UN nuclear watchdog board finds Iran not complying with nuclear obligations
IAEA resolution passes with 19 votes in favour , three against and 11 abstentions, diplomatic sources say. The United Nations nuclear watchdog’s Board of Governors has approved a resolution declaring Iran is not complying with its commitment to international nuclear safeguards, diplomatic sources told Al Jazeera, prompting a swift response from Tehran. The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors resolution passed on Thursday with 19 votes in favour, three against and 11 abstentions. A text of the resolution seen by Reuters news agency said that “Iran’s many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019” to provide IAEA “with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations constitute non-compliance with its obligations” under its agreement with the UN agency. In response, Iran’s Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) announced in a joint statement that the country will build a new uranium enrichment facility “in a secure location”, adding that “other measures… will be announced later”.

Iran’s Press TV also quoted the foreign ministry as saying that the board resolution “has no technical and legal basis.” Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Vienna, said that Russia, China and Burkina Faso were among the members of the 35-seat board to vote against the resolution. Ahelbarra described passage of the resolution as a “significant diplomatic development”, noting that it was the first time in almost 20 years that the IAEA had accused Iran of breaching its non-proliferation obligations. “Iran has a very small window to answer the resolution. Otherwise, it will face, massive, massive repercussions including the potential of further isolation and wide-range of sanctions.” The IAEA vote comes as Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi announced on Thursday that the US and Iran will hold a sixth round of talks over Tehran’s advancing nuclear programme on Sunday. Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi, reporting from Tehran, said that the talks on Sunday in Oman would be “highly-influenced” by the IAEA resolution on Thursday. Our correspondent in Tehran also reported that Iran has written a letter to the UN warning that if the IAEA resolution triggers sanctions, that move could prompt Iran to exit from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, further complicating the US talks with Iran. Advertisement Reaching a new nuclear deal is one of the several diplomatic priorities being juggled by US President Donald Trump and his trusted friend and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. Trump had until recently expressed optimism about the talks, but said in an interview published on Wednesday that he was “less confident” about reaching a deal. Trump also reiterated that he would not allow Iran to have an atomic bomb amid mounting speculation that Israel could strike Iranian nuclear facilities. On Thursday, Israeli media reported that Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Mossad intelligence agency head David Barnea will travel to meet Witkoff ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks in Oman. On Wednesday, Iran threatened to target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out. According to reports, the US has also evacuated non-essential staffers from several countries in the Middle East amid the ongoing regional tensions. Adblock test (Why?)

Dem governor expected to defend state’s controversial sanctuary policies during GOP-led hearing
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will be among several Democratic governors who are expected to face a grilling before GOP lawmakers during a Thursday hearing on their states’ controversial sanctuary status. According to prepared remarks obtained by Fox News Digital, Pritzker will defend his state’s policies, saying his administration was left to fill the void in the absence of help from the federal government in dealing with the border crisis. He will accuse certain border state governors and mayors of having abandoned the nation’s highest ideals by having spent millions of taxpayer dollars treating immigrants as “pawns” rather than doing “everything possible to make the promise of America the practice of America.” He will take aim at Republican Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida for having bused illegal immigrants to predominantly liberal cities and states in the north – actions, he will argue, were political stunts that only exacerbated the problem. BLUE STATE GOVERNOR VOWS ‘RESISTANCE’ AS TRUMP ADMIN TARGETS SANCTUARY POLICIES Pritzker will say that Illinois’ resources were strained because of a lack of federal support – from both Republicans and Democrats – during the crisis. The Democratic governor is expected to highlight his state’s efforts to address the influx of immigrants into the “Land of Lincoln” by processing new arrivals, supporting temporary shelter and permanent housing, and enabling them to live independently and contribute to the economy. ILLINOIS GOV. JB PRITZKER MOVES TO BOYCOTT EL SALVADOR FOR AIDING TRUMP OVER KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA’S DETENTION Pritzker will note that even though state resources were strained during this period, it did not stop his administration from focusing on public safety by investing in state and local law enforcement, including the Illinois State Police (ISP) troopers. He will highlight statistics showing that violent crime has gone down under his stewardship. Pritzker will reaffirm his intolerance for violent criminals – whether documented or undocumented – and note that Illinois law enables government employees to cooperate with federal immigration officers executing criminal warrants. He is expected to say that federal officials are welcome to operate in Illinois but will make clear that Illinois will not divert limited resources when it is not in the best interest of the state. He will say that he wants residents to feel comfortable turning to local law enforcement for help. Pritzker is also expected to invoke his own family’s history, having fled to the U.S. to escape the Russian massacre of Jews in Ukraine. He is expected to implore Congress to fix the nation’s broken immigration system so that law-abiding immigrant families can have the same opportunity his family did. The governor will close his remarks by arguing that reforming the system does not have to come at the expense of securing the border. Pritzker will be joined by fellow Democratic Govs. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Kathy Hochul of New York. “A Hearing with Sanctuary State Governors” begins will at 10 a.m. EST before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

WATCH: AOC blames Trump for LA riots, says his administration ‘owns this’
In an interview with Fox News Digital, progressive “Squad” leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed President Donald Trump for the ongoing immigration riots in Los Angeles, saying he is “creating this chaos” and that the Trump administration “owns this.” She said Trump and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller are taking calculated steps to sow chaos and stoke unrest throughout the country. “It’s his decisions, his aggression. His ability to intentionally stoke this, that is the problem,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital. Los Angeles has been rocked by a series of violent riots and clashes between anti-ICE protesters and police and federal authorities since Friday. The riots began in response to ICE operations taking place in the city. WATCH: ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS SEEN SPITTING ON, BURNING AMERICAN FLAG IN LOS ANGELES Trump has deployed 2,000 members of the National Guard and hundreds of Marines to Los Angeles to help local authorities with the rioting that has gotten out of hand in many parts of the city, with videos showing people looting stores, setting cars on fire and taking over a freeway. Ocasio-Cortez, who is seen as a leading figure in the Democratic Party and a possible 2028 presidential candidate, told Fox News Digital the Trump administration needs to be held accountable for what she described as intentionally stoking unrest leading to the Los Angeles riots. “Everyone is seeing all of this chaos unfold in Los Angeles, and we really need to have accountability for the administration that has decided to intentionally uncork this chaos. The Trump administration owns this,” she said. “Donald Trump and Stephen Miller know that when you violently raid elementary schools, Home Depots and start ripping kids out of people’s arms that it’s going to create and stoke social chaos,” she said. “Donald Trump knowingly is doing this. He is knowingly provoking chaos and, at the end of the day, he has to answer for everything that has happened.” LOS ANGELES RESIDENTS ARE ‘SICK AND TIRED’ OF ANTI-ICE RIOTS, RESIDENT SAYS She went on to say that it “doesn’t make any sense” to punish those who are not in charge of the country for the rioters’ actions. “I don’t know where this whole thing comes from, where this administration is intentionally creating chaos and then somehow it’s the people who aren’t in charge that have to answer for it,” she said. “We need to hold the leaders [accountable] who are making this chaos and creating this chaos.” Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez attempted to downplay the rioting in Los Angeles, saying on the social media platform Bluesky that Democrats do not need to “answer for every teen who throws a rock” and that her party was falling into a Republican trap by trying to explain why parts of the city had gone up in flames. LAPD CLASHES WITH ANTI-ICE RIOTERS IN LOS ANGELES “It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “They are in charge.”

Republican senators roll out DOGE budget proposals for Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
EXCLUSIVE: A group of DOGE-minded lawmakers is rolling out a series of budget proposals to add to the Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act narrowly passed by the House. The effort, led by Senate DOGE Caucus Chairwoman Joni Ernst, will include several major proposals forged by Republicans from both chambers, seeking to help offset trillions in extant government spending. While a $9.4 billion rescissions package, a formal request from the executive branch to codify its DOGE cuts, is in the works, proponents of the Senate DOGE package say their total estimated savings would accentuate that and also surpass it in value. NATIONAL DEBT TRACKER: AMERICAN TAXPAYERS (YOU) ARE NOW ON THE HOOK FOR $36,215,685,667.36 AS OF 6/9/25 “We have a ‘big, beautiful’ opportunity to reduce reckless spending and save billions of dollars,” Ernst told Fox News Digital Thursday. “Defunding welfare for politicians, stopping bogus payments and ending unemployment for millionaires are just the start of my commonsense solutions to continue rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. Washington has lived high on the hog for far too long, and now is the time to tighten the belt,” the Senate DOGE chairwoman added. Senate DOGE addendums to the Big Beautiful Bill Act during negotiations will include a plan from Ernst called the ELECT Act, which she said claws back hundreds of millions of dollars treated as “welfare for politicians.” While $320 million from the fund was diverted to the Secret Service last year, the current $17 million sitting in the account is expected to rise to the $400 million it typically sat at by the end of the year, Fox News Digital has learned. ‘AMERICA HAS DOGE FEVER’: STATES FROM NJ TO TX DRAFT SIMILAR INITIATIVES AS FEDERAL LEADERS CELEBRATE Partnered in that first piece of the DOGE package is also language stripping former presidents of certain perks like additional taxpayer-funded office space and non-security-related staff. More than a dozen Senate Republicans also signed onto that portion of the package. “The federal government must be held accountable for every tax dollar spent,” said co-sponsor Mike Lee of Utah. House DOGE Caucus Chair Aaron Bean, R-Fla., also contributed to the package. The Senate version of his DOGE in Spending Act will be included in Senate negotiations. That portion requires any government expenditure to be accompanied by a tangible record to be provided to the Treasury after DOGE found $160 billion in taxpayer funds being distributed without an identification code or in a fraudulent manner. “The American people deserve a government that is efficient, accountable and fiscally responsible. That’s why the House successfully advanced DOGE reforms through reconciliation that will safeguard America’s financial future,” Bean told Fox News Digital. “I encourage the Senate to build on the work we’ve done in the House to deliver lasting fiscal responsibility to the American people.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Other pieces of the Senate’s DOGE package include ending what proponents call “unemployment for millionaires,” disqualifying people earning more than $1 million per year who lose their jobs from any unemployment support. More than $271 million had been disbursed to that bloc between 2021-2023, proponents said. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., a former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is leading the Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallet Act in the lower chamber. The bill’s language, which ends taxpayer-funded union time when government workers negotiate their contracts while on the clock, will be included in the Senate DOGE package. Another portion will compel the sale of six unused or underutilized federal buildings in Washington, D.C., that lawmakers say would free up $400 million in savings annually. The final portion will “snap back inaccurate SNAP payments,” Ernst said. The effort will work to identify errors, force collection of overpayments to SNAP recipients and hold states with high levels of their own payment inaccuracies accountable for their negligence. In 2023, approximately $11 billion in SNAP funds were overpaid, but the package’s authors noted individual errors of $54 or less aren’t included in the tally. Democrats have been critical of DOGE efforts and the separate rescissions package. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., told Fox News Thursday a successful version of the latter hasn’t passed since the first Bush administration. “Congress’ role in setting spending would be done away with, so this first rescission should be defeated,” he said.
