The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held an urgent meeting in Saudi Arabia following the burning of the Quran in Sweden on Eid al-Adha. In their statement, the OIC condemned the provocative act and expressed regret that authorities allowed it to happen. They called for measures to prevent such acts in the name of freedom of expression and urged the international community to oppose such attempts. The OIC also called for legal action against attacks on Islamic symbols and the implementation of an action plan to combat Islamophobia. They requested the reconsideration of diplomatic ties and the appointment of a Special Representative for Islamophobia.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director Rafael Grossi warned of “serious” damage to Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility after recent US airstrikes, citing the sensitivity of centrifuges to shock and vibration.
In an emergency board meeting, Grossi said multiple structures tied to uranium processing at Isfahan and Natanz were also hit. He stressed that no full assessment of underground damage is yet possible.
Grossi condemned attacks on nuclear facilities as a global risk, urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. “We must resume negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” he said, expressing readiness to visit Iran.
He also confirmed Iran’s notification of new protective measures for nuclear materials, emphasizing they must comply with international safeguards.
