Iran warns of retaliation if IAEA adopts resolution against Tehran Iran has warned that it will take reciprocal action if the UN nuclear watchdog adopts a resolution against Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. Speaking at a press briefing, Baghaei criticised European states seeking a resolution against Iran, calling their approach “irrational” given that the ongoing US-Iran war has made several Iranian nuclear facilities inaccessible to international inspectors. His comments come as the US, Britain, France and Germany push for a resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over Iran’s lack of cooperation and access to its nuclear sites. Iran has restricted IAEA access to facilities affected by previous strikes, arguing that normal safeguards arrangements have become impractical under wartime conditions. The dispute has deepened concerns over the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and the international community’s ability to verify the nature of its nuclear programme.

Lebanese president denounces Israeli attacks and destruction in south Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has condemned what he described as Israel’s “repeated attacks”, including the killing of civilians and destruction of homes and property. Aoun said the attacks, which he said had killed “innocent civilians, including children and women”, were undermining efforts to prevent further escalation in southern Lebanon and across the region. Aoun said Lebanon supports renewing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) and is working with French President Emmanuel Macron to facilitate the extension. “We also welcome the French and Italian initiative to form a European force to fill the void after Unifil’s withdrawal,” he added.  Smoke rises from an explosion in Al-Mansouri, southern Lebanon, seen from al-Hanniyeh, 6 September 2026 (Kawnat Haju/AFP)

Brexit and Donald Trump’s victories helped normalise political positions previously regarded as outside the governing mainstream, while successive economic and geopolitical crises have weakened confidence in established parties.
