Iran publicly executes man for child rape, murder
According to Mizan Online, the judiciary's news website, the victim's family from Bukan, a city in northwestern Iran, participated in the trial and called for a public execution.
Nasser Atabati, the provincial chief justice, stated that "the case received special attention due to the emotional impact it had on public opinion."
The death sentence was issued in March and later upheld by the country's Supreme Court.
Atabati explained that the execution was carried out publicly "at the request of the victim's family and citizens, given the emotional impact the case had on society."
Murder and rape are capital offenses in Iran. The country ranks second globally in the number of executions, trailing only China, according to human rights organizations including Amnesty International.

Araghchi says Iran cannot give up on nuclear enrichment
Ammon News - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that Tehran cannot give up on its uranium enrichment program which was severely damaged during the Israel-Iran war last month. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Prior to the war, Tehran and Washington held five rounds of nuclear talks mediated by Oman but could not agree on the extent to which Iran should be allowed to enrich uranium. Israel and Washington say Iran was close to enriching to levels that would allow it to quickly produce a nuclear weapon, while Tehran says its enrichment program is for civilian purposes only. KEY QUOTES "It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously we cannot give up (on) enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride," the foreign minister told the Fox News show "Special Report with Bret Baier" on Monday. The foreign minister said the damage to the nuclear facilities in Iran after U.S. and Israeli strikes was serious and was being evaluated further. Araghchi also said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was in "good health" and that Tehran was open to talks with Washington but that those will not be direct "for the time being." Reuters

Trump threatens to strike Iran's nuclear sites again 'if necessary'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared Monday that his country will not abandon its nuclear program, particularly uranium enrichment, despite the "severe damage" inflicted on its nuclear facilities by US bombing. "[Enrichment] is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe..,But obviously we cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists…It is a matter of national pride," Araghchi told Bret Baier of Fox News. The Iranian minister emphasized that any future nuclear agreement must guarantee the Islamic Republic's right to enrich uranium. Asked if Tehran had salvaged any enriched uranium from the US bombardment, the Iranian minister stated he did not "have detailed information" on the matter, but that the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization is working "to assess exactly what happened to our nuclear materials, our enriched materials." Trump reacted to Araghci's comments on Truth Social, saying: 'Of course they are [destroyed], just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary. 'As interviewed by Bret Baier. Fake News CNN should immediately fire their phony 'reporter' and apologize to me and the great pilots who 'OBLITERATED' Iran's nuclear sites. CNN is a major ratings loser, as is MSDNC!' he added on Truth Social. On June 13, 'Israel' launched widespread strikes on Iran, sparking a 12-day war between the two countries. On June 22, the United States joined the conflict, bombing the underground Fordow uranium enrichment facility south of Tehran, and two nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz in central Iran. The actual extent of the damage inflicted by the bombing on these three sites remains unknown.

US strikes severely damaged nuclear sites, enrichment halted, says Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday that US strikes caused serious damage to the country's nuclear facilities, temporarily halting uranium enrichment. However, he firmly rejected the idea that Iran would abandon its enrichment program, calling it a matter of national pride. 'Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged,' Araghchi said in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, noting that Iran's Atomic Energy Organization is still assessing the full extent of the destruction. He declined to comment on whether any enriched uranium survived the attacks. While confirming that enrichment activities are currently suspended, Araghchi emphasized that the United States' goal of ending Iran's enrichment capability 'will not be achieved.' 'We cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride,' he said. 'Our enrichment is so dear to us.'
