Qatar rejects Iran’s missile strike explanation

Qatar has firmly rejected Iran’s explanation for recent missile strikes on its territory, insisting that the attacks hit civilian areas and key infrastructure, not just American interests as Tehran claims. The Qatari position was delivered during a phone call between Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to Qatar, Iran maintained that the missiles were aimed at United States assets in the region and were not intended to target the State of Qatar. Sheikh Mohammed rejected this account, stressing that evidence on the ground shows the strikes affected civilian and residential areas, including locations near Hamad International Airport and other sensitive sites. He described the attacks as a blatant infringement of Qatar’s sovereignty and a serious threat to the safety of its people and strategic […]

Russia warns US-Israeli attacks on Iran could spark ‘catastrophe’

Russia has condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iran as a “dangerous adventure” that could push the Middle East to the brink of humanitarian, economic and even radiological catastrophe.​ In a strongly worded statement, Moscow accused Washington and Tel Aviv of openly seeking to destroy Iran’s constitutional order and overthrow a government that refuses to submit to Western “hegemonism”. The foreign ministry said the aggressors would bear full responsibility for any chain reaction of escalating violence triggered by their actions.​ Russia, which has grown closer to Tehran since launching its offensive in Ukraine, urged its citizens to leave both Iran and Israel amid fears of further strikes. It also said it was ready to help broker peaceful solutions grounded in international law, mutual respect and a balance of interests.​ Moscow recalled that it signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran […]

US Iran talks end with no deal but show signs of progress

Indirect talks between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear programme have ended in Geneva without a deal but with both sides reporting limited progress and plans to meet again soon.​ Oman’s foreign minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, who mediated the discussions, said negotiators exchanged “creative and positive ideas” and agreed to resume talks after consulting their capitals, with technical meetings scheduled in Vienna next week. He described the day as one of “significant progress” but gave no details on whether the main sticking points had been resolved.​ The talks, held separately between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are widely seen as a last chance to avoid possible US military strikes, amid a major American buildup of warships and jets near Iran.​ Araqchi told Iranian state TV that the negotiations were “intense […]

US-Iran Talks in Geneva Amid Strike Threat

Senior officials from the United States and Iran are holding a third round of indirect negotiations in Geneva, in talks widely viewed as critical to preventing a new military confrontation. The discussions come as President Donald Trump has warned that Washington could launch strikes against Iran if a new nuclear agreement is not secured. The meetings are taking place against the backdrop of the largest American military deployment in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Iran, for its part, has vowed to retaliate forcefully in the event of any attack. The negotiations are being facilitated once again by Oman’s foreign minister, Badr Albusaidi, who said both sides had shown unusual openness to exploring innovative solutions. Despite this, prospects for a breakthrough remain uncertain. Although Trump has repeatedly stated that he prefers diplomacy, he has also indicated that […]

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 […]

Iran close to deal for Chinese supersonic anti ship missiles

Iran is close to sealing a deal with China to buy CM 302 supersonic anti ship cruise missiles, according to six people familiar with the negotiations. The talks have gained urgency as the United States deploys a large naval force near Iran ahead of possible military strikes.​ The CM 302 missiles have a range of about 290 kilometres and are designed to fly low and fast to evade ship defences. Two weapons experts said their deployment would significantly boost Iran’s ability to target warships and would pose a new threat to U.S. naval forces in the region.​ Negotiations began at least two years ago but accelerated after the 12 day war between Israel and Iran in June. As discussions entered their final phase last summer, senior Iranian military and government officials, including deputy defence minister Massoud Oraei, travelled to China […]

Hezbollah vows to keep fighting after deadly Israeli airstrike in Lebanon

Hezbollah has warned that it has no choice but to continue its armed resistance after an Israeli airstrike on eastern Lebanon killed eight of its fighters. The group said Israeli forces targeted its command centres in the Bekaa region, while separate strikes in the south hit areas linked to the Palestinian group Hamas. Lebanon’s health ministry reported that 10 people were killed in the east and two in the south during the latest round of attacks. Hezbollah official Mahmud Qamati described the Bekaa raid as a new massacre and fresh aggression against Lebanon. Qamati, speaking on the Al Manar TV channel, said the movement had no other option left to defend its fighters and the country except resistance. He insisted that ongoing Israeli raids leave the group with little room for political compromise. The strikes came days after Lebanon’s government […]

US warns Iran as Trump weighs strike options

The White House has warned that Iran would be “very wise” to reach an agreement with the United States, as reports indicate that Donald Trump is reviewing potential military options against the Islamic Republic. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president still prefers a diplomatic solution to the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme. However, she acknowledged that arguments for military action are under consideration, noting that discussions within the administration remain ongoing and fluid. US media outlets, including CBS News, reported that Trump has discussed possible strike scenarios with advisers and has not yet made a final decision. Sources cited in the reports suggested that action could be taken in the coming days if negotiations stall. The developments come as Washington strengthens its military presence in the region. Satellite imagery confirmed the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln […]

Oil prices climb as Trump steps up threats against Iran

Global oil prices have risen again after US President Donald Trump intensified threats against Iran, fuelling fears of supply disruptions from the major crude producer. The latest gains come as US and Iranian officials hold sensitive talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme in Geneva. On Tuesday, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate climbed by around 1.5 per cent, while Brent North Sea crude also ticked higher in early trading. Late last month, Brent had already pushed above 70 dollars per barrel for the first time since July, with WTI moving past 65 dollars, as tensions escalated. The rally has been driven by a series of public warnings from Trump, who has repeatedly told Iran to accept a new nuclear deal or face military strikes. He boasted that a “massive armada” led by the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group was heading towards […]
