Ibrahim Mottaki, Head of the Political Science Department at Tehran University, has issued a stark warning that the United States and Israel could carry out another devastating attack on Iran within the next seven days. Mottaki emphasized that the current ceasefire should not be mistaken for a sign of peace, but rather as a period during which preparations for further attacks are underway.

Despite a ceasefire being in place since June 24 following the Iran-Israel conflict, Iranian and international experts fear it could collapse at any moment. Iran has stated that it is closely monitoring potential aggression by neighboring countries, keeping vigilant surveillance over their territories to anticipate any hostile moves.

Decades before Iran's nuclear program became a global flashpoint, the United States played a pivotal role in its foundation through the 1950s "Atoms for Peace" initiative. Under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran received nuclear reactors, enriched uranium, and engineering training from the U.S. Though cooperation ended after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the legacy endured. Today’s tensions, including recent U.S.-Israeli bombings of Iranian facilities, stem from a complex history that began with peaceful intentions but evolved into geopolitical confrontation.

Iran has strongly condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he stopped Israel and U.S. forces from assassinating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The Iranian foreign ministry called the remarks a violation of the UN Charter, an insult to the Muslim world, and an affront to a respected civilization. Tehran warned that such rhetoric undermines global dialogue and cooperation, urging the U.S. to abandon its aggressive tone. Iran also demanded international accountability for any attacks on its peaceful nuclear facilities and asserted that these actions damage America's diplomatic credibility in the Middle East.

The spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments should not be seen as a genuine attempt to engage in dialogue or resolve issues. Instead, they are better understood as part of a calculated psychological and media-driven game. The statement reflects Tehran’s continued skepticism of Washington's intentions in the region.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi has criticized the U.S. for not clearly stating its position on halting attacks while pushing for renewed diplomatic talks through mediators.

He reaffirmed Iran’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful research and rejected allegations of secret weapons development. Ravanchi described U.S. and Israeli actions as “law of the jungle” and said Iran would not proceed with talks unless it received clarity on whether attacks would continue during negotiations. He added that critics of Iran’s nuclear program should instead hold the U.S. and Israel accountable.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has accused the U.S. President of exaggerating recent events involving Iran to cover up his administration’s failures. Responding to earlier claims by Trump that the U.S. had crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities during a recent 12-day conflict, Khamenei said, “These statements reflect a need to justify inaction. Anyone listening carefully will see the truth—that they achieved nothing.” Trump had described the 12-day period as “intense and terrifying,” claiming a successful yet limited strike.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has urged Azerbaijan to conduct a thorough investigation into reports that Israeli drones may have entered Iranian airspace from Azerbaijani territory. In a phone conversation with President Ilham Aliyev, Pezeshkian emphasized the seriousness of the allegation, especially amid ongoing conflict with Israel.

Following a series of recent attacks on Iranian territory, Tehran has lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that between June 13 and 24, civilian infrastructure, hospitals, aid centers, and nuclear facilities in Iran were targeted. He demanded that the U.S. and Israel be officially recognized as "aggressor states." The letter argues that the attacks violate international law, the UN Charter, and core principles of human rights.

Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi, Deputy Coordinator of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated Saturday that Iran activated less than 5% of its defense capabilities in response to Israeli aggression. “This doesn’t mean these resources were depleted,” he clarified. “Only 5% of our defensive units engaged the enemy. Our core military strength remains undisclosed and unused.”

Following an aerial conflict with Iran, Israel launched an attack on Tehran’s Evin Prison on June 23, killing 71 people, according to judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir. He stated that the dead included administrative staff, soldiers, inmates, visiting family members, and nearby residents. The prison also holds two French nationals, Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who have been detained for three years. France has strongly condemned the attack, calling it unacceptable.

Speaking at a funeral ceremony for Iranian martyrs, the IRGC spokesman declared, “Today is a historic, decisive day for Iran. This mass gathering sends a message of strength to our enemies—a powerful display of national unity, honor, and resistance.”

Addressing Trump directly, he added, “We advise him to open his eyes and stop his irrational statements and erratic behavior.”

He further claimed, “The devastating defeat Israel suffered in 12 days has unhinged Trump, who is now responding hysterically.” Quoting Iran’s Supreme Leader, he said, “Trump utters words too big for his mouth to contain.”

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi stated that despite U.S. and Israeli strikes damaging multiple Iranian nuclear sites, Iran could restart uranium enrichment within a few months.

Regarding reports that some enriched uranium was removed, Grossi said, “Some material may have been destroyed, some relocated. Eventually, there needs to be clarity about what remains.”

Tehran has rejected Grossi’s request to inspect the key enrichment facility at Fordow, where most damage reportedly occurred.

Iran has announced it will prohibit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi and the installation of surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities. The decision follows revelations from Israeli documents exposing sensitive Iranian site information. Deputy Speaker Hamid Reza Haji Babaei cited ongoing US-led hostility against Iran and praised the nation's resilience and leadership. He emphasized that the opposition targets the Iranian people, not just their nuclear program, and warned against attempts to destabilize the country through ethnic tensions.

Yerevan, Armenia – Iran's Ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, has claimed that during the recent Israel-Iran conflict, some missiles and micro aerial vehicles used against Iran entered via neighboring countries.

He stated that President Raisi has requested Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to investigate the matter seriously. “We are waiting for the investigation results. If confirmed, Iran will respond accordingly,” Sobhani added.

He further noted that Azerbaijan has assured Iran it would never allow its territory to be used for hostile operations. “The Israeli regime respects no laws; they are capable of any abuse,” he warned.

Tehran, Iran – Sahar Emami, an Iranian journalist, has received international recognition for continuing her live broadcast amidst an Israeli missile attack on Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB headquarters on June 16. Despite the ongoing assault, Emami remained on air, exemplifying remarkable bravery.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro awarded her and the victims of the attack with the prestigious Simón Bolívar Award, praising the Iranian people's resilience and expressing optimism about their "ultimate victory." The Iranian government has hailed Emami as a “national pride.”
