Iranian nuclear sites sustained 'extremely severe damage', US says
Sunday, 22 June 2025 () Iranian nuclear sites sustained "extremely severe damage and destruction" in air strikes, the US has said - a stance mostly supported by the UN's nuclear watchdog.
A global wave of condemnation is rising after the U.S. launched strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, sparking fears of a wider war. Nations including Pakistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, and Oman condemned the move, calling it a violation of international law. UN Chief Antonio Guterres warned...
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has ruled out hasty or “ill‑considered” diplomacy with the US unless explicit guarantees are made. Speaking to diplomats in Tehran, he condemned last month’s US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a betrayal of diplomacy, demanding assurances that aggression will not repeat if talks resume. Araghchi emphasized Tehran’s focus on securing national interests and accountability from Washington. He warned European nations that invoking the UN “snap‑back” sanctions would be as damaging as military action and could end their role in nuclear diplomacy. Iran insists its victorious counter‑strikes, including its missile attack on al‑Udeid base in Qatar, underscore that it faces no fear in negotiating. But Araghchi cautions that without trust and concrete protections, Iran remains unwilling to rejoin indirect talks with the US.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.
