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 […]

Islamic leaders in Nigeria have rejected a recommendation by a United States congressional panel asking the Federal Government to scrap Sharia and blasphemy laws, saying the demand touches on national sovereignty, the constitution and fragile interfaith relations in the country.​ Those who spoke include an official of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs who asked not to be named, Sheikh Sidi Munir of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Nurudeen Khalid, former Chief Imam of the National Assembly Legislative Quarters Juma’at Mosque in Abuja, and Professor Ishaq Akintola, Executive Director of Muslim Rights Concern.​ The US panel’s report followed hearings, expert consultations and fact-finding visits to Nigeria and suggested possible sanctions, visa bans and a new security partnership to protect vulnerable communities, while also urging Nigeria to show clear action against religious persecution and insecurity.​ Responding, the NSCIA official […]

US begins pullout from main base in northeast Syria

US forces have begun withdrawing from their largest military base in northeast Syria in what Syrian security and military sources describe as the first phase of a broader drawdown from the region. Dozens of US military trucks and armoured vehicles were seen leaving the Qasrak base in Hasakah province and moving towards Iraq’s Kurdistan region, with the pullout expected to take several weeks.​ The base at Qasrak has for years served as a key hub for the US led coalition’s operations against Islamic State, supporting deployments across northeastern Syria in partnership with the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces. Even after a full evacuation from Qasrak, the coalition is expected to retain a presence at the Rmelan (Kharab al Jir) base near the Iraqi border, though overall troop numbers in Syria are set to fall sharply. Officials quoted in local and […]

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 […]

Iran says “good progress” made in Geneva nuclear talks with US

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says indirect nuclear negotiations with the United States have made “good progress”, as Washington reiterated that military action remains an option if diplomacy collapses. The latest round of talks, mediated by Oman, took place Tuesday in Geneva, amid heightened military posturing by both sides in the Gulf region. Agreement on “guiding principles” Speaking to Iranian state television after the meeting, Araghchi said both sides had reached a broad understanding on key principles that will shape the next phase of negotiations. “Ultimately, we were able to reach broad agreement on a set of guiding principles, based on which we will move forward and begin working on the text of a potential agreement,” he said. He described the discussions as an improvement on the previous round held in Oman earlier this month, adding that negotiators now have […]

Geneva talks end without Ukraine deal

Talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States aimed at ending Moscow’s war in Ukraine have ended without a decisive breakthrough. The trilateral negotiations, held in Geneva, stretched late into Tuesday and resumed briefly on Wednesday for about two hours. Despite earlier optimism from US envoy Steve Witkoff, both the Russian and Ukrainian sides described the discussions as challenging. According to a Ukrainian diplomatic source, limited progress was achieved on certain military matters, including discussions on the current front line and mechanisms for monitoring a potential ceasefire. However, the core dispute over territory — central to any lasting truce — remains unresolved, with positions in Moscow and Kyiv still significantly apart. Russia continues to insist on full control of the Donbas region, encompassing Donetsk and Luhansk, a demand Kyiv considers unacceptable. Chief Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky acknowledged the difficulty of […]

Poland Italy refuse to join Trump’s Board of Peace

Poland and Italy have said they will not join US President Donald Trump’s new Board of Peace under its current terms, adding to the list of Washington allies staying away from the initiative. The body was launched to support a Gaza ceasefire but is expected to take on a wider role in resolving global conflicts, raising concerns it could rival the United Nations.​ Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a government meeting that national doubts over the board’s design meant Warsaw would not participate for now. He said Poland would continue to analyse the proposal and stressed that relations with the United States remain a priority, adding that Warsaw does not rule out joining if circumstances change.​ Tusk noted that Russia and Belarus had been invited to the Board of Peace, a factor that has made many Western countries cautious.

US sends 200 troops to Nigeria for military training

The United States has deployed about 200 troops to Nigeria to help train the Armed Forces in the fight against Islamist militants. The Wall Street Journal quoted a US military official as saying the move followed recent criticism by President Donald Trump over attacks on Christians in Nigeria.​ The report said the troops will strengthen Nigeria’s counterterrorism capacity through training and operational support. They will join a small number of US advisers already in the country who assist with intelligence for identifying targets for military operations.​ During a virtual briefing, Commander of US Africa Command, General Dagvin R. Anderson, confirmed that cooperation between both countries has increased after high level meetings. He said he met President Bola Tinubu and they agreed to work together on a way forward for security in the region.​ Anderson explained that a small US team […]

Top Iranian adviser meets Oman as US talks near

A top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader has held talks in Oman as Tehran and Washington prepare for a new round of negotiations aimed at avoiding fresh conflict. Oman hosted indirect talks between Iran and the United States last week, which Tehran says showed enough common ground to keep diplomacy alive.​ Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the discussions in Oman allowed Iran to gauge how serious the US is about reaching an agreement. He said Ali Larijani’s visit to Muscat was planned in advance and that the senior adviser would travel next to Qatar, another key Gulf mediator.​ The latest contacts come after President Donald Trump sent a US naval flotilla to the region, raising fears of possible military action against Iran. Trump had threatened to intervene during a bloody crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran last year but […]

Iran says Netanyahu’s US trip undermines nuclear talks

Iran has warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States is aimed at undermining newly resumed nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.​ Netanyahu left for Washington on Tuesday to meet US President Donald Trump and press for a tougher stance on Iran’s ballistic missile programme in upcoming negotiations. It is his seventh meeting with Trump since the US president returned to office, including a visit to Jerusalem in October 2025 after Trump announced a ceasefire in Gaza.​ Speaking at the airport, Netanyahu said he would discuss Gaza, wider regional issues and, above all, the negotiations with Iran. He promised to present Israel’s position on what he called the key principles that must guide the talks for the sake of peace and security in the Middle East.​ His office has said he will insist that any deal […]
