Iran open to nuclear compromises if US agrees to discuss sanctions

Iran has signalled it is ready to consider compromises on its nuclear programme if the United States is willing to discuss lifting economic sanctions. Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi made the comments in an interview with the BBC, saying “the ball is in America’s court” to show it wants a deal.​ Tehran has long said it is prepared to accept limits on its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief, but it refuses to tie nuclear talks to other issues such as its missile programme. Takht Ravanchi stressed that any agreement must include sanctions on the negotiating table, given their impact on Iran’s struggling economy. A second round of indirect talks between Iran and the US is expected in Geneva on Tuesday, following earlier contacts in Oman. Takht Ravanchi described the first round as “somewhat positive” but said it […]

Iraq PM hopeful Maliki slams Trump over ‘blatant’ interference

Iraqi prime ministerial candidate Nouri al Maliki has condemned what he called blatant interference by United States President Donald Trump in Iraq’s internal politics. Maliki spoke after Trump warned that Washington would end all support to Iraq if he emerged as prime minister. Maliki, a former two term prime minister, said in a post on X that Iraq firmly rejects American meddling in its affairs. He described Trump’s comments as a violation of Iraq’s democratic system, which has been in place since the 2003 US led invasion that removed Saddam Hussein. The 75 year old politician fell out with Washington during his earlier time in office between 2006 and 2014 over his close ties to Iran and accusations of pursuing a sectarian agenda. Despite this, he has remained a powerful figure and kingmaker whose backing is seen as crucial to […]

Cubans fear deeper crisis as Venezuela oil lifeline is choked off

Cubans are bracing for even tougher times after the United States seized two more Venezuela linked oil tankers, threatening to cut a key source of fuel to the island.​The seizures come just days after US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising the risk that Venezuelan crude supplies to Cuba could shrink further or stop.​ In the port city of Matanzas, shuttered filling stations and long queues for petrol already reflect worsening shortages.​Residents fear longer and more frequent power cuts, saying the loss of Venezuelan oil will deepen an economic crisis marked by high inflation, blackouts and shortages of basic goods.​ Venezuela had recently supplied about 27000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba, covering roughly half of the country’s fuel deficit.​Mexico and Russia have become important secondary suppliers, but Mexico’s president says her country has not increased shipments, limiting […]

Trump move in Venezuela unsettles China’s strategy

Donald Trump’s sudden move against Venezuela has sent shockwaves far beyond Caracas, sharply disrupting a relationship that China had patiently built over decades. Just hours before his arrest in a surprise nighttime operation, Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro had publicly praised Chinese leader Xi Jinping, calling him “an older brother” and lauding his global leadership. Chinese state media highlighted the meeting, showcasing the depth of ties between Beijing and Caracas, built around hundreds of cooperation agreements. That carefully crafted image was quickly eclipsed by footage of Maduro in US custody, escorted aboard an American warship. China reacted swiftly, joining several countries in condemning Washington’s action. Beijing accused the US of behaving like a “world judge” and insisted that national sovereignty must be respected under international law. Beyond the official statements, however, Chinese leaders are now reassessing their strategy in Latin America […]

Trump warns Iran over protest deaths as unrest spreads

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that the United States is “locked and loaded” and ready to intervene if Iranian security forces violently kill protesters during the latest wave of anti government demonstrations.​In a statement and social media posts, he said Washington would “come to the rescue” of peaceful protesters if Iran follows what he called its “custom” of shooting people to crush dissent.​ The warning comes as nationwide protests in Iran entered their fifth day, with at least several people reported killed and dozens injured in clashes with security forces over deepening economic hardship and political grievances.​Demonstrations, initially sparked by soaring inflation, the collapse of the rial and rising living costs, have spread to new cities including the religious centre of Qom, where crowds have openly called for an end to the ruling theocracy.​ Trump’s comments raise the pressure […]

Venezuela slams Trump’s ‘total blockade’ threat

Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s order for a “total and complete” blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers heading to the country, calling it a “warmongering” threat and a grave danger to peace in South America. The move is part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government.​ The escalation follows the recent seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast and a significant build-up of US military forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other crimes and vowed to expand the military presence until Caracas hands over oil, land and other assets he claims were “stolen” from the United States.​ Trump wrote that Venezuela is “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America” and […]

Putin offers India uninterrupted fuel despite US pressure

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered India “uninterrupted” supplies of fuel, promising to keep crude oil and other energy shipments flowing despite mounting pressure from the United States over New Delhi’s trade with Moscow.​ Putin made the pledge during a summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, describing Russia as a reliable supplier of oil, gas and coal for India’s fast growing economy and stressing that Moscow is ready to continue steady deliveries.​ The offer comes as President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed steep tariffs on many Indian exports and targeted major Russian energy firms with sanctions, arguing that India’s purchases of discounted Russian oil help fund the war in Ukraine.​ India, now one of the world’s largest buyers of Russian crude, has slightly reduced its imports in recent months under US pressure but continues to defend […]

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]

Syria’s Jihadist-Turned-President Caps Historic Transformation with White House Visit

Less than a year after a lightning rise to power, Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa visits the White House, marking a dramatic shift from his past as a jihadist fighter to international statesman. The visit, the first by a Syrian head of state, comes as al-Sharaa aims to reshape Syria’s foreign relations and end diplomatic isolation imposed during the Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, formerly an Islamist insurgent who battled US forces in Iraq, later toppled the decades-long regime of Bashar al-Assad through a surprise offensive. He now advocates for lifting US sanctions and seeks American support to push Israel to halt attacks and withdraw from southern Syria. Despite some sanctions lifted after a Saudi-brokered Trump-Al-Sharaa meeting in May, the toughest US measures require congressional sign-off. The young leader is balancing ties between Moscow and Western states, conscious of Russia’s military influence and […]
