Israeli forces detain "Iranian" cell in Syria
Shafaq News - Damascus/Tel Aviv Israeli forces conducted a cross-border operation in southern Syria, detaining what they described as an 'Iran-directed sabotage cell,' the military spokesperson stated on Wednesday. According to the statement, troops entered the areas of Umm al-Luqos and Ein al-Basili overnight, claiming the arrest of several individuals, and the discovery of "weapons and grenades". "The group had been activated by Iranian elements, citing intelligence obtained in recent weeks," the spokesperson said, adding that the operation aimed to counter their "attempts to entrench themselves" in Syria near the Golan Heights, which remains classified as occupied Syrian territory under international law. #عاجل 🔴في إطار عملية خاصة في الجنوب السوري: قوة تابعة لجيش الدفاع تقبض على خلية إيرانية من المخربين⭕️نفذت قوات اللواء 474 التابع للفرقة 210 الليلة الماضية عملية خاصة للقبض على خلية من المخربين تم تحريكها من قبل إيران في منطقة أم اللوقس وعين البصلي التي في الجنوب السوري، وذلك… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) July 2, 2025 This is not Israel's first incursion into southern Syria this year.

Iraq's Shalamcheh crossing bust: 2Kg gold seized
Shafaq News - Baghdad On Wednesday, Iraq's Border Ports Authority foiled an attempt to smuggle gold through the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iran. Alaa Al-Qaisi, the authority's spokesman, informed Shafaq News that a force from the Shalamcheh Directorate apprehended a foreign traveler carrying more than 2 kilograms of gold, attempting to smuggle it out of Iraq. The suspect and the confiscated gold were then handed over to the Shalamcheh Customs Police Center for further legal proceedings. Located in southeastern Iraq's Basra province, the Shalamcheh border crossing serves as a vital international transit point connecting Iraq with Iran. It facilitates commercial trade, religious pilgrimage, and passenger travel between the two countries. The crossing remains a key focus of security operations, with Iraqi authorities maintaining strict surveillance to prevent smuggling, drug trafficking, and other illicit activities.

Iran formally suspends IAEA cooperation
Shafaq News – Tehran Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian officially notified the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran that cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be suspended, local media outlets reported on Wednesday. Mehr news agency conveyed that Pezeshkian sent an official letter to the Atomic Energy Organization, the Foreign Ministry, and the Supreme National Security Council, invoking a recently enacted law that mandates the Iranian government to halt collaboration with the IAEA. The legislation, grounded in Articles 123 and 85 of the Iranian Constitution, gained approval from the Guardian Council following its passage during a public session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly last week. This development follows rising tensions between Iranian authorities and IAEA Director Rafael Grossi. Iran's Foreign Ministry representative Esmaeil Baqaei emphasized that Grossi must explain how Iran can maintain cooperation while its nuclear facilities suffer attacks, stressing that 'The agency cannot expect Iran, as a Non-Proliferation Treaty signatory, to participate while it ignores or even justifies strikes on our sites.' Moreover, Iran's judiciary announced intentions to pursue legal action against Grossi over accusations of issuing 'misleading and falsified' reports that allegedly facilitated US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. According to Iranian media, the Deputy Head of Judicial Affairs asserted that Grossi 'must be held accountable for his deception,' highlighting that Iran's International Legal Department is compiling evidence of these 'crimes' and preparing to submit legal claims before international bodies, seeking compensation for material and moral damages resulting from the attacks. These moves come amid a series of US airstrikes targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later confirmed that the attacks inflicted ''significant damage on the sites.'' Speaking with CBS News, Araghchi further emphasized that Iran's uranium enrichment program will remain ''peaceful without question,' noting that despite years of sanctions, assassinations, and sabotage attempts, Iran has continued its enrichment activities within the peaceful limits. Describing the nuclear program as a source of national pride, Araghchi cautioned that, "After a 12-day war, no one can abandon this industry, and we will certainly work to protect it."
