Trump Says Iran Deal Largely Negotiated Dispute Over Strait Reopening

US President Donald Trump has announced that a peace deal with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened as part of the agreement, though Tehran has disputed the claim that control of the waterway will change. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States, the Islamic Republic of Iran and various other Middle East countries including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and mediator Pakistan has been largely negotiated and is subject to finalisation. The deal reportedly includes provisional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days as a confidence-building measure, during which Iran would not charge tolls for ships transiting the waterway and would clear mines previously laid in the Hormuz Strait to allow free passage. In exchange, the US would […]

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 […]

Turkey accuses Israel of portraying it as ‘new enemy’

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has accused Israel of trying to portray Turkey as its “new enemy” amid rising tensions over the Gaza war and the broader regional conflict involving Iran. Speaking in a televised interview with state‑run Anadolu news agency, Fidan said Israel “cannot live without an enemy” and is now attempting to cast Turkey in that role following years of confrontation with Iran and its allies. Relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv have steadily worsened since the Gaza war erupted after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 cross‑border attack on Israel. Fidan’s remarks came after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned United States President Donald Trump of possible “provocations and sabotage” that could undermine an initial ceasefire understanding in the US‑Israeli war on Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will continue to confront Tehran and its regional […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

Syrians in Turkey weigh hopes and fears of return

For many Syrians who grew up in exile, the idea of returning home carries a powerful emotional pull, even when their memories of the country are faint or fragmented. Ahmed, 18, is one of them. Standing outside a mosque in Gaziantep, near Turkey’s border with Syria, he speaks with determination about his future. His family fled Syria when he was five, but he plans to return within the next two years. Before that, he wants to save some money, aware that salaries in Syria remain low. Despite the uncertainty, he believes the country’s prospects will improve as reconstruction advances. If Ahmed follows through, he will join more than half a million Syrians who have left Turkey since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Many of them had lived in Turkey for over a decade, after fleeing the civil […]

Pope Leo visits Istanbul’s iconic Blue Mosque

Pope Leo XIV has visited Istanbul’s famed Blue Mosque as part of his first foreign trip since becoming head of the Catholic Church. The stop at the 17th‑century Sultan Ahmed Mosque came during a multi‑day visit to Türkiye and Lebanon marking the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea.​ At the mosque, Turkey’s top religious official from the Diyanet walked the pontiff through the carpeted interior, showing him the soaring blue‑tiled dome and Arabic calligraphy that give the site its global renown. Following the example of his predecessors, Leo removed his shoes and spent a quiet moment in reflection, seen as a gesture of respect toward the country’s Muslim majority.​ The Blue Mosque visit is one of several symbolic moments on a trip focused on dialogue between Christians and Muslims and support for Christian communities in the Middle East.
