Iran nuclear sites security
Iran says it has already informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of new construction around Natanz nuclear facility. The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran says it is moving its centrifuge manufacturing plant to a site near Natanz for security reasons. Behrouz Kamalvandi says the relocation is part of measures to tighten security around nuclear facilities. They come after the terrorist operation that damaged the centrifuge plant in Karaj last year. Earlier, the New York Times reported that Iran is constructing new facilities deep under mountains that can withstand bunker-busting bombs and cyber-attacks.
End of unipolar world order
The United States and its Western allies have imposed tough economic sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin says these sanctions have failed to achieve their goals. Putin said Russia’s economy has weathered a blitzkrieg of Western sanctions. He said the European Union imposed sanctions against Russia on orders from the White House despite the damage to its economy. Putin said the EU has completely lost its political sovereignty. He also denounced the United States as a declining power that treats its allies as colonies. The Russian president said the era of the unipolar world has ended.
'CIA Assange assassination plot'
New information will be submitted to the court as Wikileaks appeals against the UK government’s decision to extradite the whistleblower organization’s founder Julian Assange. Assange’s brother says the evidence includes a CIA plot to kidnap and assassinate the WikiLeaks founder and how his lawyers were subject to espionage. The abduction and assassination were reportedly plotted when Assange was holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London. He is currently held at a prison in London. Washington wants to put Assange on trial for the publication of confidential files in 2010 and 2011. They revealed how US-led forces killed civilians in unreported incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan. WikiLeaks has called the UK government’s decision to approve the extradition a dark day for freedom of the press and British democracy.
