UN Nuclear Chief Says It’s Possible Iran’s Highly Enriched Uranium ‘Is There’
VIENNA, June 25 (Reuters) – There is a chance that much of Iran’s highly enriched uranium survived Israeli and U.S. attacks because it may have been moved by Tehran soon after the first strikes, U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said on Wednesday.
Israel repeatedly struck Iranian nuclear facilities during its 12-day war with Tehran, and U.S. forces bombed Iran’s underground nuclear facilities at the weekend, but the extent of the damage to its stocks of enriched uranium is unclear.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Grossi said earlier this week that Iran had informed the IAEA on June 13 – the first day of Israeli strikes – that it would take “special measures” to protect its nuclear materials and equipment.

Iranian Resistance: “The West Must Stop the Nuclear Bomb – The Future Lies in Democracy”
Tehran, July 25, 2025 – A long struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran is recounted through the voice of Kamran Dalir, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an anti-theocratic organization linked to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), founded in 1981. Dalir, who has spent 46 years promoting resistance against the ayatollahs’ regime, lives in exile but keeps his thoughts fixed on Tehran, hoping for a future free of religious dictatorship.
Kamran Dalir describes Iran as a powder keg, plagued by poverty, repression, and mounting economic hardship. “The people want freedom and democracy,” he explains, “but the regime responds with repression, executions, torture, and imprisonment.” Despite the harsh reality, Dalir highlights the resilience of the Iranian people, who have launched four major uprisings in the past seven years — the most recent in September 2022, when the regime’s rule was seriously shaken.
Norwegian Indicted for Espionage Against Norway and the U.S. for Russia and Iran
A Norwegian citizen has been indicted for serious espionage, according to a fresh indictment from the National Prosecuting Authority (NAST).
“This is a rare type of case. It’s the first time we are prosecuting under these specific provisions,” said prosecutor Carl Fari to NRK. In total, the defendant faces up to 21 years in prison. The man is charged with having disclosed several pieces of information which, “individually or collectively,” could “harm fundamental national interests,” according to the indictment.
He acknowledges the factual events but denies criminal guilt, said his defense attorney Inger Zadig of Elden Law Firm to NRK.
“The True Force for Change Lies at the Very Heart of Iran: A People Standing Tall.”
“For nearly fifty years, international relations with Iran have been reduced to a binary logic, in which Europe and the United States have multiplied attempts at compromise with the theocratic regime, far too often sacrificing democratic principles on the altar of diplomatic pragmatism,” emphasize the authors of this collective op-ed, signed notably by Yves Bonnet, Jean-Pierre Brard, and Gilbert Mitterrand.
Tehran is escalating its arrogance, accusing our two nationals, Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, of spying for Israel. France must respond with the utmost firmness and reject the blackmail that is clearly unfolding. At the same time, the regime announces the arrest of another French citizen and carries out numerous detentions of opposition figures accused of espionage in an attempt to prevent another uprising from within. Let us remember that at the end of the war with Iraq, it executed thousands of political prisoners under the pretext that they were spies for Iraq.
Daines on Fox Business: Iran’s Nuclear Program Will Never Be Peaceful
U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today joined Fox Business to discuss Iran’s nuclear program and how it will never be used for peaceful purposes. Daines also discussed trade with China and President Trump’s visit to the Federal Reserve.
Daines on Iran’s nuclear program: “Look I don’t trust this Iranian regime. I trust them about as far as I can throw them. They have no credibility. There’s no veracity to what they are saying. Why is it that we had to send B-2’s with bunker buster bombs to destroy their capabilities because they were hundreds of feet below ground? If this was truly nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes, it’d be in the light, it’d be on the surface. If they want peaceful nuclear capabilities, that’s an easy problem to solve. They can buy that on the open market. I’m sure there’s plenty of companies that would be happy to come in and build nuclear reactors. Look, they are doing this because they want to build a nuclear bomb. They want to destroy America. They want to destroy Israel. They are the primary sponsor of terror for Hamas, for Hezbollah, for the Houthis. And so, count me skeptical in terms of what the Iranians say.”

Global Experts Warn of Repeat 1988 Massacre as Iran Regime Calls for Mass Killings
An influential coalition of 301 international human rights experts, Nobel laureates, and former senior UN officials issued an urgent warning on July 23, declaring that the Iranian regime is showing clear signs of preparing for another mass execution of political prisoners. The statement, organized by Justice for the Victims of the 1988 Massacre in Iran (JVMI), was sent to top UN officials and member states, cautioning that “the risk of another mass atrocity, reminiscent of the 1988 massacre, is alarmingly real.”
This grave warning comes as the regime’s state-controlled media has begun openly inciting mass murder, and its judiciary accelerates the pace of executions, particularly targeting supporters of the organized opposition.
Regime’s crackdown on water protesters in Sabzevar sparks fiery retaliation across Iran
Following an attack by the Iranian regime’s security forces on the frustrated people of Sabzevar, who were protesting water shortages and were met with tear gas, Iran’s rebellious youth targeted several of the mullahs’ centers of suppression and plunder. They also set fire to images of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei in various cities. With 15 fiery responses and attacks on foundations of corruption and plundering as well as suppression bases, the rebellious youth lit the guiding beacons of “fire” and rebellion for the youth and weary people.
Reyhaneh Ansarinejad Denied Medical Treatment in Qarchak Prison
Reyhaneh Ansarinejad, a labor rights activist and political prisoner currently held in Qarchak Prison, was barred from being transferred to Taleghani Hospital for an urgent thyroid ultrasound on Monday, July 21, 2025, due to her refusal to be taken in handcuffs—a condition imposed by prison authorities that many view as degrading and punitive. Despite her deteriorating health and the necessity of immediate medical attention, Ansarinejad’s transfer was canceled after she objected to being shackled. Prison officials not only blocked the hospital visit but also forced her to sign a formal waiver for medical treatment.
Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels: Stop Executions in Iran, Support the NCRI’s Third Option”

Paris Exhibition Exposes Iran Regime’s Plan to Massacre Political Prisoners, Calls for Global Response
Paris, France – July 22-23, 2025 – Supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) organized an exhibition to denounce the Iranian regime’s escalating human rights violations, with a particular focus on the grave threat facing political prisoners. According to recent reports, including the case of political prisoner Saeed Masouri, the clerical regime has orchestrated a plot to carry out a large-scale massacre of political prisoners, aiming to silence dissent through mass executions.
Is a Human Catastrophe Unfolding in Iran’s Prisons? – Part 2
In line with its escalating strategy of physically eliminating political prisoners, the security apparatus of the mullahs’ regime has launched a rapid and sweeping campaign to transfer detainees from Evin Prison to facilities with inhumane and deadly conditions. This report documents in detail the aftermath of the Evin bombing, the attempt to forcibly transfer Saeed Masouri, the hellish conditions of Fashafouyeh and Qarchak prisons, the humiliation of visiting families, and protest hunger strikes by political prisoners.
Following the July 2025 bombing of Evin Prison, the ruling regime quickly relocated political prisoners to places such as Fashafouyeh and Qarchak. The official claim of ensuring “security” in response to foreign attacks has, in practice, served as a pretext for intensifying repression. Rather than ensuring safety, the transferred prisoners were cut off from their families, denied medical care, and subjected to extreme restrictions on communication.
Danish Universities Restrict Access to Iranian Researchers Due to Security Concerns
Citing increasing security threats, Denmark has adopted stricter policies regarding the admission of foreign researchers, with Iranian researchers in particular facing disqualification. According to Danish media, the country’s security and academic officials have warned that access to sensitive information in fields such as quantum technology, green energy, and artificial intelligence could increase the risk of information leaking to foreign governments.
Aarhus University, one of Denmark’s most prestigious academic institutions, announced that it has rejected applications from at least 24 foreign researchers so far this year. A significant portion of these applicants held Iranian, Russian, or Chinese citizenship.
At least 74 people executed in Iran over the past month
From June 22 to July 22, the Iranian regime hanged at least 74 people across prisons throughout the country. During this period, the judiciary issued death sentences for at least 17 others, and the Supreme Court confirmed the execution orders for at least two other individuals. On July 23, the human rights website HRANA released its latest monthly report on the state of human rights violations in Iran. It stated that over the one-month period, it had documented 63 reports related to the right to life (executions), including 74 executions, 17 death sentences, and two confirmed execution verdicts.
Iran’s Water and Power Crisis Deepens Amid Soaring Summer Heat and Economic Turmoil
As Iran endures one of its hottest summers in recent memory, the nation is gripped by a worsening crisis marked by repeated water and electricity outages, paralyzing economic activity and intensifying public discontent. With ultraviolet radiation warnings urging citizens to remain indoors, the regime’s failure to ensure basic services has left millions without access to cooling systems, drinking water, or even the ability to shower.
While summer heat is not new to Iran, the severity of this year’s crisis has left citizens more frustrated and hopeless than ever. The government has responded not with solutions but with blame, urging the public to “save more,” while ignoring the infrastructure breakdowns at the heart of the crisis.
Post-War Fallout Exposes Internal Power Struggles Within Iranian Regime
The aftermath of the 12-day war has reignited visible tensions within the Iranian regime, with competing factions scrambling to reposition themselves as the country faces growing public discontent and international scrutiny. While state-aligned media and regime insiders frame the dispute as one between “pragmatic conservatives” and hardliners, the underlying power struggle is less about reform and more about control over the regime’s trajectory and survival.
On July 23, the reformist-branded newspaper Ham Mihan highlighted recent activities by two senior regime insiders, Ali Larijani and Ali Akbar Velayati, portraying them as voices of moderation seeking to shift Iran’s policies post-war. Larijani’s unannounced trip to Moscow on July 20 to discuss nuclear issues with President Vladimir Putin and Velayati’s July 21 call for a “new approach” were cited as signs of a supposed return to pragmatism.
