The ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran ends soon. President Trump says a U.S. delegation is going to Pakistan for talks, but Iran hasn’t confirmed their attendance. MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: The ceasefire agreement between the U.S., Israel and Iran expires tomorrow. President Trump told CNBC this morning that he does not want to extend the ceasefire. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time because by the time both parties get there, you know, they just got the OK to go forward, which I knew they were going to do anyway. LEILA FADEL, HOST: That’s as the status of further peace talks to extend that agreement remain unclear. And in Lebanon, a different temporary ceasefire agreement to pause the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is in place. But people there are watching what happens between the U.S. and Iran. MARTIN: For more on all that, we’re joined by NPR’s Kat Lonsdorf, who is in southern Lebanon. Kat, welcome. Thanks for joining us. …

Spain pushes to end EU-Israel association agreement – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

Sánchez has emerged as one of Israel’s most vocal critics in the EU. He accused Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of committing genocide in Gaza and denounced the joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran as an “immense error.” Critics claim that Israel’s continued strikes against Lebanon are undermining a peace settlement in the broader region. During his speech in Andalusia, Sánchez called for an immediate end to the war in the Middle East that has led to a surge in global oil prices and mass displacement across the region. The foreign ministers of Spain, Ireland and Slovenia accused Israel of breaching the association agreement with the EU in a letter to the bloc’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, on Saturday. They said that the approval of the death penalty by the Israeli parliament and violent action by Israeli settlers in the West Bank are violations of fundamental human rights. Madrid’s proposal to end the association agreement, however, is unlikely to immediately succeed as it requires unanimity among the EU’s 27 member countries. The idea is likely to …

Italy suspends defence agreement with Israel as Lebanon attacks stoke tensions

Italy has suspended its defence agreement with Israel, which involves the exchange of military equipment and technology research, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and diplomatic sources said Tuesday. “In view of the current situation, the government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defence agreement with Israel,” Meloni said on the sidelines of an event in Verona, according to Italian news agencies ANSA and AGI. An Italian diplomatic source confirmed to AFP that the agreement had been suspended, saying: “It would have been politically difficult to keep it going.” Approved by Israel in 2006, the agreement is reviewed every five years. It calls for cooperation across defence industries, education and training of military personnel, research and development and information technology, among others. Tensions between the two countries have risen over the past week after the Italian government accused Israeli forces of firing warning shots at a convoy of Italian UN peacekeepers in Lebanon. Italy summoned Israel’s ambassador in protest over the incident that damaged at least one vehicle but caused no injuries. On Monday, …

U.S. has violated ceasefire agreement, Iran parliamentary speaker says

U.S. has violated ceasefire agreement, Iran parliamentary speaker says

Published by Sam Flores

Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the U.S. on Wednesday of violating the two-week ceasefire agreement. “The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again,” Ghalibaf said in a statement posted on social media. Three parts of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal have been violated, Ghalibaf said. The violations are Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, he said. “In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable,” the parliamentary speaker said. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Iran’s proposal was a workable basis for negotiations. Vice President JD Vance addressed Ghalibaf’s allegations while traveling in Hungary on Wednesday. “Ceasefires are always messy,” Vance said in response to the alleged drone incursion into Iran’s airspace. The vice president said the U.S. position is that Iran cannot enrich uranium. The ceasefire extending to Lebanon was never part …
