Grossi: IAEA is completely blind on Iran nuke program

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi informed the Board of Governors that the agency is "completely blind" regarding Iran's nuclear program, having lost continuity of knowledge since June 2025 due to Tehran's refusal of access. This lack of verification is a serious proliferation concern, with Iran having restricted IAEA inspector access since 2021, escalating after alleged Israeli-US attacks in June 2025.

These women, many of whom were previously homemakers in Sudan, face exploitation and poverty after fleeing the civil war, with some reporting that 90% of women in their neighborhoods are subject to sexual exploitation.

Israeli ministers keep telling everyone their brutal plans – so why doesn’t the world take them seriously? | Nesrine Malik

Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israel Katz have publicly detailed plans for the ethnic cleansing and expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, with Ben-Gvir also advocating for forced displacement in the West Bank. Despite these explicit statements from high-ranking officials, international reactions remain largely limited to discussions of sanctions and arms export reviews, failing to match the severity of the declared intentions.

Ukraine restores external power supply to Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

Ukrainian power engineers reconnected the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to an external power supply via the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 line on September 7, following three days of repairs under a local ceasefire. This restoration is crucial for cooling reactors and spent fuel pools, preventing a potential nuclear accident after nearly three weeks of reliance on backup diesel generators.

Danger remains real despite Israeli wins against Iranian nukes, sources tell 'Post'

Despite Israeli strikes in June 2025 and early 2026 rendering most of Iran's nuclear facilities inoperable, sources indicate the future danger from its nuclear program remains real due to surviving underground centrifuges and potential clandestine extraction of enriched uranium. The IAEA has been unable to verify Iran's nuclear activities since June 2025, complicating efforts to monitor the program's potential weaponization.
