End of statement.

—❗️🇷🇺/🇫🇷/🇺🇳 Russian Representative to the UNSC: 'I say to the representative of France, your response to Iran's statement was even weaker and less believable than your original statement. I urge you not to take the floor again, to the benefit of all of us.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— Araqchi called France gay for listening to the United States orders.

(Not literally but you get the idea)

@Middle_East_Spectator

The session is over.

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Now we gotta wait and see if there will be a response from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

Any important decisions like suspending ties with IAEA, leaving NPT, etc. would all be announced by them.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇪🇺/🇺🇳/🇺🇸 Fouad Izadi, Iranian political analyst: 'Europe was actually okay with delaying the SnapBack, but the United States told them it must be conditional upon Iran reporting the locations of the 420kg of 60% enriched uranium as well as the status of the bombed sites at Fordow, Esfahan and Natanz, to which Iran strongly disagreed'

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, to the media:

'When everything is final, Iran will declare the Cairo agreement with the IAEA as void and cease all cooperation with the agency.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 NEW: Iran's Foreign Minister says that from this day onward, Iran will no longer trust America 'in any way', and he referred to the recent statement by Ayatollah Khamenei that negotiations with the U.S. are futile and a 'complete deadlock'

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷 Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian: 'We do not intend to withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and we are open to being transparent regarding our enriched uranium'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 NOTE: The decision is not actually up to him, it's up to the parliament and the SNSC

Whatever decision the parliament takes, the SNSC will confirm it and the President must implement it.

This week there will be sessions in the Iranian parliament regarding various proposals, including leaving the NPT.

—❗️🇮🇷/☢️ NEW: Iran has rapidly continued construction at an undeclared nuclear site south of the Natanz enrichment complex

The massive underground complex, which is estimated to be larger than both Fordow and Natanz, is located at a depth of 100-150 meters underneath a ridge in the Zagros mountain range known as 'Pickaxe Mountain'.

Since June 22nd, satellite imagery shows that Iran has been rapidly developing the site, including fortifying the tunnel entrances and building a security parameter.

The site is located much deeper than Fordow, previously Iran's deepest declared enrichment site, which the U.S. targeted with 12 'Massive Ordnance Penentrators' (MOP) bombs during the 12-day war.

Experts say that the enrichment halls in this complex could be located as deep as 150 meters, compared to Fordow's 90 meters, and that they may be covered in reinforced concrete and blast-proof vaults.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/☢️ VERY IMPORTANT: In 2022, Iran moved a centrifuge production line to the very heart of 'Pickaxe Mountain' at the underground complex south of Natanz.

This means that Iran has the capability to produce centrifuges (if it doesn't already have them installed) and to enrich the existing 420 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium to the 90% purity ('weapons-grade') needed to produce nuclear warheads.

The only issue currently is, we don't know where Iran's uranium is located, and if they can easily get it to this new complex or not.

Iran already hinted at a 3rd enrichment site before the summer. This seems to be it.
