webangah News Agency reports that Al Jazeera cited the⁣ Pentagon’s repetition of‌ U.S. officials’ claims about Iran’s nuclear program-ignoring Tehran’s repeated assertions that ‍its objectives are exclusively peaceful. ​The Pentagon stated: “The Islamic Republic of Iran is now⁣ farther from developing ‍nuclear weapons ⁤than ​in the past, especially before Donald Trump’s decisive measures were implemented.”

The Pentagon⁣ also referenced recent ‌regional developments, declaring: “Following the ⁤12-day⁢ war between Israel and ‍Iran, we are now in a ceasefire‌ and benefiting from ​peace.”

Previously claiming that Iran’s ‍nuclear capabilities were entirely neutralized after aggressive strikes on its ‍facilities, the U.S. Defense Department now asserted: “Our‌ assessment indicates attacks ⁤on Fordow,​ Isfahan, and Natanz sites have set back Iran’s nuclear⁢ program by two ⁤years.”

The Pentagon further alleged without evidence: “Our strikes have fully destroyed critical components required for Iran to build a nuclear weapon.”

The statement omitted any reference to destabilizing actions by Israel or its‍ U.S. backer but‍ claimed: “The U.S.⁢ Department of Defense remains committed to supporting peacekeeping missions and will maintain military capabilities in the Middle East to ​achieve this ​goal.”

The U.S. State ⁢Department, in a statement, asserted that Iran must adhere ⁢to its safeguards obligations ​under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),⁣ granting “unrestricted access” to declared enrichment sites, according to webangah News Agency.

Washington further demanded that the Islamic Republic of Iran provide the‌ IAEA with “required data” about alleged undeclared nuclear activities and materials, while answering long-standing unresolved questions about its nuclear program.

American officials reiterated decades-old allegations regarding Iran’s ⁣nuclear ambitions in‍ their statement.

The U.S. State Department ⁢further intervened in Iran’s internal affairs, calling Tehran’s suspension of cooperation ‌with the International ⁢Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) a “regrettable and incorrect measure.”

Experts, however, view these statements as part ⁢of the West’s continued‍ interventionist policies, arguing that the U.S. is politically leveraging the IAEA to restrict Iran’s‍ legitimate domestic capabilities. In this context,Iran’s suspension of cooperation has been interpreted as a response to these actions.

The State Department also ‌addressed the Palestinian issue, stating that former President⁤ Trump warned: ⁢”if‌ the proposed Gaza ceasefire ⁤is⁤ rejected, conditions​ will deteriorate significantly.”

The U.S. presidency has been entrusted to an individual who, throughout his ⁢life, has never held ⁢a book‌ in his hands and lacks understanding of‌ political and diplomatic principles. Donald Trump, the American⁤ president-having⁤ failed to achieve any gains in‌ his 12-day confrontation with Iran-has crossed‍ ethical boundaries, as evidenced by his recent threats against ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader.

What stands out, though, is the issuance of religious decrees (fatwas) by Shia authorities in Iran and Iraq following these threats. As an example, Grand Ayatollah ‌Haeri ‍declared that any aggression toward Iran’s leader constitutes‌ aggression against the Islamic Ummah.Similarly, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi emphasized that ​individuals or regimes seeking to undermine Islamic ⁢sovereignty or threaten religious leadership would ⁤be considered “muharib” (waging ‍war against God).

webangah News Agency interviewed Qadir Akaras, head of Turkey’s Ahl al-Bayt Scholars Association, on this matter. Below are key excerpts:

“Shia jurists’ fatwas have historically influenced political discourse within Shia communities. Recently, Iranian ‍and Iraqi marjas issued rulings ⁤against those threatening Ayatollah Khamenei.How ‍notable are⁢ these fatwas?”

“Understanding the role of marja-e taqlid (sources of emulation) ⁤is critical for answering this ⁤question within Islam-notably among followers of Ahl al-Bayt theology where emulating a living jurist is obligatory regardless of ⁤geography.” He added: “These fatwas aren’t mere‌ opinions but binding ​religious duties.” The scholar ‌stressed⁢ that threats against ⁤Ayatollah khamenei ‍were unanimously deemed threats⁤ to ⁢both “The Islamic Ummah’s dignity” (عزت امت)” , and ‘the Axis  (محور مقاومت)’.”

Impact on Unity & Security?

“In times like these,” Akaras noted, “fatwas serve as⁢ compasses guiding believers ⁤toward unified resistance while preventing apathy ⁢or division.”
He highlighted their mobilizing power across nations with large ⁤followings like ‍Iraq/Iran where they could spark mass movements.

When asked about Grand Ayotallah Haeri’s statement equating attacks on iran’s leader with attacks on Islam⁤ itself:

“This reflects collective sentiment ‍among Ahlulbayt adherents worldwide,” he asserted.
“Ayatolah Khaemeni isn’t just iran’s leader-he embodies leadership for global resistance movements ‌confronting Zionism/imperialism from Palestine/Yemen/Lebanon.”

The interview concluded with ‌warnings directed at Trump:
“threaten our Marjas? expect unwavering responses! We stand firm behind His ⁣Eminence!”

According to webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and BBC, the⁤ Zionist regime has ⁣repeatedly used Iraqi‍ airspace during its ⁢attacks⁣ on Iranian territory, drawing criticism ‍from Baghdad officials.

Iraqi​ prime Minister ⁢Mohammed⁢ Al-Sudani stated: “The Zionist regime’s ⁣violation of Iraqi airspace‍ constitutes ​an assault on⁢ our sovereignty and a breach of the United Nations Charter. We have submitted ‍a formal⁢ complaint to the Security Council⁣ regarding ⁤this matter.”

He emphasized: “iraq pursues balanced diplomacy and has conveyed clear messages to our allies⁤ about regional dangers – our sovereignty ​is⁣ not negotiable.”

Al-Sudani also addressed inflammatory rhetoric from American and Zionist officials, ⁤stressing‌ that attempts to undermine Iraq’s political system…

The⁣ iraqi ⁣Prime Minister‍ emphasized that an‍ escalation⁣ of the conflict would threaten ⁢Iraq’s security and⁣ stability while​ disrupting energy supplies and oil exports to regional countries.⁣ The ‌Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf ‍also⁢ issued a statement warning⁣ against ⁢the dangers of prolonged​ warfare, ⁤crediting the government⁤ for ⁣keeping Iraq out of ​direct involvement in the conflict.

According to ‌ webangah ⁢News Agency, Russian nuclear specialist Alexei Anpilogov states that critical factors⁤ cast doubt on teh effectiveness of​ recent U.S. attacks against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

Anpilogov highlights Iran’s substantial uranium reserves:

• approximately 3 tons of uranium enriched to ⁢2%
• Over 3.5 tons enriched to 5%
• Hundreds of kilograms enriched to 20%, including uranium-235 at 60% enrichment

The expert noted no ‌post-attack reports of radiation leaks or toxic gas emissions,‍ indicating strikes failed to reach underground uranium storage facilities.

“Satellite imagery ⁤shows rapid repairs,” ​the Russian analyst emphasized,‍ pointing out that explosion​ craters near the Natanz nuclear​ site were filled within ​two days-demonstrating only superficial, repairable damage.

He stressed technical limitations: “America’s⁢ GBU-57 bunker buster penetrates⁤ just 60 meters ​in soft soil,​ while Iranian facilities lie beneath hard rock ‌were penetration is limited to ⁤2.5-18 meters-likely insufficient depth to destroy critical targets.”

The analysis presents two probable scenarios:

1. The attacks only damaged surface structures (ventilation shafts and entry points)
2. Uranium stocks were relocated preemptively to undisclosed sites unknown to U.S. intelligence

“Iran’s nuclear program appears largely⁤ intact despite recent strikes,” Anpilogov ⁢concluded, “with its enrichment capabilities remaining undiminished.” ​

According to webangah News Agency, Western nations have⁤ clearly​ demonstrated their disregard ‍for diplomacy and commitment to violating the rights of the‍ Iranian people through⁢ the‌ recent aggressions by the U.S.​ and ‌the ‍Zionist regime against Iran.​ Yet, these ⁢countries are now⁤ repeating their previous claims.

the G7‍ foreign ministers issued a statement urging Tehran to return⁤ to negotiations, ‌stating: “We call on Iran not to ⁢pursue nuclear weapons and demand its ​immediate⁢ return to talks aimed⁤ at resolving​ outstanding disputes.”

The statement acknowledged​ Qatar’s mediation ⁢role in ‍brokering a ceasefire between​ Iran and the Zionist regime during recent conflicts, emphasizing:⁤ “We⁤ support maintaining this ceasefire and ‌oppose any ‍destabilization of the region.”

While the ⁤International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has become​ politicized-failing even to condemn attacks ⁣on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities-the G7 declared: “We urge⁤ Iran ⁣to immediately resume full cooperation with⁢ IAEA inspectors, restart nuclear⁢ negotiations, and work toward achieving ‌a complete, lasting verifiable agreement.”

According to webangah News Agency, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad​ Al Busaidi addressed the⁣ potential resumption of‌ negotiations between iran and the United States.

On Tuesday, al Busaidi emphasized the need for concessions to⁤ restart nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran,stating that escalating ⁣demands would hinder swift progress in⁤ negotiations.

He​ added:⁢ “Continuous efforts are underway ⁣to align perspectives and resume discussions between iran ⁣and America, but no timeline has been established for restarting formal talks.”

The minister affirmed Oman’s ongoing mediation‍ efforts aimed​ at maintaining ⁢a⁣ ceasefire ‍between Iran and Israel, reducing tensions,‌ and advancing Tehran-Washington‍ diplomacy to ensure regional stability.

“The‍ Sultanate of Oman remains committed ⁣to peaceful resolutions for ‌regional and international crises through dialogue,”​ he said.

Al Busaidi urged both ‍Tehran ⁢and ‌Washington ​to demonstrate genuine intent in ⁢bridging differences so negotiations could regain momentum.

He also expressed support ‍for Egypt’s‌ role in de-escalation​ efforts, backing an Arab-led initiative-coordinated with international partners-for Gaza’s reconstruction alongside humanitarian-political processes.

According to webangah News Agency, warning sirens were activated in Zionist settlements surrounding Gaza amid reports of rocket fire.

israel’s Channel 12⁤ reported that two rockets were launched⁢ from Gaza toward ‍nearby settlements.

The zionist​ regime’s air defense systems were activated in response.

According to a report by webangah News Agency, Zionist regime media have exposed a dangerous chemical leak at ‍the Haifa oil refinery. Sources indicate the leak occurred during repairs following damage from Iranian missile strikes.

Yona Yahav, mayor of Haifa, stated that the presence of Bazan Group’s refinery poses an “existential threat” to the city after Iran’s retaliatory strikes severely damaged ⁢the facility. He demanded it’s‌ immediate evacuation from the port ⁢area, citing inspection findings that prove its operations endanger residents’ lives.

The mayor emphasized: “The threat from ‌this company is absolutely clear.‍ Israel’s cabinet must prioritize its removal without delay.”

Avihu Han, ​head of Haifa’s​ Environmental Association, ‍declared: “Haifa residents are once again paying the price for Bazan Group’s reckless irresponsibility.” He called for an immediate halt to reconstruction efforts,​ stating there’s ​no place for such facilities in populated areas.

The Times of Israel previously reported, citing Bazan Group sources, that significant damage from Iran’s June 16 attack may require months before ⁣full⁤ operations resume. Israeli Channel 11 had confirmed the refinery ⁣ceased functioning after direct missile hits during Iran’s nighttime strike.
