Khamenei representative mocks advocates of US talks after strikes

Iran still possesses enough enriched material to build a nuclear bomb despite recent Israeli airstrikes, The Telegraph reported, citing a senior Israeli military official.

"We understand that there is still enriched material in Iran," the official was quoted as saying.

Despite US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, the prospect of Iran using its surviving enriched uranium to fashion a crude nuclear warhead in secret was “a concern,” the official added.

The official also warned that Israel would strike again if it detected renewed efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.

Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency on Friday urged Iranian citizens to avoid Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) personnel, bases, and government vehicles to stay safe, saying its war is with "the oppressive Islamic Republic regime," not the people.

"If someone from the IRGC near you suddenly receives a phone call or message on their personal phone, please move away from them," the agency said in one of its warnings to Iranians in a Persian-language post on X.

Iran remains prepared to deliver a strong response to any further actions by Israel or the United States, a senior lawmaker said on Friday, warning that "the war is not over."

Ebrahim Rezai, spokesperson for parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, made the comments during a Friday prayer gathering in Dashtestan, southern Iran, according to state media.

“We are fully ready to respond decisively to any movement by the Zionist regime and the United States,” he said. “Any miscalculation will be met with a firm reaction from our armed forces.”

Rezai accused Israel of launching its attack on Iran based on “false reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency,” and said "Western assumptions about Iranian weakness had proven wrong".

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency has betrayed Iran and acted as “a soldier of the Zionist regime and global arrogance,” Iranian lawmaker Mojtaba Zolnouri said on Friday, according to state-affiliated media.

Zolnouri, a representative from Qom, made the remarks during a funeral for those killed in the Israeli strikes. He accused IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi of siding with Israel by failing to condemn attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

“He not only betrayed our country, but also the IAEA and the NPT safeguards,” Zolnouri said, referring to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. “He played the role of an Israeli intelligence officer.”

The lawmaker said Iran had not suspended cooperation with the IAEA as an institution, but had ended dealings with “Israeli and Western intelligence agents disguised as inspectors.”

Zolnouri criticized the agency’s silence after Israeli strikes allegedly hit nuclear facilities operating under IAEA supervision. “They didn’t even convene a Board of Governors meeting or issue a statement,” he said. “The director general could have acted, but chose not to—because he is an agent of global arrogance.”

He added that Iran will not allow further cooperation with the IAEA unless its nuclear sites are guaranteed protection and the agency changes what he described as its biased stance.

Iran has lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations over the Israeli and US military strikes, accusing them of targeting civilian infrastructure and committing violations of international law, the judiciary news agency Mizan News reported on Friday.

In a letter addressed to Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nasser Seraj, head of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, condemned what he described as “aggressive military attacks” on Iranian soil, including strikes on residential areas, prisons, hospitals, media offices, and nuclear facilities.

“These attacks constitute a clear violation of fundamental principles of international law, international human rights law, and humanitarian law,” Seraj wrote.

The letter alleged that Israel deliberately targeted Iran’s state broadcaster facilities, killing and injuring media staff, and bombed medical centers and Red Crescent buildings, causing widespread civilian casualties and destruction of public infrastructure.

It also accused the United States of direct involvement, including through satellite support, refueling fighter jets, and aiding in attacks on nuclear sites in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.

Seraj urged the UN to launch an independent investigation and hold those responsible accountable, warning that failure to act would undermine global human rights norms and further threaten international peace and security.
