Iran rebukes IAEA chief
Iran says it will not act emotionally and hastily over the talks for the revival of the 2015 deal. Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani says Iran is serious about reaching a good and durable agreement. Kan’ani, however, says Tehran will not sacrifice the nation’s interests. The spokesman also criticized the recent remarks by the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency about Iran's nuclear activities. Kan’ani said Rafael Grossi’s assessments are unfair and unprofessional. He said Iran expects the IAEA to adopt a constructive approach in response to Iran’s trust-building steps. Grossi has claimed that Iran’s nuclear program is, in his own words, galloping ahead and the agency has very limited visibility on what is happening.
Russia Odessa strike
Russia’s foreign minister says western-supplied weapons were destroyed in a strike on the southern Ukrainian port city of Odessa on Saturday. Sergei Lavrov’s comments come a day after Moscow said the attack hit a Ukrainian warship and a depot of anti-ship missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier said the attack showed Russia failed to keep its promise as part of a UN-brokered grain deal. Odessa is a key Black Sea terminal for the export of Ukrainian grain. The attack came less than 24 hours after Russia and Ukraine agreed with the United Nations and Turkey on reopening the Black Sea ports for grain exports. Kiev has already confirmed that the Russian strikes left the grain depots in the port intact.
Tunisia constitution vote
Tunisians head to the polls to vote on a new constitution drafted by President Kais Saied and seen as a referendum on his policies. Over nine million out of Tunisia’s 12 million population have registered to vote and eyes are on the turnout. Opposition groups have called for a boycott of the referendum. They are warning that a largely-expected yes vote will give Saied absolute power, risking Tunisia’s hard-won democracy. One year ago, Saied took full executive power after sacking the government and dismissing the parliament. He pledged to hold a referendum to end what he called the political deadlock in the North African country and its economic woes. He has achieved little during his one-year rule.
