Iran’s parliament says weighing suspension of cooperation with IAEA

“Majlis (the Iranian Parliament) is drafting a plan to suspend cooperation with the agency until tangible guarantees regarding the professional attitude of this international organization are received,” Qalibaf said during an open session of the parliament.

Pointing to a religious decree by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that prohibits nuclear weapons, the top lawmaker reiterated that Iran has no plans for non-peaceful use of nuclear energy.

“But the world clearly saw that the IAEA has failed to uphold its commitments and has become a political instrument,” he stressed, holding the UN nuclear agency responsible for the Israeli and American aggression against the Islamic Republic that started on June 13.

He added the US made another “strategic mistake” in its all-out support for the criminal Zionist regime, and that Washington’s “direct” involvement in Israel’s acts of aggression against Iran exposed the Tel Aviv regime’s inability to counter the Islamic Republic.

Iran regards the US’s “engagement in a war” on the Islamic Republic, which, Qalibaf said, is “intolerable,” as an indication of the Israeli regime’s “strategic failure in achieving its goals.”

“We will definitely respond in a way that will make gambler [US President Donald] Trump regret this act of aggression,” Qalibaf warned, only hours before Iranian armed forces pounded the US military base Al-Udeid in Qatar with a barrage of ballistic missiles.

The Iranian parliament speaker added the armed forces’ solid defense of the country and the nation’s full support have neutralized the Israeli-US military plot against the country.

In a social media post on Sunday morning, Trump himself claimed responsibility for the act of aggression against Iranian nuclear sites that violated international law.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump declared.

In another decisive response to the US aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, the Iranian Parliament on Sunday voted to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

A member of the Parliament’s committee on national security and foreign policy, Esmaeil Kowsari, said on Sunday that the Majlis has agreed to close the key artery for global energy trade in response to the US aggression and the silence of the international community.

The Strait of Hormuz, situated at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is one of the most critical chokepoints in global trade, with roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil passing through it.

Israel and Iran agree to ceasefire amid waves of missile attacks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday morning that Israel had agreed to the truce proposal announced by United States President Donald Trump overnight.

Earlier, Iranian state television reported that the ceasefire had begun.

The Israeli statement came not long after Trump had stated in a post on social media that the ceasefire was under way.

“The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!” he noted.

While Netanyahu threatened that Israel would respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire, the agreement raises hopes for a de-escalation in a conflict that intensified dramatically in recent days, as the US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities and Tehran attacked an American base in Qatar.

“In light of the achievement of the objectives of the operation, and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the President’s proposal for a bilateral ceasefire,” he added.

A fragile peace appeared to take hold early on Tuesday, with reports of hostilities ceasing following six waves of missile launches by Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi implied the strikes were launched just before a 07.30 GMT deadline announced by Trump.

“The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute,” he wrote on social media.

Several people were killed in the attacks, emergency services and the Israeli military confirmed. Not long afterwards, Israelis were told they could leave missile shelters, and no further launches have been reported.

Evin Prison

“Evin prison is not a military objective, and targeting it constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law,” UN human rights spokesperson Thameen al-Kheetan told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday, without naming Israel.

People were killed and injured in the strike, according to Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir, who did not give details about the number of victims.

The judicial news outlet Mizan has reported that inmates held in Evin Prison have been transferred to other sites in Tehran province.

US Iran Attack

In a statement honoring the memory of fallen commanders and other victims of Zionist regime’s aggression, the IRGC chief announced that, in retaliation for Washington’s “criminal and unjustified aggression” against Iranian territory, IRGC forces launched a strategic missile strike on the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the main command center for US military operations in West Asia.

“This operation, carried out with the help of Almighty God, inflicted damage on a facility that is considered one of the most highly protected US installations in the region”, the IRGC commander said.

He described the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites as a clear act of support for the illegitimate and child-killing Zionist regime.

Addressing the US president, he said, “To the foolish and reckless president of the US, who has put the lives and security of the American people at risk for the survival of a cursed regime, we warn if you repeat this aggression against the sacred soil of Iran and the Islamic Republic, you will face even more crushing and regret-inducing retaliation, the kind that will serve as a lesson for history”.

Iranian defense minister to Russian counterpart: Tehran will punish aggressor with full force

Nasirzadeh’s remarks came during a phone call initiated by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, who declared Moscow’s solidarity with Tehran amid the Zionist regime’s aggression against Iran. Shoigu extended condolences over the martyrdom of senior Iranian military commanders and civilians, saying the attack on Iranian territory under the pretext of nuclear concerns was merely a cover.

“Their actual goal is to weaken the Islamic Republic and spread unrest throughout the region”, Shoigu said.

He added that Russia continues to monitor all developments and supports Iran.

Nasirzadeh thanked Russia for its clear stance on the issue stressing that this is not just a war as the US and certain other countries are actively supporting the Zionist regime.

He noted that Iran’s decision is clear and “we will punish the aggressor with all our power, and we reject any form of imposed peace”.

The Iranian defense chief further asserted that the root-cause of regional instability is the US.

He added that Iran and Russia can work together to strengthen peace and stability across the region and the world.

Iran Missile

According to the statement, the number of missiles used in the retaliatory strike matched the number of bombs dropped by American forces during their attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure.

The targeted US military base was carefully selected to ensure it was well away from Qatari urban areas and civilian populations, and the operation was carried out in a manner designed to avoid endangering the people and territory of Qatar, it added.

“This action posed no threat to our brotherly and friendly nation of Qatar or its honorable citizens”, the statement underlined.

It also reaffirmed that Iran remains committed to preserving its strong and historic relations with Qatar.

The Supreme National Security Council also reiterated Iran’s right to self-defense under international law and underscored that any future violations of its sovereignty will be met with decisive and proportionate responses.

Iran’s armed forces announce missile strike on US Al-Udeid base in Qatar

The IRGC dubbed the operation “Besharat Fath” (Glad Tidings of Victory). Al-Udeid, home to the US Air Force’s Central Command and considered Washington’s largest strategic military installation in West Asia, was described by Iranian commanders as a “strategic vulnerability” rather than an asset.

“The clear message to the White House and its allies is “the Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty and the steadfast will of its people, will never leave any violation of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national security unanswered,” the statement declared.

The statement said the US is the architect behind the Zionist aggression, stressing that US military positions in the region have now become Achilles’ heels of US strategy, vulnerable to further retaliation.

It also warned that any further miscalculation by the US will result in accelerated collapse of US military presence in the region and humiliation for its forces, and will bring the Muslim world closer to the shared aspiration of eliminating the Zionist regime.

“The era of ‘hit and run’ is over”, the statement added.

US assault gives Iranian armed forces ‘free hand’ for any retaliatory action: Top general

Abdulrahim Mousavi

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi made the remarks in a message issued on Monday in response to the US aggression targeting three nuclear sites located in north-central and central Iran on Sunday.

“The criminal United States must know that it has given the Armed Forces’ warriors a free hand to take any action against its interests and military,” he stated.

In addition to providing the forces with full discretion with regard to pending reprisal, the US has opened up an endless range of options that the Islamic Republic could adopt towards “punishing its illegitimate and aggressive offspring,” he added, referring to the Israeli regime.

“In this regard, we will never back down,” Major General Mousavi noted.

The Israeli regime launched unprovoked aggression on the Islamic Republic last Friday, with American backing, assassinating several top-ranking military commanders, scientists and many other ordinary civilians, including women and children.

After more than a week, the US decided to finally make it official with direct intervention in the war that the Israeli regime has been losing.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, the US launched unlawful strikes against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in a clear violation of international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

IMF chief sees threats to economies from US attacks on Iran

International Monetary Fund (IMF)

The weekend strikes amplified what Kristalina Georgieva called an already “highly uncertain environment.”

The IMF is watching for further upward impact on oil and natural gas prices and for any disruption to global energy supplies from the conflict in the oil-rich Middle East, she told Bloomberg TV.

But beyond those two main risks, “there could be secondary and tertiary impact,” Georgieva said.

“Let’s say there is more turbulence that goes into hitting growth prospects of large economies, and then you have a trigger impact in a downward revision of prospects for global growth.”

“When you look at the probabilities, still there is a higher probability that (the) US in this year may avoid recession. But please, let’s not rock the boat any further,” Georgieva added.

Those large economies include the US where the IMF sees a nearly 40% chance risk of recession this year, based on its latest forecasts, released in April. This estimate is gloomier than the fund’s previous projection, published in October, before dramatic tariff increases announced by the Trump administration.

“The more there is uncertainty, the more there is volatility, the worse it is for business. When there is uncertainty, what happens? Investors don’t invest, consumers don’t consume and that holds growth prospects down,” she continued.

Over 10,000 spy drones discovered in Tehran; Zionist espionage cells dismantled

According to the report, a major drone deployment network was identified and dismantled earlier on Monday in the northwestern mountains of Tehran.

A spokesperson for Iran’s Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) confirmed that a large cache of drone control and navigation equipment was seized during the operation. Investigations suggest that many recent assassinations targeting Iranian scientists and academics were carried out using these miniature drones.

Authorities also reported that a significant number of foreign mercenaries and infiltrators have been arrested in recent days through intelligence operations and public tip-offs.

Some of those arrested are said to have been involved in acts of psychological warfare, including tire burnings, igniting dry vegetation, and the use of sound bombs in an attempt to incite panic.
