Iran Suspends Ties with IAEA Days After US Bombs Nuclear Sites

July 2, 2025, 3:07 pm

Iran suspended all co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) just days after a US military attack aimed at its main nuclear facilities. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sanctioned the suspension via an official law on Wednesday, state television reported. The decision comes after widespread destruction of Iran’s atomic apparatus and increasing anger with what Iran regards as the world’s silence, particularly from the IAEA.

The suspension follows Pezeshkian denouncing IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi for not denouncing the attacks by Israel and the United States as blatant breaches of the UN Charter and NPT.

Iran Questions the Value of Cooperation

In a telephone conversation with his French counterpart, Pezeshkian doubted further cooperation. “What assurance is there that our installations will not be attacked again, even if we cooperate?” he asked. The Iranian president also doubted the credibility of the UN nuclear watchdog in safeguarding Iran’s sovereign rights.

Grossi, though, turned down Iran’s suspension. He cautioned that Tehran would be able to resume uranium enrichment within months, even though the attacks caused huge damage. “They can have, you know, in a matter of months, a few cascades of centrifuges rotating and making enriched uranium—or less than that,” he said to CBS News.

Fordow Site Suffers Heavy Damage

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi admitted that the US attack severely damaged the Fordow nuclear facility. “No one precisely knows what has happened at Fordow. And anyway, what we know until now is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged,” he conceded in an interview with CBS.

Iran, US Messages Seem to Clash

At the same time, a story in the Washington Post, quoting four people briefed on secret US intelligence, said that intercepted Iranian communications seemed to minimize the degree of the damage. This discrepancy calls into question how much Iran wants to disclose—and how much it wants to hide—about the true status of its nuclear program.

For now, the standoff between Tehran, Washington, and the IAEA deepens, raising global concerns about nuclear escalation, accountability, and the future of non-proliferation diplomacy.

Putin Plays Both Sides Between Tehran and Trump as Airstrikes Escalate

June 24, 2025, 1:36 pm

Russian President Vladimir Putin is treading a tightrope in the growing Iran-Israel confrontation. At the beginning of the year, he hosted Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the Kremlin and signed a strategic partnership to further deepen relations. That agreement sought to strengthen both nations’ efforts to undermine US-dominated world hegemony.

But now, following more than a week of Israeli and American bombing of Iranian targets, Moscow has given Tehran little more than fine words. Putin has refused to offer military assistance, instead urging diplomacy and defusing the crisis.

The Kremlin appears more concerned with maintaining flexibility than with insisting on standing shoulder-to-shoulder with its so-called ally.

Grand Partnership on Paper

Early this year, Putin and Pezeshkian signed a so-called new “strategic partnership” deal. The deal symbolized the intensification of cooperation between Russia and Iran. For years, both countries had stood together to confront Western influence in the Middle East and the world at large.

The Moscow signing seemed symbolic—a move toward solidifying an anti-US bloc. But now that symbolism is at risk. Tehran hoped for backing when its confrontation with Israel escalated. It received little more than diplomatic bluster.

Moscow Delivers Rhetoric, Not Missiles

As Israeli and American aircraft rained down on Iranian targets, Moscow remained largely silent. Putin eschewed explicit military involvement. In public statements, he dodged assurances of action. Instead, he proposed an exchange on the resolution of the crisis.

“This gives us an opportunity to…think together about how it would be possible to exit from this situation,” said Putin. That imprecise remark underscored his delicate dance—to avoid offending either side.

Putin’s Gambit: Stalling and Diplomacy

Instead of deepening engagement, the Kremlin is stalling. Putin is aware that explicit support for Iran invites Israeli reprisal and Western criticism. On the other hand, withdrawing would compromise Russia’s leadership of an emerging multipolar world. By providing words instead of armor, Putin has options open. Tehran, however, now realizes the boundaries of Moscow’s assurances.

With the crisis prolonging, Iran might reconsider depending on Russia. The strategic alliance, once described as historic, now appears superficial. Putin’s true intention appears obvious—safeguard Russian interests above all else, even at the expense of allowing a friendly nation to stand alone against airstrikes.

PM Modi Urges ‘Immediate De-escalation’ in Call With Iran’s President

June 22, 2025, 4:54 pm

PM Narendra Modi addressed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday, shortly after the United States attacked three of Iran’s most important nuclear sites. In the aftermath of rising West Asia tensions, PM Modi emphasized the imperative for de-escalation, dialogue, and restoration of regional peace and stability.

The US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan trigger global backlash and risk a wider war. Iran has denounced the move and threatened “severe consequences,” while Modi has put India squarely in the camp of peace.

PM Modi Appeals for Peace and Dialogue

Tweeing on X , PM Modi stated: “Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. Discussed in great detail the situation now. Conveyed deep concern at recent escalations. Repeated our call for de-escalation immediately, dialogue and diplomacy as the path forward and for early return of regional peace, security and stability.”

Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. We discussed in detail about the current situation. Expressed deep concern at the recent escalations. Reiterated our call for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward and for early restoration of regional…

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 22, 2025

This marks one of India’s most direct interventions since the US-Israel offensive on Iranian nuclear assets began. The timing of the call—just hours after the airstrikes—highlights New Delhi’s growing diplomatic stake in West Asian stability.

Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan Struck by US

The United States deployed six B-2 stealth bombers to demolish Iran’s deeply fortified Fordow facility. The US also fired 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles from submarines to strike Natanz and Isfahan, according to reports.

US President Donald Trump referred to the attack as a “spectacular military success,” stating that additional attacks would continue if Iran retaliates.

Iran Responds with Anger

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi denounced the US attack. It was a “serious violation” of international law and the UN Charter, he said. In a forcefully worded statement on X, Araghchi blamed the US for “criminal activities” and threatened that the strikes would carry “eternal repercussions.”

“Every single member of the UN should be concerned about this extremely risky, lawless and criminal activity,” Araghchi added.

India’s Role in an Unstable Region

India traditionally has enjoyed close relations with both the United States and Iran. With millions of Indian nationals resident across the Gulf and vital energy interests involved, New Delhi has maintained a delicate diplomatic balancing act.

PM Modi’s call with Pezeshkian reflects a wider concern that open conflict between Iran and the West could destabilize trade routes, oil supply, and regional alliances. His message of “dialogue and diplomacy” aligns with India’s long-standing principle of non-alignment and peaceful resolution.

Iran Rules Out Nuclear Weapons, Defends Energy Rights As Israel War Escalates

June 16, 2025, 12:10 pm

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday (June 16) asserted that Iran will not seek nuclear weapons but will keep enriching its right to nuclear energy and scientific progress. He issued the statement amidst a fierce battle with Israel in which hundreds have died.

Although Iran defends its nuclear program as peaceful, Israel accuses Tehran of an existential danger and has promised to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities through continued assaults.

Pezeshkian Reaffirms Iran’s Nuclear Position

President Pezeshkian firmly stated that Iran does not intend to develop nuclear arms. Instead, he emphasized Iran’s sovereign right to nuclear energy and research. According to Reuters, he echoed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s religious edict, which bans weapons of mass destruction.

This pronouncement comes amid high tensions across the world and as nuclear activities continue to be under scrutiny. Iran seems to be making a distinction between peaceful advancement and military build-up.

Death Toll Increases on Both Sides

The conflict between Iran and Israel broke out on Friday, June 13, when Israel conducted massive airstrikes against Iran. Iran has since reported 224 civilian fatalities and more than 1,200 injuries by its health ministry. The spokesman for health said that 90 percent of the casualties were civilians, including women and children.

In Israel, 17 people are killed and 390 are injured. Israeli leaders do not give any indication of withdrawal despite the losses.

Israeli Strikes Kill Iranian Top Brass

Israel’s attacks have been aimed at top Iranian officials. The Revolutionary Guard confirmed the death of its intelligence chief, Mohammad Kazemi, and two other generals. Many other senior officials and nuclear scientists were killed in the strikes. These fatalities represent a severe blow to Iran’s military and scientific leadership.

Netanyahu Threatens to Continue the Offensive

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has come to the defense of the strikes. In an interview with Fox News, he stated that Israel will keep fighting Iran to eradicate two existential threats: nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. He explained that Israel has to do it for its own security and for the security of the world.

“We did take action, to save ourselves,” Netanyahu stated. “We can’t have the world’s most dangerous regime possess the world’s most dangerous weapons.”

As the fourth day of the war arrives, neither country is in the mood to back down. Iran remains adamant on its peaceful nuclear development right. Israel, meanwhile, vows to scrap what it perceives as an impending menace. As both sides refuse to budge, the region becomes increasingly unstable.
