Analysis. Hormuz control, enrichment likely Iran’s red lines before talks: Analyst Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, told Al Jazeera that Iran is likely to insist on several red lines in upcoming talks with the US. Vaez said the Strait of Hormuz would be one of the most difficult issues to resolve, stressing that it goes beyond sovereignty concerns. “They are so cynical of the prospect of receiving sanctions relief from the Trump administration… They need resources for reconstruction, they need a source of revenue,” he said. He added that control of the strait would be viewed as a “lifeline”. Vaez said the right to nuclear enrichment would be another red line. “Even if they might be willing to postpone the exercise of that right, they definitely will insist on its recognition by the United States,” he added. |

Breaking! Netanyahu expels Spain from Gaza ceasefire coordination hub Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he has expelled Spain from a Civil Military Coordination Centre set up in the country as part of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan that formed the basis for the ceasefire in Gaza. This comes amid Spain’s withering criticism of Israel’s war on Iran, its policies in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and its deadly bombing campaign and invasion in Lebanon. “Israel will not remain silent in the face of those who attack us. Spain has defamed our heroes, the soldiers of the IDF, the soldiers of the most moral army in the world,” Netanyahu said. “Therefore, I have instructed today to remove Spain’s representatives from the coordination center in Kiryat Gat, after Spain has chosen repeatedly to stand against Israel. “I am not willing to tolerate this hypocrisy and hostility. I do not intend to allow any country to wage a diplomatic war against us without paying an immediate price.” 1 Like |

Tehran full of ‘sadness and pain’ Iranians have welcomed a fragile ceasefire deal following weeks of Israeli and American bombardment, but many fear the war is far from over. “Everyone I’ve spoken with, it’s given them a new life,” a university student told AP news agency in an audio note via WhatsApp, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Everyone is really happy,” he said. But “Tehran has seen a lot of damage,” he added, and there’s widespread concern that fighting will resume. Maryam Saeedpoor, a photographer living in downtown Tehran, said she tried to take up painting to keep busy as bomb blasts echoed across the city, “but then I saw my hand was shaking, and I can’t”. She said she fears the strikes have already done lasting damage to industries and infrastructure that helped the country weather decades of international sanctions. “Tehran is the warmest, the most beautiful city in the world in my opinion, but now its face is full of sadness, pain,” Saeedpoor said on WhatsApp. “They say they wanted to take out government leaders, but so many innocent people have been killed.” 1 Like |
