— 🇮🇷/🇺🇳 It's a matter of time before Iran cancels its cooperation with the IAEA and subsequently withdraws from the NPT.

The amount of statements being made by officials, and especially the accusations of the IAEA being an Israeli tool, are preparing public opinion for this inevitable move.

Iran has never uttered such harsh rhetoric against the IAEA as during the past few days. Iran knows this will seriously impact relations, so they've probably already accepted that the cooperation will come to an end.

The recent revelations of the IAEA covertly providing Israel with confidential information on Iran's nuclear program and nuclear scientists, leading in some cases to their assassinations, was the final straw.

— 🇮🇱/🇾🇪 Hebrew Media:

'The missile launched a short while ago from Yemen is unusual. Immediately upon entering Israeli airspace, the missile seperated into several smaller warheads, necessitating the launch of a large number of air defense missiles to intercept its components.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇾🇪/🇮🇷 NEW: Based on info from Israeli sources, it seems that Yemen may have launched an Iranian 'Qadr-F' ballistic missile

The Qadr-F is a long-range ballistic missile which has the capability of being equipped exo-atmospheric submunition release, also known in simpler terms as 'cluster warheads', to strike a wide area. This is why many interceptors were needed.

Yemen launched one of these before, in November 2023, but the missile was intercepted before it managed to release its warheads.

— 🇮🇷 Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi took a moment to make an appreciation post about Persian carpets

‎'The Iranian carpet is the fabric of history: A manifestation of Iranian culture, color, and imagination. From Khorasan to Fars, from the Turkmen Sahara to Kurdistan, from Isfahan to Baluchistan, every corner of this land has a design and a special role, a distinctive color, and a narrative of the lives of the people.

‎This unique art form has been the target of sanctions for years, but the luxurious Iranian carpet still adorns presidential and royal palaces in the four corners of the world; a symbol of Iranian authenticity, splendor, and taste.

‎Every piece of the Iranian carpet is an ambassador from the heart of Iranian culture, art, and history to the hearts of people everywhere in the world.'
