A former senior diplomat, Mohsen Baharvand, has proposed foreign investment in Iran’s nuclear industry as a way to build trust and ensure the program’s peaceful intentions. In an IRNA interview, he suggested that collaboration with European partners could alleviate fears of weaponization through technological cooperation and joint reactor projects. Baharvand emphasized that Iran’s uranium enrichment is aimed at peaceful technologies and that mutual investments would enhance trust, offering economic and technological benefits. He noted that while there are sensitivities regarding U.S. involvement, there is potential for American private investment if legal restrictions are lifted. Negotiations between Tehran and Washington continue to be constructive.
The Iranian government has summoned Poland’s chargé d’affaires in Tehran following anti-Iran statements by a senior Polish diplomat. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged an official protest against Polish foreign minister Marcin Wilczek’s remarks, amid rising tensions partly fueled by an Iranian drone wreckage displayed at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This event aimed to promote an anti-Iran narrative, linking Iran-Russia cooperation to global threats. While the U.S. and EU have imposed sanctions on Iran for allegedly supplying drones to Russia in the Ukraine conflict, Iran denies these claims, asserting its right to sell drones like the Shahed model.
In an Al Jazeera interview, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei criticized IAEA chief Rafael Grossi for remarks that he claims incite aggression from the U.S. and Israel against Iran’s nuclear program. Grossi noted renewed activity at Iranian nuclear sites but confirmed no current uranium enrichment. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) defended their enrichment levels as compliant with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Following military escalations from Israel, Iran’s parliament approved a bill to suspend IAEA cooperation, while President Pezeshkian expressed readiness to resume dialogue if fair treatment is assured. The situation remains tense and closely monitored.
The Iranian Embassy in the Netherlands has strongly rejected allegations from the Dutch National Security Agency claiming Iranian involvement in assassination attempts in Europe. The embassy stated that Iran is a victim of terrorism and is committed to fighting it. The Dutch report accused Iran of two assassination attempts, leading to the arrest of two suspects in June 2024. The Iranian ambassador was summoned by Dutch officials. The embassy described these allegations as politically motivated attempts by certain individuals to portray themselves as victims, while asserting that many terrorists targeting Iran operate in Europe with Western support.
