Iran threatens nuclear escalation after UN watchdog finds it in breach of obligations
TEHRAN — Iran has warned it will ramp up its nuclear activities after the United Nations nuclear watchdog’s 35-member board of governors adopted a resolution Thursday declaring it in breach of its non-proliferation obligations.Tehran retaliated by announcing the launch of a new uranium enrichment center and the installation of advanced centrifuges – an escalatory move likely to complicate nuclear talks with the United States set to resume this weekend.Nations attending the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board meeting in Vienna voted on the resolution, with 19 in favor, 3 against and 11 abstentions, Reuters reported.The IAEA has previously accused Iran of non-cooperation but Thursday’s move marks an official finding of non-compliance and raises the prospect of escalating...

Global watchdog finds Iran failing to meet nuclear obligations
VIENNA — The global nuclear watchdog's board of governors has formally declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years.Nineteen of the 35 countries on the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) voted for the motion, which was submitted by the US, UK, France and Germany.It says Iran's "many failures" to provide the IAEA with full answers about its undeclared nuclear material and activities "constitute non-compliance". It also expresses concern about Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, which can be used to make reactor fuel but also nuclear weapons.Iran condemned the resolution as "political" and said it would open a new enrichment facility.It follows a report from the IAEA last week...

Thousands head to Egypt in bid to break Israel’s Gaza blockade
CAIRO — Thousands of activists from around the world are expected to descend on Egypt on Thursday for a “Global March to Gaza,” a movement aiming to break the Israeli blockade that has pushed the territory to the brink of famine.Some 4,000 volunteers from over 80 countries will join the protest, according to organizers. They will land in Cairo, take buses to the city of Arish in northern Sinai, and then march around 30 miles through the desert peninsula to the Egyptian side of the Gaza border at Rafah. Organizers told CNN the activists will sleep in tents along the route and are expected to arrive at the border on Friday but do not plan to enter the war-ravaged enclave.The march puts Egypt in an awkward position as it tries to balance its ties with Israel and the United States...

HODEIDA — Israel's navy said on Tuesday that it attacked docks in Yemen’s rebel-held port city of Hodeida, the first time that its naval forces have conducted strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis.The Houthis announced the attack via their al-Masirah news channel.
