As Iran escalates attacks on Gulf energy sites, Putin signals full backing for the country’s new leader.

The Iranian president says his country will not surrender to Israel and the United States as the Middle East conflict enters its second week.

An Iranian oil tanker was struck, coinciding with President Masoud Pezeshkian assuming the role of interim leader—further raising tensions in the region.

Facing its most serious domestic unrest in years, Tehran is pairing modest financial relief with rare conciliatory rhetoric.

Tehran has also criminalized unlicensed internet access and unauthorized protests during wartime.
Pezeshkian said his country is ready to “resolve issues” with the U.S.
The French President said Paris will “accelerate the negotiations led by France and its European partners with Iran.”
President Donald Trump said he was open to continuing talks with Iran and reaching a mutually beneficial deal.
