‘So deeply entwined': Iran unlikely to abandon nuclear ambitions
Strategic Analysis Australia Director Peter Jennings examines the future of the Iranian regime.
'There are really two things which I think the regime has to give up completely if it can be allowed to survive at all,' Mr Jennings told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'That is, firstly, nuclear weapons … and secondly, they've got to break all ties with terrorist organisations.
'These things are so deeply entwined into the DNA of the regime in Iran, I can't see how they could give those things up.'

Israeli strike on Iranian jail killed dozens on people
Israel's attack on the Evin Prison in Iran's capital Tehran killed 71 people including staff, inmates and neighbours, an Iranian official says. At the end of an air war with Iran, Israel struck Tehran's most notorious jail for political prisoners on June 23, in a demonstration that it was expanding its targets beyond military and nuclear sites to aim at symbols of Iran's ruling system. "In the attack on Evin prison, 71 people were martyred including administrative staff, youth doing their military service, detainees, family members of detainees who were visiting them and neighbours who lived in the prison's vicinity," judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said in remarks carried on the judiciary's news outlet Mizan on Sunday. Jahangir had previously said part of Evin prison's administrative building had been damaged in the attack and people were killed and injured. The judiciary added that remaining detainees had been transferred to other prisons in Tehran province. Evin prison holds a number of foreign nationals, including two French citizens detained for three years. "The strike targeting Evin prison in Tehran, put our citizens Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris in danger. It is unacceptable," France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot had said on social media X after the attack.

US Congressional Report shows eSafety Commissioner aided in attempt to hinder free speech on X
Sky News host James Morrow discusses a US Congressional Report which shows emails from Australia's eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, attempting to regulate free speech on X with the help of the Global Alliance For Responsible Media. 'Thanks to this Congressional Report from the House Judiciary Committee, we have learned more about Inman Grant's activities, including her communications with the head of this advertising cartel, the Global Alliance For Responsible Media, or GARM, Which happily has been shut down but which, according to Daily Wire Dot Com used 'its control of the global advertising spending to bankrupt conservative publishers, was working with regulators in Europe and Australia to force Twitter, now X, to fall in line with its censorship demands'. 'The scary thing is, this report suggests that they may have been an Australian bureaucracy, headed by an American-born woman, and created by a supposedly Liberal centre-right government, to do it.'
