His remarks came during a gathering of the Iranian sports community in front of the United Nations office in Tehran, where participants protested against the aggression and crimes committed by the occupying Israeli regime against Iran.

During the gathering, Taj expressed that the spontaneous request from the sports community was to condemn Israel’s recent actions and demand its exclusion from international sporting events.

“When the Israeli regime aggressively violates all rules, killing our military commanders, children, and athletes in their sleep while attacking residential areas, it motivates our people to come together, regardless of their opinions,” he stated, emphasizing that significant efforts are underway.

He added, “This victory ultimately belongs to our beloved country. The government, the people, and commanders are seriously pursuing necessary actions. We had the upcoming Asian Women’s Football Championship, and we requested the AFC to postpone the matches, which they approved.”

Iran’s UN envoy criticizes IAEA head for bias, inaction amid Israeli attacks

Rafael Grossi

In a formally lodged letter addressed to the UN Secretary General and the President of the Security Council, Iravani criticized Grossi for his bias and lack of action in response to aggressive attacks by Israel against Iran, noting these violate the principle of neutrality required by his position.

Iravani pointed out Grossi’s public statements failed to acknowledge Iran’s legitimate peaceful nuclear activities.

He also noted that Grossi did not comply with the IAEA’s legal obligations regarding Israel’s actions toward Iran, asserting that such remarks undermine the integrity of the agency and reflect a lack of impartiality.

Iravani highlighted Grossi’s inadequate response to Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which are under international safeguards, and his failure to condemn such actions, contrary to obligations outlined in IAEA resolutions.

Furthermore, Iravani pointed out a pattern of selective bias in Grossi’s approach toward Iran’s nuclear agenda, arguing that this contradicts the IAEA’s commitments to protecting its safeguards.

Calling on the Security Council to address this issue, Iravani stated that Grossi’s continued silence on Israel’s threats implies complicity regarding aggressive actions against Iran.

He urged that the letter be distributed as a document of the Security Council, reinforcing Iran’s commitment to its rights and sovereignty while advocating for a balanced handling of issues surrounding its nuclear program.

Abbas Araghchi

Araghchi, in an interview in Geneva following talks with top European diplomats, said Iran is ready to negotiate but insisted that Israel first must halt its aerial attacks.

Regarding if a deal with the US could be reached within the two-week time, he said it was up to the Donald Trump administration “to show their determination for going for a negotiated solution.”

“Or they have something else in their mind, and they want to attack Iran anyway,” he continued.

The foreign minister suggested that the US “perhaps have this plan and they just needed negotiations perhaps to cover it up,” referring to Israeli air attacks

He added Iran does not know if the US can be trusted anymore and called the Trump administration’s actions a “betrayal to diplomacy.”

US intelligence ‘wrong’ about Iran not building atomic bomb: Trump

Donald Trump

The comments come after Trump earlier this week cast doubt on Tulsi Gabbard’s March 25 report to Congress, in which she reiterated the US intelligence community’s assessment. On Tuesday, Trump told reporters, “I don’t care” that the intelligence community’s finding contradicted his own claims, saying Iran was in the late stages of developing a nuclear weapon.

But speaking on Friday, Trump went further.

A reporter asked, “What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community said they have no evidence.”

The president responded, “Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?”

“Your DNI [director of national intelligence], Tulsi Gabbard,” the reporter replied.

“She’s wrong,” Trump said.

Gabbard appeared to come to Trump’s defence later on Friday.

“America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly,” she wrote in a social media post.

“President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.”

However, that statement does not contradict her earlier assessment that Iran is not building a weapon. No known US intelligence assessment concludes that Iran is weaponising its nuclear programme.

Speaking on Friday, Trump also appeared to downplay the prospect of the US brokering a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, saying he “might” support such a deal, while adding, “Israel’s doing well in terms of war, and I think you would say that Iran is doing less well.”

“It’s hard to make that request right now. When someone’s winning, it’s harder than when they’re losing,” he continued.

Trump on Thursday stated he would take two weeks to decide the US response to the conflict. Experts say the decision would likely be transformative.

The US is seen as one of the few countries with the leverage to pressure Israel to step back from the brink of wider-scale regional war.

At the same time, the involvement of the US military is seen as key to Israel’s stated mission of completely dismantling Iran’s nuclear programme, which hinges on destroying the underground Fordow enrichment plant.

A successful attack on the facility would require both Washington’s 30,000-pound (13,000kg) GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator and the B-2 bombers needed to deliver it.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump also downplayed the potential role of European countries in de-escalating the situation. That came hours after Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi met the top diplomats from France, the UK, Germany and the EU in Geneva.

“Or they have something else in their mind, and they want to attack Iran anyway,” Araghchi said in an interview with NBC News in Geneva, where he took part in talks earlier Friday with his European counterparts.

“So they had perhaps this plan and they just needed negotiations perhaps to cover it up,” the minister stated.

“We don’t know how we can trust them any more,” Araghchi continued, adding, “What they did was in fact a betrayal to diplomacy.”

For months, the Donald Trump administration had been engaged in talks to reach a nuclear accord with Iran. But that process was suspended after Israel launched its attacks against Iran, shortly before a new round of nuclear negotiations were scheduled in Oman.

He was speaking after a meeting in Geneva with the foreign ministers of the three European countries (France, Germany, and the UK) and the EU’s foreign policy chief.

“We had serious discussions with the Europeans today (but) as long as the Zionist regime continues its attacks, we will not enter negotiations with any other sides”, the top Iranian diplomat noted. He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to its legitimate right to self-defense, saying the country will continue to respond to aggression as long as it is necessary.

Araghchi also expressed concern over the international community’s failure to condemn Tel Aviv’s brutal attacks, slamming the silence as “deeply worrying”.

He added, “We support continued dialogue with the E3 and the EU and we are prepared for another round of talks in the near future”.

Iran’s Cyber Security Command: Enemy C4I system disrupted in ongoing cyber operations

The statement said the counter measures include the disruption of enemy command and control infrastructure (C4I).

According to the statement, since the beginning of the Zionist regime’s attack, Iran has been the target of multiple cyber assaults on its critical infrastructure like the banking system and internet services. However, the resilience of domestic networks has been largely maintained, thanks to the continuous efforts of Iranian cyber security experts.

Iran’s Cyber Security Command highlighted several key achievements including blocking the majority of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, restricting access for hostile hacker groups attempting data theft or service disruption, partial collapse of the enemy’s C4I structure near active military zones and damage to enemy data collection networks used for targeted operations.

The statement added that other successful countermeasures remain classified due to wartime security concerns.

 

It also issued a warning to groups collaborating with the Zionist enemy, saying they have been identified and will be held accountable.

Iran determined to defend itself against Israeli attacks: FM

Abbas Araghchi

Araqchi said on Friday at a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva:Currently, Iran, a country with a population of 100 million, is the target of blatant aggression by a regime that for two years has committed horrific genocide in Palestine and occupied the lands of neighboring countries.

The foreign minister stated: Israel has launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, in clear violation of the UN Charter and with blatant disregard for all principles and rules that this council defends.

Araqchi added: Hundreds of Iranian people have been killed and wounded as a result of Israel’s surprise armed attacks and terrorist operations targeting residential areas, public infrastructure, hospitals, and medical centers. Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, despite being under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and despite international law strictly prohibiting attacks on such facilities, have also been targeted.

He said Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, considering the risk of environmental and health disasters caused by radioactive material leakage, constitute major war crimes.

The Foreign Minister stated: Iran is under a ruthless act of aggression. This obvious fact must not be distorted by Israel and its supporters. Israel’s aggression against Iran cannot and must not be justified by any legal or moral standards. Any justification for this unjust and criminal war amounts to complicity in the crime.

He added: Israel commits war crimes and crimes against humanity. International humanitarian law, already severely weakened by Israel’s ruthless crimes in occupied Palestine and elsewhere, is now under even graver threat due to Israel’s blatant violations of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.

He said the consequences of this aggressive war will not be limited to any single country. The entire region and beyond will be affected. But more than that, the entire international legal system based on the United Nations will be gravely endangered.

Iran announces 17th wave of combined strikes against Zionist regime's military targets

According to the statement, the strikes hit multiple locations, including military command and control centers, defense industry complexes, support companies involved in the Zionist regime’s military operations, and air bases such as Nevatim and Hatzerim.

The attack was described as a response to the Zionist regime’s long-standing aggression against the people of Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and its ongoing war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The statement noted that the ballistic missile strikes on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba were accurate, underscoring the escalating offensive capability of the nation’s missile arsenal aimed at deterring further acts of aggression by the ruling criminal gang in Tel Aviv.

The statement also praised the unity and resolve of the Iranian people, both domestically and abroad, as well as the solidarity expressed by resistance movements, religious leaders, and free nations worldwide, which it said has strengthened the morale and determination of Iran’s armed forces.
