Israel attacks Yemeni ports, Houth-run television says
ADEN, May 16 (Reuters) - Israel attacked Yemen's ports of Hodeidah and Salif along the country's Red Sea coast on Friday, the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said, in an apparent response to the militant group's missile launches against Israel.
Al Masirah did not provide further details, but two residents in Hodeidah said they heard four loud booms. There was no immediate comment on the attack from Israel.
The Houthis have continued to fire missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, although they have agreed to halt attacks on U.S. ships.
The Israeli military, which has carried out numerous retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets, intercepted a missile launched by the group on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Israel issued evacuation orders for the ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah and Salif, saying they were being used by the Iranian-aligned Houthis.

IAEA chief relays Iran warning against Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities
CAIRO, June 9 (Reuters) - International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi said Iranians warned him that an Israel strike on the country's nuclear facilities could cause Iran to be more determined about developing a nuclear weapon, according to an interview broadcast and published on Monday. 'A strike could potentially have an amalgamating effect, solidifying Iran's determination – I will say it plainly – to pursue a nuclear weapon or withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,' Grossi said in the interview, published on the Jerusalem Post website and broadcast on i24 TV on Monday. Grossi, however, doubted that Israel would strike Tehran's nuclear facilities, the Jerusalem Post reported. The Iranian nuclear program "runs wide and deep," Grossi told the Jerusalem Post. "Disrupting them would require overwhelming and devastating force." Tehran and Washington have recently engaged in Oman-mediated nuclear talks. Iran is set to hand a counter-proposal for a nuclear deal to the United States via Oman, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday, in response to a U.S. offer that Tehran deems "unacceptable". Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to take actions that could disrupt nuclear talks with Iran. "I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution now," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "That could change at any moment." Trump and Netanyahu are expected to speak over the phone on Monday.

Iran obtaining IAEA documents is 'bad', shows poor cooperation, Grossi says
VIENNA, June 9 (Reuters) - Iran's acquisition of confidential U.N. nuclear watchdog documents is a 'bad' step that goes against the spirit of cooperation that should exist between the agency and Tehran, its chief Rafael Grossi said on Monday. The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a confidential report on Iran to member states on May 31 seen by Reuters that it had "conclusive evidence of highly confidential documents belonging to the Agency having been actively collected and analysed by Iran". The report said that "raises serious concerns regarding Iran's spirit of collaboration" and could undermine the IAEA's work in Iran, but Tehran said in a statement to member states last week that the accusation in the report was "slanderous" and had been made "without presenting any substantiated proof or document". The IAEA's 35-nation Board of Governors is holding a quarterly meeting this week. The United States, Britain, France and Germany plan to propose a resolution for the board to adopt that would declare Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations over other failings outlined in the report. "Here, unfortunately, and this dates to a few years ago ... we could determine with all clarity that documents that belong to the agency were in the hands of Iranian authorities, which is bad," Grossi told a press conference. "We believe that an action like this is not compatible with the spirit of cooperation." Asked about the nature of the documents and whether they were originally Iranian ones that had been seized by Israel and supplied to the agency, Grossi said: "No. We received documents from member states, and also we have our own assessments on documents, on equipment, etc."

Iran says it will release Israeli nuclear secrets as pressure grows to reimpose sanctions
Iran has has said it will soon start releasing information from a treasure trove of Israeli nuclear secrets it claims to have obtained, as European countries push for a vote this week on reimposing UN sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme. The unverified claims by Iranian intelligence of a massive leak of Israeli secrets may be designed to turn the focus away from what Iran argues is its own excessively monitored civil nuclear programme. On Sunday, Iran's intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, claimed Tehran had obtained 'a vast collection of strategic and sensitive [Israeli] documents, including plans and data on the nuclear facilities'. He added evidence would be released shortly, and implied some of the documentation was linked to Israel's arrest of two Israeli nationals, Roi Mizrahi and Almog Attias. Even within Iran there is scepticism that Iranian agents will have obtained such dramatic intelligence. The claim may be designed to warn off Israel from acting on its repeated threat to bomb Iran's nuclear sites since Iranian insight into Israel's own nuclear programme would increase the risk of effective Iranian reprisals. European powers are preparing to press for a vote at the quarterly board meeting of the nuclear inspectorate the IAEA in Vienna, which starts on Monday, that could lead to the reimposition of UN sanctions in October. France, Germany and the UK will cite a 20-page comprehensive report commissioned from the IAEA secretariat on Iran's failure to comply with the nuclear deal agreed in 2015, and Tehran's years-long failure to answer questions about aspects of its previous nuclear programme. Members of the IAEA board will be asked to study a report showing Iran has enriched 400kg of uranium to a purity of 60%, close to weapons-grade, and judged to be enough to make 10 nuclear bombs. Moreover, the Iranian stockpile of uranium has increased by 50% since the last report in March. The three leading European powers will cite the report in calling for a motion declaring Iran is in violation of its safeguards obligations, the first such finding since 2005, and the necessary precursor to reimposing UN sanctions in October when the 2015 deal expires. Due to the way that deal was framed, Russia and China cannot veto the reimposition of UN sanctions. Iran has already threatened counter-measures if the IAEA board says Iran is in breach, likely to include a further cutback to access by UN weapons inspectors, and a further speeding up of enrichment. Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson for Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said that since the last time the IAEA board censured Tehran Iran had increased 60% enriched uranium production sevenfold and launched 20 cascades of advanced centrifuges. If the motion is passed, the French, Germans, and British then have until 18 October to determine whether they wish to reimpose the sanctions provided for in the 2015 deal. The Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has warned: 'Falsely accusing Iran of violating safeguards – based on shoddy and politicised reporting – is clearly designed to produce a crisis. Mark my words, as Europe ponders another major strategic mistake, Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights. Blame lies solely and fully with irresponsible actors who stop at nothing to gain relevance.' The US and Iran have yet to name a new date for the resumption of bilateral talks on Iran's nuclear programme, focused on whether Iran should be permitted continue to enrich uranium domestically, an issue that Iran sees as central to its sovereignty. The US, in public at least, insists enrichment must stop altogether as the only sure way of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Donald Trump has shown a surprising willingness to cut a deal with Iran, despite in 2018 taking the US out of the nuclear deal, which was signed with Iran by his predecessor, Barack Obama. The US president has reportedly set a 60-day deadline for the talks, which expires on 11 June, and has accused Iran of slow-walking the process, though previous Trump deadlines have turned out to be flexible. Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, has said he believes both the US and Iran are sincere in seeking to seal a deal on Iran's nuclear programme. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has offered to act as an intermediary, and Russia could be the destination for Iran's growing stockpile of uranium if an agreement was reached. One proposal is for Iran to suspend its enrichment programme temporarily, something it did before in 2004-05.
