UN’s nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, says No proof of Nuclear Program In Iran

 

The UN’s nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, says inspectors have not found evidence of a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons despite Israeli and US claims.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi told NBC News that the agency had not identified “elements of a systematic and structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons” in Iran.

At the same time, he confirmed that Tehran has enriched uranium to 60 percent purity – a level far beyond civilian energy needs.

Grossi said such enrichment is something “only countries with nuclear weapons have”.

He stressed that inspectors could not conclude Iran intends to build a bomb, but said the stockpiling raised serious questions.

This enrichment, he said, was “the source of the concerns we had”, and there was “no clear objective” for accumulating material at that level.

“The centrifuges were spinning constantly and producing more and more of that material,” he said, adding that theoretically this would have been “enough to produce more than 10 nuclear warheads. But do they have them? No.”

BREAKING: Tehran Says only China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz

 

Iran has announced that it will allow only China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz , as an expression of gratitude for Beijing’s supportive stance toward Tehran during the war.

According to China now, as the war with United States, Israel rang on, the strait has been closed to all other ships without exception, with a clear warning that any unauthorized crossing will be directly targeted by Iranian forces.

Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman said the country’s military capabilities would soon force its adversaries into a deadlock and compel them to stop the war, the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Reza Talaei-Nik said Iran’s “jihadi will,” tactical capabilities and weapons power are at a level that will leave the enemy facing a stalemate in the coming days and ultimately force a halt to the fighting.

He added that Iran’s “offensive defense" would continue with strength.

According to a report by Press TV, the largest US radar in the Persian Gulf that was capable of monitoring the entire Middle East, used for early warning with a range of 5,000 km and a price of 1.1 billion dollars, was targeted and destroyed by Iranian Missiles.

Iran’s IRGC in an announcement also said, the second American THAAD anti-missile defense system in the West Asia region was hit by the precision missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force and was taken out of operational orbit. Tehran Times reported.

Yesterday, the THAAD radar stationed at Al Ruwais base in the UAE was also destroyed. With the destruction of these two systems, the missile hand of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been opened for successful target hits.

AFP reports that Iran has stepped up its attacks on economic targets and US missions across the Middle East on Tuesday as President Donald Trump warned it was "too late" for the Islamic republic to seek talks to escape the war

Israel’s air force struck the building housing Iran’s Council of Experts in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday in an attempt to disrupt the process of appointing a new supreme leader, Axios reported, citing an Israeli defense official.

The official said the strike occurred while votes were being counted and that the aim was to prevent the clerical body from selecting a successor to former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated on Saturday in the first wave of Israeli strikes.

"We wanted to prevent them from picking a new supreme leader," Axios quoted the unnamed Israeli official as saying.

It was not immediately clear how many of the council’s 88 members were in the building at the time or the extent of the damage, the report said.

Donald Trump: “Big Wave” of US Military Action Against Iran Is Still To Come

United States President Donald Trump has said a “big wave” of US military action against Iran is still to come, describing the current campaign as only the beginning, and claimed 49 Iranian leaders were killed in initial strikes.

According to a Blomberg, the UAE and Qatar are privately lobbying allies to help them persuade Trump to reach for an off-ramp that would keep US military operations against Iran short, sources say.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said US and Israel's attacks on hospitals strike at life itself. Attacks on schools target a nation's future. Targeting patients and children blatantly violates humanitarian principles. The world must condemn it. I stand with my grieving nation. Iran will not remain silent or yield to these crimes.

According to an AFP report, Trump says Iran operations likely to last 4 to 5 weeks, but says he's prepared "to go far longer than that."

IRGC Claims Devastating Missile Strike on Israeli PM’s Office and Air Force HQ, Fate of Netanyahu Remains Unknown

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a high-stakes escalation this morning, claiming to have targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office with a "tenth wave" of Kheybar ballistic missiles. In the same coordinated strike, Tehran reported hitting the headquarters of the Israeli Air Force commander.

IRGC have also unleashed the 11th wave of the latest barrage with over 700 drones and hundreds of missiles targeting US and Israeli forces

According to Sputnik, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the 11th wave of its True Promise Four operation: a combined, large-scale strike by the IRGC’s navy and air force targeting US and Israeli bases on the third day of the war on Iran.

United States  information centers and supply depots in the Persian Gulf, the Israeli army communications network in Be’er Sheva and over 20 targets in Tel Aviv, West Jerusalem and Galilee were hit.

Since the start of the war on Saturday, Iranian forces have attacked 60 strategic targets and 500 US and Israeli positions, launching over 700 drones and hundreds of missiles – surpassing the number during last-year’s 12-day war in just the last 48 hours.

The IRGC said the brutal US and Israeli attacks against defenseless Iranian civilians – including attacks on hospitals, schools and civilian infrastructure – have only strengthened Iran’s resolve to wage a total war against its enemies.

While the IRGC has characterized the status of the Prime Minister as "unknown" following the surprise attack, Israeli officials and local reports from Jerusalem indicate no confirmed injuries or visible damage to the government compound. Despite the dramatic claims from Tehran, traffic in the area reportedly continues to flow normally, and several Israeli analysts have dismissed the report as psychological warfare. 

Tehran asserts the use of Kheibar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missiles in a "tenth wave" of strikes targeting the Israeli PM’s office and Air Force Command HQ.

•While Iranian state media reports the "fate of the Israeli Prime Minister is unknown," the IDF and Israeli officials have formally categorized these claims as psychological warfare/propaganda, stating that all projectiles targeting government compounds were successfully neutralized.

Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier has been reportedly vacated the Persian gulf as IRGC targeting the US war ships.

US will regrets miscalculation: Iran is ready for a long war, unlike Washington - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani

 A Senior Iranian official, Ali Larijani has said Iran has prepared for a long war and is acting only in self-defense in the current conflict with the United States and Israel.

In a post on his X page, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Iran did not start the war and that its armed forces had engaged only in defensive action. He said Iran would defend itself “regardless of the costs” and would make its enemies regret what he called a miscalculation.

Prof Mirandi of Tehran University was also reportedly said that Iran has been preparing for this since the Iraq invasion of 2003.

They knew that they would be next sometime in the future

Hence, Iran may never involved in any ceasefire against the United States and Israel as a retaliations for all the Iranian leaders killed including the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday said the conflict with Iran “is not Iraq” and would not become an endless war, describing current operations as limited and focused on eliminating specific military threats.

“This is not endless,” Hegseth said at a news conference, adding that the mission was “clear, devastating and decisive” and aimed at destroying Iran’s offensive missile capabilities, missile production and naval assets so that it will “never have nuclear weapons.”

Will Iran stop the retaliatory attacks for any negotiations with the US and Israeli? 

Iranian Gen. Jabbar has said the Americans have relocated the majority of their aircraft to Cyprus; we will launch so many missiles at Cyprus that they will be forced to flee from there as well.

According to a report by Al Jazeera, US Air Force General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, says the joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran is "not a single overnight mission... We expect to take additional losses."

All U.S. military bases have been placed on heightened alert under Threat Condition signaling an increased risk of attack.

According to Tehran Times, the Iran's IRGC has reportedly destroyed the oil tanker Stena Imperative, which was flying the United States flag, while it was in the port of Bahrain. The vessel was hit by Iranian drone or missile fire on Monday, according to the Reuters and other outlets that cited the maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. There was no immediate comment from US authorities.

IRGC in a statement on Monday said: We’ve just started using the 2nd generation missiles today. In the upcoming days, you’ll witness the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th generation missiles if needed. 

Gen. Jabbari: To date, we have launched approximately 3,000 first- and second-generation missiles and approximately 10,000 drones

In the coming days, we will certainly deploy third- and fourth-generation missiles.
