Iran president orders nuclear talks with US as Trump eyes sanctions‑lifting deal

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the opening of nuclear talks with the United States, signalling a new diplomatic push even as tensions remain high over protests and Western sanctions. State aligned Fars news agency, citing an unnamed government source, said Pezeshkian instructed officials to begin negotiations with Washington on Iran’s nuclear file, a report later echoed by government newspaper Iran and reformist daily Shargh. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened military action and deployed an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East in response to Iran’s deadly crackdown on anti government protests that peaked last month. While ramping up pressure, Trump has repeatedly said he still hopes for a deal that would avert war. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran is working on a method and framework for talks, with messages between the two […]

Ukraine talks set for next week as deep freeze strains war‑battered power grid

Ukraine, Russia and the United States will hold a new round of talks in Abu Dhabi on February 4–5, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has confirmed, as diplomacy cautiously resumes nearly four years into the war. The meeting follows an initial round in late January that ended without a breakthrough on core issues such as territory, with Moscow still demanding that Kyiv cede additional land in eastern Ukraine, a condition Ukraine continues to reject. Zelenskiy said Kyiv is ready for “substantive” discussions that bring the country closer to what he called a “real and dignified” peace. The renewed talks come as a brutal cold snap exposes the weakness of Ukraine’s energy grid after repeated Russian strikes. In Kyiv, a major system failure on Saturday cut power to parts of the country and left almost 3,500 apartment blocks temporarily without heating, with about […]

Iran warns of regional conflict if US attacks, labels EU armies ‘terrorist groups’

Iran has warned that any United States military attack on its territory could ignite a wider regional conflict, amid soaring tensions over protests, sanctions and stalled nuclear talks. The warning came as Tehran responded angrily to a recent move by the European Union to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. In retaliation, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced that Iran now considers EU armies to be “terrorist groups” and is weighing the expulsion of European military attachés. The United States has significantly reinforced its naval presence in the Middle East in recent weeks, deploying an aircraft carrier, six destroyers and three littoral combat ships to the region after President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened intervention if Iran refused a nuclear deal or continued its deadly crackdown on protesters. Despite the heated rhetoric, both Washington and Tehran […]

Iran army chief warns US, Israel against attack, says forces on high alert

Iran’s army chief, Major General Amir Hatami, has warned the United States and Israel that any military attack on his country would endanger their own security and that of the wider region. He said Iran’s armed forces are on full defensive and military readiness following heavy US deployments in the Gulf. Hatami cautioned that if “the enemy makes a mistake,” it will threaten the security of the US, the Middle East and what he called the Zionist regime. His comments came after Washington sent a naval strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the region, amid US threats to intervene following a deadly crackdown on anti government protests in Iran. Iran has repeatedly warned it would respond to any attack with missile strikes on US bases, ships and allies, including Israel. On Friday, President Donald Trump […]

Trump warns UK it is ‘very dangerous’ to deepen ties with China

United States President Donald Trump has warned that it is “very dangerous” for Britain to deepen economic ties with China as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits Beijing for talks with President Xi Jinping.

Starmer’s trip is the first by a British prime minister to China since 2018 and follows visits by several Western leaders seeking to reset relations with Beijing. It is widely seen as part of a […]

Trump says Putin agreed to pause Kyiv strikes during extreme cold

United States President Donald Trump says Russian leader Vladimir Putin has agreed to his personal request to pause missile strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities during an extreme cold spell. Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine’s power infrastructure have left millions facing blackouts, heating shortages and water cuts as temperatures plunge, creating a new humanitarian emergency across the country. Trump told a cabinet meeting that he asked Putin not to fire on Kyiv and surrounding towns for a week because of the “extraordinary” cold. He claimed Putin accepted the request, describing the response as “very nice” and saying people had warned him the call would be a waste of time. Trump did not say exactly when the conversation took place or when the pause in strikes would begin. The Kremlin has not confirmed any such truce. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, […]

Petrol price may rise again as crude oil hits new high

Nigerians may face another round of petrol price increases as crude oil prices continue to climb on the international market. Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude has risen to 70.30 dollars per barrel from 64 dollars last week, about a 10 per cent increase and the highest level so far this year. Brent crude now trades at 70.15 dollars per barrel, up from 66 dollars, while Murban crude has moved to 68.01 dollars from 65.20 dollars. Earlier in the week, filling stations raised petrol pump prices to an average of 850 naira per litre from 750 naira, citing the rise in crude prices. The Dangote Refinery and oil marketers argued that crude oil is the main input cost and that higher crude prices inevitably push up fuel prices. However, while crude prices went up by about 6.2 per cent, the local petrol […]

China tells US its containment strategy is bound to fail

China has warned that United States efforts to contain its rise are doomed to fail, even as Beijing says it is willing to work with Washington to improve relations. Defence ministry spokesman Jiang Bin told a news briefing on Thursday that “facts have proven that any attempt to contain or block China is doomed to fail.” He added that China is ready to work with the US to promote stable ties ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected visit to China in April for talks with President Xi Jinping. The warning comes days after the US Department of Defense released its 2026 National Defense Strategy, which pledges to “deter China in the Indo Pacific through strength, not confrontation.” The new strategy adopts a softer tone than the previous one under former President Joe Biden, which labelled China as Washington’s most consequential […]

Iraq PM hopeful Maliki slams Trump over ‘blatant’ interference

Iraqi prime ministerial candidate Nouri al Maliki has condemned what he called blatant interference by United States President Donald Trump in Iraq’s internal politics. Maliki spoke after Trump warned that Washington would end all support to Iraq if he emerged as prime minister. Maliki, a former two term prime minister, said in a post on X that Iraq firmly rejects American meddling in its affairs. He described Trump’s comments as a violation of Iraq’s democratic system, which has been in place since the 2003 US led invasion that removed Saddam Hussein. The 75 year old politician fell out with Washington during his earlier time in office between 2006 and 2014 over his close ties to Iran and accusations of pursuing a sectarian agenda. Despite this, he has remained a powerful figure and kingmaker whose backing is seen as crucial to […]
