Missing World Cup will be loss of major diplomatic asset – Iran FA

Iran’s football federation has warned that missing the 2026 FIFA World Cup would amount to losing a major diplomatic asset for the country, as debates continue over Tehran’s participation amid heightened political tensions. Federation president Mehdi Taj stressed that Iran’s presence at the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada would provide a rare soft power platform at a time of strained relations with Western governments. Taj reiterated that the World Cup is organised and “hosted” by FIFA, not by any single country, pushing back against efforts to politicise Iran’s participation. He argued that football and diplomacy are intertwined, and that Iran’s national team represents an important channel for engagement with global audiences beyond formal government contacts. In recent weeks, Iranian officials have demanded a series of guarantees from FIFA and the 2026 co hosts over visas, security and […]

US awaits Iran’s response to latest peace deal offer

The United States is awaiting Iran’s response to its latest peace deal offer aimed at ending the ongoing conflict and easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal, drawn up with the help of regional mediators, is part of renewed diplomatic efforts to halt hostilities and restore vital Gulf shipping lanes. According to US and regional sources, Washington has presented Tehran with a concise framework that builds on an earlier 15 point plan shared with allies. The offer focuses on securing a ceasefire, reopening blocked shipping routes and setting parameters for future talks, while leaving the most sensitive nuclear issues to a later stage. Iranian officials say they have received the latest US response through Pakistan and are currently studying it. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Tehran’s counter response will also be transmitted via Pakistani mediators once […]

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 […]

Iran warns US forces over Trump’s Hormuz escort plan

Iran has warned that its forces will attack United States troops if they attempt to enter or operate in the Strait of Hormuz under President Donald Trump’s new ship escort plan. The warning raises the risk of a direct clash in one of the world’s most strategic waterways, even as a fragile ceasefire remains in place. Trump announced that the US will begin escorting foreign commercial ships trapped by the blockade in Hormuz, in a mission he called Project Freedom. He described the plan as a humanitarian effort to help vessels that have been stranded for weeks, with crews running low on food and other supplies. In response, Iran’s military central command said any safe passage through the strait must be coordinated with its forces under all circumstances. Major General Ali Abdollahi, speaking through state media, declared that any foreign […]

Iran military warns renewed war with US is likely

A senior Iranian military official has warned that a renewed war with the United States is now a likely outcome if current tensions are not reduced. The warning comes amid disputes over a US-led blockade of Iranian ports, which Tehran has condemned as banditry and piracy. According to statements carried by Iranian state media, the military’s central command has said that if the US continues what Iran calls blockading, banditry and piracy in regional waters, American forces should expect a strong response from Iran’s armed forces. Iranian commanders say they have updated combat plans and military targets as they prepare for the possibility of renewed hostilities. The warning follows weeks of fragile ceasefire arrangements and stalled diplomatic efforts. Both Washington and Tehran have publicly claimed they are ready for war if talks fail and violations continue. Iranian officials accuse the […]

Insecurity: US to review aid, humanitarian assistance to Nigeria

The United States government is set to review its financial aid and humanitarian assistance to Nigeria amid growing concerns over insecurity and violence in the country. The move follows new proposals in the US Congress that seek to tie parts of American support to clear security and human rights benchmarks. Lawmakers on the US House Appropriations Committee have advanced a State Department funding bill that would place stricter conditions on assistance to Nigeria. Under the proposed framework, up to 50 per cent of certain funds could be withheld until the US Secretary of State certifies that Nigeria is taking “effective steps” to curb violence and protect civilians. The bill also pushes for stronger accountability measures, including investigations and prosecutions of armed groups and security personnel implicated in abuses. It directs Nigerian authorities to prioritise support for victims, especially internally displaced […]

US reiterates recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Sahara

The United States has again reaffirmed its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and its support for Rabat’s autonomy plan for the disputed territory. Washington says genuine autonomy under Moroccan authority remains the only realistic basis for a lasting political solution. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio restated the position during talks in Washington with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. According to official readouts, Rubio said the US stance, first announced under President Donald Trump in 2020, has not changed. Trump had recognised Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara as part of a deal in which Rabat agreed to normalise relations with Israel. In a message to King Mohammed VI during his second term, he reiterated US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty and described the autonomy proposal as serious, credible and realistic. American officials have repeatedly stressed that they do not […]

Ghana pulls out of US aid talks over data demand

Ghana has withdrawn from talks on a new United States health aid deal after objecting to US demands for access to sensitive personal health data. The move is a fresh setback for President Donald Trump’s push to link parts of US foreign aid to wider data sharing agreements with partner countries. According to a source familiar with the negotiations, the proposed bilateral agreement would have provided about 109 million dollars in US health assistance to Ghana over five years. In return, Ghana would have been required to grant the US extensive access to its national health data systems, including real time information on disease trends and other patient level records. The government of President John Dramani Mahama decided that the conditions posed serious risks to privacy and national security and could breach Ghana’s data protection and health laws. After months […]

US reviewing latest Iran proposal, says talks continue

The United States says it is carefully examining a new proposal from Iran aimed at breaking the deadlock over the ongoing war and tensions in the Gulf. Officials in Washington say they are still reviewing the details and will consult allies before taking a position. Iranian officials have outlined an offer that focuses first on ending the conflict and easing restrictions on vital shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz. Under the proposal, discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme would come later, after a ceasefire and security guarantees are in place. This approach does not fully match the public stance of the United States, which insists that nuclear issues must be addressed from the start of any broader agreement. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suggested that Tehran may be trying to gain time, saying Washington will not allow Iran […]
