Iran has fiercely rebuked former U.S. President Donald Trump after he labeled Iran the “most destructive force” in the Middle East during a speech in Riyadh.
Iranian officials, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, slammed Trump’s remarks as hypocritical and deceptive—accusing the U.S. of enabling Israeli aggression in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon while unjustly targeting Iran.
Tehran defended its regional role, framing itself as part of the "Resistance Axis" against oppression, and blamed decades of U.S. sanctions and military pressure for Iran’s economic struggles.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, despite proposing them himself. The Kremlin has instead assigned presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky to lead the delegation. President Trump is also skipping the summit, lowering hopes for any major breakthrough. While Ukraine’s Zelenskyy had demanded Putin’s presence, he is reportedly en route to Turkey. The US has sent Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other key envoys. A ceasefire proposal and prisoner exchange remain on the table amid the absence of top leaders from the historic talks.

In a dramatic diplomatic shift, the US is reportedly blocking Ukrainian President Zelensky from attending next month’s NATO summit in The Hague. Media reports suggest Ukraine’s membership bid is off the agenda to avoid friction with President Trump, who has ruled out NATO accession for Kiev. While Ukraine may attend minor sessions, it will be sidelined from top-level talks. Meanwhile, only a few non-member nations like Japan and Australia are invited. NATO’s message is clear — Ukraine may be an ally, but not a member, at least not any time soon.

During Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) rolled out a one-of-a-kind McDonald's food truck—just for him! Was this a brilliant display of diplomacy through fast food, or a cheeky nod to Trump’s famous diet? And did Trump accept this gesture, or pull another “coffee refusal” like during his previous visits?
Watch as we break down this viral moment and what it says about U.S.–Saudi relations, Trump’s personal quirks, and the fast-food diplomacy we didn’t see coming.

Tehran and European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal—Germany, the UK, and France—will meet in Istanbul on May 16 to discuss the Iran nuclear file and U.S.-Iran indirect talks. This marks the fourth round of consultations since 2024, after a delayed April meeting in Rome. The talks come after a round of Oman-mediated U.S.-Iran negotiations, with both sides reporting progress. With the deal’s snapback sanctions clause set to expire in October, European officials are considering invoking it—raising the stakes in what could be a turning point for the nuclear agreement.

In a fiery address from the stage in Riyadh — with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seated beside him — U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Iran. Calling Iran "the most destructive force" in the Middle East, Trump warned Tehran to choose between diplomacy and devastation. In a moment loaded with symbolism and power politics, Trump made it clear: the U.S. will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran. This explosive moment marked a turning point in U.S.-Middle East relations and sent shockwaves through the global geopolitical landscape.

Iran has strongly condemned the latest round of U.S. sanctions, calling them “destructive and undermining” to the fragile nuclear dialogue. Tehran accused Washington of adopting a contradictory approach—speaking of diplomacy while simultaneously escalating pressure. The new sanctions target Iranian individuals and entities accused of involvement in dual-use nuclear weapons research. Iranian officials warn the move jeopardizes trust-building and raises doubts about America's sincerity in ongoing indirect nuclear negotiations.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to visit India and Pakistan this week amid soaring border tensions following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that killed at least 26. With India accusing Pakistan of backing the attackers—a charge Islamabad denies—Iran has stepped in to calm tensions and push for regional stability. Araghchi will hold high-level talks in both capitals as Tehran seeks to mediate between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Iran's president has urged unity in the fight against terrorism and called for restraint on all sides.

In a major move to bolster its defense capabilities, Qatar has secured a massive $1.96 billion arms deal with the United States, marking one of the most significant drone and weapons packages in the region's recent history.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery. The Syrian foreign ministry hailed the meeting as "historic," though the normalization with Israel was not addressed. Crowds in Damascus celebrated the U.S. decision, though the future remains uncertain.
