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 lawmaker: Christians suffer most from Nigeria’s violence, urges Trump to act

United States lawmaker Riley Moore says Christians have borne the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks in Nigeria for over 20 years and urged President Donald Trump to take decisive action.​ Moore said insecurity affects people of all faiths but insisted that Christians are disproportionately targeted. He claimed Christians are about five times more likely to be killed than any other religious group and accused Fulani militias and terrorist organisations of repeatedly attacking Christian communities, pastors and priests, and burning schools and churches, often on holy days.​ He praised Trump’s readiness to defend Christians globally and described the current moment as a once in a generation opportunity to deepen US–Nigeria relations while confronting the crisis. He acknowledged that Nigeria needs support to tackle insecurity but said President Bola Tinubu’s government must show stronger political will.​ Moore argued that any future bilateral […]

Rising Costs and Poverty Hit Iranians Hard

Many Iranians are struggling to make ends meet as inflation and economic pressures continue to erode living standards across the country. Marjan, a crafts seller from Isfahan, says she and her husband can no longer afford small luxuries like eating out twice a month. For six years, she earned a living selling wooden crafts on Instagram, but an internet blackout during the nationwide protests in early January wiped out her income. Even after the internet returned, her monthly sales plummeted from 300 million rials ($185) to less than 30 million rials. The couple is considering selling their car just to keep up with rent and loan payments. Many families face similar hardships. Mina, a 44-year-old mother in Tehran, says food prices have more than doubled in recent months. Beef, which cost 7 million rials per kilo two months ago, recently […]

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, […]

Xi and Putin praise closer China Russia ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have praised the strength of relations between their countries during a video call held as the war in Ukraine nears its fourth anniversary.​ In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Putin said the partnership between Moscow and Beijing is an important stabilising force at a time of growing global tensions. Xi, speaking through an interpreter, called for both countries to draw up a grand plan to further deepen ties, saying relations were moving in a positive direction.​ Days before Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, China and Russia declared a strategic partnership with “no limits.” Since then, China has become a key economic lifeline for Russia, increasing trade as Western nations imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow.​ Xi and Putin last met in person in Beijing […]

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 […]

US talks with hardline Venezuelan minister Cabello began months before raid

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration were in quiet contact with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello months before the US raid that seized President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, and those communications have continued since. Multiple sources say the talks were aimed at preventing further instability and focused on urging the 62‑year‑old power broker not to deploy security forces or ruling‑party militias against opposition supporters.​ Cabello controls key elements of Venezuela’s security apparatus, including intelligence services, police and parts of the armed forces, which have largely remained intact after Maduro’s removal. He is named in the same US drug‑trafficking indictment used to justify Maduro’s arrest, yet he was not detained in the operation, and discussions with Washington have also touched on sanctions and the criminal charges he faces.​ US officials see Cabello’s stance as critical to the survival of […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]

US–Venezuela oil pact angers China, cools prices

Global oil prices slipped after President Donald Trump confirmed a deal for the United States to import up to 2 billion dollars worth of Venezuelan crude that had been blocked by sanctions.​The plan would redirect an estimated 30 to 50 million barrels of stranded Venezuelan oil to US refiners, boosting supply and easing market pressure.​ China, once Venezuela’s main oil customer, criticised the move as economic coercion and accused Washington of effectively hijacking cargoes previously tied to Chinese interests.​Analysts say the shift could undercut Chinese refiners that relied on discounted Venezuelan crude and weaken Beijing’s long standing energy relationship with Caracas.​ Trump has presented the deal as a win for American motorists and Venezuelans, arguing it will lower fuel costs while putting Caracas’ oil revenues under tighter US control.​Uncertainty remains over how long the arrangement will last and how it […]

Russia sends sub to guard tanker pursued by US

Russia has deployed a submarine and other naval vessels to escort an aging oil tanker that US forces have been trying to seize off the coast of Venezuela.​The ship, formerly known as Bella 1 and now sailing under a new name, has been tracked for weeks over alleged involvement in sanctions busting and black market oil shipments.​ According to US officials cited in media reports, the tanker had attempted to approach Venezuela to load oil but was blocked and later pursued in international waters.​Washington considers the vessel stateless and subject to boarding because it has sailed under questionable flags while linked to networks moving sanctioned Russian and Venezuelan crude.​ Moscow’s decision to send a submarine and additional naval assets marks a sharp escalation in the standoff and signals its readiness to physically shield the tanker from US interdiction.​Analysts say the […]
