Iran says final peace deal still distant as Hormuz stays shut

Iran says a final peace agreement with the United States is still far away as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed in the ongoing standoff.​ Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a televised address that there has been some progress in talks with Washington but many gaps and fundamental issues remain unresolved. He stressed that Iran is still far from a final discussion on ending the war launched by the United States and Israel against the country.​ Iran has refused to reopen the vital waterway until the US lifts its blockade of Iranian ports. Ghalibaf warned that if America does not end the blockade, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will remain limited.​ The comments came after high level talks in Pakistan failed to produce a breakthrough. US President Donald Trump said very good conversations are ongoing but accused […]

Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz again amid war talks

Iran’s military has again declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, only hours after briefly reopening the vital waterway to commercial traffic. The move has renewed uncertainty over efforts to reach a peace deal in the ongoing US Israeli war with Iran. Tehran announced on Friday that the strait which normally carries about one fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments was open following a ceasefire in Lebanon that paused Israel’s war with Hezbollah. That decision sent oil prices sharply lower and raised hopes of easing tensions. However, Iran warned it would shut the strait again as long as the United States maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports. On Saturday, state TV quoted the country’s military central command as saying control of the strait had returned to its previous status and was under strict management by the armed […]

Pope Leo says he regrets remarks seen as clash with Trump

Pope Leo XIV has said he regrets that some of his recent comments were interpreted as a response to criticism from US President Donald Trump. He stressed that he is not interested in entering into any kind of public debate with the American leader. Speaking to journalists on his flight to Angola, the pope referred to a speech he delivered in Cameroon about tyrants ransacking the world. He explained that the remarks were written long before Trump said he was not a big fan of the pope. Despite this, Pope Leo noted that many people assumed his words were aimed at Trump. He said it was perceived as if he wanted to start a new argument with the president, which he insisted is not his intention. The pope’s clarification comes amid increased media attention on his comments about global politics […]

Machado says she has no regrets gifting Nobel medal to Trump

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says she does not regret symbolically gifting her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump earlier this year. Speaking at a news conference in Madrid, Machado said there is a world leader who risked the lives of his own citizens for Venezuela’s freedom, referring to Trump. She described his actions as something Venezuelans will never forget. Machado handed her Nobel medal to Trump during a visit to the White House in January, just two weeks after he ordered US forces to attack Caracas and capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Maduro is now detained in New York, where he faces US drug trafficking charges. Trump has long openly coveted the Nobel Peace Prize. After Machado’s gesture, the Norwegian Nobel Committee clarified that the honour itself cannot be revoked, shared or transferred, regardless of […]

Trump calls Iran war a little diversion despite public anger

US President Donald Trump has described the ongoing war with Iran as a little diversion during his second term, even as opinion polls show that many Americans oppose the conflict.​ Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he promoted his no tax on tips measure from last year’s major tax reform bill, the 79 year old leader praised his current economic record. He told supporters that the United States had the best economy in its history during his first term and that things are even better now.​ Trump referred to the war in Iran as a diversion to the lovely country of Iran and insisted that military action was necessary to prevent really bad things from happening. He was apparently referring to concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.​ An Ipsos poll conducted last weekend found that 51 percent of […]

US says it is optimistic about reaching peace deal with Iran

The United States is exploring a second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan and is “optimistic” about reaching a deal to end the ongoing war, US officials have said. A Pakistani delegation has arrived in Tehran with a new message from Washington after US President Donald Trump signalled that negotiations could resume this week, following last weekend’s failed talks in Islamabad. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that any further discussions would “very likely” take place again in Islamabad, adding: “Those discussions are being had, and we feel good about the prospects of a deal.” The renewed diplomatic push comes as Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif intensifies shuttle diplomacy, including a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to support efforts to end the six‑week conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States. US Vice […]

Trump says Israel, Lebanon leaders to hold talks Thursday

US President Donald Trump says the leaders of Israel and Lebanon will speak on Thursday in what would be an unprecedented direct contact, though officials in both countries have yet to confirm any such plan. Trump’s comments came as Washington tries to ease hostilities after the first direct talks in decades between the two nations’ ambassadors, who met in the US capital this week. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Hezbollah, the Iran‑backed armed group based in the country, launched attacks on Israel. Since then, Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed more than 2,000 people and displaced over a million, despite international calls for a ceasefire, while Israeli ground forces have pushed into the country’s south. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said he was “trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and […]

Ex-NATO chief says UK ‘not safe’

Former NATO secretary general George Robertson has warned that Britain’s national security is “in peril”, declaring that the UK is “not safe” under current defence arrangements. In extracts of a speech reported by the Financial Times and BBC, Robertson accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government of “corrosive complacency” on defence. He said the Iran war should serve as a “rude wake‑up call” to the risks the UK faces. “We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe,” the former Labour defence secretary was quoted as saying. Robertson led a government‑commissioned review of Britain’s defence capabilities, published last year, and was expecting ministers to follow it with a 10‑year defence investment plan. That plan was meant to be released late last year but has yet to appear. He told the Financial Times there was a gap […]

China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’

China has condemned the United States over its blockade of Iranian ports, describing Washington’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible” amid soaring tensions in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade threatening to sink ships entering or leaving Iranian ports after weekend peace talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed. The blockade took effect at 1400 GMT on Monday, despite the two sides having agreed to a fragile two‑week ceasefire just days earlier. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the US decision to increase military deployments and enforce a targeted blockade would only heighten tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire. He warned that the move further endangers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran has effectively closed the strait to most traffic, allowing only vessels serving countries it regards […]

Iran sets new ship routes in Strait of Hormuz

Iran has announced new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, citing safety concerns over possible sea mines in the main channel used by vessels. The decision comes as Tehran agreed to temporarily reopen the strategic waterway under a two week truce deal, after weeks of tension that threatened global oil supplies. About one fifth of the world’s oil passes through the strait. In a statement reported by local media, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advised all ships to follow designated alternative paths to reduce the risk of hitting sea mines and to improve maritime safety. The guidance includes revised entry and exit routes for vessels using the corridor. The move follows a ceasefire agreement reached between Iran and the United States, which took effect overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. The truce was reportedly secured less than an hour before […]
