Iranian lawmaker says reimposition of UN sanctions will lead to NPT withdrawal: Report

LBCI5 days ago
Iran's parliament is ready to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should international sanctions be reimposed by the United Nations, Iranian lawmaker Manouchehr Mottaki told Defapress on Wednesday.
This comment comes after European countries expressed their will to reimpose international sanctions on Iran to the U.N., which they say they can do by invoking the U.N. snapback mechanism prior to its expiration in October.

Beirut Port victims' families denounce smear campaign against William Noun, warn of attempts to obstruct investigation

The Beirut Port blast victims' families committee condemned what it described as 'smear campaigns' against William Noun, a relative of one of the victims, after he was accused of crimes including 'collaborating with the enemy' and 'inciting sectarian strife.' In a statement, the committee said these allegations were 'fabricated by the same parties that had previously threatened and obstructed the investigation,' stressing that such claims 'have nothing to do with reality and raise serious questions about their timing.' The committee reaffirmed that the probe into 'the largest explosion in history' must remain free of 'politically motivated maneuvers by those seeking to silence victims' families through intimidation and false charges.' It also warned against 'the dangerous implications of these actions,' noting that the judge overseeing the interrogation of Noun, Judge Sabouh Sleiman, was the same magistrate who had previously taken what the families called 'unjustified measures' in the port case, including suspending an arrest warrant against former minister and defendant Youssef Fenianos.

Lebanese PM Salam meets Tom Barrack, urges US to push Israel to halt hostilities

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam reaffirmed that Cabinet decisions stem from Lebanon's national interest, stressing the need for the United States to press Israel to halt hostilities, withdraw from the five disputed points, and release detainees. His remarks came during a meeting with U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, accompanied by Deputy Mission Adviser to the United Nations Morgan Ortagus and U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson. Salam underlined the priority of strengthening and equipping the Lebanese Armed Forces to enable them to carry out their duties effectively. He also emphasized the importance of renewing the mandate of UNIFIL, given its role in supporting stability and assisting the army in extending state authority in the south. The prime minister further called for a clear international commitment to convene a conference in support of Lebanon's reconstruction and economic recovery. Discussions also touched on developments in Syria, where Salam highlighted the need to preserve unity and reinforce stability. Barrack offered condolences over the recent deaths of Lebanese soldiers in the south and commended the government's latest decisions.

A Hamas official said the movement has agreed to the proposal. The source added that the suspension of operations would include the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of half of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Reuters
