Iran urges UNESCO for protection of cultural heritage

Saudi Arabia’s Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission on Friday condemned any armed attacks targeting nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes, saying such acts violate international resolutions.

The statement followed Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear sites amid an air war between the two countries.

Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council issued a statement condemning US President Donald Trump’s remarks and declaring that surrender or accepting imposed peace is not an option.

"Trump and the dreamers of the camp supporting the false Zionist regime must know that the surrender of the great Iranian nation or acceptance of an imposed peace is a futile illusion and an unattainable fantasy."

The council reaffirmed the country’s resolve to defend its national and ideological principles under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

It criticized Trump’s call for an unconditional surrender as irrational and dismissive of Iran’s strength.

Iranian state broadcaster reported on Friday that authorities have arrested a suspected Mossad agent who allegedly sent information about Iran’s air defense installations to Israel using the WhatsApp messaging app.

The Israeli military said on Friday that more than 25 Israeli Air Force jets struck and destroyed over 35 missile storage and launch infrastructure sites in the Iranian regions of Tabriz and Kermanshah.
