Iran has no contact with IAEA anymore, and any request by the agency should go through the SNSC.”

— 🇵🇸/🇮🇱 Statement by Palestinian Factions on the Second Anniversary of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood:
‘Two years have passed since the most horrific genocide in history, committed by the Zionist enemy against our people, amid the betrayal and hypocritical silence of the so-called international community. Despite the pain, wounds, immense sacrifices, and the unprecedented brutality of the massacres and the war, the criminal Zionist enemy and its allies have failed to achieve their declared goals, foremost among them, eliminating the resistance and forcibly retrieving the captured Zionist soldiers.
On the second anniversary of the eternal Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, we express our pride and honor in the legendary epic written by our great people in the Gaza Strip. This steadfastness was the rock upon which all the Zionist enemy’s malicious schemes and conspiracies were shattered.
The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, which began on October 7 and continues to this day, represented a historic turning point in our path of resistance. It was a natural response to the Zionist plots targeting our national cause and contributed to the collapse of all the lies and dark propaganda promoted by the Zionist entity and its criminal leaders. What occurred in the United Nations hall during the speech of the war criminal Netanyahu is clear proof of that.
The path of resistance, in all its forms, will remain the only way to confront the usurping Zionist enemy. It is neither permissible nor acceptable for anyone to relinquish the weapons of the Palestinian people, the legitimate arms guaranteed by all international laws and conventions, which will be inherited by generation after generation of Palestinians until they liberate their land and holy sites and obtain their freedom and legitimate rights, no matter how great the sacrifices or the costs.
On this glorious anniversary, we call upon the Arab and Islamic masses to take the initiative, to fill the streets and squares in all capitals and cities, in support of Palestine and the resistance, in solidarity with our people, and in rejection of the genocide and holocaust being perpetrated by the Zionist war machine.
We extend our salutations to all the fronts of support, to the great, struggling Yemen; to Lebanon, the land of resistance; to Iraq, the land of authenticity; and to Iran, the land of heroism and valor, for their steadfast and principled positions. We also salute the souls of the great martyrs, foremost among them Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safiyeddine, and the commanders Mohammad Bagheri, Hossein Salami, Gholam Ali Rashid, and Mohammad Saeed Izadi, along with all the martyrs who fell in every field and front of confrontation, support, and solidarity.
We have mercy upon the souls of the leaders of the flood and the planners of this heroic, historic epic, foremost among them the great leaders Ismarl Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohammad Deif, along with the long list of our people’s heroic national leaders from all Palestinian resistance factions, whose bravery and stories will be written in the pages of history in letters of light.’

— 🇺🇸/🇨🇳 NEW: U.S. media is reporting that China is demanding the U.S. stop arm sales to Taiwan as part of any future trade deal, which coincides with the Trump Administration cancelling a $400 million military aid package to Taiwan over the summer
Additionally, President Xi will reportedly demand that President Donald Trump make a public statement outright opposing Taiwan's independence when they meet in South Korea next month.
In June of 2023, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was made to publicly declare the U.S. "didn't support" Taiwan's independence immediately following a meeting with Xi.

—❗️🇮🇷/☢️ Ebrahim Rezaei, Spokesman of the National Security & Foreign Policy Committee of the Parliament:
'Today, in a closed session, we examined several proposals put forward by MPs to withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In total, there were 15 different plans.
We have agreed to draft all of these plans into a single comprehensive proposal to withdraw from the NPT, which will soon be put to a vote in the parliament.
Withdrawing from the NPT is a decision that requires national consensus. Personally, I believe we should withdraw from it.'
