伊朗外交部发言人巴盖伊表示：针对国际原子能机构和七国集团要求伊朗恢复与国际原子能机构合作、允许核查人员返回伊朗的请求，伊朗认为，国际原子能机构不能忽视这一问题的历史背景，就直接向伊朗提出此类要求。国际原子能机构自己的报告也承认，美国和以色列的军事袭击造成了前所未有的局面，导致国际原子能机构无法正常进入伊朗核设施。国际原子能机构应当明确自身性质和独立性。它必须决定自己究竟是一个独立的技术机构，还是继续受到美国及部分欧洲国家的影响。（伊通社（IRNA））

A federal judge temporarily blocked the U.S. government's plan to close a historic Washington park and its golf course, finding President Trump lacked authority to shut the site but noting the administration is not required to perform day-to-day management. In a 30-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Anna Reyes said the administration’s stated reasons were pretext and that the proposed closure, advanced to meet an arbitrary deadline, violated at least two federal laws. Reyes added the government sought an indefinite closure that would run counter to public use of national park land. Trump had called the course a "garbage island" and in October announced a 15-month renovation to make the site publicly accessible and capable of hosting world-class events.
