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.

In a chilling accusation, the Director of Al-Shifa Hospital claims that Israel is preparing a major massacre in Gaza and has begun by targeting journalists to silence the truth. Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea, along with three cameramen, were killed in a strike near the hospital. Al Jazeera has called it a "targeted assassination" and a direct attack on press freedom. The IDF claims the journalists were affiliated with Hamas but has provided no credible evidence. With international outrage growing and journalists under fire, is this the beginning of a blackout before a bloodbath?

Hamas has condemned what it calls a “targeted assassination” of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, after an Israeli strike hit a tent for reporters outside Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital. Among the dead is veteran correspondent Anas al-Sharif, along with journalist Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and assistant photojournalist Mohammed Noufal. Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately attacking the press, calling it another blatant assault on press freedom.
The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed outrage, demanding accountability. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed targeting Sharif, alleging he led a Hamas terrorist cell. The killings have sparked global condemnation, with media rights groups warning that attacks on journalists are eroding international protections for the press in conflict zones. Hamas vowed to honor the “martyrs” and accused Israel of silencing voices that document its actions in Gaza. The incident further escalates tensions amid the ongoing war.

Iran has issued a sharp “final” warning to block a U.S.-backed trade corridor through southern Armenia, part of a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan announced by Donald Trump. The route would give Azerbaijan direct access to Nakhchivan and Turkey, boosting regional trade while granting the U.S. exclusive development rights. Tehran has flexed military muscle to signal opposition, calling the plan a “graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries.” While analysts doubt Iran’s ability to militarily stop the corridor, tensions are rising across the Caucasus.

Iran has issued a stunning ultimatum to the U.S., demanding compensation for damages from the recent U.S.-Israel strikes before resuming nuclear talks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Trump’s 2018 JCPOA withdrawal for eroding trust and slammed Washington for using diplomacy as a cover for aggression. Iran insists on real guarantees, rejects U.S. calls for zero enrichment, and warns that rising anti-negotiation sentiment in Tehran could end talks permanently unless America changes course with serious confidence-building measures.

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat.
Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—and plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.

In a striking show of regional power and coordination, Iran and Russia have launched CASAREX 2025—a large-scale joint search-and-rescue naval drill in the Caspian Sea. The three-day exercise, titled “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea,” is hosted by Iran’s Northern Fleet and involves elite units from the Iranian Navy, IRGC, and Law Enforcement Command.
A Russian naval vessel has already entered Iranian waters to begin the operational phase in the Imam Reza (AS) Maritime District. Military observers from other Caspian nations are present, further highlighting growing regional cooperation. Defense experts view this as a major geopolitical signal of Iran-Russia maritime alignment and a direct rebuttal to Western influence in regional waters. This unprecedented drill underscores rising multipolar power dynamics, boosting Tehran and Moscow’s call for autonomous regional security. The Caspian, once overlooked, is fast becoming a strategic stage in the global power competition.

Iran's General Gheybpavar Dies Mysteriously, Israel's Hit On 20 Top Commanders Exposed | World News
The Middle East is on high alert as the shadow war between Iran and Israel erupts into open conflict, with Tehran now mourning the loss of a key military figure.
In a major development, prominent Iranian Brigadier General Gholamhossein Gheybpavar has died. While initial reports from Iran's Fars News Agency attribute his death to long-standing chemical injuries from the Iran-Iraq war, the timing raises critical questions. His passing comes in the immediate aftermath of "Operation Rising Lion," a massive, covert Israeli operation on June 13 that has reportedly sparked a full-scale war between the two nations. This operation is said to be the cause of death for nearly 20 other top Iranian commanders, making Gheybpavar's death highly suspicious.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) allegedly targeted critical Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, and military bases across Tehran, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes were precise and devastating, with raids in Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Tehran successfully eliminating a significant portion of Iran's senior military leadership. This has created a power vacuum and a crisis within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Brig. Gen. Gheybpavar was a formidable figure in Iran's military establishment, having previously led the powerful Basij paramilitary force and the IRGC's Fajr Corps. His death leaves a significant void, even as Iran scrambles to fill key leadership roles with a new generation of officers. The situation remains tense and unpredictable, with the world watching to see what happens next in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict.

Iran has issued a grave warning to the U.S. and Israel, threatening regional retaliation if the fragile ceasefire collapses. IRGC spokesman General Shekarchi declared that American and Israeli bases in West Asia are within missile and drone range. Claiming severe damage was already inflicted on U.S. forces in Qatar and Israeli infrastructure, Shekarchi vowed that future retaliation would be “even more destructive.” Tehran stressed peaceful intentions—but warned it will cross “all red lines” if provoked again.
