According to a state-sponsored news agency in Iran, the Iranian government has decided to ban IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi from entering the country, as well as any surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities.

“Iran will no longer allow Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), or the installation of surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities, a top Iranian lawmaker announced,” the Mehr news agency reported. “Hamid Reza Haji Babaei, Vice Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, said on Saturday that Iran’s decision stems from the discovery of sensitive facility data within documents obtained from the Israeli regime.”

The Kayhan newspaper, supervised by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, reportedly called for the arrest and execution of Grossi, writing, “It must be officially announced that upon entering Iran, he will be tried and executed on charges of spying for Mossad and participating in the killing of the oppressed people of our country.”

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted Iran’s threats against Grossi. “Calls in Iran for the arrest and execution of IAEA Director General Grossi are unacceptable and should be condemned,” Rubio wrote. “We support the IAEA’s critical verification and monitoring efforts in Iran and commend the Director General and the IAEA for their dedication and professionalism. We call on Iran to provide for the safety and security of IAEA personnel.”

On Friday, Grossi emphasized the necessity of IAEA oversight on Iran’s nuclear activities, stating, “They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that. … We don’t know where this material could be. So some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved. So there has to be at some point a clarification. … We need to be in a position to ascertain, to confirm what is there, and where is it and what happened.” (DW/VFI News)

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) disclosed that Hamas had placed bounties on American security workers in the Strip and that 12 of the organization's local staff members had been murdered in its latest update on the situation in Gaza on Sunday.

GHF, an Israeli and US-backed NGO, began operating in Gaza in May to distribute humanitarian aid.

"Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers—offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them," the Sunday GHF statement said.

It announced that 12 of its local staff have been murdered, and others have been tortured.

"The targets of Hamas’s brutality are heroes who are simply trying to feed the people of Gaza in the middle of a war," GHF stated. "Our US security personnel—some of America’s most elite and decorated veterans—are on the ground to protect people. And our local staff, who keep these operations running, have already paid the ultimate price: twelve murdered, others tortured, and now more threats emerging by the day," GHF continued.

GHF added that in recent days, Hamas has also "pre-positioned armed operatives near humanitarian zones in an effort to disrupt the only functioning aid delivery system in Gaza."

GHF has turned to the United Nations (UN) to condemn the targeting of workers in Gaza and urged partnership on new food delivery systems. (JPost/VFI News)

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, one of Iran’s most senior Shia clerics, has issued a fatwa declaring U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "enemies of God" and "mohareb"—those who wage war against Allah.

The fatwa calls for Muslims worldwide to oppose these leaders, who are accused of threatening the unity of the Islamic community. Under Iranian law, those labeled as mohareb can face severe punishments, including execution. Shirazi said any Muslim who aids Trump or Netanyahu should also be punished similarly.

This decree comes after Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and U.S. involvement through airstrikes, including reports that Trump stopped an assassination attempt on Iran’s Supreme Leader and hinted at regime change.

Critics warn the decree incites global terrorism, echoing past fatwas like the one against Salman Rushdie. In response, Netanyahu affirmed Israel's resolve to protect its citizens. (INN/VFI News)

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn." – Isaiah 54:17

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon held a media stakeout ahead of the Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East on Monday, June 30, 2025, in which he took the UN to task for its continued campaign against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"As you all know, we still have 50 hostages in Gaza and this war will not end when the hostages are still there. Hopefully, we're going to have news about the negotiations, but I will stress to the council today our commitment to bring back home all of them," Danon began.

"For weeks now, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been feeding the people of Gaza. Over 46 million meals have been distributed directly to Palestinian families. Over 2 million meals are distributed in a single day, safely, efficiently, and without looting from Hamas. However, instead of supporting this effort, the UN has tried to sabotage it."

Danon accused the UN of ignoring coordination offers, failing to condemn attacks on GHF workers, and even threatening cooperating NGOs. He described an organized misinformation campaign orchestrated by Hamas-backed sources, with absurd claims including that GHF aid contains drugs.

"The UN should stop standing in the way. I urge the Secretary-General and all UN officials, if you care about the people of Gaza, stop with this campaign of disinformation and obstruction and help them help the people of Gaza," he said. (INN/VFI News)

“Heavenly Father, grant truth to prevail and for those seeking to provide aid to be protected from false accusations and evil schemes. May righteousness and justice reign in all humanitarian efforts.”

Watch the devastating aftermath of an Iranian missile strike in Bat Yam, where an 800-meter field of destruction left 9 people dead and many more injured. This video reveals the shocking power of one missile to cause massive damage and highlights the critical importance of bomb shelters and protected rooms in saving lives.

Despite the widespread ruin, everyone who took refuge inside a specially designed shelter in Bat Yam survived. This stark contrast shows why having a secure bomb shelter in homes, apartments, and public buildings is essential in areas under threat of missile attacks.

Federal officials say they have taken two individuals into custody at a house in Los Angeles tied to a suspected Iranian human smuggling operation connected to terrorism.

The arrests come amid Department of Homeland Security warnings of a “heightened threat environment” across the United States following the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities earlier this month.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the arrests on Friday, stating that the house had been used to harbor illegal aliens linked to terrorism.

“CBP executed a federal search warrant today at a human smuggling hub in Los Angeles tied to national security threats,” the agency wrote. The operation was led by CBP’s Special Response Team with support from Border Patrol tactical units and Air and Marine Operations.

Earlier in the week, seven Iranian nationals were arrested at the same location, all on the FBI Terror Watchlist and connected to an Iranian human trafficking hub.

“The location has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism,” CBP alleged. The operation was part of a broader national security effort involving multiple federal agencies. (BB/VFI News)

“Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over the United States and Israel from terrorism. May You expose and dismantle every evil plan formed in darkness, and strengthen those who guard our nations.”

US President Donald Trump said at a White House press conference on Friday that he would “absolutely” consider bombing Iranian nuclear sites again if he thought it necessary.

“Sure, without question, absolutely - it has to be unbelievable,” Trump told reporters when asked specifically if he would consider bombing Iran if future intelligence reports offered a concerning conclusion on its enrichment of uranium.

Trump also said he does not believe that Iran can “go back into nuclear anytime soon” following US strikes on its nuclear facilities.

He added he was “not really” concerned about secret nuclear sites in Iran when asked about that possibility, suggesting that the country is more focused on survival for the time being.

“Can I tell you - they’re exhausted. And Israel’s exhausted too. And I dealt with both of them, and they both wanted it settled - both of them - and we did a great job. But they’re exhausted. The last thing they’re thinking about right now is nuclear. You know what they’re thinking of? They’re thinking about tomorrow, trying to live,” stated Trump.

The President also said that Iran wants to meet with the US for talks on its nuclear program, echoing recent comments from his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who said that the US and Iran are already in the early stages of renewed discussions over Iran’s nuclear program.

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi firmly dismissed any suggestions that Iran is preparing to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States in the wake of the recent conflict.

“Some speculations about the resumption of negotiations should not be taken seriously,” Araghchi declared, adding, “I would like to state clearly that no agreement, arrangement or conversation has been made to start new negotiations. No plan has been set yet to start negotiations.” (INN/VFI News)

“Lord, we pray for true and lasting peace in the region. Give wisdom to our leaders, clarity to negotiators, and shield Your people from future harm. May Your purposes prevail in every hidden conversation.”

A judge in Argentina ruled on Thursday that the country could place ten Iranian and Lebanese citizens—including the newly appointed head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—on trial in absentia for their suspected roles in the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA).

The bombing killed 85 people and left hundreds injured. The individuals approved for trial include current and former Iranian officials and members of Hezbollah.

This is the first use of Argentina’s new law allowing in-absentia trials, passed under President Javier Milei, who declared Iran an “enemy of Argentina.”

Judge Daniel Rafecas stated that failing to prosecute would deprive victims of justice and weaken public trust in the justice system. (BB/VFI News)

“Lord, we ask for justice to be done in memory of the innocent lives lost. May Your truth shine in courtrooms and across the nations, and may this action serve as a deterrent to those plotting terror.”

Yemen’s information minister accused Iran of relocating parts of its military industry to Houthi-controlled territory, endangering global shipping routes in the Gulf of Aden.

According to Moammar al-Eryani, Tehran plans to produce ballistic missiles and drones in northern Yemen, mirroring those used during the recent 12-day war.

He warned of similarities in tactics and technology between the Houthis and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, and that Iranian experts are guiding operations within Yemen.

Al-Eryani called for urgent international action, warning that complacency would allow Iran to entrench itself militarily in the region. (JPost/VFI News)
