BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

The Spanish Socialists Workers' Party (PSOE) and pro-independence Junts per Catalunya (Together for Catalonia) have submitted a bill that would see a partial transfer of immigration powers to Catalonia on Tuesday.

"This morning, the PSOE and Junts per Catalunya parliamentary groups registered in the Congress a proposal for an organic law on delegation of powers in immigration matters," the initiative document released by the two parties read.

The regional Catalan police will be authorized to collaborate with the national police and Civil Guard in maintaining security across borders, ports, and airports, while the Catalan administration will assume exclusive responsibility for issuing both temporary and long-term residence permits for migrants and will gain the autonomy to set quotas for foreign employment.

Furthermore, Catalonia will expand its police force by 1,800 officers, bringing the total to 26,800, while the Catalan police, known as Mossos d'Esquadra, will be granted the authority to handle administrative procedures concerning migration issues, including the enforcement of deportation decisions, with these developments strengthening the region’s role in law enforcement and immigration control.

The transfer of powers will take place under Article 150.2 of the Spanish Constitution, which permits the delegation of state functions to self-governed communities, ensuring that Catalonia gains greater authority in areas previously managed at the national level.  

With 18% of its population consisting of foreigners and 24% having been born outside the region, Catalonia has a significant migrant presence, creating the need for an independent migration policy, as stated in an explanatory note to the bill.
