BREAKING
IAEA report: Iran's stock of enriched uranium estimated to have grown by 953.2 kg since last quarterly report to 9,247.6 kg.
Reuters: IAEA sends two quarterly reports on Iran to member states, including expanded "comperehensive" report requested by IAEA board.
Iranian sources: Window to arrive at diplomatic resolution for nuclear file still open, E3 must act rationally.
Iranian sources: Iranian responses to E3 pressure on IAEA to politicize Iran file are well-measured and technical, but if E3 move to use snapback mechanism, this would change everything, as Iran's policy regarding nuclear program would change entirely.
Iranian sources: Iran has shown in past that it would not sit idly by while E3 violate its nuclear rights.
Iranian sources: Iran reaffirmed, through diplomatic channels with Europe that it would respond to any escalatory step in nuclear issue.
Iranian sources: Despite this, E3 did not change course; Iran sees continued pressures against its positive steps as a new European move toward enforcing snapback mechanism.
Iranian sources: Iran warned E3 representatives in Istanbul that any move to escalate through IAEA will reflect negatively on indirect talks with US, and attempts to reach good deal.
Iranian sources: Despite change in atmosphere and Iran announcing readiness to give more positive messages, pressures are ongoing.
Iranian political sources: E3's pressures on IAEA began before start of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.

Dozens of Palestinian worshipers suffered from suffocation, on Friday, following an assault by the Israeli occupation forces in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood of occupied al-Quds as Palestinians were banned from al-Aqsa Mosque.

Local media reported that the occupation forces banned worshipers from reaching the Holy al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the occupation's policy against Palestinians in occupied Palestine.

Refusing to be subjugated to the Judaization attempts of al-Quds, Palestinians then performed prayers in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood adjacent to the occupied Old City.

The occupation forces then fired rubber-coated bullets and stun grenades, and sprayed worshipers with chemical-laden water, resulting in dozens of cases of suffocation.

Reports underscored that only 12,000 worshipers were able to enter the Holy al-Aqsa Mosque to perform prayers after the IOF prevented hundreds of Palestinians from entering for the morning prayer, and barred those from outside the Old City.

This marks the 12th week of barring Palestinian worshipers from entering al-Aqsa Mosque amid the genocidal war on Gaza, and as escalations intensify across the West Bank and occupied Palestine.

Earlier, the Armenian Patriarchate Of Jerusalem issued an "urgent communique" confirming that "a massive and coordinated physical attack was launched on Bishops, Priests, Deacons, Seminarians and other Armenian community members" in the Armenian quarter of occupied al-Quds.

The communique explained, "Over 30 armed provocateurs in ski-masks with lethal and less-than-lethal weaponry including powerful nerve-agents that have incapacitated dozens of our clergy broke into the grounds of the Cow's Garden [in the Armenian Quarter] and began their vicious assault," adding that the assault resulted in serious injuries of "several priests, deacons and students of the Armenian Theological Academy along with indigenous Armenians."
