Zarif: "[Netanyahu] and the #B_Team just want a war, no matter [the] innocent blood and another $7 TRILLION," the 'B Team' comment a reference to Netanyahu, hawkish senior Trump advisor John Bolton, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed, each of whose names have the letter 'b' in them. The "$7 trillion" was presumably a reference to President Trump's criticism of his predecessors, whom he accused of spending $7 trillion on "endless wars" in the Middle East.

Zarif accompanied the tweet with a 2002 video clip featuring Netanyahu's testimony to US lawmakers in the run up to the Iraq War, with Netanyahu promising "enormous positive reverberations" for the entire Middle East if Saddam Hussein's government was toppled. "This time, he assuredly won't be on the sidelines watching," Zarif warned.

[Netanyahu] "Even before that, Iran knew we were on to them, and so they cleared the [Abadeh] site. They cleared it...and then they actually covered up the site. This is an actual cover-up. They put gravel on it to try to hide their traces, but they didn't," the Israeli prime minister said, showing alleged satellite photos of the demolished alleged nuclear facility.

The UN's nuclear watchdog has yet to comment on Netanyahu's presentation. Earlier in the day, IAEA acting director-general Cornel Feruta told reporters that he had had "very substantial discussions with Iranian senior officials," and that he had been "pleased with the tone and the input that we received in those conversations."

Following Netanyahu's presentation Monday, Yair Lapid, co-leader of the opposition Blue and White Party, accused the prime minister of engaging in pre-election "propaganda" at the expense of Israel's national security. "The Iranian nuclear programme cannot be used for campaign Shenanigans," he tweeted. Israel is set to hold snap legislative elections later this month after Netanyahu's Likud Party and its allies failed to form a coalition government after elections in April.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Monday called on the signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal, to annul the pact and join the US sanctions against Tehran in a bid to stop what he called Iran's "terrorist ambitions."

"Following IAEA's announcement on Iran's violation of JCPOA, I call on France, UK, Germany and others to annul the agreement and join American sanctions against Iran. The world must unite against Iran's military nuclear and global terrorist ambitions," Katz posted on Twitter.

The British House of Commons descended into chaos on Tuesday as MPs tried to one-up each other with ostentatious displays of outrage over Boris Johnson's suspension of parliament.

MPs scuffled at the doorway and had to be escorted out by security. One MP even vaulted themselves at the chair of outgoing House Speaker John Bercow.

Meanwhile, the less melodramatic among them merely held up signs reading 'silenced' in protest at the five-week closure announced by UK prime minister. Bercow also railed against the 'proroguing' or suspension of parliament.

Labour's Lloyd Russell-Moyle, 35, threw himself at Bercow's chair. When Bercow later left the chamber and made his way to the House of Lords, he left his own 'silenced' sign in his vacant seat.

Opposition MPs even engaged in a protest singalong, refusing to leave the chamber in opposition to what they perceive as a bastardization of British democracy.

The bizarre scenes unfolded at roughly 1:30am British time, after a marathon day in which MPs successfully blocked Johnson's second bid for a snap general election.

Bercow told the new Black Rod Sarah Clarke, essentially a messenger from the House of Lords, who entered the chamber to summon Bercow and the MPs through the lobby to the upper house:

"I will play my part but this is not a normal prorogation, it is not typical, it is not standard. It is one of the longest for decades. And it represents, not just in the minds of many colleagues but huge numbers of people outside, an act of executive fiat... but I will play my part."
