🌱 Expert Links Europe Wildfires to Climate and Policy Gaps

🌍 US President Describes 'Good Talks' With Tehran

Speaking on Monday, President Trump said the United States was having good talks with Iran. He mentioned a chance of reaching a deal over the ongoing conflict.

🌍 Analyst Questions Linking Saudi Nuclear Deal to Israel

An opinion piece in Middle East Eye examined US policy toward Saudi Arabia. The writer argued against tying a civilian nuclear agreement to Saudi normalisation with Israel. He said Riyadh has stated for over two decades that normalisation must follow a credible path to Palestinian statehood. According to the author, combining these goals could reduce American influence in the region. He suggested it may speed up a more multipolar Middle East.

🌍 Poll Finds Just One in Three Americans Back Iran War

A Reuters and Ipsos poll found that only about one in three Americans support the war on Iran. This is the lowest reading since the conflict began five months ago. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said the president had not clearly explained the goals of US involvement. Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating rose three points to thirty-seven percent. Analysts noted support is far lower than during earlier conflicts.

🌍 Kashmir Region Election Marked by Scuffles and Disputes

The first phase of elections in Azad Jammu and Kashmir concluded on Monday in the Mirpur division. Voting took place across thirteen constituencies.

Officials said security forces were deployed and that legal action would follow any disruption.

💰 Pakistan Signals Possible Fuel Price Relief

Pakistan's Petroleum Minister Ali Pervez Malik hinted at lower petrol and diesel prices. He said the country's oil cargoes stuck at the Bab-al-Mandeb chokepoint had passed through safely.

He added that a transparent pricing formula based on weekly averages could soon bring relief.

⚔️ Three-Day Pause Continues in US-Iran Fighting

A three-day pause in fighting between the United States and Iran remained in place. President Trump repeated that there was a good chance of progress in talks.

⚔️ Iraq Opens Probe Into Saudi Drone Attack Claim

🌍 Four Men Reported as Pakistanis Killed in South Africa

Four men, reported to be Pakistani nationals, were shot dead in South Africa. Police said the incident took place in Kempton Park, near Johannesburg, on Saturday evening.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke against violence directed at foreign nationals.

Iran strongly criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday. The reaction came after Kyiv said it had struck vessels linked to Iran in the Caspian Sea.

⚔️ Ukraine Confirms Strike on Iran-Linked Vessels
