The Iran–Australia diplomatic feud has deepened after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi mocked Australian PM Anthony Albanese, saying even Netanyahu was “right about one thing—that Australia’s PM is a weak politician.” Araghchi rejected Canberra’s accusations that Tehran sponsored anti-Jewish attacks, stressing Iran protects one of the world’s oldest Jewish communities. He accused Albanese of appeasing Israel after Australia expelled Iran’s envoy over synagogue and café attacks. Tehran vowed retaliation, escalating tensions in a rapidly worsening diplomatic showdown.

Iran has issued a stunning ultimatum to the U.S., demanding compensation for damages from the recent U.S.-Israel strikes before resuming nuclear talks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Trump’s 2018 JCPOA withdrawal for eroding trust and slammed Washington for using diplomacy as a cover for aggression. Iran insists on real guarantees, rejects U.S. calls for zero enrichment, and warns that rising anti-negotiation sentiment in Tehran could end talks permanently unless America changes course with serious confidence-building measures.

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a “national pride,” rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attack’s success, warning more strikes “if necessary.” Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a fiery rebuke against the U.S. and EU, accusing Washington of warmongering and using diplomacy as a facade for conflict. He slammed the EU’s pressure tactics, warning of dire consequences if snapback sanctions are imposed. Araghchi reminded that it was the U.S. that abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and insists any new negotiations must include guarantees against future strikes, accountability for recent conflicts, and fairness-especially regarding Israel’s nuclear arsenal and regional stability.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in a striking NBC interview, claimed Moscow has no interest in seizing Ukrainian land, stressing Russia already holds the world’s largest territory. He branded Kyiv’s government a “Nazi regime” and argued Ukraine must allow regions that voted to join Russia in 2014 and 2022 to “let people go.” Lavrov framed Moscow’s war aims as protecting ethnic Russians and eliminating security threats, even as Ukraine marked Independence Day with Western allies vowing continued support against Russian aggression.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links.
Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1.
Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps.
