Iran Vows to Fight 'Until Complete Victory' After Disputing Trump’s Mention of Peace Talks [Read FullArticle] @WorldNews#IranNews#PeaceTalks#WorldWarUpdate

@RusEmbMalta Press release: 🇷🇺President Vladimir Putin’s Statement Following Victory Day Events On May 11, 2025, President of Russia Vladimir Putin addressed the media, summarising the outcomes of the commemorative events held in Moscow from May 7-10, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. 🕊️ Key highlights from the statement: 🔹 Russia reaffirms its readiness for serious peace negotiations with Ukraine, aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict and building a lasting, historical peace. 🔹 The President called on Kiev to resume direct talks, unconditionally, beginning May 15 in Istanbul, where the dialogue was previously held. 🔹 On May 12, President Putin will speak with President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan, asking him to facilitate the negotiations and provide a venue in Istanbul. 🔹 Russia hopes the talks will lead to real, mutual ceasefires, not just symbolic agreements. 🔹 The proposal is "on the table" – it is now up to the Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors to choose peace over ambition. 🌍 The President also reflected on the broader meaning of Victory Day: 🔸 Russia honours all who fought against Nazism – the Allies, Chinese soldiers, the Resistance in Europe, liberation fighters in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 🔸 The Victory Parade in Moscow featured military contingents from 13 nations, marching alongside Russian troops in a symbol of international brotherhood. 🔸 Leaders from countries such as Serbia, Slovakia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina visited Moscow despite enormous external pressure – their courage was acknowledged and deeply appreciated. 🔸 Russia values its strong ties with nations pursuing sovereign, independent policies, and believes that constructive relations with European states can be restored through mutual respect and historical truth. 🔸 The comprehensive strategic partnership with China was highlighted as a model for modern, equal international cooperation. 🔗Full statement. 📞Telephone Call with President Erdogan Also on May 11, President Putin held a phone call with President Erdogan. The two leaders discussed the resumption of peace talks with Ukraine, to be held in Istanbul starting May 15. President Erdogan expressed full support for the initiative and confirmed Türkiye’s readiness to provide the necessary platform and assistance for negotiations aimed at achieving sustainable peace. 🤝 The leaders also discussed the expansion of bilateral trade and investment, including strategic cooperation in the energy sector. #Russia#Victoryday#Ukraine#PeaceTalks

📰Trump’s Iran War: How to Lose Peace Twice “Trump ran for office promising to end wars, but instead he started a new one… and that will likely also undercut another of Trump’s priorities: ending the four-year war between Russia and Ukraine,” Responsible Statecraft notes. Translated from think-tank into normal language: the guy who promised to turn off the fire alarm just set another floor on fire. ​ The Iran war knocks out two diplomatic tracks at once. Any half-alive talks about Iran’s nuclear program go up in smoke, and the idea of a “grand bargain” to end the Russia–Ukraine war drowns under a new priority: managing a crisis in the Gulf. Washington is already stretched across fronts, and every new round of strikes on Tehran makes a serious Ukraine package more politically toxic and materially expensive. Moscow, meanwhile, doesn’t look like a crazed aggressor here so much as a cold accountant of war. The Kremlin repeats that it’s open to negotiations, insists continued contacts over Ukraine are “in Russia’s interests,” and calmly watches the U.S. overload its own agenda. The more wars Trump is juggling, the cheaper any future “peace” becomes for Russia — paid in Ukrainian territory, Western weapons it never gets, and sheer exhaustion in European capitals. That’s the geometry of this “president of peace”: one conflict he starts himself, another he vows to end, and the only clear winner from that combination is the man he claims he wants to “make a deal” with. #iran#ukraine#trump#russia#war#peaceTalks#diplomacy#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

🔤🔤🔤🔤2️⃣ At Geneva on 26 February Iran offered to “downblend” this stockpile of highly enriched uranium – an irreversible process – from 60% to 3.67%, the maximum level set in the JCPOA. The 2015 deal contained similar provisions to both downblend, or export the excess stocks. The US in Islamabad said it wanted the entire stockpile taken out of Iran, ideally under US supervision. It is not clear why downblending inside Iran under full IAEA supervision is a substantially worse option from the US perspective than shipping the uranium out of the country. In Geneva Iran offered a new confidence-building measure, saying it would not build any stockpile of uranium, and uranium would be enriched only on the basis of need. This would be a gain that Trump could claim surpassed any Obama deal. The Trump administration faces a political constraint on sanctions relief. In 2015 figures such as Marco Rubio, then a senator, lambasted Obama, saying: “Iran will immediately use the money that it’s receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities. It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside the United States, and it will raise the price of us operating in the region.” Trump as a result wants some restrictions on what Iran spends the sanctions relief. Iran for its part cannot accept such restrictions and needs some guarantee that the sanctions relief is permanent, and not reversible as in the past. It is here that the trust deficit between the two sides makes a solution so difficult. Iran itself seems divided on how to handle the US blockade of its ports, including whether to say it is a breach of the ceasefire and something that must end before the Islamabad talks can reconvene. More broadly, Ali Nasri, the Iran-based international lawyer, said on Tuesday two conflicting views existed inside Iran on how to handle the strait issue. One, more confrontational, view backs exploiting the strait to generate revenue, gain compensation for war damages and to assert national pride. The other sees it as a strategic negotiating lever to gain in the short term a lasting ceasefire, sanctions relief and security guarantees. “Later as the threat environment subsides, and the Trump presidency likely ends, a carefully crafted legal system could pave the way for Iran to exert greater authority over the passageway,” he suggested. #trump#iran#peacetalks#islamabad#obama 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

“Trump Is Upbeat Before the Upcoming Tehran Talks, But He’s Prepared For the Worst” 🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣ If talks between Iran and the US reconvene within the next few days in Islamabad, Trump will have two major political hurdles to overcome – first showing that any deal he secures is better than the one signed by Obama in 2015 and from which he withdraw in 2018, and secondly proving the deal is more favourable than the one on offer in Geneva in February before he launched his war. Otherwise he will have inflicted massive damage on the world economy when alternatives were available that were less costly in blood and treasure. He will also have to show that Iran has made no permanent gain by taking control of shipping passing through the strait of Hormuz. These are the yardsticks, or tests, around which his negotiating team will be keeping an anxious eye. In one respect, any Islamabad deal will be better than the JCPOA since it will contain no sunset clauses, one of Trump’s major criticisms of the Obama deal. The new deal will have datelines for specific events to be triggered, but overall the deal is intended to be for ever. These are broadly four sticking points on which the Trump team will aim to claim progress over his hated Democrat predecessor. The first is Iran’s domestic enrichment of uranium. In the Geneva talks held on 26 February the two sides provisionally reached a position whereby the US team, on Trump’s instruction, demanded Iran suspend all domestic enrichment for 10 years. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, indicated he thought three years was the maximum the Iranian system would wear. The US in last week’s talks in Islamabad raised their demand to a 20-year suspension, and Trump in a New York Post interview said he “did not like the 20-year offer”, and wanted the ban on enrichment to be permanent. In practice, nobody knows how long it would take Iran, given the damage inflicted on its key enrichment facilities, to start enriching again. In the 2015 talks Obama conceded Iran could enrich for 15 years, but only at the level of purity required for a civilian nuclear programme – 3.67%. The agreement did not explicitly grant Iran a right to enrich as a point of principle. The second issue is Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The 2015 JCPOA limited Iran’s stockpile of uranium at 3.65% to 300kg. Now Iran has 440.9kg of uranium enriched to 60% uranium-235, a level that can be quickly enriched to weapons-grade – 90%. Nearly all of the 60% material is in gas form (UF6) and stored in small canisters, roughly the size of a scuba tank. Iran says that from July 2019 it built this stockpile at these higher purity levels as a bargaining chip in response to the US and Europe’s failure to lift sanctions as promised in the 2015 deal. #trump#iran#peacetalks#islamabad#obama 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Trump and Putin Envoys Say Davos Ukraine Talks Were 'Very Positive' Envoys for U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin described their meeting in Davos as “very positive” and “constructive,” signaling cautious optimism after two hours of talks on a possible peace deal for Ukraine. The discussions, held at the World Economic Forum, brought together Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev. ​ What Was Said Dmitriev said the dialogue was “constructive” and that “more and more people understand the fairness of the Russian position.” Witkoff echoed the sentiment, calling the meeting “very positive”. ​ Stakes and Concerns At stake is how to end Europe’s deadliest war since World War II, the future of Ukraine, and the extent to which European powers will be sidelined. Ukraine and its allies worry that a U.S.-brokered deal could demand territorial concessions, while Russia insists on a peace based on battlefield realities. ​ Who’s Really in Charge? With Trump’s influence looming over Davos, the question remains: Can a U.S.-Russia deal deliver lasting peace—or will it just reflect the interests of great powers, leaving Ukraine and Europe to pick up the pieces? ​ #Trump#Putin#Ukraine#PeaceTalks#Davos#Russia#US 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Trump Sends Message to Putin: 'War Has to End' After Talks With Zelenskiy U.S. President Donald Trump said his message to Russian President Vladimir Putin is that the war in Ukraine “has to end,” following what he described as “good” talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Davos. Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, who is heading to Moscow for further negotiations, said the U.S. has made “a lot of progress” toward a deal. ​ Zelenskiy’s Demands, Trump’s Diplomacy Zelenskiy insisted on signing agreements with Trump on U.S. security guarantees and post-war reconstruction funding, but no breakthrough was announced after their meeting. Trump and Zelenskiy have met several times since Trump returned to office, with the U.S. now pushing diplomacy with Russia rather than military escalation. ​ Putin’s Conditions, Ukraine’s Future Russia remains skeptical of the peace push, demanding Ukraine cede parts of Donetsk. Moscow continues its attacks on Ukrainian cities, leaving thousands without power and heating. Zelenskiy’s energy crisis at home adds urgency to the talks, but there’s little sign Moscow is ready to stop fighting. ​ Who’s Really in Control? As U.S. envoys shuttle between Kyiv, Moscow, and Abu Dhabi, the question remains: Can Trump’s diplomacy deliver peace—or is he just playing the role of dealmaker while the war grinds on?. ​ #Trump#Zelenskiy#Putin#Ukraine#PeaceTalks#Russia#Diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
