Iran has rejected a Fox News report alleging a secret nuclear weapons facility, labeling it a disinformation campaign aimed at undermining ongoing nuclear talks with the U.S. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi described the claims as fabricated intelligence coinciding with diplomatic negotiations, accusing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of manipulating U.S. policy through the anti-Iran group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO). The Iranian U.N. mission supported Araqchi, noting the MKO’s history of providing unreliable intelligence to Western agencies. The controversy follows Fox News’s publication of satellite images linked to the MKO, as indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. continue.
Recent indirect negotiations between Iran and the U.S. in Muscat, Oman, concluded with both sides describing the sessions as “difficult but useful.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei announced that the talks improved understanding of each party’s positions on critical issues, including Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions. He confirmed that Oman would organize the next round of discussions. Led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, the talks faced challenges, particularly regarding uranium enrichment, which Araqchi deemed “non-negotiable.” The discussions lasted several hours, focusing on finding realistic solutions to ongoing tensions.
As Iran enters year 1404, national police commander General Ahmad-Reza Radan has announced plans to enhance border security and combat rising crime, exacerbated by economic pressures. Key initiatives include a four-meter concrete wall along the Afghan border, aimed at curbing drug trafficking and illegal entries, with completion expected in two years. Radan also prioritized reducing traffic violations and intensifying efforts against theft and drug-related crimes. For Nowruz celebrations, over 250,000 police personnel will ensure public safety. While crime rates, including theft, have reportedly decreased, tensions persist between cultural traditions and religious conservatism in Iran.

Iranian spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei recently criticized the actions of the UK, France, and Germany in nuclear negotiations, calling them “irresponsible and obstructive.” He accused the European nations of misusing the JCPOA’s dispute resolution mechanism to impose US-aligned demands. Baghaei emphasized that Iran has engaged constructively with the IAEA but faced unreasonable conditions from Europe. He asserted that the European troika’s actions create no legal obligations for UN member states and highlighted a lack of consensus among permanent Security Council members regarding sanctions. He affirmed that Iran has no current plans to negotiate with the US, focusing instead on evaluating European actions.
Iran’s UN Ambassador, Amir-Sa’eed Iravani, has rejected claims of interference regarding the sovereignty of three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf, labeling such assertions from the Gulf Cooperation Council as “unacceptable.” In his letter following the Council’s meeting, Iravani affirmed Iran’s sovereignty over Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb. He also defended the historical name “Persian Gulf” and emphasized that Iran’s foreign policy is guided by international law and mutual respect. Additionally, he dismissed references to Iran’s nuclear program as baseless, affirming the nation’s commitment to peaceful nuclear activities under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
