UN Nuclear Chief Says It’s Possible Iran’s Highly Enriched Uranium ‘Is There’<\/h3>\n

VIENNA, June 25 (Reuters) – There is a chance that much of Iran’s highly enriched uranium survived\u00a0Israeli and U.S. attacks<\/a>\u00a0because it may have been moved by Tehran soon after the first strikes, U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Israel repeatedly struck Iranian nuclear facilities during its\u00a012-day war<\/a>\u00a0with Tehran, and U.S. forces bombed Iran’s underground nuclear facilities at the weekend, but the\u00a0extent of the damage<\/a>\u00a0to its stocks of enriched uranium is unclear.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Iranian Resistance: \u201cThe West Must Stop the Nuclear Bomb \u2013 The Future Lies in Democracy\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tehran, July 25, 2025 \u2013 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\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), founded in 1981. Dalir, who has spent 46 years promoting resistance against the ayatollahs\u2019 regime, lives in exile but keeps his thoughts fixed on Tehran, hoping for a future free of religious dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Kamran Dalir describes Iran as a powder keg, plagued by poverty, repression, and mounting economic hardship. \u201cThe people want freedom and democracy,\u201d he explains, \u201cbut the regime responds with repression, executions, torture, and imprisonment.\u201d Despite the harsh reality, Dalir highlights the resilience of the Iranian people, who have launched four major uprisings in the past seven years \u2014 the most recent in September 2022, when the regime\u2019s rule was seriously shaken.<\/p>\n

Norwegian Indicted for Espionage Against Norway and the U.S. for Russia and Iran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Norwegian citizen has been indicted for serious espionage, according to a fresh indictment from the National Prosecuting Authority (NAST).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a rare type of case. It\u2019s the first time we are prosecuting under these specific provisions,\u201d said prosecutor Carl Fari to NRK.\u00a0In total, the defendant faces up to 21 years in prison. The man is charged with having disclosed several pieces of information which, \u201cindividually or collectively,\u201d could \u201charm fundamental national interests,\u201d according to the indictment.<\/p>\n

He acknowledges the factual events but denies criminal guilt, said his defense attorney Inger Zadig of Elden Law Firm to NRK.<\/p>\n

“The True Force for Change Lies at the Very Heart of Iran: A People Standing Tall.”<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 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,\u201d emphasize the authors of this collective op-ed, signed notably by Yves Bonnet, Jean-Pierre Brard, and Gilbert Mitterrand.<\/p>\n

Tehran is escalating its arrogance, accusing our two nationals, C\u00e9cile 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.<\/p>\n

Daines on Fox Business: Iran\u2019s Nuclear Program Will Never Be Peaceful<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

U.S. SENATE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>U.S. Senator Steve Daines today joined Fox Business to\u00a0discuss Iran\u2019s nuclear program and how it will never be used for peaceful purposes. Daines also discussed trade with China and President Trump\u2019s visit to the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

Daines on Iran\u2019s nuclear program:<\/strong> \u201cLook I don\u2019t trust this Iranian regime. I trust them about as far as I can throw them. They have no credibility. There\u2019s no veracity to what they are saying. Why is it that we had to send B-2\u2019s 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\u2019d be in the light, it\u2019d be on the surface. If they want peaceful nuclear capabilities, that\u2019s an easy problem to solve. They can buy that on the open market. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Global Experts Warn of Repeat 1988 Massacre as Iran Regime Calls for Mass Killings<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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 \u201cthe risk of another mass atrocity, reminiscent of the 1988 massacre, is alarmingly real.\u201d<\/p>\n

This grave warning comes as the regime\u2019s state-controlled media has begun openly inciting mass murder, and its judiciary accelerates the pace of executions, particularly targeting supporters of the organized opposition.<\/p>\n
