Iran IAEA censure
Iran’s nuclear chief slams the hypocrisy of the UN nuclear watchdog for refusing to condemn Israel and the United States' June strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which have been under IAEA supervision. Eslami stressed that the precision of the attacks on a specific room at one of Iran's nuclear sites showed the confidential information handed to the IAEA was abused. He said one of the targets was a plant that produces fuel for Tehran’s research reactor and the production of vital radio-medicines. Eslami said the developments showed the hypocrisy of concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear activities and marred the IAEA’s image. He also described Iran’s nuclear activities as transparent, vowing to continue on the same path despite the persisting pressure by the US and Europeans. The Iranian official called on Western countries to end the double standards they’re applying to Iran.
Plight of Gaza children
Israeli attacks have killed more Palestinians in Gaza, despite the ongoing ceasefire. At least three people were killed in bombings east of Khan Younis, while the regime’s helicopters struck northern Rafah. The armed wing of Hamas and the Red Cross continue to search for the bodies of the captives in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Israel returned 15 more bodies, bringing the total number of dead Palestinians received since the ceasefire to 330. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization stated that nearly four thousand children need urgent medical evacuation and called for all routes to be opened. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening as the regime blocks the entry of much-needed shelters and equipment for dealing with heavy rains. Since the ceasefire began in October, over 260 Palestinians have been killed. And since the regime launched its genocidal war in 2023, the total death toll has exceeded 69,180.
Japan PM under fire
The Japanese Prime Minister has faced increasing demands for resignation over controversial comments about Japan's possible military engagement in the Taiwan Strait. There has been growing outrage in Japan after Prime Minister Takaichi suggested that the Japanese military could use collective self-defense if China uses force against Taiwan. Former Prime Ministers Yukio Hatoyama and Shigeru Ishiba have condemned the statement, calling for it to be retracted. Beijing has also dispatched coast guard vessels into the contested waters off the East China Sea. It has cautioned Chinese students to reconsider their plans to study in Japan. The latest round of tensions follows accusations from Chinese authorities regarding Tokyo's interference in China's internal affairs.
