Iranian Majles Deputy Speaker Hamid-Reza Haj Babaei discussed the Majles vote to suspend all cooperation with the IAEA in a June 25, 2025 interview on IRINN TV (Iran). Dressed in combat uniform, Babaei called IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi a 'terror mastermind' and claimed that every IAEA inspector who came to Iran was a spy, alleging they had chips in their shoes that recorded everything. He stated that it was NATO, not Israel, that fought Iran for 12 days. Babaei said that from now on, inspection cameras would show only a black screen, and all inspections would be prohibited. He added that Iran would produce and research as much as it wants, with no ceiling. He also stated that Iran's missiles should now be ten times more powerful, along with its air defenses.

Iran offers Gulf cooperation, seeks fresh start with GCC states
Shafaq News – Tehran On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared his country's readiness to fully cooperate with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and open a 'new chapter' in regional relations. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Pezeshkian emphasized the urgent need to strengthen ties among Islamic nations, according to Iran's official IRNA news agency. 'Iran is ready for comprehensive cooperation with the GCC,' he said, calling for deeper regional engagement based on shared interests and unity. The announcement comes amid strained Gulf-Iranian relations following a recent Iranian missile strike on Qatari territory. The Secretary-General of the GCC, Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, condemned the attack in the 'strongest possible terms.' The strike reportedly targeted the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran claimed the missiles were not intended to hit Qatari assets directly. The incident drew further criticism from the United Arab Emirates, where Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the UAE President, urged Iran to 'rebuild trust with its Gulf neighbors.' The missile exchange formed part of a broader 12-day military escalation between Iran and Israel, which ended after US President Donald Trump announced a cessation of hostilities following Iran's retaliatory strike.

Khamenei dismisses Trump's strike claims as 'exaggerated'
Shafaq News – Tehran On Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed US President Donald Trump's recent remarks regarding American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, describing the comments as exaggerated and misleading. In a post on X, Khamenei argued that Trump had overstated the impact of the strikes to obscure what he referred to as a 'hidden truth' behind the operation. رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا در شرح آنچه که واقع شد، بزرگنمایی غیرمتعارفی کرد که معلوم شد به این بزرگنمایی احتیاج دارد. هرکسی میشنید آن حرفها را میفهمید که در زیر ظاهر این حرفها یک حقیقت دیگری وجود دارد. کاری نتوانستند انجام بدهند و بزرگنمایی میکنند تا حقیقت را بپوشانند و مکتوم نگه دارند. — | فارسی 🇮🇷 (@Khamenei_fa) June 29, 2025 'The US President used highly exaggerated language to describe what occurred,' Khamenei wrote adding that 'Everyone who heard those words could sense that something else was being concealed.' Yesterday, Trump renewed his criticism of Khamenei's previous remarks on the ongoing conflict with Israel, questioning the credibility of the Supreme Leader's statements, and casting doubt on their accuracy. The US President also rejected claims that he had offered Iran $30 billion to help develop a civilian nuclear program, dismissing the reports as fabrications by what he described as 'dishonest media outlets aiming to mislead the public.'
