Quick Look

  • Iran restricted IAEA inspectors' access to its nuclear facilities following actions by the US and Israel, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said.
  • He also rejected European attempts to refer Iran's nuclear dossier back to the UN Security Council.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

European countries considered reinstating UN Security Council sanctions last fall. Iran, China, and Russia maintain that the snapback mechanism is illegal.

TEHRAN, September 7. /TASS/. Iran has restricted access to its nuclear facilities for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) amid the US and Israeli aggression against the country, the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said.

"Western countries’ demands are totally unreasonable, as restrictions on IAEA access to nuclear facilities are a direct consequence of the criminal and aggressive actions by the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel - TASS) against Iran’s nuclear centers," the Iranian diplomat said at a news conference.

According to Baghaei, attempts by European countries to repeatedly submit the Iranian nuclear dossier for consideration to the UN Security Council (UNSC) contradict their own statements from last fall about reinstating UNSC sanctions. "This proves how right the positions of Iran, China, and Russia about the illegitimacy and inapplicability of this [snapback] mechanism are," he added.

Open Questions

  • Which specific IAEA access permissions have been restricted?
  • Will European countries formally trigger the UNSC referral?

German Chancellor Merz refused to change his anti-Russian policy despite the fall in the CDU's ratings

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that he does not intend to change his anti-Russian policy, despite the fact that this position reduces the popularity of the CDU. He also admitted that he sought to quickly bring charges against Russia in connection with the UAV incident at Leipzig airport, although the investigation did not provide evidence. President Putin previously noted Germany’s lack of evidence of threats from the Russian Federation and linked the accusations to Germany’s internal problems.

An expert from the Russian State University for the Humanities called Merz potentially the most unpopular chancellor of post-war Germany

Coordinator of the Philosophical Club 'Civilizational Future of Russia' and Deputy Director of the Center 'Diplomacy of Knowledge' of the Russian State University for the Humanities Artur Bogachev said that Friedrich Merz is potentially the most unpopular chancellor of post-war Germany, noting his persistent destruction of his personal rating on the military agenda after the failure of the CDU in the elections to the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD received 43.8% of the votes against 17.2% for the CDU.
