Jordan extends condolences to Russia after deadly plane crash
The aircraft went down near the town of Tynda in the Amur Oblast region, claiming the lives of all those on board.
In a statement on Thursday, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sufyan Qudah expressed the Kingdom's solidarity with Russia and conveyed heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims. He also reiterated Jordan's full support for the Russian government and people in the wake of the tragedy.
A passenger plane carrying nearly 50 people crashed in a remote area of Russia's far eastern Amur region on Thursday, killing all on board, authorities said.
The plane, a Soviet-made twin-propeller Antonov-24, went down in remote, thickly forested terrain, leaving a column of smoke pouring from the crash site and no signs of survivors, according to state media and videos published by investigators.

Trump shortens Russia ceasefire deadline, cites disappointment in Putin
US President Donald Trump announced Monday that he plans to shorten the deadline given to Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, from fifty days down to just ten to twelve days, citing frustration over ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities. Speaking to reporters during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump said, 'I was generous in giving him 50 days on July 14 before imposing secondary sanctions on Moscow, but we're not seeing meaningful progress, and I'm deeply disappointed in President Putin. So I'm cutting the fifty-day period I gave him to a new window of about 10 or 12 days starting today.' When asked about the status of ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine, Trump said: 'We thought we had it settled many times, and then President Putin comes out and starts launching missiles on a city, like Kyiv, killing many people in nursing homes or wherever, with bodies scattered across the streets. This is not the right way.' Trump added, 'We'll see what happens. I'm very disappointed in President Putin. I'm reducing the 50-day deadline I gave him, but frankly, I think I already know what the outcome will be.'

UN watchdog to visit Iran as Tehran enforces new inspection restrictions
Iran will host a visit from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog within the next two weeks, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announced Monday. The announcement follows remarks by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, who recently said Tehran is ready to resume technical discussions with the agency. Baghaei stated that Iran will present a new framework for cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, based on a recently enacted law passed by parliament. Under the law, any future inspections of Iran's nuclear sites by the IAEA must be approved by the country's Supreme National Security Council. The move comes amid heightened tensions following last month's "Israeli" and US airstrikes aimed at crippling Iran's nuclear program. The IAEA has repeatedly insisted it must be allowed to resume inspections, expressing concern over Iran's stockpile of roughly 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. Iran maintains its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and continues to deny any ambition to develop nuclear weapons. Baghaei emphasized that Iran, as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has the right to enrich uranium. He also reiterated Iran's position that it may resume indirect talks with the United States if it serves the country's national interest. However, he confirmed that no new round of negotiations is currently planned. Five rounds of indirect talks hosted by Oman were suspended following the recent 12-day conflict between Iran and "Israel". Tensions with the IAEA intensified after Grossi stated there was no evidence of a systematic Iranian effort to build a nuclear weapon. Iran has since accused the agency of being slow to respond and politically biased, claiming it provided justification for "Israeli" attacks. 'The agency betrayed the non-proliferation system and became a partner in the unjust war against Iran,' Baghaei said, referring to recent IAEA reports that Tehran claims were used as a pretext for military aggression.
