In a significant development during the daily press briefing on June 26, 2025, the United Nations addressed pressing global issues, including the ongoing conflict in Sudan and the situation surrounding Iran's nuclear program.

The briefing highlighted the participation of Mr. Lamamra, the Secretary-General's personal envoy for Sudan, in the fourth session of the Sudan Consultative Group in Brussels. This meeting aims to support de-escalation efforts and advance a political solution to the devastating conflict affecting millions of Sudanese. The discussions are seen as a critical opportunity to coordinate international positions and explore concrete pathways for de-escalation, political dialogue, and humanitarian access, which remains a significant challenge in the region.

On the topic of Iran, the briefing included a response to recent statements made by Iranian officials regarding their cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The speaker of Iran's parliament announced a law suspending cooperation with the IAEA, citing security concerns over nuclear facilities. The UN reiterated its support for the IAEA's work, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and cooperation between the agency and Iran.

These discussions underscore the UN's commitment to addressing complex international issues through coordinated efforts and dialogue. As the situation in Sudan continues to evolve, the UN remains focused on facilitating humanitarian access and fostering political solutions to alleviate the suffering of affected populations.
