Iran has informed mediators of a proposed three-phase framework for negotiations and says talks could resume if the United States agrees to the plan, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Tehran reported.
The proposal, as described by our correspondent, outlines an initial phase focused on ending US-Israeli aggression and securing guarantees that fighting will not resume against Iran and Lebanon. During this stage, Iran would not discuss any other issues, the report said.
The plan envisions coordination with Oman
If agreement is reached on the first phase, discussions would move to a second stage centered on the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The plan reportedly envisions coordination with Oman to establish a new legal framework governing the strategic waterway.
The third phase would address Iran’s nuclear program, which Tehran would only be prepared to discuss after agreements are reached on the first two phases, according to the report.
This is happening as Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has departed for Moscow, leading a diplomatic delegation.
Iranian ambassador in Moscow, Kazem Jalal, said earlier that Araghchi is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Moscow, where he will hold consultations on the latest developments regarding negotiations and the ceasefire.

Israeli occupation forces invaded a local election polling center in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, assaulting residents and injuring six Palestinians during an attack on Khallet Al‑Mayya area, east of Yatta in Hebron in the southern West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medical teams in Hebron treated six Palestinians who were beaten by Israeli soldiers after the army invaded the polling center designated for local council elections in Khallet Al‑Mayya. Medics provided all six with field treatment at the scene.
Media sources reported that Israeli forces invaded the village and fired stun grenades and toxic tear gas at residents, causing additional cases of suffocation from inhaling the gas. All those affected were treated on site. The sources added that soldiers also smashed several civilian vehicles during the invasion.
Khallet Al‑Mayya is part of a cluster of villages east of Yatta that includes six population centers: Khallet Al‑Mayya, Al‑Deirat, Erfa’eyya, Umm Lasfa, Al‑Boweib, and Umm Ash‑Shaqhan.

A series of new Israeli military attacks have killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the regime continues its relentless ceasefire violations across the besieged Palestinian territory.
In the first incident, an Israeli airstrike killed one person near the central village of al-Mughraqa on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Israeli gunfire and tank shelling killed two others near Gaza City.
In a separate attack, Israeli forces shot and killed a 40-year-old woman in Khan Yunis in the southern part of the territory.
Violence in Gaza has persisted despite the October 2025 ceasefire, with Israel carrying out almost daily attacks on Palestinians. … Full article

Wounded Lebanese journalist Zeinab Faraj has described the Israeli strike that killed her colleague Amal Khalil, prompting Beirut to accuse West Jerusalem of war crimes.
In an interview filmed from her hospital bed, Faraj broke down in tears as she recounted the ordeal and her final moments with Khalil. […]
Khalil is the ninth journalist killed by Israel in Lebanon since US-Israeli strikes on Iran reignited the conflict, according to Lebanese authorities. Previously, a March 28 IDF strike on a marked press car killed Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib, whom Israel claimed was a Hezbollah operative without evidence. RT correspondent Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida Sbeity were also targeted on March 19, but survived with minor injuries. – Video interview
The Cradle – April 26, 2026
The Israeli army has escalated its violent and indiscriminate attacks on south Lebanon on 26 April, hours after Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to strike Hezbollah with “force.”
Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks hit several areas, including Deir Antar, Zawtar al-Sharqiya, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa in the south, on Sunday afternoon.
An Israeli strike also hit Burj Qalawiya, killing one person and injuring three others. Earlier, a café near the Kfar Tebnit roundabout was bombed.
At least ten injured people were transferred to hospitals for treatment after the attack on Kfar Tebnit.
The Israeli military’s Arabic spokesman released a new threat earlier on Sunday, ordering the forced displacement of 7 additional villages in southern Lebanon: Mayfadoun, Shoukin, Yohmor, Arnoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Zawtar al-Gharbiyah, and Kfar Tebnit.
“In light of the terrorist Hezbollah party violating the ceasefire agreement, the [army] is compelled to act against it forcefully. The [army] does not intend to harm you. Therefore, out of concern for your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and stay at a distance of no less than 1000 meters outside the specified area. Anyone present near Hezbollah elements, their facilities, or their combat means is endangering their life,” he claimed.
The statement coincided with Israel’s continued systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure in Taybeh and Bint Jbeil.
Hezbollah has been responding to the violations with operations targeting occupation forces in the south, as well as rocket and drone launches toward settlements near the border. … Full article

Israeli occupation forces have carried out incursions into several villages in the countryside of Syria’s southwestern provinces of Dara’a and Quneitra, where they conducted searches and set up temporary checkpoints.
The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that an Israeli convoy consisting of around ten military vehicles raided the village of Jamla in the Yarmouk Basin area west of Dara’a province early on Sunday morning.
The force withdrew after a short period and positioned itself on the road linking Jamla to the nearby Saisoun village.
This came hours after an Israeli convoy made up of two tanks and two military vehicles entered the eastern Tal al-Ahmar hill in southern Quneitra and took up positions inside prefabricated rooms it had brought to the site on Friday. … continue

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it has discovered 15 undetonated US missiles in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan and thousands of bomblets in the northern province of Zanjan, less than a month after a US-Israeli aggression on Iran halted with a ceasefire.
The IRGC’s Imam Sajjad Corps, based in the provincial capital of Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan, said in a Sunday statement that its bomb disposal teams had successfully neutralized more than 15 heavy American missiles in the province.
The statement said the missiles were mostly of the GBU and BLU types and other advanced models, adding that the weapons had been transferred to technical and research units of the IRGC for reverse engineering.
It said the Imam Sajjad Corps had neutralized or destroyed more than 60 missiles and drones, including bunker busters, cruise missiles, and advanced drones, since the beginning of the US-Israeli aggression in late February. … continue

… Following the war against Russia, Italy is becoming increasingly involved in the conflict against Iran.
US drones and aircraft are stationed at the Sigonella base in Sicily, from where they carry out missions in the Middle East to identify targets in Iran and guide US missile and bomber strikes. For the war against Iran, US forces are also using other bases in Italy, such as Aviano and Camp Darby. The Italian government has now decided to send two military ships to the Strait of Hormuz, even without a UN mandate, officially for mine clearance. As these ships would be in a war zone, including within Iranian territorial waters, should they be threatened with attack or attacked by Iranian forces, they would be flanked by Italian Navy strike units, officially “for protective purposes”.
Italy would thus effectively enter the war alongside the United States. … Read full article

A large fire broke out at a Royal Air Force (RAF) base in west England on Sunday morning. In recent months, it was used by the US to launch operations against Iran, and was recently the target of anti-war protests.
According to the Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service, crews were called to RAF Fairford shortly after midnight on Sunday.
“The fire involved a single-story industrial storage building. It was brought under control safely and there were no casualties,” the service said in a statement.
Videos circulating on social media show a large blaze above warehouse buildings visible from the street, with an enormous plume of smoke rising up into the night sky.
RAF Fairford houses USAF B52 and B1 bombers, and serves as a key European operations center for Washington. Hundreds of anti-war protesters rallied outside the base on Saturday, demanding that the UK shut down military facilities used in the war on Iran. … continue
An Essay on Asthma, Agnotology, and the Cause That Is Not Unknown
Lies are Unbekoming | April 24, 2026
The Admission
The World Health Organization’s current asthma fact sheet states that “many factors have been linked to an increased risk of developing asthma, although it is often difficult to find a single, direct cause.”¹ The United States National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute puts it more plainly: “The exact causes for developing asthma are unknown and may be different from person to person… Because the exact cause is unknown, you may not be able to prevent asthma in yourself or your children.”² The United Kingdom’s National Health Service agrees: “The exact cause of asthma is unknown.”³ The Mayo Clinic concurs for childhood asthma specifically: “causes aren’t fully understood.”⁴ The Cleveland Clinic is briefer: “Experts aren’t sure what causes asthma.”⁵
In 2018, a twenty-three-author Commission published in The Lancet proposed something more radical. After reviewing the state of the field, the authors concluded that the word “asthma” should be retired. It was, they argued, “a label for a heterogeneous mix of pathologically distinct processes poorly represented by our current physiological and symptom-based classification system.” They noted that progress in reducing asthma admissions and mortality had stalled in the prior decade.⁶ The Commission’s lead author, Ian Pavord, is among the most cited respiratory physicians in the world. His position, after a career studying the condition, was that the condition does not exist as a coherent diagnostic entity.
The Global Asthma Report places worldwide prevalence at approximately 262 million people.⁷ Every one of them has been given a diagnosis whose name the field’s senior authorities propose to abandon, for a condition whose cause the field’s public-facing institutions declare beyond their capacity to identify. … continue

… The Academy of American Pediatrics offers a sample letter that people can send to their friends and family, letting them know they aren’t welcome to visit a new baby until they get vaccinated. The letter says:
“The best way to support us is getting up to date with vaccines before your visit. No big deal if you are not up to date now! You can always get the whooping cough (Tdap) and the flu vaccines at your doctor’s office. Pharmacies also offer vaccinations. Make sure you complete the Tdap shots at least 2 weeks before visiting.”
‘Pertussis vaccine makes you more likely to transmit the infection to others’
Dr. Paul Thomas, a pediatrician, told The Defender that research shows cocooning, particularly for whooping cough, may actually put infants at greater risk. “This practice should be abandoned,” he said.
Thomas explained that the acellular pertussis vaccine doesn’t prevent infection; it only suppresses symptoms. A vaccinated person can still catch and silently spread whooping cough — without knowing it.
Research suggests this asymptomatic transmission may actually be the main driver of the ongoing whooping cough resurgence. So requiring Tdap for visitors may not reduce risk to the baby, and could theoretically increase it.
In his book “Vax Facts: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life,” Thomas wrote:
“Since pertussis is most dangerous in the first year of life, that [cocooning] seemed like a great approach. The problem is that numerous studies have now shown that the current vaccine does not prevent infection, and it does not prevent transmitting the infection to your baby or to others. In fact, it looks like getting the pertussis vaccine makes you more likely to transmit the infection to others.”
Thomas said that the “new” acellular pertussis vaccines have been around for decades — they were introduced in the U.S. in the 1990s. Since then, and in response to vaccination, he said Bordetella pertussis strains have evolved to lack a protein called pertactin, which is one of the targets of the vaccine.
“The vaccines are no longer very protective, which explains why we are seeing more pertussis than ever,” Thomas wrote. “This is not an issue of the unvaccinated but rather of vaccine failure.” … Full article

Eurail wanted people’s passport number to let them ride a train. Now that data is for sale on the dark web, and some of the 308,777 people caught up in the breach are being told to cancel their passports and pay for replacements out of their own pocket.
The Dutch company, which sells the Interrail passes used by young travelers across 33 European countries, confirmed this week that a sample of the stolen dataset has already surfaced on Telegram.
“We can confirm that data copied during the security incident has been offered for sale on the dark web and a sample dataset has been published on Telegram,” a spokesperson said. “Customers whose personal data was included in the sample dataset are being informed directly where contact details are available to us.”
The full haul contains exactly the material identity thieves dream about, including passport numbers, passport expiry dates, full names, home addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth. For users of the EU’s DiscoverEU program, which hands out free travel passes to young people, the exposed records also include photocopies of passports, bank account details, and some health data.

Holding municipal elections in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip is an “important step,” a Hamas spokesman told Anadolu on Saturday.
Hazem Qassem’s remarks came as voting for local elections in the occupied West Bank and Deir al-Balah began earlier in the day.
“Holding elections in the city of Deir al-Balah is an important step, and we hope that appropriate conditions will be provided to hold them in all governorates and municipalities of the Gaza Strip,” Qassem said.
“We also hope that conditions will be created to hold comprehensive elections,” he said, calling for “reorganizing the Palestinian house and holding legislative and presidential elections.”
Saturday’s voting marks the first time in 22 years that municipal elections are taking place in Deir al-Balah, relatively one of the least damaged cities in the enclave during Israel’s two years of genocidal war.
Qassem appreciated the efforts of authorities in Gaza to complete the electoral process, saying: “Our instructions were clear on the need to ensure the success of this process, and that it takes place under suitable conditions so that the Palestinian citizens can express their opinion through the ballot box.”
Palestinian factions, including Hamas, held meetings with various parties “to ensure a suitable political and field environment,” he added.
Regarding the situation on the ground, Qassem said Israel “committed a major massacre against the people of the Gaza Strip in continuation of the war of extermination,” arguing that this is “evidence that the war has not stopped.” … Full article

One Palestinian American researcher warned that Israel is seeking “annexation without legal burden.”
Israel’s gradual advancement of its “yellow line” to occupy more territory in the Gaza Strip is fueling concerns that it is seeking to effectively annex and colonize the majority of the territory without any formal agreement.
The Guardian reported on Wednesday that Israel has been steadily pushing the truce line to take control of more Palestinian territory in the six months since a “ceasefire” was reached in October.
The yellow line drawn on the ceasefire maps had Israeli troops in control of about 53% of Gaza’s territory, cramming nearly 2 million displaced Palestinians into a territory less than half the size of the one they inhabited before.
But an analysis by Forensic Architecture shows Israel has unilaterally shifted the line westward over the past six months to the point where it controlled about 58% of the strip by December in an occupation zone that continues to grow.
Palestinians living in Gaza reportedly woke up to learn that large yellow concrete blocks denoting the ceasefire line had suddenly moved and that they were now living in a free-fire area, where the Israeli military considers any Palestinian person or vehicle a legitimate target.
The Associated Press found in January that at least 77 Palestinians have been shot on sight when they’ve found themselves on the wrong side of the yellow line or even just near it, even though the line’s boundaries are ill-defined and fluid. … continue

Six Lebanese citizens were martyred on Saturday as the Israeli enemy steps up attacks on southern Lebanon, in violation of the ceasefire that took effect earlier this month.
Al-Manar’s correspondent in southern Lebanon reported two drone strikes targeting a truck and a motorcycle in the town of Yuhmor Al-Shaqeef, near Nabatieh.
Shortly after, the Lebanese Health Ministry announced that the Israeli strikes on Yohmor Al-Shaqeef led to the martyrdom of four people.
Earlier on Saturday, an Al-Manar correspondent in Western Bekaa reported that a mother of four children, succumbed to wounds sustained by an Israeli attack on the town of Suhmor.
Meanwhile, the Israeli enemy continued its systematic campaign to destroy southern border towns, with wide-scale demolitions being carried out in the towns of Khiam, Bint Jbeil, and Naqoura on Saturday, our correspondents across southern Lebanon reported.
Our correspondents reported Israeli artillery shelling targeted the towns of Houla, Al-Qantara, Al-Tiri, and Deir Seryan. Occupation forces also torched a number of homes in the town of Taybeh.

The Israeli regime has quietly embarked on an effort to relocate production of its most important long-range strike drone – the Hermes 900- outside the occupied territories.
In Serbia, it has found its latest and most controversial partner. The strategy is simple: protect Tel Aviv’s supply chain from Iranian ballistic missiles.
On March 7, 2026, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić made a cryptic announcement. Serbia, he said, would soon open a factory for “the most serious drones in the world” with a foreign partner from the Israeli regime.
By early April, reports had uncovered the full scope of the deal. Elbit Systems – the largest military company in the occupied territories and a firm repeatedly named by UN experts as profiting from the ongoing genocide in Gaza – had agreed to establish a joint drone production facility in Šimanovci, just thirty kilometers west of Belgrade.
The factory, which could begin operations as early as late April 2026, is designed to produce two types of unmanned aerial vehicles, including a long-range model capable of flying at altitudes exceeding six kilometers.
While most media attention has focused on the emerging arms race between Serbia and Croatia, a far more consequential story has gone largely unreported.
What makes this deal particularly significant is not merely the technology transfer or the financial terms, but the strategic logic driving it.
The Israeli regime, having suffered devastating losses of its Hermes 900 fleet during the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, is desperately seeking to diversify its production base – outside the reach of Iranian retaliation. … continue

The United States will find it difficult to justify the legality of the imposed maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Subeom Choi, secretary general of the Korea Arctic Shipping Association said.
“Under traditional law governing naval blockades, key requirements include prior notification, effectiveness, impartial enforcement, and due regard for humanitarian considerations. Accordingly, the legal defensibility of a unilateral blockade of Iranian ports remains highly questionable,” Choi said.
He added that maritime blockades are typically considered part of a maritime military conflict and are imposed under the UN Charter and in accordance with UN Security Council sanctions.
“From the standpoint of international law, the action is open to serious legal dispute,” he added.
On April 13, the US Navy began blockading all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that accounts for approximately 20% of the world’s oil, petroleum products, and LNG supplies. Washington maintains that non-Iranian vessels are free to transit the strait as long as they do not pay a toll to Tehran.

The administration of US President Donald Trump on Friday imposed new sanctions on a Chinese independent oil refinery under the pretext of purchasing large volumes of Iranian oil, in a move that comes ahead of anticipated talks between Washington and Tehran.
The US Treasury Department named Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery as a key buyer of Iranian crude and petroleum products, placing it under sanctions alongside roughly 40 shipping firms and vessels alleged to be part of Iran’s so-called “shadow fleet”.
Beijing condemned the measures, describing them as unilateral and unlawful. China’s embassy in Washington warned against disrupting normal trade and called on the US to stop using sanctions as a political tool against Chinese companies. […]
Analysts note that smaller refineries remain relatively insulated due to minimal exposure to US financial channels, suggesting that sanctions on Chinese banks facilitating transactions would be more effective in limiting purchases. … Full article

The European Union announced its 20th round of economic sanctions against Russia this week. The bloc of 27 nations began imposing sanctions on Moscow when the conflict in Ukraine erupted in February 2022. Every six months, the EU has been extending these economic measures, which Brussels claims is support for Ukraine to “deter Russian aggression.”
The 20th round of sanctions unveiled this week attempts to go much further in inflicting damage on the Russian economy. It was flagged as the biggeset package yet and a “multi-layered targeting of key sectors” of the Russian economy, primarily its energy industry.
It is tempting to dismiss the EU sanctions policy as feeble and a form of insanity. The bloc keeps repeating an action expecting a different result each time, when the record shows that the action of sanctions is having little detrimental impact on Russia. If anything, it is the EU that has suffered an economic downturn as it unilaterally cut itself off from Russian oil and gas, the traditional source of affordable energy feedstock for European industries. Russia’s economy has not crashed as was anticipated when the sanctions were first imposed more than four years ago. In fact, the Russian Federation has maintained a robust economic performance as it finds alternative markets in Asia for its oil and gas products. The soaring price for a barrel of crude due to the reckless U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran has given Russia a further boost.
However, it would be a mistake to simply brush off the EU sanctions as futile and self-defeating.
There is a more blatant and sinister aspect to the new round of sanctions. … continue

Pfizer and Valneva have advanced their experimental Lyme disease vaccine, PF-07307405 (LB6V, formerly VLA15), using the same core biological mechanism that sparked autoimmune arthritis concerns, lawsuits, and the eventual withdrawal of the only previous Lyme vaccine, LYMErix.
The jab works by forcing the body to produce antibodies against a bacterial protein that resembles a protein found in your own joint tissue, meaning those antibodies may also recognize similar structures in your joints and trigger an immune response there.
That means a mechanism previously tied to immune responses against joint tissue—producing Lyme-like symptoms—is now being brought back and positioned for broad public rollout.
Moreover, current data tracks antibody levels in the bloodstream over months, but does not map where those antibodies distribute in human tissues or how repeated boosting affects immune activity over the long term. … continue

A string of high-profile settler attacks on villages across the occupied West Bank is part of a trend of ever-escalating assaults aimed at ethnically cleansing the territory. These extremists, backed by the Israeli army, are emboldened by the refusal of the Palestinian Authority to act.
Earlier this week, an Israeli settler assault on a school in the village of al-Mughayyer, near Ramallah, resulted in the killing of a 14-year-old school boy, Aws al-Naasan, along with 32-year-old Jihad Abu Naim, who had attempted to come to the aid of the children who had been opened fire upon. The incident caused an uproar, yet only a day later, another Palestinian man was executed by a settler in the village of Deir Dibwan, after which the Israeli military rounded up dozens of men and placed them under humiliating detention.
These assaults and ongoing series of pogroms, where settlers alongside their army comrades will burn down homes, businesses, and vehicles, are part of a larger effort aimed at ethnic cleansing.
Since October of 2023, at least 75 Palestinian villages and communities have been partially or completely ethnically cleansed, according to the latest statistics published by Israeli rights group B’tselem. Life in general has been greatly impacted throughout the occupied West Bank as a result of the ultra-emboldened settler violence problem.
However, there is a deeper-rooted issue at play here. … continue

In an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen, former Pakistani Information Minister and Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed highlighted Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts in facilitating indirect and direct communication between Iran and the United States, describing the process as a rare breakthrough in regional diplomacy.
Sayed stated that Pakistan “achieved something close to the impossible” in the initial round of discussions by helping bring Iranian and US representatives to the same table. He emphasized that the significance of the effort lay in “bringing the Iranian and American sides into the same room,” describing it as a notable diplomatic achievement.
According to Sayed, expectations remain high for a second round of talks between Tehran and Washington, though he stressed that such progress depends on the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iran.
He also told Al Mayadeen that the continuation of dialogue is contingent on a shift in US policy, adding that Pakistan remains in active contact with both Tehran and Washington. He also noted that communication channels include engagement with Pakistan’s military leadership, which has played a facilitating role. … continue

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will not hold any talks with US officials during his underway visit to the Pakistani capital Islamabad, despite CNN’s claiming otherwise, a report says.
On Friday, Tasnim News Agency rebuffed a report published earlier by the network concerning the top diplomat’s visit to the city, which is to be followed by trips to the Omani capital Muscat and the Russian capital Moscow.
CNN claimed that Donald Trump intended to send regional envoy Steve Witkoff as well as the US president’s son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner to Pakistan for “negotiations with Araghchi.”
Commenting on the report, Tasnim wrote, “This is despite the fact that, at present, no negotiations with the Americans are on the agenda at all, and Mr. Araghchi’s trip to Islamabad is not for talks with the United States.” … continue

I have previously addressed the lie that Iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism. Now I want to look specifically at the question of how many Americans, both civilian and military, have been killed by proxies who have received assistance from Iran. I will flip the script… How many Iranians, civilian and military, have been killed by US proxies? The numbers are staggering. US proxies have killed almost 28,000 times the number of Iranians than Iranian proxies have killed Americans. These numbers come primarily from US Department of Justice indictments, State Department reports, American Jewish Committee (AJC), and compiled victim databases. … continue

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s April 13th announcement that Rome will suspend a longstanding defense agreement with “Israel” sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Historically, Italian governments – even when led by figures who abhor Zionism – have enjoyed constructive, close ties with Tel Aviv. Mossad and Rome’s security, intelligence, and military apparatus also have a long-running clandestine relationship. In fact, the entity’s putrid overseas spying, assassination, and sabotage nexus was effectively born in Italy and has wreaked havoc in the country ever since.
Details of how Zionist spies secured a firm foothold in Italy are provided in a fascinating paper by academic Massimiliano Fiore. Drawing on archival sources, he “traces the evolution of Israeli clandestine activity” in Rome, demonstrating how Zionist intelligence connivances were waged in and against the country even before the entity’s May 1948 founding and throughout the war of erasure against Palestine that subsequently erupted. Several case studies map how Mossad’s criminality evolved over time, growing ever bolder, while informing how the agency operates globally today. … continue

For over two decades, US-Iran nuclear negotiations have been wrapped in secrecy and sold as a mechanism for reducing tensions. Yet a closer examination reveals a far different reality.
Negotiations were never intended to deliver a just or lasting solution. As the evidence suggests, they were simply a tool, a mechanism for the United States to maintain pressure on Iran while preserving the facade of diplomacy.
From the early 2000s through the signing of the nuclear deal in 2015 and its eventual unraveling three years later, the nuclear negotiation process has been defined by a single, consistent reality: the United States has never been a trustworthy or reliable partner at the table, and the negotiations have never produced the outcomes that were initially expected. … continue

The Somali government announced on 22 April that it will impose a ban on Israeli shipping passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, framing the move as a response to Tel Aviv’s recognition of the breakaway Republic of Somaliland.
The announcement was made by Somalia’s ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union, Abdullah Warfa.
He warned that violations of his country’s sovereignty “would not be tolerated.” … continue

Iran says the United States has turned into a state sponsor of terrorism after President Donald Trump endorsed a Washington Post op-ed that called for the assassination of Iranian leaders.
The op-ed by Marc Thiessen suggested giving Iran’s government a 72-hour ultimatum before ending the current ceasefire, resuming attacks, and “killing the ones who don’t want a deal.”
“The United States, which once presented itself as a cradle of democracy, freedom, and human values, now appears to become a promoter of terrorism, murder, and mass violence,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X on Thursday.
“What should one call this, if not a profound moral failure?” he asked. … continue

The US Department of State spent $39.7 million on Aegis Defense Services, a firm with a documented history of recruiting former child soldiers from Sierra Leone to reduce labor costs during the Iraq War.
The contract for professional security services at the US Embassy in Kiev was signed on October 31, 2022, months after the start of the Ukrainian conflict. While approximately $39.7 million has been spent to date, the total potential value of the agreement reaches $279.1 million, with a performance period that extends through May 13, 2033, according to a Sputnik correspondent’s analysis of public contract records from the official US government portals Sam.gov and USAspending.gov.
The award comes despite a history of ethical controversies surrounding the firm’s recruitment practices. A 2016 report by The Guardian cited a former senior director at Aegis Defense Services who acknowledged that the company had recruited mercenaries from Sierra Leone for operations in Iraq in order to reduce costs for the US presence there. The director admitted the firm had not screened recruits to determine if they were former child soldiers, defending the practice by claiming that excluding such individuals would penalize them for actions they were forced to commit as children.
Aegis Defense Services was acquired by Canadian security company GardaWorld in 2015 and now operates as GardaWorld Federal Services LLC. While the company has rebranded, both names are still used across US government systems and the entities share the same Unique Entity ID.
According to the contract records, the Kiev agreement is part of a much larger institutional relationship. The firm holds a massive global mandate under a Worldwide Protective Services III umbrella contract with a combined potential award value of $1.6 billion. This broader agreement includes high-value task orders for embassy security in other volatile regions, including a $387.3 million contract for the US Embassy in Baghdad and additional services in the Central African Republic.

MOSCOW – More than 8,000 Russian civilians have been killed and almost 20,000 have been injured in attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces since February 2022, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special envoy for crimes of the Kiev regime, said on Friday.
“The total number of injured civilians from the actions of Kiev’s armed formations since February 2022 has already reached 27,872 people, of whom more than 8,000 were killed, more precisely 8,012 people,” Miroshnik told reporters.
At least 1,725 civilians have been injured as a result of attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces in the first 90 days of 2026, the ambassador said.
Additionally, since February 2022, the Ukrainian armed forces have fired more than 400,000 rounds of ammunition at civilian targets in Russia and more than 43,000 in the first three months of 2026, Miroshnik said.

On Friday, Russian authorities confirmed a new oil spill in the Black Sea caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on a crude oil export port terminal.
The spill occurred following attacks on March 16 and 20 at the port of Tuapse, in the southern Krasnodar region, one of the main targets of the Ukrainian military in recent weeks.
The oil slick reached the sea from the Tuapse River, overcoming floating containment barriers due to heavy rains that raised the river’s water level.
Dozens of people are involved in cleanup operations, using special equipment to collect crude oil that has also reached the shore.
Emergency services were only able to extinguish last night the fire that broke out four days ago at the Tuapse refinery.
On April 20, Krasnodar authorities reported that Ukraine had caused oil spills through attacks on petro-gas and port infrastructure. … Full article

The UK Foreign Office unit tasked with documenting violations of international law by Israel in Palestine and Lebanon has been closed because of funding cuts, The Guardian reported on 24 April.
The decision to shut the international humanitarian law (IHL) cell follows a review by Olly Robbins, the permanent secretary at the Foreign Office. Robbins was dismissed last week following the security vetting controversy regarding Lord Mandelson’s appointment as UK ambassador to the US.
The decision also means funding will be cut for the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project run by the Center for Information Resilience (CIR), and the project will be shut down.
The center had been conducting the world’s largest open-source monitoring of human rights violations and conflict incidents in Israel, the occupied Palestinian territories, and Lebanon.
The closure of the Conflict and Security Monitoring project means that the Foreign Office will lose access to a database of 26,000 verified incidents dating back to 7 October 2023, the start of Israel’s Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
The database is used by the Foreign Office to decide whether arms export control licenses to Israel should remain suspended and to determine whether principles of international humanitarian law, such as proportionality, are being violated by Israel. … Full article

A lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has said that he was detained by police for wearing a kippah with the Israeli and Palestinian flags on it.
Alex Sinclair said in a post on Facebook on Thursday that he had been sporting the kippah for 20 years due to “a messy ambivalence of my Jewish-Zionist identity” and it was never a problem.
But a few days ago, a man approached him at a cafe in his hometown of Modi’in in central Israel, telling him that his skullcap was illegal and that he was going to call the police, he wrote.
Officers arrived some five minutes later. “They immediately tell me that my kippah is against the law and that they are going to confiscate it,” Sinclair recalled.
The lecturer said he refused to give up his head covering as it “meant so much” to him and he ended up being detained. He was swiftly released, but the police tried holding on to the kippah.
When he demanded it back, a female officer returned it to him only after cutting the Palestinian flag out of the head covering, the educator wrote. The symbol is not illegal under Israeli law. … Full article

The US Department of War will not disclose the price tag of its wars in the Western Hemisphere, but a new analysis by Brown University’s Costs of War Project, provided exclusively to The Intercept, offers the first window into the ballooning costs. By the most cautious estimate, the US military’s aggression on Venezuela and attacks on boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific have already cost taxpayers at least $4.7 billion.
The Costs of War analysis is the most comprehensive accounting of US air, naval, and Special Operations expenses used in the two campaigns between August 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. The need for such an estimate stems from the refusal of the Department of War to provide a tally of costs to lawmakers or The Intercept.
The researchers behind the estimate say it is almost assuredly an undercount. “Operations do not have a clear end date and are actively expanding. They carry significant human, financial, and strategic costs and risk,” wrote authors Hanna Homestead and Jennifer Kavanagh.
The naval deployment, which comprised the largest concentration of US ships in the region since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, constituted the single largest expense at an estimated $3.8 billion. Costs of War puts the daily operating costs of these ships at around $9 million per day.
The steep naval expenditures are followed by at least $616 million spent on the deployment of aircraft, including P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, F-35A Lightning II fighters, and MQ-9 Reaper drones used in both operations. The continuing daily cost of operating at least 20 aircraft that remain deployed in the region is $2.6 million.
Under “Operation Southern Spear,” the US military has conducted 53 attacks on alleged drug boats since September 2025, killing more than 180 civilians. The latest strike, on April 19 in the Caribbean, killed three people. The Trump administration claims its victims are members of cartels and criminal gangs but refuses to name them.
Experts in the laws of war and members of Congress from both parties say the strikes are illegal extrajudicial killings because the military is not permitted to deliberately target civilians, even suspected criminals, who do not pose an imminent threat of violence.
The summary executions are a significant departure from standard practice in the long-running US war on drugs, in which law enforcement agencies arrested suspected drug smugglers.
The Costs of War analysis puts the price tag of the munitions employed in these attacks on boats at between $12.5 million and $50 million, the range owing to the lack of transparency surrounding the strikes. The report notes that the individual cost of armaments used in each strike may top $1 million.
Beyond expenses captured under “Southern Spear”, ancillary costs of “Operation Absolute Resolve,” a large-scale air campaign and the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, top $206 million.
This includes the deployment of at least 150 aircraft along with precision munitions, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles and JASSM-ER missiles. […]
Trump has said he expects the US to be running Venezuela for years. The Intercept previously reported that Department of War procurement documents indicate the US plans to maintain a massive military presence in the Caribbean until late 2028.
“Much of the military forward presence involved in these operations appears to now have become the ‘steady state,’ that is, it is likely to remain in the region for the foreseeable future,” said Kavanagh. “This means that the costs will continue to accumulate.” … Full article
