The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, called on Friday for a swift return of inspectors to Iran, warning of growing fragility in the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.<\/span>
The technical groundwork has been done and \u201cthe bases on which a diplomatic agreement could be concluded exist,\u201d he told the UN General Assembly.
He urged the parties to \u201credouble efforts\u201d, adding that inspectors\u2019 return \u201crequires a return to the negotiating table\u201d.
Iran has sharply restricted access since the June 2025 strikes on its nuclear sites during a 12-day war with Israel.
The IAEA<\/a> estimated in March that just over 200 kilogrammes of uranium enriched to 60 per cent remained at Isfahan, with more at Natanz.
In September, the agency\u2019s board of governors referred Iran\u2019s non-compliance to the Security Council<\/a>, which Tehran contests.
\u201cThe global non-proliferation regime\u2026depends on dialogue,\u201d Mr. Grossi said, pointing to successful efforts in Syria and war-torn Ukraine, where IAEA has brokered eight localised ceasefires to repair power lines at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and deployed 287 missions since Russia launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.
The UN chief Ant\u00f3nio Guterres on Friday strongly condemned a deadly attack on a church in Hmoud, Jordan.
The terrorist attack on a funeral service at a church in Hmoud in Jordan left seven people dead and many more injured, UN Spokesperson St\u00e9phane Dujarric said.
\u201cThe Secretary-General expresses his deep condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to all those injured,\u201d he added. 
\u201cAn attack not only on a place of worship but during a funeral procession, is especially heinous.\u201d
The Secretary-General also called for all those responsible to be found and to be held accountable, Mr. Dujarric said.
\u201cAttacks against civilians and places of worship are unacceptable,\u201d he said. \u201cPlaces of worship must be places of peace and must be safe for all.\u201d
One year since paramilitary forces rampaged through Sudan\u2019s El Fasher, the legacy of fear and trauma continues to haunt thousands of survivors.
That\u2019s the message from gender equality agency UN Women<\/a>, which reported that nine in 10 Sudanese aid organizations it surveyed had found women or girls in distress who had received no mental health, psychosocial or legal support since fleeing the Darfuri city.
The war in Sudan erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), former allies who had jointly seized power in a 2021 coup.
On Friday, UN Women regional director Anna Mutavati told<\/a> reporters in Geneva that some people have started to return, \u201cbut the fear of violence is constant\u201d.
\u201cThe scars of the violence in El Fasher have not faded,\u201d she said. \u201cWomen and girls continue to live with the trauma of sexual violence, the disappearance of their daughters, their sisters, their mothers, their husbands, and their sons, the killing of family members, and the loss of their homes, property, and livelihoods.\u201d
Reports of deadly strikes on civilians, rape and violence continue, said Ms. Mutavati, emphasising that drone attacks are increasing across Blue Nile, Khartoum, West Kordofan, Gedaref and Kassala.
\u201cMost of those killed or injured are women and children,\u201d she said. \u201cMany had already fled violence, including sexual violence.\u201d
