Iran To Hold Meeting With China, Russia Over Nuclear Program & UN Snapback Mechanism
Iran will host a high-level trilateral meeting with China and Russia on Tuesday to discuss Iran's nuclear programme and the UN "snapback" sanctions mechanism, said Baqaei.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei on Monday announced that Iran will host a high-level trilateral meeting with China and Russia on Tuesday. The spokesman said the meeting will focus on Iran's nuclear programme and the United Nations 'snapback" sanctions mechanism.
Earlier, Baghaei also said that Iran will hold nuclear talks with Britain, France and Germany in Istanbul on Friday.
This comes following warnings by the three European nations that failure to resume talks would bring back international sanctions to Iran.
'The meeting between Iran, Britain, France and Germany will take place at the deputy foreign minister level," Iranian state media quoted Baghaei as saying.
Recently, the foreign ministers of the E3 nations, as those European countries are known, as well as the European Union's foreign policy chief, held their first call on Thursday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi since Israel and the US attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in June.

Markets will hope for a 'TACO' trade if better senses prevail: Nilesh Shah of Kotak Mutual Fund
Live Events Markets will hope for a 'TACO' trade if better sense prevails, said Nilesh Shah , Managing Director at Kotak Mahindra AMC, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Indian exports.'China is defying U.S./UN sanctions on Iran oil, Myanmar and Russia trade, and North Korea support. The size and competitiveness of an economy have their advantages,' Shah added that the unilateral imposition of tariffs should ideally push Indian policymakers toward more growth-supportive reforms. India's best deterrent remains the size and competitiveness of its GDP, he President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian exports starting from August 1. Trump further hinted at unspecified penalties linked to India's continued energy and military purchases from Russia. This follows the earlier 26% reciprocal tariff imposed on India on April expert says it is difficult to see how we reached a situation where we have 25% tariff + penalty and he had noted that Trump may be a messiah for Indian trade and investments and it seemed like a great opportunity to win in global markets.'A 25% rate leaves us higher than Vietnam, Indonesia, and other competitor economies from Asia/EU. India had a potential chance to get a 10% rate from the US.. imagine the positive impact of that to the Indian economy and trade and investments,' said Arvind Chari, Chief Investment Strategist, Q India UK, affiliate of Quantum Advisors should be deeply disappointing for the government and the foreign policy to have ended in this situation and with Trump there are always way outs and hope India can find one to get a better deal, Chari further expert believes that the current tariff announcement is much beyond trade and has far bigger geopolitical implications on the ongoing bilateral relations between India and US since Operation Sindoor and roots of this aggression lie in - four factors include, firstly Indian denial of US role in ceasefire with Pakistan. Secondly, sustained buying of Russian crude, followed by continuous status of Russia as a key defence supplier and lastly growing strategic overtures of BRICS and attempts at forging a RIC (Russia, India, China ) block which might disturb US geopolitical interests in SE Read | 13 equity mutual funds with over Rs 1,000 NAV offer up to 24% CAGR since their inception 'We don't rule out some counter measures by India on US exports and the path to a trade deal is not easy given sticky issues like agriculture, dairy and defence. We expect an increase in uncertainty and market volatility in the near term. We believe companies which have higher US exports might see increased volatility,' said Amnish Aggarwal, Director - Research, Institutional Research, PL Capital.'Although the current earnings season has not shown any meaningful recovery in domestic demand, hopes of festival season demand revival will increase interest in domestic stories for the time being. Domestic consumption, hospitals, select consumer, Infra, capital Goods, AMC and private banks will act as a defensive hedge during these volatile times,' Aggarwal adds.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

'This Was A False Case': Senior Advocate Mahesh Jethmalani On Malegaon Verdict
A Mumbai court acquitted all seven accused in the Malegaon blasts case, including ex-BJP MP Pragya Singh. Mahesh Jethmalani called it a "false case" and "politically driven." A special court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused in the Malegaon blasts case. Reacting to the verdict, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, who had previously represented Sadhvi Pragya, said 'this was a false case." Former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur was acquitted of the charges against her, along with six others, by an NIA court. Jethmalani further said the issue was 'politicised" and was 'only to further statement by a leading politician that Hindu terrosism was more dangerous than LET Terrorism." 'I feel sorry for the victims who suffered as the case was politically driven." After 17 years since the bomb blast was carried out in the Muslim-dominated area of Mumbai's Malegaon during the month of Ramadan in 2008. Former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit and Retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay were among the seven accused named by NIA in the case. After a long-shelved legal battle, all 7 accused are acquitted today. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the charge of Malegaon attack from Maharashtra Anti-terrorism squad in 2011. As per the court's verdict pronounced today, the prosecution failed to present any concrete evidence linking the seven accused to the 2008 Malegaon blasts. The single-judge bench led by AK Lahoti stated that the use of UAPA in this case was also defective. The court observed no religion teaches violence, the court said. Terrorism has no religion, but the court cannot convict on mere perception. Special judge A K Lahoti, presiding over National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases, while reading out the judgment said there was no 'reliable and cogent evidence" against the accused that proved the case beyond reasonable doubt. What Happened In 2008? An explosive device strapped to a motorcycle went off near a mosque in the town, located about 200 km from Mumbai, on September 29, 2008 killing six persons and injuring 101 others.
