Iran Criticizes US Over World Cup Visa Denials

Iran has accused the United States of preventing several key members of its national football team's support staff from attending the upcoming FIFA World Cup, despite American authorities approving travel documents for players and selected personnel. The dispute emerged after US officials confirmed that visas had been granted to Iran's football squad and what they described as "necessary support staff" ahead of the team's opening World Cup match in Los Angeles on June 15. However, US authorities also stated that the visa process would not be used to allow individuals with security concerns to enter the country under the guise of participating in the tournament. In response, Iran's embassy in Turkey criticized Washington's decision, accusing the US of using politics to interfere in international sport. Iranian officials claimed that a significant number of managerial staff, executives and technical advisers had […]

US Hails Nigeria Counterterrorism Efforts, Confirms Joint Operation Against ISIS Leader

The United States has praised Nigeria's counterterrorism efforts and confirmed a collaborative joint operation that eliminated senior ISIS leader Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, in the Lake Chad Basin. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclosed that American and Nigerian security agencies recently collaborated in an operation that eliminated the senior global ISIS leader alongside multiple lieutenants during an assault on his compound. President Donald Trump described the operation as eliminating "the most active terrorist in the world," calling al-Minuki "second command of ISIS globally" and emphasizing the strike dealt a blow to IS's networks in Africa and globally by disrupting their funding and command systems. Al-Minuki was designated a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the U.S. in 2023 and played a key role in coordinating attacks across West Africa. He was killed during a strike on his compound […]

Trump Says Would Like to Meet Iran Leader Khamenei

US President Donald Trump has expressed willingness to meet with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran show little progress. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview that Trump is open to meeting anybody, including Iran's supreme leader. "I'm pretty confident in saying that if the Ayatollah said tomorrow he wanted to meet with President Trump, the president would meet him," Rubio told Bloomberg. Rubio emphasized that Trump's willingness to meet is not based on personal agreement with Khamenei, but on the belief that direct dialogue is the way to solve international problems. "Nation states need to interact with one another - I serve under a president that's willing to meet with anybody," the Secretary of State said. The conflict between the US and Iran began more […]

Iran Calls for Actions Not Words as US–Iran Peace Deal Nears Final Stage

Iran has called for concrete actions rather than words after US officials said a peace deal extending the ceasefire in the Middle East war is close to finalisation, with the deal now awaiting President Donald Trump’s approval. US Vice President JD Vance said Washington and Tehran are close to agreeing on a 60-day extension of the current ceasefire, which was first announced in early April before Trump set an open-ended extension prior to its expiration. The tentative deal would also allow traffic to freely flow through the strategic Strait of Hormuz while negotiators continue to address more difficult issues like Tehran’s nuclear programme. Speaking to reporters, Vance described the Geneva talks on Tuesday as “productive in some ways,” though he cautioned that Iran remains “not yet willing” to engage fully on some elements and that negotiators are still “going back […]

Oil Prices Bounce Higher After New US Strikes on Iran

Oil prices jumped higher after the United States launched fresh self-defense strikes on Iranian targets, shattering earlier hopes for an imminent peace deal and raising fears of further disruption to global energy supplies. Brent crude, the international benchmark, reclaimed nearly all of Monday’s losses, climbing by $1.40 or 1.5 per cent to settle at $97.56 per barrel shortly after the US military action began. US crude (WTI) also rose, recovering part of the sharp selloff that had seen prices drop nearly 7 per cent earlier in the session. The US strikes targeted missile launch sites and a drone control facility near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, as well as vessels attempting to lay mines close to the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed escalation reignited concerns about the security of the vital waterway, which Iran has effectively blocked since March and […]

Iran Accuses US of Breaking Ceasefire

Iran has accused the United States of carrying out a “serious violation” of the current ceasefire after fresh air strikes were launched across parts of the country over the last two days. According to the US Central Command (Centcom), the attacks targeted Iranian missile facilities and boats allegedly preparing to deploy naval mines in southern Iran. Washington described the operation as “self-defence strikes”. Iran’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the action, saying the United States would be held responsible for the consequences of what it called “aggressive and unjustified attacks” in Hormozgan province, a strategic coastal region located along the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. Iran’s restrictions in the area have already contributed to rising global energy prices in recent weeks. Tehran warned that it would respond firmly to […]

US Hits Iran With New Strikes Despite Talks to End War

US forces launched new strikes on missile sites in southern Iran and boats attempting to lay mines on Monday, imperiling a fragile ceasefire and casting fresh doubt on ongoing negotiations to end the Middle East war. The US Central Command said the self-defense operations in southern Iran were conducted on Monday to protect American troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. Captain Tim Hawkins, the spokesperson for US Central Command, stated the strikes targeted missile launch facilities and vessels trying to emplace mines, though additional attack details were not immediately disclosed. The strikes came as senior Iranian negotiators convened in Doha to discuss the cessation of hostilities with the United States, despite both parties downplaying the likelihood of a swift agreement. The ongoing conflict ignited by a US-Israeli offensive that began February 28 continues, moderated by a ceasefire that started […]

Russia Threatens New Strikes on Kyiv

Russia has warned that it could launch a new series of large-scale strikes on Kyiv, just days after carrying out one of its heaviest attacks on the Ukrainian capital since the war began. In a statement released by the Russian foreign ministry, Moscow said future operations would target what it described as “decision-making centres”, military command posts and drone production facilities located in Kyiv. Russian authorities also urged foreign nationals and diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital “as soon as possible” and advised citizens to avoid administrative and military sites. Ukraine strongly rejected the threats, accusing Moscow of attempting to intimidate both civilians and the international diplomatic community. Ukrainian officials described the warning as “shameless blackmail” and called on Western allies to increase pressure on Russia. The latest tensions follow a massive Russian assault carried out over the weekend, during […]

Rubio Says US Will Find Another Way If Iran Talks Fail

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Donald Trump prefers diplomacy but has "other options" if negotiations with Iran fail to produce an agreement. Speaking in Miami, Rubio acknowledged there are "good signs" in talks aimed at ending the conflict with Iran, though he warned that major challenges remain and cautioned against over-optimism. "The president's preference is to do a good deal. That's his preference. It's always been his preference. If we can get a good deal done, that would be great," Rubio said. "But if we can't get a good deal, the president's been clear he has other options." Rubio emphasized that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains the primary issue, with discussions on future uranium enrichment and reopening the Strait of Hormuz being essential to any agreement. The Secretary of State rejected Iran's proposed tolling system […]

Rubio Tells NATO Ministers Trump Very Disappointed Over Iran War Stance

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told NATO ministers that President Donald Trump is very disappointed with alliance members that have not allowed the United States to use military bases on their soil for operations in the Iran war. In a pointed remark to reporters in Miami before departing for a NATO foreign ministers' gathering in Helsingborg Sweden Rubio singled out Spain for refusing US access to its bases. He questioned why nations like Spain remain in NATO if they deny the United States use of their military facilities. Rubio said You have nations like Spain refusing us access to these bases so why are you part of NATO That's a very legitimate inquiry. He added that to be fair other NATO members have been quite supportive but this is a matter that needs addressing. This marks Rubio's first […]
