Iran urges IAEA to condemn US strikes on nuclear sites

Jun 22, 2025, 08:41 GMT+1

Iran asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn and address the US military strikes on its nuclear facilities.

In a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami protested the attacks on Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, and said the US, as a permanent UN Security Council member, must uphold the UN Charter.

“Even the threat of an attack against nuclear facilities is prohibited under international mechanisms,” Eslami wrote, calling on Grossi to take action.

The letter urged “peace-loving” nations to act in support of international law under the NPT framework.

40 missiles were launched in the 20th wave of attacks on Israel, including the first use of third-generation multiple-warhead Kheibar Shekan missiles, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Sunday.

"The missiles used had maneuverable warheads during descent, were guided until the moment of impact, and were equipped with various types of high-explosive and destructive warheads," IRGC said in a statement.

Iran has legal right to exit NPT after US strikes, MP says

Jun 22, 2025, 08:06 GMT+1

Iran may legally withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) following US strikes on its nuclear sites, an Iranian lawmaker said Sunday.

The attacks on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan constitute a “clear violation of international obligations,” Abbas Golroo, head of parliament’s foreign relations committee said, cited Article 10 of the NPT as grounds for exit.

The Islamic Republic would explore legal and international options in response, he added.

Under Article 10, a party may withdraw if it determines its supreme interests are jeopardized, with three months’ notice to other treaty members.
