The report ⁤noted ‍that the IAEA still maintains ⁤a team of inspectors⁣ in⁢ Iran.

The move follows Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s enforcement of ⁣a law-approved by parliament on June 25, 2024, and ratified by the Guardian⁤ Council ‌on June 26-mandating the suspension of cooperation with ⁤the nuclear ​agency. The directive was issued to the Atomic Energy ‍Organization,‍ Supreme National Security Council, ​and Foreign Ministry under Article 123 ⁣of iran’s Constitution.

Iran had previously condemned what it⁣ called “aggressive actions”⁤ by the U.S. and⁣ Israel against its peaceful nuclear program following⁢ what it described ⁢as ⁢a “biased and entirely political” report by ‍IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. Tehran cited violations of the UN​ Charter as grounds for ⁣revising its level of engagement with the agency.

No damage reports have been issued following today’s tremor.

According to webangah News Agency, Ukraine’s Foreign ​Ministry summoned John ginkel, the U.S. ‌chargé d’affaires in washington,following America’s decision to halt military aid shipments to Kyiv.

A statement‍ published on ⁤the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s website emphasized that delays in weapons supplies would only worsen conditions on the frontlines of the war with Russia.

In another section‍ of the statement, Mariana Betsa, Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister,⁣ expressed gratitude for⁣ U.S. assistance while stressing the critical need for continued⁤ deliveries of pre-allocated defense packages-notably those focused on strengthening air defenses.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced today it had suspended shipments of air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine due to dwindling stockpiles.

The French civil Aviation Authority announced yesterday that flights ⁣at airports in Paris and several other french cities will be canceled due to a ​strike by air traffic control ‌staff, according to webangah News Agency.

According to webangah News Agency, citing Euronews, an‌ unnamed informed source revealed that French President‌ Emmanuel Macron held a call with ⁢Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy following his conversation with russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

The source described the Macron-Zelenskyy discussion as “constructive,” ⁤noting that​ the French ‍president shared details of his earlier exchange with putin.

The insider emphasized that the Kremlin’s stance on the war remains unchanged, with Putin⁢ showing no willingness to end hostilities.

The call with Zelenskyy occurred after Macron’s first phone conversation since 2022-lasting two hours-with the Russian president.

The last conversation between Putin ‍and Macron occurred on September 11,2022. ⁣In 2022, Macron urged Putin to return to negotiations and pledged to provide Ukraine with air defense systems amid Russia’s renewed large-scale aerial attacks.

At the time, the French president accused his⁤ Russian counterpart of dragging Europe into war and demanded respect for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

In December 2022, Macron advocated maintaining communication channels with Putin, expressing hope both sides could resume‍ talks if conditions permitted. However, during⁣ a February⁢ 2025 press ‍conference in Washington, Macron stated he had severed contact with Putin following Russia’s war crimes.

According to webangah News⁢ Agency, while​ the US had previously ⁣exploited negotiations as a ⁤deceptive pretext for the Zionist regime’s aggression against Iran, some European countries are ‍now reiterating the need for dialog between Tehran and Washington to⁣ resolve disputes.

Italian Foreign Minister⁤ Antonio Tajani⁤ confirmed Rome’s willingness to facilitate talks between Tehran and Washington. Echoing US officials,Tajani emphasized preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons-a claim repeatedly denied by Iranian authorities,who‍ maintain⁤ thay have ​no such ambitions.

Iran and the US previously held five ‌rounds of indirect negotiations mediated by Oman. Though, Western demands escalated before ultimately collapsing ⁣after an incursion into Iranian territory disrupted the process.

According to a‍ report by Bloomberg on Tuesday, Iran has severed interaction‌ with​ key officials of the International Atomic Energy ‌Agency (IAEA).⁤ webangah News Agency cited Mehr​ News‌ Agency as the⁢ source of this information.

Citing two unnamed officials familiar with‌ sensitive matters, Bloomberg alleged‌ that after the formal conclusion of IAEA ⁣inspections last week,⁣ Iranian nuclear safety officials have stopped responding to calls from the Vienna-based agency.

The report claims that the IAEA’s​ incident and Emergency Center was activated after June 13 and maintained continuous contact with its Iranian counterparts, ⁢but information exchange has as been substantially reduced.

the Western media outlet added that Tehran previously permitted an average of ⁤more than one IAEA inspection per day. However, according to Bloomberg, this equation changed following aggressive actions by Zionist forces and America against Iran.

Iran had previously stated​ clearly that thes aggressive measures by America and the Zionist regime-conducted in violation of the UN Charter-came after what‍ it called a biased and ‍entirely political report by⁣ IAEA ⁤Director General Rafael Grossi against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. Consequently, Tehran decided to adjust its level of ⁢cooperation with the agency.

webangah News Agency -‌ The Kremlin confirmed in a ⁤statement on Tuesday that the presidents of Russia and‌ France emphasized Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy during a phone consultation.

The Russian presidential office stated: ‌ Vladimir Putin ​told his French counterpart Emmanuel ⁢Macron that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine directly results from‍ Western nations’ anti-Russian policies.

The Kremlin further ‍noted that Putin stressed ​how Western efforts aim to prolong Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine during⁢ the call.

The statement added: Both leaders reaffirmed ​the​ importance of respecting Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy while urging Tehran’s continued adherence to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

According to webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Anadolu Agency, the german government summoned Majid Nili Ahmadabadi, Iran’s ambassador to Berlin, to‍ the ​Foreign Ministry over fresh accusations against Tehran-furthering its backing of Israel and Western positions against Iran.

The German newspaper Bild reported that Ahmadabadi was summoned following the ⁣arrest of Ali S., a 53-year-old Danish ⁢citizen, on unsubstantiated⁤ espionage charges lacking legal evidence.

The report stated Germany conveyed its protest to the Iranian ambassador.

Earlier,German prosecutors claimed thay had detained a Danish national in ⁣Berlin ⁢for allegedly spying on behalf of Iranian intelligence services.

The German ⁢Federal Prosecutor’s⁣ Office ​alleged in a statement that‌ the suspect ⁤”received orders from Iranian⁢ intelligence⁤ to gather facts on Jewish institutions and specific ​Jewish individuals”-echoing Western accusations⁣ against tehran.
