IAEA Demands Iran Nuclear Transparency as Trump Threatens New Strikes
The UN nuclear watchdog's Board of Governors passed a resolution Wednesday requiring Iran to report its remaining enriched uranium stockpiles and allow full IAEA inspector access, according to reporting from Middle East Eye and Brazilian outlet Folha de S.Paulo. The vote, backed by the United States, represents a significant escalation of international pressure on Iran's nuclear program at the same moment that military exchanges between the two countries are continuing.
President Trump posted on social media that Iran had 'taken too long to negotiate' and would now 'pay the price,' signaling possible fresh strikes on Iranian infrastructure. France 24 and the Times of Israel both reported that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are increasingly at odds over end goals — Washington seeking an exit from a costly war, Israel pressing for more decisive action against Iranian capabilities. Secretary of State Rubio is also reported to be visiting Bahrain to reassure Gulf allies rattled by Iranian attacks and the economic pressure of the Hormuz closure.
Coverage diverges along regional lines: Israeli outlets focus on the Trump-Netanyahu rift and domestic political implications; French and Brazilian media emphasize the IAEA resolution and the legal/diplomatic track; Middle East outlets highlight the Gulf states' vulnerability and Rubio's reassurance mission. The US inflation spike to 4.2% — a three-year high partly attributed to Iran-war energy costs — adds an economic dimension covered prominently by South China Morning Post and Japan's Asahi Shimbun.
