Ulyanov criticizes negative approach of Western countries towards Iran's nuclear program
Russia's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, criticized the "passive" approach of Western countries towards Iran's nuclear activities.
Ulyanov said at a press conference: "In fact, we must admit that Western countries are pressuring Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty."
Ulyanov's remarks follow a report by Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on Iran's high levels of uranium enrichment and the concerns expressed by Western countries.
In his opening remarks at the previous meeting of the Board of Governors, Grossi claimed that "since the previous report, Iran's reserves of uranium up to 60% purity U-235 have increased from 182 kilograms in the previous quarter to 275 kilograms."

German Foreign Minister: Israel Faces Growing Diplomatic Isolation Over Gaza War
Berlin – Saba: German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated on Thursday that Israel is facing increasing diplomatic isolation due to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the growing international push for recognition of a Palestinian state. In a statement, Baerbock emphasized that the recent UN conference on Palestine—which the United States and Israel boycotted—demonstrates that Israel is increasingly "finding itself in the minority." On Wednesday, 15 Western countries, including France, Canada, and Australia (both G20 members), issued a joint appeal recognizing a Palestinian state and demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Other signatories to the statement included: - Andorra, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, and Spain. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued its genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in: - 60,249 Palestinian civilians killed (mostly women and children) - 147,089 injured (figures remain incomplete as thousands remain trapped under rubble, unreachable by rescue teams).

IAEA technical team to visit Iran soon
New York - Saba: Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, announced that a technical team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will visit Tehran within the next two to three weeks to discuss cooperation between Iran and the agency. According to Iran's IRNA news agency on Wednesday, Gharibabadi told American journalists that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is currently assessing the damage caused to Iranian nuclear facilities by Israeli and American attacks. He described the upcoming meeting on Friday between Iran and the three European countries as "very important," stating that representatives of the European trio had contacted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi days earlier, expressing their eagerness to find a way to manage the situation. Regarding negotiations with the U.S., he emphasized the importance of preparing for the sixth round, including ensuring that Iran is not attacked during the talks. Both sides must agree that the outcome of any deal should benefit both countries. On the trigger mechanism, he affirmed: "We have not made any decision to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). We have obligations, but how we implement these obligations under the new circumstances requires fresh discussions with the IAEA." He pointed to the law passed by the Iranian parliament suspending cooperation with the IAEA, setting two conditions for resuming collaboration: ensuring the safety , security of nuclear facilities and their personnel. "We are in contact with the agency," he added, noting that Iran has agreed to host a technical team to discuss a new framework for Iran-IAEA relations under the current circumstances. When asked about the upcoming meeting between Iran and the European trio (E3), Gharibabadi stated that they had agreed to hold talks in Istanbul to address diplomatic issues, the trigger mechanism, and recent European statements. "We will, of course, present our positions," he said. He stressed that "the trigger mechanism is an illegal measure from our perspective and holds no legal standing. Seven years have passed, and the nuclear deal has not been implemented, especially after the Europeans suspended their commitments following the U.S. withdrawal. Now, what do they want to say? Do they want to ask why Iran hasn't fulfilled its commitments? Have they fulfilled theirs?" Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
