Iran's cooperation with IAEA to take ‘new form'
Iran said yesterday its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 'will take on a new form', expressing a desire for a diplomatic solution to resolve concerns over its nuclear programme. Iran's 12-day war with Israel last month, sparked by an Israeli bombing campaign that hit military and nuclear sites as well as residential areas, rattled its already shaky relationship with the UN nuclear watchdog. The attacks began days before a planned meeting between Tehran and Washington aimed at reviving nuclear negotiations, which have since stalled. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said yesterday that Iran's cooperation with the IAEA 'has not stopped, but will take on a new form', after the Islamic republic formally ended cooperation with the UN watchdog in early July. Iran has blamed the IAEA in part for the June attacks on its nuclear facilities, which Israel says it launched to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon - an ambition Tehran has repeatedly denied. The US, which had been in talks with Iran since April 12, joined Israel in carrying out its own strikes on June 22, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz. Araghchi said requests to monitor nuclear sites 'will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis... taking into account safety and security issues', and be managed by Iran's Supreme National Security Council. In early July, a team of IAEA inspectors left Iran to return to the organisation's headquarters in Vienna after Tehran suspended cooperation. The talks were aimed at regulating Iran's nuclear activites in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Before agreeing to any new meeting, 'we are examining its timing, its location, its form, its ingredients, the assurances it requires', said Araghchi.

Syrians Fear Israel Normalization Could Trigger Another Countrywide War
Many Syrians fear another country-wide war could erupt if the country's new post-Assad rulers make peace with Israel through a normalization deal based on Trump's Abraham Accords. Last week, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told reports that normalization with Syria and Lebanon is on the table, as Prime Minister Netanyahu agrees with Washington on a hoped-for expansion of the Abraham Accords. 'Israel is interested in expanding the Abraham Accords circle of peace and normalization,' Saar said. Israel had already signed deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan – the result of Trump's first term in office. 'We have an interest in adding countries such as Syria and Lebanon, our neighbors – to the circle of peace and normalization while safeguarding Israel's essential and security interests,' Saar added. PM Netanyahu himself has recently said that the June war with Iran had opened 'the path to dramatically enlarge the peace accord.' From a strategic point of view, Tel Aviv wants to isolate any Arab country which remains resistant and critical of its war in Gaza. Going back to Hafez al-Assad who ruled Syria since 1970, Ba'ath-ruled Syria had long been Israel's fiercest enemy and neighbor, with the two having fought several wars. The average Syrian has long been hugely critical of Zionism and Israeli expansionism, particularly since it came under control of the Golan Heights. Now under President Sharaa, hundreds of foreign jihadist groups are running around Syria, often persecuting Christians, Alawites, and Druze as Sharaa's HTS government in Damascus turns a blind eye. ISIS is also a continuing reality in parts of Syria – though Sharaa himself is 'former'-ISIS, as are some government ministers and officials. Strangely, or perhaps unsurprisingly given it was at one point a tool of the US regime change war on Damascus, the Islamic State has never really waged a terror war against Israel. The reality is that Israel was also a big player in the CIA's regime change operations, dubbed 'Timber Sycamore'.

Lebanese president rules out normalisation with Israel: statement
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun ruled out normalisation between his country and Israel yesterday, while expressing hope for peaceful relations with Beirut's southern neighbour, which still occupies parts of southern Lebanon. Aoun's statement is the first official reaction to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar's statement last week in which he expressed his country's interest in normalising ties with Lebanon and Syria. Aoun 'distinguished between peace and normalisation', according to a statement shared by the presidency. 'Peace is the lack of a state of war, and this is what matters to us in Lebanon at the moment. As for the issue of normalisation, it is not currently part of Lebanese foreign policy,' the president said in front of a delegation from an Arab think tank. Lebanon and Syria have technically been in a state of war with Israel since 1948, with Damascus saying that talks of normalisation were 'premature'. The president called on Israel to withdraw from the five points near the border it still occupies. Israel was required to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon under a November ceasefire seeking to end its war with Iranbacked Hezbollah. Aoun said that Israeli troops in Lebanon 'obstruct the complete deployment of the army up to the internationally recognised borders'. According to the ceasefire agreement, Hezbollah must pull its fighters north of the Litani River, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the border with Israel, leaving the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the area.
