Iran nuclear sites to face UN checks soon? IAEA chief drops big hint amid US-Iran deal talks
Iran's key nuclear facilities are expected to come under international inspection once again as part of the recently agreed interim deal between Tehran and Washington, according to the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog. The development is being seen as a significant step towards implementing the US-Iran agreement aimed at easing tensions and preventing a fresh nuclear crisis in the region. Speaking on Wednesday, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi indicated that inspectors from the agency would eventually gain access to Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, a crucial requirement for monitoring Tehran's nuclear activities. His remarks are among the strongest signals yet that inspections remain an integral part of the agreement despite conflicting statements from both Iran and the United States in recent days.

Iranian vice president says Tehran still distrusts Washington
Iranian vice president says Tehran still distrusts Washington Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has said Tehran remains deeply distrustful of the United States, warning that even a formal agreement would not guarantee an end to hostile actions against the country. According to the ISNA news agency, Aref said: Even in the event of an agreement with the United States, there is no guarantee that hostile actions will stop. He added that Iran therefore had to maintain a high level of preparedness regardless of diplomatic developments. Aref said that strengthening deterrence through scientific and technological advancement remained a long-term priority for the Islamic Republic. Maintaining the country's readiness and increasing deterrence power through the development of science and technology is a permanent necessity for the Islamic Republic of Iran, he said.

Iran’s ‘new nuclear weapon’: Weaponised geography in Strait of Hormuz
Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the terms of the US peace talks with Iran are going to be “incredibly difficult” to negotiate. “I’m reminded of what the Taliban said, in reference to American efforts in Afghanistan. You have the clock; the Taliban said, we have the time,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “We’re not going back to February 27 when 20 per cent of global oil supply flowed. It’s not going to be free and unfettered anymore. “That is the new Iranian nuclear weapon. They’ve weaponised geography, and they’ve done it with a terrifying clarity and impact.”
