Iran works with China, Russia to avert possible European sanctions
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that Tehran is coordinating with China and Russia to prevent potential European sanctions. On Tuesday, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France informed UN Secretary-General António Guterres that they are prepared to re-activate sanctions on Iran if no negotiated solution to its nuclear program is reached by the end of August. Speaking to state television, Araghchi warned: 'If that happens, it will be negative. We will try to prevent it. We are working with China and Russia to stop it.' He added, 'If it doesn't succeed and they implement it, we have tools to respond. We will talk about them at the right time.' The foreign ministers of the three European states, known as the E3, have threatened to trigger the 'snapback mechanism' from the 2015 nuclear deal, which eased UN Security Council sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear program. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said, 'We have made it clear that unless Iran is willing to reach a diplomatic solution before the end of August 2025, or takes the opportunity for an extension, the E3 is prepared to trigger the snapback mechanism.' Araghchi called the return to sanctions a 'negative' move but claimed there was 'exaggeration' about its potential economic consequences. Last month, Araghchi sent a letter to the UN arguing that the E3 lacks the legitimacy to reinstate sanctions. In their Tuesday letter, the three ministers countered that there is 'no basis' for his claim.

Macron: Trump agreed only Ukraine can negotiate territorial concessions
Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump agreed with European leaders that Ukraine must be part of any discussions about territorial concessions to end the war with Russia, Emmanuel Macron said. The French president was speaking after an hour-long meeting between Trump, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders ahead of the U.S. president's meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. 'Territorial questions that fall under Ukraine's authority cannot be negotiated and will only be negotiated by the President of Ukraine,' Macron said, adding that Trump had 'expressed' the same. Trump said on Monday that a peace settlement would require 'land swapping' done by both Ukraine and Russia, but did not specify which territories are on the table. There were not any 'robust' discussions regarding land swaps during the call, Macron said, speaking from his holiday residence in the south of France alongside European Council President António Costa. Zelenskyy has forcefully rejected the idea that any land swaps could take place without Ukraine's say-so. 'I want to emphasize right away that any issues related to the territorial integrity of our state cannot be discussed, despite our state, our people, the will of the state, the will of our people's Constitution of Ukraine,' he said after Wednesday's call. Other points of agreement with Trump, Macron and Costa both said, include seeking out a ceasefire and the U.S. taking part in future security guarantees for Ukraine. Politico

'Viable' chance for Ukraine ceasefire thanks to Trump: UK PM
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday said there was now a "viable" chance for a Ukraine ceasefire, ahead of talks between US President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin. Starmer said Ukraine's military backers, the so-called Coalition of the Willing, had drawn up workable military plans in case of a ceasefire but were also ready to add pressure on Russia through sanctions. "For three and a bit years this conflict has been going, we haven't got anywhere near... a viable way of bringing it to a ceasefire," Starmer told a meeting of European leaders. "Now we do have that chance, because of the work that the (US) president has put in," he told the video conference he led alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron. The call was joined by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky from Germany, and US Vice President JD Vance, who is currently visiting the UK. While Starmer said Friday's Alaska meeting between Trump and Putin was "hugely important", he reiterated that there "should be no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine". "This is a critical moment, we have to combine active diplomacy on the one hand with military support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia," he said. The coalition has drawn up military plans "which are now ready in a form that can be used if we get to that ceasefire", Starmer added. He said Britain and other European allies also "stand ready to increase pressure on Russia" through sanctions and "wider measures" if necessary.
