UK allows diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian oil

The UK government has issued a licence allowing imports of diesel and jet fuel that were refined from Russian crude in third countries, officials said. The move responds to rising fuel prices and supply concerns after disruptions linked to the conflict in the Middle East and a closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The licence, published on Tuesday and effective immediately, covers diesel and jet fuel refined abroad — notably in countries such as India and Turkey — while other oil product restrictions remain in place. Companies bringing these fuels into the UK must keep required records and follow conditions set by the licence. Government ministers said the change is needed to protect supply chains and ease cost‑of‑living pressures for households and businesses, while saying overall sanctions pressure on Russia will continue. The licence is indefinite but will be reviewed […]

Iran chief negotiator says US must accept proposal or face ‘failure’

Iran’s chief negotiator has warned that the United States must accept Tehran’s latest proposal in the ongoing talks or risk what he called a “failure” of the entire diplomatic process. In comments reported on Tuesday, he said Washington has reached a decisive moment and that continued hesitation would only deepen the stalemate. The negotiator, speaking on behalf of Iran’s foreign ministry, accused the US of clinging to “excessive” and “maximalist” demands that had already undermined earlier rounds of negotiations. He insisted that Iran’s latest offer is a balanced framework that respects the country’s rights while creating a path to resolve disputes over sanctions and its nuclear programme. According to regional reports, the proposal is part of a broader package seeking relief from what Tehran describes as “illegal unilateral sanctions” in exchange for verifiable steps on nuclear and security issues.

Trump rejects Iran’s response to US peace plan as ‘totally unacceptable’

US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s response to a recent American peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing Gulf conflict, describing Tehran’s counter offer as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.” His reaction, posted on social media just hours after Iran’s reply was delivered via Pakistani mediators, has cast fresh doubt on attempts to halt months of fighting that have disrupted global oil supplies. According to Iranian state media and semi official outlets, Tehran’s response focused on securing a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, where US ally Israel is battling Iran backed Hezbollah militants. The proposal reportedly demanded an end to the US naval blockade in the Gulf, guarantees against further attacks, compensation for war damages and the lifting of sanctions and restrictions on Iranian oil exports. While full details of Washington’s original peace plan have not been made public, US […]

Iran urges US to drop excessive demands in peace talks

Iran has urged the United States to drop what it calls excessive demands if both sides are to reach a deal and prevent their conflict from sliding back into full scale war. Iranian officials say Washington must adopt a more realistic approach in the ongoing talks and avoid miscalculations that could derail progress. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed this message in a phone call with his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, after the latest round of discussions between Iranian and US negotiators. He said success in the negotiations requires seriousness, realism and an end to overreaching demands from the American side. The talks, mediated by Oman and held in Geneva and Islamabad in recent weeks, are widely seen as a last ditch effort to secure a broader agreement that would include a ceasefire and steps to ease tensions around the Strait […]

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.

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.

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 […]
