Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that the entire region and beyond will face consequences if Israel is not held accountable for its recent attacks on Iran.
Speaking at the BRICS summit in Brazil, Araghchi condemned what he described as “US-Israeli attacks on our nuclear facilities,” stating they violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed Iran’s peaceful nuclear program in 2015. He accused the United States of full complicity in what he termed “Israel’s war of aggression against Iran.”
Iran secured support from BRICS+ nations during their meeting in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, with the bloc condemning recent Israeli and US air strikes that targeted military, nuclear and other Iranian facilities. The 11-nation grouping declared the attacks “constitute a violation of international law.”
“We condemn the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025,” leaders stated in their summit declaration, without specifically naming the United States or Israel. The bloc also expressed “serious concern over deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities.”
This diplomatic backing represents a significant victory for Tehran, which has received limited regional or global support following a 12-day bombing campaign by Israeli forces that concluded with US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan.
Israel initiated the surprise attack on Iran’s military, nuclear, and civilian sites on June 13, resulting in at least 935 deaths according to Iranian reports. The Iranian Health Ministry reported 5,332 wounded individuals.
Iran responded with retaliatory missile and drone strikes against Israel, which killed at least 29 people and wounded more than 3,400, according to figures from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The conflict concluded with a US-sponsored ceasefire that became effective on June 24 and remains in place.

Musk Launches America Party After Epic Feud With Trump Over Budget Bill
Billionaire Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party following President Donald Trump's signing of controversial budget legislation known as the "One Big, Beautiful Bill." Musk declared the creation of the "America Party" on X Saturday, stating it would "give back" Americans their freedom and challenge what he described as the nation's "one-party system." The announcement followed a poll Musk posted Friday asking whether respondents wanted "independence from the two-party (some would say uni-party) system" that has dominated US politics for approximately two centuries. The survey received over 1.2 million responses. "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" Musk wrote Saturday. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is […]

Trump Says Gaza Deal Could Happen Next Week After Hamas Response
Hamas has delivered what it calls a "positive response" to mediators regarding the latest US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement. The Palestinian armed group announced Friday night that it was "seriously ready to enter immediately into a round of negotiations" but did not confirm acceptance of the specific terms. A senior Palestinian official informed the BBC that Hamas requested several modifications, including ending a US-backed aid distribution system and obtaining US guarantees that warfare would not resume if negotiations failed. Israel's government has not issued a statement. President Donald Trump, who said he had not been briefed on the details, described Hamas's positive response as "good" and told reporters aboard Air Force One that "there could be a Gaza deal next week." The timing appears significant as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit […]

Eight Men Face Deportation to War-Torn South Sudan After Court Battle Fails
Eight men in U.S. detention have lost their final legal challenge to avoid deportation to South Sudan, a country facing ongoing human rights concerns. On Friday, Judge Brian Murphy of Boston denied the last-minute appeal following extensive legal activity throughout the day. The men have been held at a U.S. military base in Djibouti since late May, when courts halted an earlier deportation flight to South Sudan. The U.S. Supreme Court has twice ruled that the Trump administration could deport the men to countries outside their homelands, with its latest decision issued Thursday. The appeal, filed that night, argued that repeated deportation attempts to South Sudan were "impermissibly punitive," citing the U.S. Constitution's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment." The U.S. State Department advises American citizens to avoid South Sudan due to ongoing armed conflict and has previously accused the […]

Texas Flash Flood Disaster Claims 24 Lives As Summer Camp Girls Remain Missing
A major search and rescue operation continues through the night in Texas after flash floods killed at least 24 people and left multiple girls missing from a Christian summer camp. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in less than an hour with minimal warning, creating flooding that swept away mobile homes, vehicles and holiday cabins where people were spending the July 4th weekend. Rescue crews are searching for up to 25 children who were among 750 girls attending Camp Mystic near Kerrville, located 104 kilometers northwest of San Antonio. A state of emergency has been declared in several counties where roads have been washed away and phone lines are down. President Donald Trump called the tragedy "shocking" and "terrible" as the White House pledged additional assistance. Images show deep flood waters overwhelming bridges and fast-moving water rushing down roads. Eyewitness […]

Former Labour Leader Says Government Policies Overshadowed by Controversial Decisions
Former Labour leader Lord Neil Kinnock has stated that the party's policies are "barely being noticed" and have been "obscured" by disputes over welfare reforms and winter fuel payments. Lord Kinnock, who led the Labour Party from 1983 to 1992, spoke to Sky News as Sir Keir Starmer marked his first year as Prime Minister. He suggested that "a cloud hangs over the accomplishments of the Government" despite what he described as substantial achievements. The former leader acknowledged that Labour has "a series of really commendable and absolutely essential policies" but argued these are being overshadowed by controversial decisions. He also proposed implementing a wealth tax as a potential policy change that could gain public support. Sir Keir's anniversary week coincided with the Prime Minister abandoning several proposed welfare reforms following opposition from backbench MPs. When asked about the Government's […]
