UNITED NATIONS, March 10 (Reuters) – The United

UNITED NATIONS, March 10 (Reuters) – The United Nations Security Council will meet behind closed doors on Wednesday over Iran‘s expansion of its stock of uranium close to weapons grade, diplomats said on Monday.

The meeting was requested by six of the council’s 15 members – France, Greece, Panama, South Korea, Britain and the U.S.

They also want the council to discuss Iran‘s obligation to provide the U.N. nuclear watchdog – the International Atomic Energy Agency – with “the information necessary to clarify outstanding issues related to undeclared nuclear material detected at multiple locations in Iran,” diplomats said.

Iran‘s mission to the U.N. in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the planned meeting.

Iran has denied wanting to develop a nuclear weapon. However, it is “dramatically” accelerating enrichment of uranium to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% weapons-grade level, the IAEA has warned.

Western states say there is no need to enrich uranium to such a high level under any civilian program and that no other country has done so without producing nuclear bombs. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.

BASRA, Iraq, March 10 (Reuters) – After the U.S. moved to block Iraq’s imports of electricity from Iran, Baghdad is looking to Qatar and Oman as possible options should Washington do the same regarding their trade in gas, the boss of Iraq’s South Gas Company said on Monday.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday rescinded a sanctions waiver that since 2018 has allowed Iraq to pay Iran for electricity as it presses on with its “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran, a State Department spokesperson said.

But their far larger cross-border trade is in gas.

Baghdad currently receives up to 50 million cubic metres of gas per day from Iran depending on its needs under a five-year deal extension signed in March 2024.

Iraq pays $4-5 billion per year to Iran for gas imports, according to Iraqi energy officials.

Iraq’s electricity minister said the potential loss of gas imports from Iran would reduce Iraq’s daily electricity output of 27,000 megawatts by a third.To mitigate the impact of a potential loss of Iranian gas imports, Iraq will lease a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, Hamza Abdul Baqi, head of the state-owned SGC, told Reuters.

“This measure was taken due to the (potential) cut-off of Iranian gas. The government has tasked the Ministry of Oil with finding alternatives,” Abdul Baqi said.

A deal for the LNG terminal will be signed with UAE-based Breeze Investment (BI) at the end of March, he said, adding he expected it to be operational by mid-year to handle gas from Qatar and Oman.

NEW YORK, March 10 (Reuters) – Two men accused of being members of a Russian organized crime group will face trial in the United States on Monday over what prosecutors call an unsuccessful Tehran-backed attempt to kill an Iranian dissident living in New York.

Federal prosecutors say Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps in 2021 hired Rafat Amirov and Polad Omarov, members of a “Russian mob” sub-group, to kill an Iranian American journalist and activist who has spoken out against the Iranian government’s treatment of women.

Amirov, 45, and Omarov, 40, have pleaded not guilty to murder for hire and attempted murder in aid of racketeering.

Omarov’s lawyer, Elena Fast, said in a statement, “Mr. Omarov is presumed innocent.” Amirov’s lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. In court papers, lawyers for both men have said it was “inaccurate” to refer to them as members of the Russian mob.

Prosecutors have not named the target of the alleged plot, who they have said in court papers is expected to testify at the trial.

Masih Alinejad, a journalist who left Iran in 2009, has told Reuters she was the target of both the alleged murder plot and a previous alleged attempt by Iranian intelligence officers to kidnap her and take her to Iran.

Alinejad has brought attention to women in Iran protesting laws requiring head coverings, as well as accounts of Iranians killed in demonstrations in 2019.

“I am very excited to join the public trial as a witness to testify against those who were hired by the Islamic Republic to kill me,” Alinejad said in an interview on Friday. “It’s like I’ve been given a second life.”

The trial, before U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon, kicks off with jury selection on Monday in Manhattan federal court.

The charges were part of a broader push by the Justice Department during former President Joe Biden’s administration to crack down on transnational repression, or efforts by U.S. adversaries like Iran and China to silence dissidents on American soil.

The two-week trial could provide a window into alleged ties between Iran’s government and criminal organizations prosecutors say it hires to do its “dirty work.”

MOSCOW, March 10 (Reuters) – The Kremlin, asked

MOSCOW, March 10 (Reuters) – The Kremlin, asked on Monday if Russia had held consultations with Iran before or after Tehran responded to a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump urging the country to negotiate a nuclear deal, said Iran formulates its own policy positions.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that Tehran would not be bullied into negotiations, a day after Trump said he had sent a letter urging Iran to engage in talks on a new nuclear deal.

Asked if Moscow had consulted with Tehran before or after Trump’s letter, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters:

“No. Iran is a sovereign country and independently formulates its position on key foreign policy issues. It is clear that very tense contacts are ahead.”

Trump has previously said he would reimpose a policy of “maximum pressure” on Iran, aimed at preventing the country from building nuclear weapons, even as he has signalled openness to a new nuclear accord with Tehran.

Russia and Iran have drawn closer since the start of the war in Ukraine, with Tehran providing Moscow with drones.

Regarding possible talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, Peskov said: “It is clear that Iran is seeking negotiations based on mutual respect, constructive negotiations.”

“We, of course, for our part, will continue to do everything that depends on us, everything that is possible, in order to bring this process of settling the Iranian nuclear dossier into a peaceful direction.”
