Iran Urges IAEA To Act Against Israel
By Nur Atiq Maisarah Suhaimi
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- Iran has urged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to take strong actions against Israel's blatant aggression on its territory.
Iranian Ambassador to Malaysia Valiollah Mohammadi Nasrabadi said the IAEA should condemn Israel's actions and prevent further violations of international laws. bootstrap slideshow
"Israel, as a non-member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), attacks the country which is a member of the NPT, so the IAEA must have a very strong position against Israel and stop them from this aggression,' he told reporters after meeting some 50 representatives from Malaysian non-governmental organisation during a solidarity visit at the Embassy here, Tuesday.
The visit was led by the president of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations (MAPIM), Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid.
To a question whether Iran will leave the NPT, Valiollah said Iran remains committed to the treaty.
Iran has been a signatory to NPT since 1970.
Iran on Monday said that the authorities will decide whether to withdraw from the NPT, following IAEA's report that found Iran is in breach of its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years.
Meanwhile, Azmi said MAPIM will hold a peaceful rally in solidarity with the Iranian people on June 20.
The group is expected to march from Masjid Tabung Haji after Friday prayers to the Embassy of the United States where it will submit a memorandum of understanding (MoU) outlining its stance and demands in regards to the escalating conflicts between Israel and Iran.
Regional tension has escalated since Friday after Israel launched coordinated air strikes on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.

UNRWA Commissioner-General: Inaction In Pressuring Israel To Allow Aid Into Gaza Is "Complicity"
NEW YORK, July 21 (Bernama-WAFA) -- UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini confirmed on Sunday that inaction in pressuring Israel to allow aid into Gaza is "complicity" in starving the Palestinians in the Strip, stating, 'Inaction is complicity and makes us lose our humanity.' According to Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), in a post on X, Lazzarini quoted a message often received from UNRWA staff in Gaza that says, 'I've been searching for something to feed my children but there is nothing.' He questioned, 'How can one respond to such messages of despair? Shames me and doubles the sense of helplessness.' He stressed that all this is man-made, with total impunity enjoyed by Israel.

First day of Dewan Rakyat focuses on post Asean 2025 foreign policy, cost of haj
KUALA LUMPUR: The Second Meeting of the Fourth Session of the 15th Parliament of Dewan Rakyat which opens today will see debates on the direction of the country's foreign policy after the Asean 2025 Chairmanship, digital transformation and the issue of increasing hajj costs as among the main agendas. According to the meeting Order Paper displayed on the Parliament portal, Datuk Mohd Shahar Abdullah (BN-Paya Besar) raised a question about the future of Malaysia's foreign policy to the Foreign Minister during the oral question and answer session. He wants to know how the policy could help Malaysia navigate the increasingly complex and dynamic Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape. The digitalisation of the country also received attention when Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee (PN-Beluran) asked the Prime Minister to explain the progress of the implementation of the MYDigital initiative, especially regarding the registration of MyDigital ID, the integration of government systems with digital platforms, and its impact on the delivery of public services. The issue of digital transformation continued with a question from V. Sivakumar (PH-Batu Gajah) to the Digital Minister who wanted to know the country's preparedness for the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution including technology transfer strategies, local talent development, as well as the level of AI integration in governance and key economic sectors. Datuk Dr Ahmad Marzuk Shaary (PN-Pengkalan Chepa) also asked the Prime Minister regarding the justification for the increase in the 2025 haj cost, the status of Tabung Haji investments and the amount of unused Malaysian haj quota for the years 2020 to 2025. After the question and answer session, the sitting will continue with the tabling of the second reading of several bills including the Consumer Credit Act 2025 and the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing (Amendment) Bill 2025. Members of Parliament are also expected to focus on the motion to debate the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) 2023 (Statute Paper 80 of 2025). Apart from that, two other documents will also be tabled on the MPs' desks, namely the Auditor General's Report 2/2025 and the Suhakam Annual Report 2023. The Dewan Rakyat session for the Second Meeting of the Fourth Session of the 15th Parliament is scheduled to last for 24 days and among the highlights will certainly be the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan on July 31. — BERNAMA
