The status of Iran’s nuclear material and centrifuges is still unclear, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported to member states on Tuesday. Iran hasn’t allowed iaea inspections on its nuclear sites since the United States’s Operation Midnight Hammer in June of last year.
The United States “D-Day” financial sanctions announced on August 24 have yet to meaningfully disrupt Iran’s shadow banking system, Iran International reported yesterday. The London-based news network found that only 2 of the 15 international banks it highlighted in its report that Iran uses to circumvent U.S. sanctions are targeted by the U.S. Treasury Department.
