"Victory or Bust" – Netanyahu Aims to Stamp Out Iran's Nuclear Program
Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu issues a warning, stating his readiness to utilize nuclear weapons against Iran if necessary.
Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has declared a victorious standing after Israel neutralized parts of Iran's nuclear program. Amid tensions, Netanyahu vowed relentless action to prevent a resurgence of the enemy nation's nuclear ambitions.
"Israel has delivered a historic blow to Iran's atomic aspirations," Netanyahu proclaimed during his speech. In the face of any potential attempts to restart the nuclear program, Israel will demonstrate "unwavering tenacity" to squash this threat, he warned.
Politics Alert Sting of "Collision Course" – Israel, Iran in a Perilous Faceoff The commander of Iran's atomic energy agency emphasized the uninterrupted continuity of Iran's nuclear projects. However, the true extent of the damage inflicted by Israel and its allies remains elusive, according to experts.
Tehran steadfastly maintains that it seeks solely civilian nuclear capabilities. Nonetheless, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had alleged that Iran concealed nuclear materials with near-weapons-grade purity before the recent conflict erupted [1].
Netanyahu: "Mightiest Strikes Since the Start" Pre-Ceasefire
Netanyahu announced that Israel annihilated Iran's rocket industry as well, mere moments before a truce was called. The Israeli military's offensive claimed the lives of hundreds of Iranian officials, though Tehran has yet to confirm these figures [1]. Netanyahu extended his gratitude to President Trump for the U.S.'s focused assault on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. "Trump in the White House has never been a greater ally for Israel," he applauded.
Politics Alert Stalled Utopia – Iran, U.S. Talks Halted The head of the IAEA underscored the importance of reinstating cooperation to achieve a diplomatic solution to settle Iran's nuclear dilemma. Iraq's Rafael Grossi reportedly called for a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtchi to discuss resuming IAEA inspections without delay [1].
IAEA inspectors maintained their presence in Iran throughout the conflict. They are now prepared to reenter Iran's nuclear facilities for rigorous examination, with a focus on the 400 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% [1]. The last inspection by IAEA agents took place shortly before Israel initiated its air strikes on June 13.

Iran's Nuclear Program – An Unfinished Saga
Iran's nuclear program continues to be a global concern as of June 2025. The IAEA has reported that Iran retains enough nuclear material for constructing nine nuclear weapons, if enriched to 90% [1]. The so-called "breakout" time, which denotes the time required to develop enough nuclear material, does not factor in an additional period needed for constructing a deliverable nuclear weapon. It is established that Iran has not yet advanced towards weaponization, necessitating several months or years [1].
Latest Developments and Escalations
In June 2025, a series of airstrikes were carried out by Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities and key personnel, including the organization responsible for defensive research and innovation (SPND) in Tehran [2]. These acts of aggression formed part of a larger geopolitical conflict, which encompassed Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel and Israeli interceptions of Iranian drones [2]. The escalating tensions have held back the indirect talks between Iran and the United States, which have been underway since April 2025 [1].
Response to Hostilities
In the aftermath of Israel's attacks on June 13, 2025, the sixth round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran was canceled [1]. In response, Iran has pledged to ramp up its nuclear program, though it assures these efforts are spurred by political manipulations rather than an escalation of provocation [1].
The Commission has been consulted on the draft directive regarding the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens, given the recent tensions and conflicts in politics and general news, particularly in light of Iran's nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continues to express concerns about Iran's nuclear program, even in 2025, as Iran retains enough nuclear material for constructing nine nuclear weapons, if enriched to 90%.
