UN nuclear watchdog says it’s unable to verify whether Iran has suspended all uranium enrichment

Iran has not allowed the United Nations nuclear agency access to its nuclear facilities bombed by Iran and the United States during a 12-day war in June, according to a confidential report by the watchdog circulated to member states and seen on Friday by The Associated Press. The report from the International Atomic Energy Agency stressed that it "cannot verify whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities," or the "size of Iran's uranium stockpile at the affected nuclear facilities." The IAEA report on Friday warned that due to the continued lack of access to any of Iran's four declared enrichment facilities, the agency "cannot provide any information on the current size, composition or whereabouts of the stockpile of enriched uranium in Iran." The flag...

Clock ticks down as Trump’s threat to Iran nears crunch time

The clock is ticking on US President Donald Trump's threat to launch military strikes against Iran - but even if he gives the green light to his generals and admirals, will they achieve his aims? Hopes of a diplomatic solution rest on last-ditch talks over Tehran's nuclear program in Switzerland between Iranian officials and American negotiators, headed by special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Trump has insisted he wants a peaceful outcome, but Iran appears resolute in not abandoning uranium enrichment and rejects US and western claims it is aiming to build a nuclear bomb.

US shoots down Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier, official says

The US military on Tuesday shot down an Iranian drone that "aggressively" approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, the US military said, in an incident first reported by Reuters. The Iranian Shahed-139 drone was flying toward the carrier "with unclear intent" and was shot down by an F-35 US fighter jet, it said.

Has Trump really ended eight wars? Fact-checking the president’s claim

If there is anything Donald Trump covets more than anything else, it's the Nobel Peace Prize. The president has repeatedly spoken of how much he deserved it, and raged in public and private at the country of Norway, which he believes is responsible for not giving it to him. At the centre of his claim for the prize is the boast that he has ended eight wars in a year. Reporters raise their hands as President Donald Trump speaks during a press briefing at the White House. (AP) But has he? "The short answer is no. And in fact, the short answer is not even close," Monash University senior lecturer in international relations Ben Zala told nine.com.au. "Two and a half, or, let's be generous and say three, are factually correct." Israel ...
