Iran: No justification for continuing nuclear negotiations with the US
6/14/2025
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi announced on Saturday the cancellation of nuclear negotiations with Iran, stressing that they are "unjustified."
Araghchi said in press statements: Continuing nuclear talks between Iran and the United States is unjustified while Israel's barbaric attacks continue.
He added, "The IAEA Board of Governors' decision has become a pretext for the Zionist entity to attack our nuclear facilities," stating, "We call on all countries to condemn these criminal acts and pressure the occupation to halt its aggression."
He pointed out that "attacking our nuclear facilities is illegal, and the international community must hold the Israeli entity accountable for this," calling on "the European Union and the UN Security Council to take a responsible stance against the occupation's attacks on our lands."
As Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said in a statement ahead of the talks scheduled for Sunday, "It is clear that under such circumstances, and until the Zionist regime's aggression against the Iranian nation stops, engaging in dialogue with a party that is the aggressor's biggest supporter and partner is meaningless."
The Iranian parliament revealed on Saturday that it is seriously considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, which is responsible for a significant portion of the world's oil shipments.
Reuters quoted an Iranian parliament member as saying: "We are seriously considering closing the Strait of Hormuz."
Brigadier General Esmail Kowsari of the Iranian Armed Forces also announced that "closing the Strait of Hormuz is under consideration, and we will make the appropriate decision with all firmness."
Iran's Fars News Agency reported that Nojeh Air Base in Hamadan was subjected to two missile attacks, while Iranian media reported five explosions in the city of Tabriz, confirming that the Tabriz refinery is still operating normally and that the circulating news about it being targeted is false .
Iranian media reported earlier on Saturday that a series of Israeli attacks targeted sensitive military and nuclear sites in several Iranian provinces .
A short while ago, Iranian media reported violent explosions in several Iranian cities, including Tabriz, Khorramabad, and Kermanshah.

It's security and stability and that's what the monetary reform of Iraq needed desperately and that's what was born yesterday and taking its first baby steps...
Give it time to do what it has to do, bring forth the new exchange rate and lower notes. That's what security and stability is for Iraq...and in doing so...the whole domino effect will occur.
Security and stability that's what we needed...
Prime Minister's Advisor: Iraq Is Qualified To Become A Regional Financial Center With Four Strategic Powers.
Prime Minister's Advisor: Iraq Is Qualified To Become A Regional Financial Center With Four Strategic Powers.
Yesterday, 13:18 Baghdad - INA - Nassar Al-Hajj The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, identified four factors that make Iraq a regional financial center on Sunday, stressing that Iraq possesses foreign reserves exceeding $100 billion.
“There are four elements of strength that make Iraq a regional financial center, the
first of which is that it is the second largest producer of crude oil in the Middle East, and
it has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world, through which it competes to take precedence in the global energy market, through more production
and achieving financial flows
that make it a financial and economic pillar in the economic geography of the Middle East, by achieving large financial surpluses that can be directed to investment in financial infrastructure,” Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
He stated that "Iraq has foreign reserves exceeding $100 billion, which provides it with a
significant financial safety margin, confidence in monetary stability, and high financial investment attractiveness."
He added, "The second factor is Iraq's unique geoeconomic location, which is a vital corridor linking the world's north to its south.
This represents an open economic space between global markets and their financial and commercial attractions, with links that provide important climates for the concentration of regional financial markets,
which will revolve around the strategy of the 'development project' linking Europe and the Gulf." He continued:
"The third factor is the demographic or human factor, and its foundation is the population boom, as the percentage of the population under the age of thirty is close, which makes Iraq one of the young nations.
The high percentage of youth (more than 60% under the age of thirty)
will provide a flexible human base that can be trained in
financial technology,
banking innovation,
digital technology, and
artificial intelligence."
He noted that "the government is undertaking the establishment of an important college for artificial intelligence sciences as inputs to the financial labor market and its foundations." He added,
"The fourth factor is modernizing and restructuring governance in government-owned banks,
given that they currently control 80% or more of banking activity."
He emphasized that "the reform campaign being led by the government today for the aforementioned banks aims to transform Iraq into a global financial center after ridding it of the risks of bureaucracy and inefficiency inherited over many decades."
He pointed out "the importance of electronic payments and the gradual expansion of the use of bank cards, point-of-sale (POS), collection systems, and smart wallets, which have helped achieve significant leaps in digital financial inclusion.
This is coupled with the presence of the Iraq Stock Exchange and the Securities Commission,
which operate in a robust, integrated, and promising manner as an infrastructure to establish Iraq as a regional hub for consolidating the country's institutional financial stability."
He explained that "the legal, executive, and regulatory infrastructure requirements are the key lever for enabling this transformation. These include, for example,
linking banks to effective electronic payment platforms and
supporting the development of the current National Data Center to serve as the sovereign digital financial infrastructure that supports Iraq's efforts to transform into a regional financial center."
He pointed out that "Iraq's transformation into a regional financial center will be achieved through the
collection and integration of financial, banking, and economic data,
supporting smart monetary and financial policies,
enabling financial technology and smart data analysis,
enhancing transparency and governance of financial institutions,
stimulating the non-banking finance sector, such as microfinance companies,
reforming the insurance sector, and
licensing financial technology (Fintech) companies." He pointed out that
"the current political, legal, and institutional stability that our country enjoys today,
in a prosperous and solid manner,
is the true basis for financial strength.
There is no financial center without a stable and secure political and legal environment."
Saleh emphasized the importance of building regional and international partnerships, such as
studying the importance of joining regional payment systems and financial structures of international groups such as the G20 or BRICS, or partnerships with strong financial centers in Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, and others. https://ina.iq/ar/economie/236406-.html
