Iran Has Not Agreed to Inspections, Give up Enrichment: Trump
US President Donald Trump stated on Friday that Iran did not approve inspections of its nuclear program or give up enriching uranium, according to Reuters. Trump's Remarks Trump said that he believed that the Iranian nuclear program had been degraded permanently, despite the possibility that Tehran could restart it at a different location. 'I would say it's set back permanently. I would think they'd have to start at a different location. And if they did start, it would be a problem.' Trump said as he traveled to New Jersey after an Independence Day celebration at the White House. Moreover, Trump revealed that he would never allow Tehran to resume its nuclear program. He also noted that Iran wanted to hold a meeting with him. On Friday, the UN nuclear watchdog announced it had pulled its last remaining inspectors from Iran. Pentagon's Statement The Pentagon said that US strikes last month on Iranian nuclear facilities degraded Tehran's nuclear program by up to two years. 'We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the department assess that,' Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesperson, said at a news briefing on Wednesday. Parnell also said that the US military campaign likely achieved its goals despite a far more cautious initial assessment that leaked to the public. 'All of the intelligence that we've seen led us to believe that Iran's, those facilities especially, have been completely obliterated,' he added. US Strikes on Iran On June 22, the US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran after launching airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. The head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Mr Rafael Grossi, revealed that Iran could be producing enriched uranium in a few months. Grossi's remarks raised doubts over the effectiveness of the US military operation to destroy Tehran's nuclear programme. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi unveiled that US strikes severely damaged the Fordow nuclear site. 'No one exactly knows what has transpired in Fordow. That being said, what we know so far is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged,' Mr Araqchi said in the interview broadcast by CBS News on July 1. REUTERS Israel Iran Conflict On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed several Iranian nuclear scientists in line with its goal to eliminate Iran's nuclear program. Crucially, Israel announced that it was hit by over 50 missiles during the 12-day war with Iran, resulting in 28 deaths. However, the real extent of the damage may never be known because of strict media restrictions. The Israeli airstrikes on Iran killed at least 627 people and injured approximately 4,900.

Trump administration deports eight migrants to South Sudan
The Trump administration has deported to South Sudan eight migrants who had been held for more than a month by the US at a military base in Djibouti, the Department of Homeland Security said on Saturday, after the migrants lost a last-ditch effort to halt their transfer. An aircraft carrying US deportees arrived in South Sudan on Saturday, two officials working at Juba airport said. An airport staffer speaking on condition of anonymity told Reuters he had seen a document showing that the aircraft 'arrived this morning at 6:00 am' (0400 GMT). An immigration official also said the deportees had arrived in the country but shared no further details, referring all questions to the National Security Service intelligence agency. Earlier, a South Sudan government source said US officials had been at the airport awaiting the migrants' arrival. The fate of the migrants had become a flashpoint in the fight over the legality of the Trump administration's campaign to deter immigration through high-profile deportations to so-called 'third countries' where migrants say they face safety concerns, which has already gone from lower courts to the Supreme Court twice. South Sudan has long been dangerous even for local residents. The US State Department advises citizens not to travel there due to violent crime and armed conflict. The United Nations has said the African country's political crisis could reignite a brutal civil war that ended in 2018. The eight men, who according to their lawyers are from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Sudan and Vietnam, had argued their deportations to South Sudan would violate the US Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. They had been held in US custody in Djibouti since a federal judge in Boston in May blocked the Trump administration from immediately moving them to South Sudan over due process concerns. Following additional litigation, the Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the administration, lifting those limits. Two courts considered requests from the migrants' lawyers on an emergency basis on Friday, when courts are otherwise closed for the July 4 Independence Day holiday, but ultimately US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston said the Supreme Court order required him to deny their bid, clearing the way for their deportation. The location of the men in South Sudan after their arrival was not immediately known.

Macron to press Starmer on recognizing Palestinian state during UK visit
LONDON: Emmanuel Macron is expected to urge Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to formally recognize Palestinian statehood during his upcoming state visit to the UK, it was reported on Saturday. The French president arrives in London on Tuesday for a three-day trip, which will include a summit with Starmer, an address to both Houses of Parliament, and a state banquet hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle. While the centerpiece of the visit is expected to be a new 'one-in, one-out' migrant returns deal aimed at curbing Channel crossings, sources say Macron will also raise the issue of Palestinian statehood during private talks with the UK leader. 'The French are trying to get us back on board with recognition. We're reticent,' a Whitehall insider told The Telegraph. 'You do it when you think you can achieve something from it, not for the sake of saying 'we've done it.'' Downing Street and the Elysee Palace are said to be at odds over the pace and conditions under which recognition should take place, though both governments publicly support the idea in principle at the 'right time.' Paris views recognition as a possible catalyst for a two-state solution and is pushing to relaunch a proposed UN-led process to discuss the matter to be hosted with Saudi Arabia. However, UK officials fear the move could be largely symbolic without commitments from Hamas, including disarmament and withdrawal from leadership roles. Israel has strongly opposed unilateral recognition, warning it would amount to 'rewarding' Hamas for its Oct. 7 attacks. The bilateral summit will also cover joint civil nuclear projects and coordination on a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine. Macron's visit will be marked by pageantry, including a carriage procession through Windsor and a tour of the Royal Collection. The French president will also be presented with Fabuleu de Maucour, a horse he gifted the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
