Leo stressed that “only by returning to negotiations can an end to the war be achieved”, urging leaders to seize the window to pursue a lasting political settlement.

China says it ‘welcomes’ Middle East ceasefire agreement

China has said it “welcomes” the ceasefire agreement reached in the Middle East between the parties to the Iran conflict. “China welcomes relevant parties announcing the reaching of a ceasefire agreement,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular briefing in Beijing. She expressed hope that all sides would “earnestly implement” the truce, which includes a two‑week halt to strikes and a controlled reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi previously outlined a framework calling for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and […]

Strait of Hormuz reopens as US, Iran agree two‑week ceasefire

Iran has confirmed a conditional two‑week ceasefire with the United States that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic under tight military control. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said ships will be allowed “safe passage” through the vital waterway for 14 days, provided all attacks against Iran are halted. The arrangement follows President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would suspend bombing Iran for two weeks if Tehran completely reopened the strait for global oil and gas flows. Both sides are presenting the 11th‑hour truce as a victory, with Washington citing pressure on Iran and Tehran claiming it forced the US to pause strikes and recognise its control over Hormuz. Markets have reacted positively, with global oil prices sliding by around 15 percent and stock indices rallying on hopes that exports from the Gulf can resume, even if partially. Analysts, […]

U.S., Iran agree two‑week ceasefire as Hormuz passage set to resume

The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two‑week ceasefire that will see a partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping and oil tankers. The deal, announced late Tuesday just before President Donald Trump’s deadline for possible massive strikes on Iran, was brokered with help from Pakistan and other regional intermediaries. Under the arrangement, the U.S. and Israel will halt air and missile strikes on Iranian territory for 14 days, while Tehran commits to allowing “safe passage” through the strategic waterway in coordination with its armed forces. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement that, for the duration of the ceasefire, ships can transit the strait subject to “technical limitations” and prior coordination with Iranian military authorities. Trump hailed the agreement on social media as a “double‑sided ceasefire,” claiming Washington had already met […]

Iran warns of ‘much more devastating’ retaliation if civilians are hit

Iran’s central military command has warned it will launch “much more devastating” retaliation if its adversaries carry out further strikes on civilian targets or infrastructure. The warning comes amid spiralling tensions with the United States and Israel over attacks on Iranian territory and regional interests. In a statement carried by state media, commanders said that any repeat attacks on civilian sites would trigger broader and more destructive waves of offensive and retaliatory operations. They accused Washington and Tel Aviv of already resorting to hitting non‑military facilities in an effort to compensate for battlefield “failures”. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its recent “True Promise” operations had targeted enemy assets in countries hosting US and Israeli forces, including sites in the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait. It warned that if civilian facilities continue to be attacked, the next phase of strikes would […]

Iran boosts Kharg Island oil exports despite ongoing war

Iran’s oil exports from Kharg Island have increased despite the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian officials and local media. Kharg is Iran’s main export terminal and handles the vast majority of the country’s crude shipments. Moussa Ahmadi, head of the Iranian parliament’s energy commission, said that inspections and meetings on the island showed that oil exports have not decreased in recent days but have actually gone up. His comments were carried by Iran’s ISNA news agency. Kharg Island normally handles around 90 to 95 percent of Iran’s crude exports, estimated at about 1.7 to 2 million barrels per day before the latest escalation. Despite air strikes on military targets there, US officials have said they deliberately avoided hitting oil loading infrastructure, allowing exports to continue. Maritime data firms report that crude loading at Kharg […]

US Israeli strike near Iran nuclear plant kills guard

Iran says a joint US Israeli strike has hit an area close to the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the country’s southwest, killing one person. According to the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, the victim was a security guard stationed at the site. The attack reportedly struck a support or side building in the vicinity of the plant rather than the main nuclear facilities themselves. Iranian officials said there was no damage to the reactor or core infrastructure and that electricity production at the Bushehr plant has not been affected. State media reported that the strike occurred at about 8:30 am local time on Saturday, amid continuing US Israeli air operations against Iranian targets across the country. The Bushehr incident is the latest in a series of attacks that have also hit military bases, industrial sites and other strategic locations […]

French outrage over Trump’s Macron wife remark

There is growing anger in France after President Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron by saying Macron is treated extremely badly by his wife, Brigitte. The comment was made during a private lunch and was captured in a short video that briefly appeared on official channels before being deleted. In the clip, Trump is heard saying that he called up France, Macron whose wife treats him extremely badly, adding that Macron is still recovering from the right to the jaw, a reference to a past video where Brigitte appeared to push Macron’s face on a plane. Trump copied a French accent while making the joke, which many in France saw as disrespectful and mocking. French politicians from both the ruling camp and the opposition have condemned the remarks as inappropriate and insulting to the French president and his wife. […]

‘No Negotiations’ – Iran Says It Has Not Responded To US Plan

Iran has denied that it is holding negotiations with the United States over a plan to end the ongoing war, insisting that Tehran has not yet replied to a reported US peace proposal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a televised interview that while Iran receives messages from Washington directly and through regional intermediaries, these do not amount to talks. US officials have circulated a 15 point plan, passed to Tehran by Pakistan and other intermediaries, setting out proposals to halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Some media outlets had reported that Iran responded with its own counterproposal, but Araghchi dismissed these accounts as mere guesses and said no formal answer has been sent. He stressed that there are currently no grounds for negotiations with Washington, declaring that Iran does not intend to negotiate and will continue its […]
