'No talks wsevenith US'
Iran's top security official has rejected recent media reports about a meeting with the US vice president in Qatar, stressing that it is time for Washington to accept Tehran’s conditions. Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, made the remarks in a social media post, urging American officials to stop manufacturing fake news about imaginary talks between Tehran and Washington. Rezaei asserted that US aggression against Iran has already dealt a severe blow to the American government, which he described as flailing like a desperate gambler. He urged Washington to stop denying West Asia’s "new order" and said it was time for the US to "surrender" to Iran’s seven conditions. His remarks came after a senior Iranian security official told Press TV that reports of a meeting between Rezaei and US Vice President JD Vance in Doha were false, stressing that Tehran has no plans to negotiate unless Washington takes practical steps to meet Iran’s seven conditions.
IAEA double standards
Iran has slammed the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s double-standard approach to condemning military attacks on nuclear facilities in different countries. Iran's mission to the United Nations’ office in Vienna made the comment in a social media post. It was referring to Rafael Grossi’s “strong condemnation” of attacks on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, while refraining from offering the same condemnation on US-Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities. The Iranian mission said, although it is impressive that strong condemnation can clearly be used by the IAEA's chief, why is it not applied consistently in all situations? It added that when the US and Israel bombed Iran’s safeguarded peaceful nuclear facilities, or when Iran's nuclear scientists were assassinated, they were never condemned. The mission said in those situations, the IAEA's director general apparently considered condemnation to fall outside his “purview” and “work.” It added that showing selective outrage isn’t a pillar of nuclear safety and safeguards, but it’s a pillar of a resume. The Iranian mission stressed that fulfilling one’s institutional duty is not optional, because professionalism requires consistency.
Israeli violations in Gaza
The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has slammed the so-called Gaza Board of Peace's stance on the territory’s humanitarian disaster amid winter floods. Hamas said the board’s latest statement offers a distorted narrative of the causes of the disaster, amid Israeli restrictions on the entry of materials necessary for sheltering people. The movement said the board ignored Israel’s responsibility for the ongoing disaster in Gaza by obstructing the implementation of the peace plan and the roadmap that was accepted by the movement and other resistance factions. Hamas added that Gaza ceasefire mediators have already affirmed that Israel undermined the implementation of the ceasefire's second phase, after resistance factions endorsed it. It said the board must compel the regime to immediately implement its commitments under the ceasefire's first phase and open Gaza’s crossings to bring in shelter and recovery supplies without political or security conditions. Hamas noted that the board must also announce a timetable for implementing the ceasefire roadmap, including withdrawal of Israeli forces, transfer of Gaza’s administration, and security arrangements. Hamas stressed that what Gaza needs is not a new statement of concern, but the implementation of the commitments announced by the board itself.
