Iranâs foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has ruled out hasty or âillâconsideredâ diplomacy with the US unless explicit guarantees are made. Speaking to diplomats in Tehran, he condemned last monthâs US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as a betrayal of diplomacy, demanding assurances that aggression will not repeat if talks resume. Araghchi emphasized Tehranâs focus on securing national interests and accountability from Washington. He warned European nations that invoking the UN âsnapâbackâ sanctions would be as damaging as military action and could end their role in nuclear diplomacy. Iran insists its victorious counterâstrikes, including its missile attack on alâUdeid base in Qatar, underscore that it faces no fear in negotiating. But Araghchi cautions that without trust and concrete protections, Iran remains unwilling to rejoin indirect talks with the US.

Iranâs Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelâs âwar of aggressionâ against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called âatrocity crimesâ and âunprovoked armed attacksâ by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterâs Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyâs position as both âillegalâ and âcriminal,â Baqaei said Berlinâs support amounts to âcomplicity in aggressionâ and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iranâs legal framing of Germanyâs conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Koreaâs nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan. Lavrov warned the U.S., South Korea, and Japan against forming a security pact aimed at Pyongyang. North Korea, in turn, reaffirmed its "unconditional" support for Russiaâs war in Ukraine, calling the alliance "invincible." The deepening cooperation marks a major geopolitical shift, heightening tensions in Northeast Asia and threatening the regional balance of power as the two nations ramp up military and strategic coordination.

A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a stadium in Russiaâs Belgorod region, as seen in a viral video shared by Russian Telegram channels.

While Russian authorities have yet to confirm, first responders were spotted at the scene. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy continues to push for more weapons, stating the only way to stop attacks is by targeting the source of drone supplies fueling Russiaâs aggression.
