Nuclear Negotiations in Vienna

Khatibzadeh stressed that Iran is not a minor actor. “We are a nation of 90 million with a civilizational depth that cannot be compared to a militarized apartheid entity like Israel,” he said.

Rejecting claims that Iran’s response to recent attacks was weak, he said Iran’s decision to strike a U.S. base in Qatar — not via proxy, but directly — sent a calculated message of deterrence. “We know how to end aggression and are prepared for unpredictable responses if national security is threatened,” he added.

Khatibzadeh also warned that Europe now stands culturally and morally “exposed” and risks irrelevance in Iran diplomacy. “Europe may play its final strategic card. If mishandled, it will lose all leverage on Iran permanently,” he warned.

He reiterated that Iran remains committed to peaceful nuclear activities and is operating with full transparency under IAEA safeguards.

IAEA Grossi

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, speaking to Fars News Agency, stated that “Grossi betrayed both the IAEA, which operates under the United Nations, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Referring to the IAEA’s many previous reports confirming the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, he said: “Grossi submitted a false and suspicious report to the IAEA Board of Governors. Based on that report, the Board issued a resolution against Iran, which then gave the Zionist regime a pretext to launch its attack.”

Boroujerdi continued: “We must file a complaint against Grossi for the major lie he told, which led to this crisis in the region.”

He added: “Under the NPT, the IAEA is responsible for safeguarding Iran’s nuclear facilities. Yet Grossi, as the Director General, did not even condemn the Zionist and American strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. We have no assurance that they will not attack our facilities again.”

The veteran MP reiterated the Islamic Republic’s firm opposition to the production of nuclear weapons, stressing: “We are committed both to the IAEA’s regulations and to the NPT, and this stance is further reinforced by the authoritative fatwa of the Supreme Leader banning nuclear weapons.”

US Attack Iran

The Center addressed circulating claims on social media suggesting the use of depleted uranium munitions by the aggressor.

“We inform the honorable people of Iran that our investigations to date have revealed no signs of depleted uranium use,” the statement said.

The Center clarified that depleted uranium, known for its high density and armor-piercing capabilities, is typically employed in specialized munitions fired from tanks or aircraft to enhance warhead penetration.

The statement comes amid growing concerns over the humanitarian and environmental impacts of the the recent United States’ and Israeli regime’s aggression, particularly following reports of advanced munitions used in attacks targeting both military and civilian infrastructure.

Following recent hostilities and the temporary closure of Iran’s airspace due to security concerns stemming from U.S. and Israeli attacks, Amirani confirmed that the country’s aviation infrastructure is rapidly returning to full operational capacity.

“Thanks to the swift action of our specialists, damaged airport facilities were restored to operational status in record time,” he stated.

He further noted that the eastern air corridor of the country is now fully open, while flight operations in the western region are safely active from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily.

Amirani emphasized that the nation’s radar, navigation, and surveillance systems are in full operational condition and fully prepared to ensure the safe management of all flights.

Iran had temporarily restricted its airspace in response to security risks following coordinated missile and drone strikes by the Israeli regime and the United States, citing the safety of passengers and civil aviation as a top priority.

General Mousavi praised Qatar as a close and friendly nation, expressing appreciation for Doha’s firm stance in condemning recent aggressions against Iran. He also acknowledged Qatar’s continued support for the Palestinian cause.

Highlighting Iran’s position during the recent 12-day conflict, General Mousavi stated that Iran’s legitimacy and defensive actions were supported by Muslims and freedom-seekers worldwide, revealing the disregard of international norms by the US and Israel.

He emphasized that US forces fully backed Israel with intelligence and logistics, yet Iran’s military stood firm against aggression and responded decisively with full force.

Al Attiyah extended condolences for the martyrdom of General Bagheri and other commanders, reiterating Qatar’s condemnation of Israeli attacks.

He stressed that Qatar would not allow its airspace or territory to be used for war and reaffirmed its commitment to diplomacy and peaceful solutions.

Both sides agreed to enhance bilateral military and defense cooperation moving forward.

Senior journalist slams Iranian president for interview with Tucker Carlson

Masoud Pezeshkian

In the interview, President Pezeshkian addressed Iran’s stance on nuclear cooperation, regional tensions with Israel, and the possibility of renewing talks with the US. He stated that Iran had “no problem with negotiations” and expressed hope for a return to diplomacy after recent conflict with Israel and the US.

Shariatmadari rebuked these comments, calling them inconsistent with the country’s declared policies and accusing the president of echoing the views of “pro-Western advisors rather than those of the Iran.”

He specifically criticized President Pezeshkian’s remarks that the Islamic authorities’ fatwa was not directed at individuals like US president, stating instead that figures such as Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fall under the fatwa and should face capital punishment.

He further questioned the president’s logic in hoping to resume negotiations with the US, which, he reminded, was complicit in Israeli attacks on Iran.

“Why return to talks with those who ‘blew up the negotiation table’?” Shariatmadari asked.

Salehiyeh wetland identified as main source of Tehran’s dust pollution crisis

Reza Shahbazi attributed the persistent air pollution to intensifying drought, regional winds, and the activation of domestic dust hotspots.

Salehiyeh Wetland, located southwest of Tehran near the borders of Alborz and Qazvin provinces, was once a seasonal wetland supporting wildlife and migratory birds. It has now dried up due to declining rainfall, excessive groundwater extraction, dam construction, and agricultural expansion, transforming into an active dust emission zone during southern and southwestern winds.

Dust storms in Iran are not new, but their frequency, severity, and geographical spread have significantly increased over the past two decades.

External sources of dust include Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, while internal sources span regions like Khuzestan, Sistan and Baluchestan, and now areas near Tehran.

Experts warn that ongoing climate change, poor water management, and shrinking wetlands continue to fuel this growing environmental and public health crisis.

Nearly half a million undocumented Afghans exit Iran via Dogharoun border

The figures, released by the deputy for security and law enforcement at Khorasan Razavi Governorate, show that approximately 180,000 of these individuals were from Khorasan Razavi Province, bordering Afghanistan, alone.

The official added that 80% of those departing from Khorasan Razavi had come forward voluntarily, registering themselves for repatriation.

Afghan migration to Iran has a long history, stretching back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Major influxes have typically aligned with internal unrest in Afghanistan, including the civil wars, the Soviet invasion in 1980, and more recently, the Taliban’s return to power.

The latest wave has been the largest to date, leading to intensified movement across Iran’s eastern borders.

Shared cultural, linguistic, and geographical ties have made Iran a natural destination for Afghan refugees over the decades. However, Iranian authorities have increasingly sought to regulate undocumented migration, citing economic and security concerns.
Efforts to repatriate unauthorized residents have accelerated in recent months.

Speaking on the TV program “Tehran 20”, Ohadi said as of Monday evening, 1,060 martyrs have been buried across the country.

Ohadi further explained that, considering the number of injured people currently in intensive care units whose identities may not yet be fully confirmed, the total number of martyrs could approach 1,100.

The Zionist regime waged war on Iran on June 13. Soon after the war started, Iran began fighting back fiercely, firing large numbers of missiles at cities across occupied Palestine, notably Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Iran’s retaliatory strikes caused casualties among Israeli and heavy material damage including to military sites.

Iran’s Islamic Propagation Organization denies offering bounty on Trump

The organization’s head of public relations Ali Moradkhani said on X, “With all due respect to the anti-arrogance sentiments of the dear people of Iran and their heartfelt wish to hear news of the death of General Qassem Soleimani’s killer, we must make it clear that the Islamic Propagation Organization has no program or plan involving a bounty or similar action as circulating online”.

Moradkhani added that remarks made by the director general of the West Azarbaijan provincial office were not reflective of the organization’s national stance.

“His comments refer to decisions made by local grassroots groups in the province, not by the organization itself”, he stressed.

Earlier, Mr. Emami, head of the Islamic Propagation Organization in West Azarbaijan Province, had declared whoever brings the head of Trump, he will be offered a reward of 100 billion tomans.

Iranians including clerics became highly angry after Trump insulted Iran’s Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei during the Zionist regime’s war on Iran and he, along with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, threatened to kill the leader.

Following the threat, two Shia religious authorities in Iran issued a fatwa, warning that anyone, be it Trump or Netanyahu, attempting to murder Ayatollah Khamenei as a Shia Marja’a (source of emulation) is mohareb (someone waging war against God), and being a mohareb is punishable by death.
