Iran: Cooperation with IAEA to Take a 'New Form' - Jordan News

Jordan News20 hours ago
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Saturday that Tehran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will 'take on a new form,' following Iran's formal suspension of its previous cooperation with the U.N. watchdog. اضافة اعلان Speaking to a group of foreign diplomats gathered in Tehran, Araghchi clarified: 'Our cooperation with the agency has not ceased, but it will now follow a new approach. The IAEA's requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account safety and security considerations.' Despite recent Israeli and American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Araghchi reiterated Iran's commitment to a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear issue: 'Iran is ready to rebuild trust through diplomacy. However, our counterparts must first convince us that their interest in diplomacy is genuine—and not a cover for hidden agendas.' Warning Over Snapback Mechanism Araghchi also warned against reactivating the 'snapback' mechanism, a clause within the 2015 nuclear deal that allows for the reimposition of international sanctions if Iran is deemed non-compliant with its nuclear commitments. He cautioned: 'If this mechanism is triggered, it will mark the end of Europe's role in the Iranian nuclear file.' Background The snapback mechanism, enshrined in UN Security Council Resolution 2231, enables any party to the 2015 nuclear accord (JCPOA) to initiate the automatic reinstatement of U.N. sanctions should Iran violate its obligations. Tensions between Tehran and Western powers have escalated in recent months amid suspicions over Iran's nuclear activities and a shift in Iran's posture following attacks on its facilities.
While Iran claims its nuclear program is peaceful, Western nations remain concerned about potential weaponization. Araghchi's remarks signal a more guarded and selective cooperation with the IAEA moving forward.

Iran confirms President was wounded in 'Israeli' strike on security council

A senior Iranian official said Sunday that 'Israel' attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a key meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council amid the recent twelve-day war. The official, speaking to Al Jazeera, claimed that the assassination attempt was part of an 'Israeli' plan aimed at toppling the Iranian regime. He added that 'Israel' deliberately targeted Pezeshkian during a high-level strategic meeting intended to coordinate Iran's response to 'Israeli' attacks. The attempt reportedly aimed to strike Iran's executive, legislative, and judicial leaders simultaneously in order to paralyze the state. The official revealed that Tehran has launched a wide-scale investigation into the incident, suspecting the involvement of an internal agent. He warned that the attack 'will not go unanswered' and that Israel 'will pay the price.' On Saturday, Iran's Fars News Agency reported that President Pezeshkian was injured in the June 16 'Israeli' strike on the Supreme National Security Council. He reportedly sustained leg injuries during the attack.

Netanyahu claims Hamas rejected proposed deal, insists on remaining in Gaza

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Sunday that Hamas has rejected recent captive exchange proposals, including a plan advanced by 'Israeli' negotiator Ronen Bar and another by international mediators. 'We want a deal, but not one that allows Hamas to repeat the crimes it committed,' Netanyahu reportedly told 'Israeli' media, insisting that any agreement must involve dismantling Hamas's military capabilities and preventing its rearmament. He added that 'Israel' remains committed to bringing home the captives, but said this must go hand-in-hand with what he described as the destruction of Hamas. Netanyahu rejected accusations from 'Israeli' media that he is obstructing negotiations, claiming they are 'echoing Hamas propaganda.' He also dismissed recent polls showing strong public support for a deal, calling them 'engineered surveys.' Netanyahu defended his recent four-day visit to Washington, which many reports say failed to yield a ceasefire announcement, calling it 'very successful' and accusing media outlets of misrepresenting both his intentions and public sentiment. 'We accepted the deal, the [US envoy Steve] Witkoff framework, and even the modified version suggested by the mediators. Hamas refused it,' he claimed, referring to ongoing talks in Doha. He alleged that Hamas's goal is to remain in Gaza, rearm, and continue launching attacks, stating: 'I won't accept that.' Netanyahu also dismissed polling data showing widespread support for a deal, arguing that the questions fail to present the full picture. 'These are manipulated polls… They don't ask: Do you want a deal that leaves Hamas in place so it can commit murder, rape, and kidnappings again?' Reiterating his position, Netanyahu said: 'We must insist on releasing the hostages and on the other war objective: eliminating Hamas and ensuring Gaza can no longer threaten Israel. That's what I'm doing.' In response, 'Israel's' Channel 12 clarified that its survey, showing 74 percent support for a deal, including 60 percent of Netanyahu coalition voters, asked whether respondents supported releasing all captives in exchange for ending the war in Gaza.

New Hamas tactics against 'Israeli' soldiers in Gaza revealed

Hamas fighters in Gaza have 'shifted to a strategy of sacrifice, showing significantly more audacity and engaging in close combat' in an attempt to capture 'Israeli' soldiers, one senior official said, cited by Hebrew news outlet 'Israel Hayom'. As the military pushes deeper into urban areas of Gaza, the 'Israeli' military is concerned that Hamas' efforts could come to a fruition. After 21 months of war, the change in combat strategy came after the 'Israeli' military changed its approach after the latest ceasefire ended in March. Previously, it relied on short, targeted raids, but the military's goal now is to maintain a continuous presence in Gaza and its cities, the report adds. One recent incident happened last week, where Hamas fighters charged head-on an 'Israeli' soldier operating a bulldozer in the southern city of Khan Younis, killing him at close quarters after he abandoned the machinery. Hamas' military wing released a video of the incident, showing the fighters standing on top of the soldiers' lifeless body, after they took his firearms. Another recent incident happened in north Gaza's Beit Hanoun, where a planted IED killed at least five soldiers during night hours. Following the detonation, reports in Hebrew media said helicopters were deployed amid heavy gunfire as Hamas fighters charged the 'Israeli' soldiers to possibly carry out a kidnapping. The 'Israeli' military now instructs its troops to stay vigilant, but the issue poses a risk for military commanders. The army is now awaiting a decision from the government regarding the next phase of operations in Gaza, as the current operation, named 'Gideon's Chariots' is nearing its end.
