Trump Tightens Syria Embrace LIFTS All Sanctions | ‘New Syria’ under Ex-Al Qaeda Operative Al-Sharaa

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure.

Iran Says 935 Killed In IDF’s Airstrikes |Israeli Claims Considered ‘False’ After Iran’s Death Toll?

Iran’s judiciary has reported that 935 people were killed during the 12-day Israeli aerial bombardment, according to forensics data cited by state media. Among the dead are 132 women and 38 children, indicating the significant civilian toll. The Israeli military has stated it targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and facilities, including suspected nuclear development sites. While Israel claims its strikes were strategic and defense-oriented, Iranian officials have condemned them as indiscriminate and brutal, escalating tensions in an already fragile region. The death toll adds weight to calls for international accountability and raises questions about the conduct of war and proportionality in military engagements. The 12-day conflict marked one of the most intense escalations between the two nations, with ripple effects across the Middle East. As both countries navigate the aftermath, Iran is pushing for diplomatic and legal responses while also reinforcing its defense capabilities. #Iran #Israel #MiddleEastConflict #Airstrikes #CivilianCasualties #IranIsraelWar #BreakingNews #IranJudiciary #AsgharJahangir #MilitaryTension #NuclearStrike #IsraelAirForce #ProIranCoverage #UNResponse #HumanRights #WarCrimes #MiddleEastNews #WomenAndChildrenKilled #TelAviv #IranianDefense Also Read Mumbai Reports First Death Due To Guillain-BarrĂ© Syndrome (GBS), Toll Raises To 8 :: https://www.oneindia.com/mumbai/mumbai-reports-first-death-due-to-guillain-barr-syndrome-gbs-toll-raises-to-8-4068983.html?ref=DMDesc Maharashtra Ordnance Factory Blast: Death Toll Rises To 8; Rajnath Singh, Gadkari Express Condolence :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/maharashtra-ordnance-factory-blast-death-toll-rises-to-8-rajnath-singh-gadkari-express-condolence-4051689.html?ref=DMDesc Jalgaon Train Accident: Revised Death Toll Reaches 12, Seven Victims Identified as Nepalese :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jalgaon-train-accident-toll-revised-to-12-seven-nepalese-victims-011-4051165.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Iran Slams EU’s ‘Hypocritical’ Nuclear Demands , Rejects Talks - 'West Enabling Israel’s War Crimes'

Iran has firmly rejected the European Union’s renewed call for nuclear talks, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slamming the West’s stance as “hypocritical” and “legally baseless.” Araghchi accused EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas of disregarding international law and supporting Israeli aggression in the region. Citing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UNSC Resolution 2231, Tehran insists it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Araghchi further declared the EU and UK irrelevant in future negotiations and warned that Western pressure will only deepen mistrust. As tensions rise and the JCPOA framework continues to unravel, is the door to diplomacy closing for good? #IranNuclearDeal #JCPOA #AbbasAraghchi #EUForeignPolicy #KajaKallas #IranNews #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelIran #USIranTensions #NuclearRights #UNSC2231 #NonProliferation #Geopolitics #WorldNews #NoDealNoDialogue ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.346~
