Russia has revealed that Washington has âpostponedâ a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.âRussia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washingtonâs intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The âirritant removalâ dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

In a dramatic escalation of Turkeyâs political crackdown, three more opposition mayors â Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya â have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamogluâs imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdoganâs government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHPâs presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkeyâs largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues.

Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself âChildren of Fireâ claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign.
The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town ĂeĆme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues.

Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an âopen and free security architectureâ for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific.

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iranâs expanding missile capabilities.

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russiaâs role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russiaâs involvement as âalways welcome,â underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game â balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

Following the Arab League Summit in Baghdad, Hamas fiercely criticized Arab leaders for failing to take meaningful action as Israelâs assault on Gaza intensified.

Citing massacres in northern Gaza that coincided with the summit, Hamas stressed the need for urgent global solidarity. Other resistance factions echoed similar sentiments, condemning Arab regimes for hollow statements and complicity in genocide. The factions emphasized that real intervention, not symbolism, is urgently needed to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vesselsâincluding the Magic Seasâand signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes.
With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond.
