El régimen de Irán amenazó con reducir su cooperación nuclear con el OIEA
El régimen de Irán lanzó una amenaza directa a los países europeos y a Estados Unidos en vísperas de una nueva reunión del Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA), prevista para este lunes en Viena. El portavoz de la Organización de Energía Atómica iraní, Behrouz Kamalvandi, advirtió el domingo que Teherán reducirá su cooperación con el organismo de control nuclear de la ONU si se aprueba una resolución que lo acuse de incumplimientos en su programa nuclear.
“Ciertamente, el OIEA no debe esperar que la República Islámica de Irán continúe su amplia y amistosa cooperación”, declaró Kamalvandi en la televisión estatal.
La amenaza iraní se produce tras la publicación, el 31 de mayo, de un informe del OIEA que reaviva las sospechas sobre la dimensión militar del programa nuclear iraní. Un análisis del think tank estadounidense Institute for Science and International Security sostiene que Irán realizó y ocultó varias pruebas de implosión en 2003, paso clave en el desarrollo de un arma nuclear.
Según el instituto, estas pruebas en Marivan utilizaron sistemas hemisféricos de implosión a escala real, con explosivos capaces de generar una onda de choque esférica hacia el interior, que comprime un núcleo explosivo simulado de uranio natural o empobrecido, en lugar del altamente enriquecido. Estas “pruebas frías” serían indicativas de un plan avanzado para construir una bomba.
Además, el informe relaciona actividades en cuatro instalaciones clave —Marivan, Lavisan-Shian, Varamin y Turquz-Abad— con la desaparición de material nuclear cuya localización sigue sin esclarecerse. Pese a estas revelaciones, Teherán insiste en que su programa tiene fines exclusivamente pacíficos, aunque ya ha logrado enriquecer uranio hasta el 60%, un nivel sin justificación civil y cerca del 90% requerido para armamento nuclear.
Estados Unidos, junto con el grupo E3 (Francia, Alemania y Reino Unido), ha anunciado la presentación de un borrador de resolución que acusa formalmente a Irán de violar sus obligaciones legales como Estado miembro del OIEA. Aunque la resolución no remitirá de inmediato el caso al Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, como ocurrió en 2006, representa un cambio significativo en el tono y contenido de las acciones diplomáticas.
Una fuente diplomática citada por la agencia EFE calificó el documento como un “paso grave”, pero aseguró que “no se está cerrando la puerta a la diplomacia”. El proyecto otorga a Irán un margen para responder a las demandas pendientes del organismo, bajo la advertencia de una posible sesión extraordinaria del OIEA durante el verano si no hay avances.
Desde Irán, la respuesta no se hizo esperar. El ministro de Exteriores, Abbas Araqchi, emitió un mensaje en la red social X calificando la maniobra occidental como “otro grave error estratégico”. Comparó la actual ofensiva diplomática con la situación de 2005, cuando un movimiento similar del E3, según él, precipitó el inicio del enriquecimiento de uranio en Irán.
“La culpa recae exclusivamente en actores irresponsables que no se detienen ante nada para ganar relevancia”, escribió Araqchi. “¿De verdad no ha aprendido nada el E3 en las últimas dos décadas?”
El canciller también señaló que las acusaciones actuales se basan en un informe “débil y politizado”, y denunció que Europa está optando por “acciones malignas” en lugar de continuar con la cooperación.
Estas declaraciones se producen en medio de contactos diplomáticos renovados entre Irán y Estados Unidos, los primeros desde que Donald Trump se retirara del acuerdo nuclear en 2018. Aquel pacto, firmado en 2015 con las principales potencias mundiales, impuso límites estrictos al programa nuclear iraní a cambio del levantamiento de sanciones económicas. Tras su colapso, Irán comenzó a superar sistemáticamente las restricciones impuestas por el acuerdo.
Ahora, en pleno intento de negociación de un nuevo entendimiento, la aprobación de esta resolución podría entorpecer los esfuerzos diplomáticos y escalar la confrontación entre Teherán y Occidente.

Troops reinforce Puerto Vallarta as unrest shows signs of easing following El Mencho’s death
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Mexico’s Navy and armed forces have reinforced security across Jalisco following the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as «El Mencho,» in an operation that triggered retaliatory violence and raised concerns for the safety of the many American and foreign tourists who are staying in the area.
In a Feb. 24 press release, Mexico’s Secretariat of the Navy said 103 Marines and tactical vehicles arrived in the main tourist area of Puerto Vallarta aboard the naval vessel ARM «Usumacinta» (A-412) to reinforce surveillance and security operations after attacks targeting businesses and property in several neighborhoods.
Naval authorities said additional personnel supported by boats, aircraft and ground vehicles were deployed to conduct maritime, aerial and land patrols to help restore order.

The naval reinforcement came as federal authorities sent roughly 2,000 additional soldiers to Jalisco following the cartel leader’s death, Reuters reported.
The operation targeting El Mencho, long considered one of Mexico’s most powerful drug traffickers and head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, sparked immediate retaliation from cartel members, including roadblocks, vehicle burnings and clashes across multiple states, AP reported.
Mexican officials have framed the killing as a major blow to organized crime. But analysts caution that removing a cartel leader does not necessarily translate into lasting stability.
David Mora, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, stated that «federal authorities announced that they are reinforcing troop deployments to contain the cartel’s backlash, which may be protracted.»

Mora added that «El Mencho left no clear heir, and the remaining leaders could dispute control,» and warned that the cartel’s ongoing turf wars with smaller groups, especially in Guanajuato and Michoacán, could intensify as rivals seek advantage.
While the killing delivered President Claudia Sheinbaum «a win with Washington,» Mora said, «it is far from clear the killing will aid the president’s ultimate goal of pacifying Mexico.»
Duncan Wood, a visiting fellow for North America at the Wilson Center, described the operation as a demonstration of state authority but warned the aftermath may hinge on the cartel’s structure.

«The removal of El Mencho represents a meaningful assertion of Mexican state authority against one of the country’s most violent criminal organizations. The chaos that followed was real, but temporary,» Wood said.
«In the medium term, the focus shifts to the resilience of the CJNG’s decentralized cells and the Mexican government’s capacity to sustain a comprehensive security strategy.»
In a statement posted Feb. 24 on X, the Embassy of Mexico in the United States said transit corridors were reopening and public services were being restored, airline operations were returning to normal and Puerto Vallarta International Airport had reopened to domestic traffic.

The embassy said some local security measures remain in place and that authorities are working with international partners to ensure safety at transit hubs and tourist destinations.
Whether the surge of troops and naval forces will prevent a broader escalation remains uncertain as authorities brace for potential power struggles within the cartel and continued clashes with rival groups.

Con su imagen en baja y enfocado en las elecciones, Donald Trump defiende su gestión: «Es un giro para la historia»
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The architect of former President Bill Clinton’s political rise offered a profane preview of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, claiming he will face a «public humiliation» by November.
James Carville, known as the ‘Ragin Cajun’ for his raucous demeanor, claimed every member of Trump’s administration except top adviser Stephen Miller «hates» him. He delivered the remarks on the Politicon YouTube channel he shares with journalist Al Hunt.
«However bad you think this is, however much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, in your staff, in your Congress, attorney on you, it’s just starting,» Carville said.
«You know how miserable you’re going to be in November? You know, how f—ing miserable you are? Tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell you exactly what they think of you.»

He addressed Trump as if he were watching, telling him to «sit still while I’m talking to you» and advising that «everybody is stabbing you in the back» before calling him a «fat, sorry, sack of s—.»
He claimed the Pentagon has begun, or will begin, leaking information to hurt Trump «because your boy Pete can’t control s—,» in an apparent reference to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
«You can’t trust anyone: trust no one, right. OK, maybe Stephen Miller, I’ll give you that one. The Congress can’t stand you. They’re not going to pass s— for you. They hate you. They know you’re going to bring them to staggering defeat.»

Carville also claimed Congress is in disarray, alleging that his fellow Louisianan Mike Johnson «doesn’t know whether to wind his a– or scratch his watch.»
«You are the most unpopular president at this point in your term that we’ve ever had. They don’t like you. You understand that? They don’t like you. They don’t like the way you smell and the way that you look. They don’t like your fat stomach. They don ‘t like your stupid combover,» Carville said, referring to the American people.
He also referenced the fact that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia ultimately decided to stop seeking prosecution of six federal lawmakers led by Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., who produced a video advising service members they can refuse lawful orders.

«When you lose Judge Jeanine… that’s kind of horrible,» he said, referring to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who is a former judge in Westchester County, N.Y. and ex-Fox News host.
«You’re in the process of getting the living s— kicked out of you. And how bad do you think this is? However much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, your own staff, and your own Congress attorney on you. It’s just starting.»
Carville closed by wishing Trump «good health» but warned him a «public humiliation is happening as we speak.»

«People [will] tell you exactly what the f— they think of you, and I got news for you, it ain’t very good,» he said.
In response, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called Carville an «irrelevant loser» who «rambles to an audience of no one.»
«This is a sad example of late stage Trump Derangement Syndrome,» Jackson told Fox News Digital.
«President Trump is focused on delivering on his many promises for the American people — driving down costs, tackling Bidenflation, deporting criminal illegal aliens, lowering crime rates, and more,» she added.
