What could IAEA have done if India had attacked nuclear facility of Pakistan?
Thursday, 15 May 2025 The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did not exist when the atom bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945). It has not been used since then. So, the nuclear watchdog has no experience in handling a nuclear war.
Amid swirling speculation about India's missile strikes during Operation Sindoor, Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal AK Bharti, has firmly denied that Indian forces targeted Pakistan’s nuclear facility at Kirana Hills. Addressing a press conference, Bharti responded to a query by...
Tensions escalated near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed hearing explosions and spotting rising smoke from a nearby auxiliary facility under reported shelling and drone attack. The plant, Europe’s largest and among the top 10 globally, has been under Russian control since March 2022. The blasts began around 9 a.m. and continued through the afternoon, just 1,200 meters from the main plant.
IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that any military activity near nuclear facilities poses a severe threat to global nuclear safety. Meanwhile, new Greenpeace satellite imagery reveals Russia’s attempt to integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant into its energy grid, laying over 80 km of high-voltage power lines from occupied Mariupol and Berdyansk. This incident adds to growing concerns over the militarization and misuse of critical nuclear infrastructure in the ongoing Ukraine war.

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month.

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

On the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, grief fills the streets — but so does anger. Survivors and peace activists gather not just to mourn the past, but to warn the world about the future. As nuclear tensions rise from Ukraine to Gaza, and global powers expand arsenals instead of dismantling them, Hiroshima becomes the rallying cry for a world edging dangerously close to repeating history.
