Iran’s key Natanz nuclear site suffered a blackout due to a cyberattack April 12. Senior Israeli officials hinted at the Mossad intelligence agency’s responsibility for this attack. The New York Times cited U.S. and Israeli officials confirming Israel’s role. Iran called the attack an act of “nuclear terrorism.”
This sabotage of the facility’s power grid is a gross violation of Iran’s internationally recognized sovereign right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Iran faces the constant threat of military attacks and other violent provocations from the United States, Israel and other hostile countries in the region. However, the country’s government has consistently maintained that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.
Tehran, Iran – Iraq’s foreign minister, Fuad Hussein, has held high-level talks with Iranian officials with justice for the American assassination of Iran’s top general a major point of discussion.
Iran requested the international police organisation to arrest former US President Donald Trump and 47 other American officials identified as playing a role in the killing of General Qassem Soleimani last year in a US drone attack near Baghdad’s airport.
Hussein and his delegation met with Iran’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who also welcomed the formation of a joint economic cooperation commission as they discussed improving economic and political ties.
