Nuclear inspectors have left Iran: UN watchdog
inspectors left Iran on Friday, according to the agency, which called for the resumption of its "indispensable monitoring" after the Islamic republic officially suspended its cooperation.
The suspension came after last month's 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which saw unprecedented Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
"An IAEA team of inspectors today safely departed from Iran to return to the agency headquarters in Vienna, after staying in Tehran throughout the recent military conflict," the IAEA said in a post on X.

"IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reiterated the crucial importance of the IAEA discussing with Iran modalities for resuming its indispensable monitoring and verification activities in Iran as soon as possible," it added.
Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog on Wednesday.
Live Events
On June 25, a day after a ceasefire took hold, Iranian lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend the cooperation.
The law aims to "ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran" under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media.
Washington, which has been pressing Tehran to resume the negotiations that were interrupted by Israel's resort to military action on June 13, has hit out at the Iranian decision, calling it "unacceptable".

CM: Won't tolerate hooliganism in the name of Marathi
Mumbai: Hooliganism under the guise of Marathi pride will not be tolerated in the state, CM Fadnavis warned on Friday. He said police had registered an FIR and taken action in the Mira Road incident where a businessman was beaten up by MNS workers for not knowing Marathi. Speaking to the media, Fadnavis said beating up someone over language was wrong. "We are Marathi and are proud of the language. Insisting that a person speak in Marathi is not wrong, but beating up a businessman because he does not know it is wrong. Our Marathi-speaking people are doing business in different states, and if they do not know the local language, should they get similar treatment? Such behaviour and hooliganism are not correct. Action will be taken against such violent behaviour," he said. CM Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday, "We are proud of Marathi, but no injustice can be done to any other Indian language. Sometimes I am amazed they embrace English but create disputes over Hindi. What kind of thinking is this, and what kind of action is this?"

"Should businessmen not do business? If a Marathi-speaking businessman goes to Assam and does business there and takes time to learn Assamese, should he be meted out similar treatment? Should the people of Assam beat him up? If you genuinely take pride in Marathi, then serve the language, start classes to teach Marathi, teach your children Marathi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Why have you set up schools where it is clearly mentioned that Marathi is the third language?" he asked. On the Thackeray cousins holding a "victory rally" over state govt's withdrawal of two GRs about Hindi being taught as a third language from Class 1, Fadnavis said they (Thackerays) seem to be happy about the decision taken by govt. "Let them hold the victory rally. The committee to make recommendations was set up by them, they put their aide on the committee, the committee recommended that Hindi and English should be made compulsory from Class 1 to 12, the recommendations were accepted by them in the cabinet, the minutes were signed by them. .. the Marathi manoos knows they are double-faced," he said. This was a reiteration of his earlier statement that Uddhav Thackery as CM had accepted the report of the Mashelkar panel recommending that Hindi be the third language from Class 1.

'Indian diaspora in Africa identifies as African because...': Woman's post supporting Zohran Mamdani goes viral
Woman's post explaining why Mamdani is not wrong to identify himself as an African went viral. Amid the controversy over New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani 's race, a woman supported Mamdani identifying himself as an African though not by blood and said the entire Indian diaspora in Africa identifies as African. "...because we are! From! Africa!" the woman, Sophia Babai, wrote on BlueSky. The woman explained that her parents are from the same diaspora as Zohran's father Mahmood Mamdani and they will always introduce themselves as African, and there is nothing wrong in it. Sophia explained that Americans don't understand the extent to which the Indian diaspora in East Africa is a separate culture in itself. She said that compared to Indians, they eat different food, follow a different branch of Islam and have a culture of their own, which is not Indian. Their language is stuffed with Swahili and they look different from Indians. Woman's post on Gujarati African diaspora in connection with Mamdani went viral Indian diaspora in Africa identify as Africans, the woman said. "It is also just incredibly funny seeing white Americans claim that Zohran can't identify as African because he isn't Black, like sir ma'am where do you think white people came from," the woman said explaining how a group called Lohana who are believed to be from Lahore ended up in Guajarat and Punjab and later converted -- tracing the roots of Mamdani's family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "Every Gujarati African I have ever met identifies as African first, and probably Indian second but possibly not Indian at all. Indians certainly consider us African, to a point where more traditional Indians will not intermarry with us, even if they are ethnically and religiously identical," the woman explained. The post came in reaction to a major row over Zohran Mamdani claiming himself to be African-American or Black in the application for Columbia University. Though he did not get into Columbia, the revelation that he attempted at a faulty racial identity triggered a political storm, though Mamdani said he was not aiming to gain anything but was trying to capture his diverse background as he was born in Uganda.

Bangladeshi Islamist Leader Vows To Follow Taliban Model If Voted To Power: 'Will Introduce...'
Faizul Karim vowed to model Bangladesh's governance on Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, sparking backlash from Awami League. Mufti Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim, leader of the Islamist group Jamaat–Char Monai and chief of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, declared that if his party forms the next government, it will model Bangladesh's governance on Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and implement nationwide Sharia law. In an interview, Karim said, 'If government is formed by winning the national election, the Islamic Movement Bangladesh will introduce Sharia law in the country." 'The current governance system of Afghanistan will be followed," he added. Karim went on to assert that his party's interpretation of Islamic governance would also draw elements from Iran, as he said, 'If needed, we will follow Iran's model too. We will take what is good from anywhere in the world- America, England, Russia- as long as it does not contradict Sharia." The remarks sparked sharp backlash from Bangladesh's ruling Awami League, which accused the Jamaat–Char Monai alliance of openly laying out a blueprint for transforming the secular democracy into a religious state governed by rigid Islamic law. Calling the interview 'chilling", the Awami League issued a statement warning of a coordinated agenda by Islamist factions to dismantle democratic norms, enforce religious codes and suppress women's and minority rights. The party pointed to a rise in sectarian violence, including attacks on Hindu temples, disruptions of religious ceremonies and increasing threats against women. It blamed the Yunus-led interim government for failing to curb what it called 'unchecked extremism" since Sheikh Hasina's removal from office in August last year. Karim, however, remained unapologetic about his vision, asserting, 'We are not talking about violence. We are talking about a system based on the Quran and Hadith. And if the people vote for it, then it is their choice." He also claimed that his party would not immediately dismantle the current state apparatus, saying, 'We will implement Sharia law step by step. What does not conflict with Islam- we will keep. What does- we will change." First Published: July 04, 2025, 21:17 IST
