Cuba intercepts US boat, 4 killed in alleged plot

Cuba has accused 10 people aboard a US-registered speedboat of planning “an infiltration with terrorist aims” after the vessel was intercepted off its northern coast on Wednesday. According to the Cuban interior ministry, four people were killed and six injured in a firefight, with authorities claiming those aboard the Florida-registered boat fired first. The boat was intercepted about one nautical mile off Cayo Falcones, and the Cuban commander on board was reportedly injured in the clash. Cuban authorities have identified one of the deceased and all six survivors, who were evacuated and received medical care. Officials said all 10 on the speedboat were Cuban nationals residing in the US. An 11th person was arrested and allegedly admitted involvement in the plot. Most individuals on board reportedly had prior criminal or violent records. Weapons, including handguns, assault rifles, improvised explosive devices, […]

Iran vows flexibility at Geneva nuclear talks amid US strike threat

Iran has promised to show flexibility at indirect nuclear talks with the United States in Geneva, held under the shadow of a large US military buildup and the threat of possible strikes.​ The latest round of negotiations, the third this month, is focused on Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief, with meetings mediated by Oman’s foreign minister Badr Albusaidi. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner are due to take part on the American side, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi leads the Iranian team.​ Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on state TV that Tehran will approach the talks with seriousness and flexibility, but only on nuclear and sanctions issues. He rejected attempts to add Iran’s ballistic missile programme to the agenda, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the missiles a major problem and […]

Trump uses State of the Union to justify possible Iran attack

President Donald Trump has used his State of the Union address to set out his case for a possible military attack on Iran, vowing he will never allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon. He accused Iran of spreading terrorism, restarting its nuclear programme and developing missiles that he said could soon reach the United States.​ Trump told Congress that the Iranian leadership and its “murderous proxies” have brought terrorism, death and hate to the Middle East and beyond. He also blamed Tehran for deadly roadside bombings against US troops and civilians and for the deaths of thousands of protesters in recent anti government demonstrations, citing a figure of 32,000 people killed.​ Iran rejected his claims as false. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X that statements about Iran’s nuclear work, long range missile capability and protest death toll […]

UK foreign minister to meet Rubio over tensions at joint air base

Britain’s foreign minister Yvette Cooper will meet United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Friday amid rising tensions over their joint military base on Diego Garcia. The talks follow President Donald Trump’s renewed criticism of the UK’s decision to cede sovereignty over the surrounding Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Under a deal agreed last year by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Britain will transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands while keeping control of the Diego Garcia base through a 99 year lease that guarantees continued US military access. Washington initially backed the arrangement, but Trump has since repeatedly attacked it, calling the move a “big mistake” and warning London not to “give away Diego Garcia.” The dispute has sharpened as the US steps up military deployments around Iran and weighs possible strikes against its nuclear and military facilities. British […]

Rubio Reassures Europe at Munich Summit

Marco Rubio drew intense scrutiny at the Munich Security Conference, as European leaders watched closely for signals about the trajectory of transatlantic relations under Donald Trump. Although Rubio’s remarks did not entirely dispel European unease, they were broadly interpreted as an effort to reassure allies that strains in US-Europe relations would not amount to a rupture. His tone contrasted with last year’s sharper rhetoric from JD Vance, whose speech had openly criticised European political and cultural trends. Rubio, however, was not the only American voice seeking to steady nerves in Munich. A sizable bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers and governors attended the summit, including several Democrats widely seen as potential contenders for the 2028 presidential nomination. Among them was Gavin Newsom, who underscored the temporality of the current administration. “Donald Trump is temporary. He’ll be gone in three years,” he […]

Iran open to nuclear compromises if US agrees to discuss sanctions

Iran has signalled it is ready to consider compromises on its nuclear programme if the United States is willing to discuss lifting economic sanctions. Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi made the comments in an interview with the BBC, saying “the ball is in America’s court” to show it wants a deal.​ Tehran has long said it is prepared to accept limits on its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief, but it refuses to tie nuclear talks to other issues such as its missile programme. Takht Ravanchi stressed that any agreement must include sanctions on the negotiating table, given their impact on Iran’s struggling economy. A second round of indirect talks between Iran and the US is expected in Geneva on Tuesday, following earlier contacts in Oman. Takht Ravanchi described the first round as “somewhat positive” but said it […]

Europe welcomes Rubio’s tone but vows to stay more independent

European leaders have broadly welcomed the tone of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech on transatlantic ties at the Munich Security Conference, but many say it will not change their push for a more autonomous Europe. In his keynote address, Rubio described the United States as the “offspring of Europe” and called for unity with allies while also criticising them on issues such as defence spending and global governance. A senior French minister said Rubio’s recognition of shared history and common values was positive, but stressed that Europe would still pursue a stronger and more independent role in security and foreign policy. He noted that European countries have heard similar messages from past US administrations and that their long term goal remains to build a resilient, self reliant Europe inside a strong NATO. Another European foreign minister said Rubio’s […]

Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]

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 […]

Denmark’s Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory moving towards independence

Denmark is under pressure to defend Greenland from growing United States interest, even as the Arctic territory moves steadily towards full independence. The issue will be high on the agenda when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Danish and Greenlandic leaders next week.​ Greenland has enjoyed greater autonomy since 1979 and a 2009 agreement recognises the right of its people to choose independence. All major parties on the island support eventual statehood, and the largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and open direct talks with Washington.​ Analysts say President Donald Trump’s threat to take control of Greenland, by purchase or force, has triggered strong solidarity for Denmark in Europe. But it has also exposed a paradox, as Denmark spends diplomatic capital to protect a territory whose long term goal is to one day walk away.​ Greenland’s position […]
