IAEA Chief: Iran Stonewalls Nuclear Investigations Amid Alarming Enrichment Surge
At the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna on June 9, Director General Rafael Grossi expressed grave concern over the Iranian regime’s ongoing obstruction of nuclear inspections and its rapid accumulation of highly enriched uranium. Grossi stated that the regime has failed to provide credible explanations for the presence of man-made uranium particles at three undeclared sites—Varamin, Marivan, and Turquzabad—while actively sanitizing locations and halting legal obligations under its safeguards agreement.
Despite diplomatic engagement, including Grossi’s recent meeting with the regime’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Cairo, Iran has not resolved key safeguards issues. Grossi warned the agency is unable to verify the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program and highlighted the proliferation risks posed by its growing stockpile—now over 400 kg—of highly enriched uranium.
Analysis of the IAEA’s Comprehensive Iran NPT Safeguards Report May 2025
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on May 31, 2025, released a comprehensive report on Iran’s non-compliance with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) safeguards obligations. The report was requested by the Board of Governors in a November 2024 resolution.
The IAEA has been investigating Iran’s undeclared nuclear material, activities, and facilities for over two decades, with a new major investigation ongoing since 2019. The agency previously investigated Iran’s covert nuclear activities from 2002 to 2015, pausing from 2015-2018 while the Iran nuclear deal was in effect. With the evaluation of all safeguards-relevant information in 2018 and 2019, the IAEA identified a number of questions related to possible undeclared nuclear material and activities and requested answers.

Regime Change by Iranian People and Resistance Is the Only Solution, PMOI Resistance Units Say
On June 6, in the heart of Zahedan, a city living under the weight of severe repression and intense security surveillance, and amidst a wave of daily executions waged by the regime to intimidate Baluch citizens, Resistance Units carried out bold activities to break the wall of fear. These actions come at a time when the regime is issuing death sentences against supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), which doubles the risk of these activities.
The Resistance Units are organized cells and networks of supporters of the Iranian Resistance active within Iranian cities. Their primary goal is to break the atmosphere of terror imposed by the regime, mobilize public opinion, and keep the flame of resistance burning through various activities such as distributing leaflets and writing on walls, which poses a direct challenge to the machine of repression.

Rising Crime and Public Insecurity in Iran: The Tragic Consequences of a Failing State
The tragic murders of Amir Mohammad Khaleghi in January 2025 and Elaheh Hosseinnejad in May of the same year have sent shockwaves through Iranian society. Both were killed in public spaces during robberies—heinous acts that have come to symbolize a broader societal breakdown. These murders are not isolated incidents, but rather stark indicators of a growing crisis in public security, rooted in economic desperation and systemic governmental failure.
According to Iran’s official statistical yearbook, recorded robbery rates rose dramatically from 717 cases per 100,000 people in 2012 to 1,100 in 2023. During the same period, the murder rate increased from 2.5 to over 3 per 100,000 people. This trend coincides with a sharp rise in poverty, unemployment, and inflation—conditions that often give rise to social instability and criminal behavior.
Iran Regime’s Regional Repression Strategy: A Step-by-Step Model for Nationwide Control
In recent years, the Iranian regime has escalated its repressive policies against civil liberties through a calculated and regionally phased approach. Rather than imposing these measures uniformly, the regime first tests them in specific provinces or cities and, if effective, gradually expands their application to neighboring areas. This method has become especially pronounced in matters related to women’s rights, personal freedoms, and cultural restrictions, signaling a broader strategy of social engineering and authoritarian consolidation.
One notable example is the partial implementation of the controversial Chastity and Hijab bill in the city of Isfahan. Despite official claims that the bill’s rollout had been halted, its enforcement in Isfahan revealed the regime’s preference for covert, decentralized policy experimentation.
