely and totally obliterated" the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities targeted. US strikes Iran The US on Saturday struck three Iranian nuclear sites – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – using bunker-buster bombs, with President Donald Trump asking Iran to agree to 'end the war' after the 'historic moment for the United States of America, Israel and the world'. Confirming the strikes, US President Trump first posted on Truth Social, 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' In another post, Donald Trump wrote, 'I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran. This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!' With the strikes, the US officially joined the Israeli campaign against Iran directly. In his address to nation over the US strikes on Iran, Donald Trump said, 'Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.' Reacting to the US strikes, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the bombing campaign Israel launched on June 13 "a big mistake". "The Zionist enemy... is being punished right now," Khamenei wrote on social media.
