US-E3 Draft Resolution at IAEA Board Demands Swift Cooperation from Iran
VIENNA, Nov 18 (Reuters) – Europe’s top three powers and the U.S. have submitted a draft resolution to this week’s meeting of the U.N. atomic watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors demanding answers and access from Iran over its bombed nuclear sites and enriched uranium stock.
Diplomats said the draft resolution submitted by France, Britain, Germany and the United States on Tuesday and seen by Reuters is highly likely to be passed as early as Wednesday. It follows a damning International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran sent to member states last week.
That report said Tehran has still not let inspectors into the nuclear sites Israel and the United States bombed in June and that accounting for the uranium stock is “long overdue”.
Iran’s Hidden Nuclear Push Resumes Under Pickaxe Mountain
Iran is blocking the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from inspecting multiple sites of interest in its nuclear weapons development programme, a senior source in the European Union’s (E.U.’s) security complex exclusively told OilPrice.com late last week. “These include the major sites targeted during the U.S. and Israeli strikes on its nuclear programme facilities in June, including Fordow and Natanz, and another site in particular — close to Natanz that seems to be the focus of significant Iranian activity since then,” he said. “The pace has picked up even more since the ‘Snapback Sanctions’ were reimposed,” he added. So, what is Iran doing that it does not want the IAEA or anyone else to see, and what have the newly reimposed sanctions going to do with it?

Iranian Hackers Use DEEPROOT and TWOSTROKE Malware in Aerospace and Defense Attacks
Suspected espionage-driven threat actors from Iran have been observed deploying backdoors like TWOSTROKE and DEEPROOT as part of continued attacks aimed at aerospace, aviation, and defense industries in the Middle East.
The activity has been attributed by Google-owned Mandiant to a threat cluster tracked as UNC1549 (aka Nimbus Manticore or Subtle Snail), which was first documented by the threat intelligence firm early last year.
“Operating in late 2023 through 2025, UNC1549 employed sophisticated initial access vectors, including abuse of third-party relationships to gain entry (pivoting from service providers to their customers), VDI breakouts from third-parties, and highly targeted, role-relevant phishing,” researchers Mohamed El-Banna, Daniel Lee, Mike Stokkel, and Josh Goddard said.

Six Years After Iran’s November 2019 Uprising, PMOI Resistance Units Prove the Uprising’s Flame Burns Brighter Than Ever
Six years ago this month, the Iranian regime unleashed a wave of brutal violence to crush a nationwide popular uprising, murdering at least 1,500 protesters in what became known as “Bloody Aban,” or the November 2019 uprising. The regime hoped that bullets and bloodshed would extinguish the Iranian people’s demand for freedom. Today, on the sixth anniversary of that massacre, a series of coordinated, nationwide campaigns by the PMOI’s Resistance Units proves that hope was a fatal miscalculation. The spirit of that uprising is not only alive but has grown more organized, strategic, and defiant, signaling an irrevocable confrontation between the Iranian people and the ruling theocracy.
Iranian Children, Victims of Poverty, Discrimination, and a Child-Killing Regime
World Children’s Day is meant to be a moment to reflect on the future of children, the very individuals who should shape a bright tomorrow. Yet in Iran, this day has become a reminder of the suffering of millions of children. Iranian children are deprived of joy, play, and education, and instead confronted with economic poverty, malnutrition, child marriage, forced labor, and widespread psychological and physical harm. This tragedy unfolds despite Iran being one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources—resources looted and plundered by a corrupt ruling elite.
On a hot summer afternoon, as cars stop at a red light, a small pleading voice breaks through the traffic noise: “Ma’am, buy gum. It’s really tasty. It feels good in the summer—you won’t get thirsty.”

Growing International Alarm as Iran Regime’s Nuclear Transparency Collapses Amid Heightened Tensions
Western diplomats warn that Iran’s regime is obstructing nuclear inspections as concerns deepen over missing high-enriched uranium and increased post-attack activity around key sites. A new report by Bloomberg highlights mounting international concern over the trajectory of Iran regime’s nuclear program as Tehran continues to block critical inspections and sidestep global demands for transparency. Western diplomats say Iran’s regime has ignored calls to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, deepening a months-long stalemate. According to the report, diplomats remain alarmed by the unresolved status of Iran’s highly enriched uranium, including material approaching weapons-grade levels.
