IAEA board finds Iran in breach of nuclear obligations
'The IAEA Board of Governors just two days ago, but it is really very serious, it basically said that for the first time in 20 years, Iran was not compliant with its responsibilities under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,' Mr Parmeter told Sky News Australia.
'That could possibly be seen as the trigger for Israel for the prime minister to decide to launch the attacks.'

Iran says UN nuclear watchdog official will visit country for talks
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A senior official from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog will fly to Iran for talks today, but no visit to nuclear sites is planned, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. Since Israel launched its first military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites during a 12-day war in June, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been unable to access Iran's facilities, despite IAEA chief Rafael Grossi stating that inspections remain his top priority. Iran has accused the agency of effectively paving the way for the bombings by issuing a damning report on May 31, which led the IAEA's 35-nation Board of Governors to declare Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. (Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP) Iran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, said it remained committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). "Negotiations with the IAEA will be held tomorrow to determine a framework for cooperation," Araghchi said on his Telegram account. "A Deputy Director General of Grossi will come to Tehran tomorrow, while there are no plans to visit any nuclear sites until we reach a framework."

(Maxar Technologies via AP) (AP) Last month, Iran enacted a law passed by parliament suspending cooperation with the IAEA. The law stipulates that any future inspection of Iran's nuclear sites by the IAEA needs approval by Tehran's Supreme National Security Council.

'National pride': Iran won't stop nuclear enrichment
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran cannot give up on its uranium enrichment program, which was severely damaged during the recent Israel-Iran war. Prior to the war in June, 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. "It 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," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News. "And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride." The foreign minister said the damage to the nuclear facilities in Iran after US 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 Tehran was open to talks with Washington, but those will not be direct "for the time being". US ally Israel attacked Iran on June 13 and the Middle Eastern rivals then engaged in an air war for 12 days in which Washington also bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. A ceasefire was reached in late June. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Israel is not. The UN nuclear watchdog says it has "no credible indication" of an active, co-ordinated weapons program in Iran. Tehran maintains its nuclear program is solely meant for civilian purposes. Israel is the only Middle Eastern country believed to have nuclear weapons and said its war against Iran was aimed to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons.
