After drone attack on UAE nuclear plant, IAEA said – will provide technical assistance
According to a report by Al Jazeera, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi has confirmed that the global nuclear watchdog is providing comprehensive support to the UAE. This support has been given after an official visit to the nuclear power plant targeted in a drone attack last month.
Grossi said authorities demonstrated an exceptionally rapid operational response to the incident at the Barakah nuclear power plant and quickly carried out the process of shutting down the reactor immediately after the external power supply to the plant was disrupted. The IAEA chief further indicated that a series of technical assessments and operational activities are to be conducted to ensure full resolution of the repair work at the facility.
Grossi did not provide any further specific details regarding the exact nature or timeline of upcoming maintenance work at the power plant. This significant international intervention follows a fire at the UAE’s only nuclear power facility caused by a drone strike on May 17, which was later confirmed by kingdom officials.

If Hormuz had been opened, the blockade would not have happened: Rubio
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the only reason for the blockade is because Iran is firing on merchant ships. The thinking behind this is that if anyone else’s ships will not be able to get out, then Iran’s ships will also not be able to get out. If Iran had agreed to do what it said it would do when the ceasefire went into effect, that is, open the Strait of Hormuz, this blockade would not have happened. What they are doing is illegal and illegal. Everyone is against it.

Trump surrounded by war: Pressure from media and administration increased
These days, US President Donald Trump is under immense pressure from the media and his own administration. At the beginning of the war they claimed that the conflict would end in a matter of days, which later turned into weeks and now a long drawn-out stalemate. His repeated claims that everything will be fine soon are now being questioned within the American government itself, due to which Trump’s diplomatic credibility is at stake.
Amidst this increasing pressure, Trump is continuously adopting a very tough stance every day. He says that an agreement between America and Iran is very close, but at the same time he has also made a direct military threat to Iran. Trump has warned in clear words that if no final agreement is reached between the two sides soon, the US will launch a direct and devastating attack on Iran with its full military might.

West Asia War LIVE: Israel’s major attack on Southern Lebanon, many areas shaken by blasts; Airstrike continues
This crisis in West Asia has been full of great tension and devastation. This war started with the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Gradually, Lebanon’s Hezbollah group also joined this fire. Hezbollah continuously fired rockets at Israel. In response, Israel started air strikes on Lebanon. Israel killed top commanders of Hezbollah in Beirut.
Meanwhile, Iran has come out openly in support of these groups. Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel. In response, Israel and America jointly launched a strong counterattack on Iran’s military bases. Iran’s air force and air defense suffered heavy losses in these attacks. Not only this, along with Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei, many senior officials also passed away. After this, Iran has pressed the weakest nerve of America. Yes, Tehran closed Hormuz, most of the oil supply in the world comes through this waterway.
Now US President Donald Trump is trying to stop the war diplomatically. Trump has claimed that a ceasefire has been agreed upon between Israel and Hezbollah. Besides, the US-Iran peace agreement is also in its final stages. But tension still persists on the ground. Despite Trump’s claim, rockets have been fired from Lebanon. At the same time, Iran is also hesitant in signing the final agreement due to deep distrust.
