Iran Declares End to Nuclear Deal Restrictions

Iran announced on Saturday that it is no longer bound by restrictions on its nuclear programme, marking the official expiration of a landmark 10-year deal with world powers. Despite the move, Tehran reaffirmed its “commitment to diplomacy.” The 2015 nuclear accord, signed in Vienna by Iran, the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain, and Germany, had lifted international sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear activities. However, the agreement began to unravel after the United States withdrew under President Donald Trump in 2018, prompting Iran to roll back its commitments. The United Nations reinstated sanctions last month at the request of Britain, France, and Germany, effectively ending the deal. In a statement, Iran’s foreign ministry said, “All provisions of the deal, including restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme and related mechanisms, are now terminated.” It added that Iran remains committed […]

Trump Urges Zelensky to ‘Make a Deal’ After Missile Plea Fails

US President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “make a deal” with Russia, signaling a shift in Washington’s stance on the war in Ukraine. Zelensky met Trump at the White House on Friday, hoping to secure long-range US-made Tomahawk missiles. However, Trump declined to approve the request, saying both sides should instead end the fighting and reach an agreement. “The talks were very interesting and cordial,” Trump said on social media after the meeting. “But I told him, as I did President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing and make a deal. Let both claim victory, and let history decide.” Trump later told reporters that Ukraine and Russia should “stop right now at the battle line,” adding that pushing beyond current positions would “get too complicated.” Zelensky said Trump did not reject the missile […]

Lebanese Judge Grants Gaddafi’s Son $11m Bail

A Lebanese judge has ordered the release of Hannibal Gaddafi, son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, on an $11 million bail after nearly a decade in pre-trial detention. Gaddafi was arrested in 2015 and accused of withholding information about the 1978 disappearance of Lebanese Shiite cleric Mussa Sadr. The judge also imposed a travel ban. His lawyer has called the bail "totally unacceptable," arguing that his client, who is under international sanctions, cannot pay such a sum. The lawyer plans to challenge the decision and has previously raised concerns about Gaddafi's deteriorating health. The case has long strained relations between Lebanon and Libya, with Beirut blaming the elder Gaddafi's regime for the cleric's disappearance.

 Morocco Student Gets One-Year Jail Term for Protest Role

A Moroccan student has been sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in the recent youth-led protests, marking the first known jail term linked to the demonstrations. The student was convicted on charges of participating in an unauthorized gathering and insulting judicial police by providing false information. His lawyer has denounced the ruling as "unfair" and plans to appeal. The protests, organized by the anonymous "GenZ 212" collective, began in late September. They were initially sparked by the deaths of eight pregnant women at a hospital but have since expanded to demand broader social and political reforms. Human rights groups report that approximately 550 people are facing prosecution in connection with the protests, with many still in detention.

EU Court Rules Dogs in Cargo Are ‘Baggage’ for Airlines

The European Union's top court has ruled that dogs traveling in an airplane's cargo hold are legally considered "baggage," limiting the compensation airlines must pay if they are lost. The ruling came from a case involving Spanish airline Iberia and a passenger whose dog escaped and went missing during a flight from Buenos Aires to Barcelona in 2019. The passenger sought €5,000 in damages, but the court sided with the airline. The court stated that even though the term "baggage" typically refers to objects, pets are not excluded from the concept. This means compensation is limited to the standard amount for lost luggage under international air travel treaties, unless a passenger makes a special declaration of value for the pet at check-in.

Israel: Rafah Crossing Opening Date for Gaza to Be Set Later

Israel has announced that the date for reopening the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt will be announced later, after necessary preparations are completed with Egyptian authorities. The Israeli defense ministry body COGAT stated that the crossing will only be open for the movement of people and will not be used for humanitarian aid. It emphasized that aid continues to enter Gaza through other designated crossings. The Rafah crossing is a vital gateway for Gaza's connection to the outside world. International organizations have stockpiled aid on the Egyptian side, awaiting permission to transport it into the devastated territory. The European Union has stated it is ready to restart its monitoring mission at the crossing to support the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Israel Says One of Bodies Handed Over by Hamas Is Not a Former Hostage

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas during recent prisoner exchanges was not among the hostages previously identified as missing or deceased. Following overnight forensic examinations on four sets of remains returned Tuesday, Israeli medical officials concluded that one “does not match any of the hostages,” the army said in a statement. “Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages,” the military warned, emphasizing that full compliance with the terms of the U.S.-brokered truce was expected. Under the ceasefire agreement mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, Hamas has so far returned 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies — six Israelis, one Nepalese, and one whose identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, a hospital in Gaza confirmed that it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians handed back by Israel. […]

Hamas Tightens Gaza Control as Trump Vows to Disarm Group

Hamas has launched a sweeping crackdown across Gaza, executing alleged collaborators and reasserting control over the war-ravaged enclave, even as U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to forcibly disarm the militant group if it refuses to lay down its weapons. The Israeli military confirmed Tuesday that the remains of four more hostages had been recovered from Gaza, a day after Hamas handed over the bodies of four others and released the final 20 surviving captives under a U.S.-brokered truce. Hamas released a video showing the street execution of eight blindfolded and kneeling men it labelled “collaborators and outlaws.” The footage surfaced as heavy clashes erupted between Hamas security units and armed Palestinian clans in parts of the territory. In northern Gaza, Israeli troops continued to pull back from Gaza City while Hamas’s black-masked police returned to patrol the streets. The group’s […]

Russia’s FSB Accuses Mikhail Khodorkovsky of Terrorism and Plotting Coup

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has launched a criminal case against exiled oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, accusing him of forming a terrorist organisation and conspiring to seize power by force. The FSB announced on Tuesday that the charges stem from Khodorkovsky’s alleged links to a group opposing Russia’s war in Ukraine, which authorities claim sought to “destabilise the constitutional order.” The move marks the latest in a long line of prosecutions targeting dissenting voices within and outside Russia since the invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. Neither Khodorkovsky nor his Anti-War Committee — a group banned in Russia — has publicly commented on the allegations. Once Russia’s richest man and head of the now-defunct oil giant Yukos, Khodorkovsky spent 10 years in a Siberian prison on fraud and tax evasion charges. Western governments widely viewed his imprisonment as politically motivated, […]
