Trump claimed on July 22 that the agreement secures massive Japanese investments, strong tariff protections, and guaranteed access for US farm exports, including rice. But Japan's official summary, published by its Cabinet Secretariat, describes a far more limited framework -- still under negotiation and lacking binding commitments, GTRI Founder

Counter View: A Clarification On Iran's Strategic Path And Historical Resolve
The recently published article "Snapback to Reality: On Iran's 45-Year Slog to Nowhere" presents a perspective that, while rhetorically polished, fundamentally misrepresents Iran's history, identity, and strategic choices. The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes open discussion and diverse opinions. But narratives built on selective memory, historical erasure, and one-sided judgment do not advance peace or understanding-they reinforce entrenched injustice. The author alleges that Iran's so-called misguided policies and what he describes as "Entrenched Animosity" toward the United States and Israel are the root causes of its challenges. He claims that these policies have brought Iran into a state of crisis and isolation. According to the author, Iran must abandon its confrontational policies and transform into a "normal" actor on the international stage; otherwise, he warns, a bleak future awaits the country. He further asserts that the United States and its Western allies are prepared to invest in Iran and facilitate its transformation into a prosperous and developed nation-provided that Iran relinquishes its nuclear capabilities. Accordingly, this Embassy considers it its legitimate right and responsibility, in the interest of enlightening public opinion, to provide the following clarifications: 1. Iran's Revolution: A Demand for Dignity, Not Just Defiance The 1979 Islamic Revolution was not born out of blind hatred or ideological stubbornness. It was the collective awakening of a nation long subjected to foreign domination, coups, imposed monarchies, and the plundering of national wealth. The slogans heard then-and now-reflect a deep historical memory. They are not simply about America or Israel Per Se, but about resisting colonial arrogance, military aggression, and decades of betrayal. Unlike what the article suggests, Iran does not define itself by enmity. It defines itself by independence, sovereignty, and the pursuit of justice in a region scarred by wars, occupations, and externally backed dictatorships. The question is not why Iran resists, but why others feel entitled to demand its submission. 2. On the JCPOA and Western Commitments Iran negotiated and upheld the JCPOA-a deal verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as fully implemented. It was the United States, under the Trump administration, that unilaterally withdrew and re-imposed sanctions without cause. Suggesting that Iran retaliated by enriching uranium ignores the timeline and the facts. Iran acted within the framework of the deal, and under the mechanisms allowed by it. Today, Iran remains open to balanced, verifiable, and respectful negotiations-but not to intimidation disguised as diplomacy. The "snapback" mechanism, now being brandished as a threat, is an instrument that was only designed to be used in case of non-compliance. Iran's patience and repeated gestures of goodwill, despite being attacked by Israel and economically strangled by illegal sanctions, are evidence of commitment to peaceful resolution. 3. The Real Choice: Not Capitulation, But Balance The article frames Iran's future as a binary between "stubbornness or survival." But realpolitik has never been that simple. Iran is not demanding war. It is demanding fairness. If the West truly wants reconciliation, it must begin by acknowledging its role in the decades of distrust, ending collective punishment through sanctions, and ceasing to judge Iran through the lens of outdated Cold War ideology. 4. Iran's Regional Role: A Stabilising Force, Not a Spoiler While Iran is criticised for supporting allies in the region, few ask why such alliances exist. Iran's support for movements in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, or Yemen is not imperial ambition-it is resistance against occupation, extremism, and Western-backed militarism. At every turn, Iran has called for dialogue, regional security cooperation, and a nuclear-free Middle East - a call still ignored by those shielding Israel's undeclared arsenal. If Israel strikes Iranian scientists and sovereign facilities with impunity, and then plays the victim when met with pushback, who truly undermines regional peace? In Closing: A Call for Mutual Respect Iran always welcomed negotiation, provided to be fair and equal and its rights to be respected and no nation should be expected to trade sovereignty for survival. Iran holds the wire-not because it seeks to detonate anything-but because it refuses to be silenced. The choice before the US is to treat Iran as what it is: a sovereign, ancient, capable nation seeking its rightful place in the international system-with respect, not with coercion. Iran doesn't need to be something else. It will remain what it has always been: Iran-independent, proud, and unafraid to choose its own path.

Trump targets Aug 1 for global trade deals as EU and China talks go on
President Donald Trump will make his trade deal decisions this week even as separate negotiations with China and the European Union continue, US Commerce chief Howard Lutnick said on Tuesday ahead of Trump's self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. US and EU officials were still discussing steel and aluminum tariffs as well as digital services regulations following their framework announced on Sunday, Lutnick told CNBC in an interview, adding that talks with China were also "their own thing". "But for the rest of the world, we're going to have things done by Friday," he said in the interview. Asked about remaining uncertainties surrounding the US-EU agreement, Lutnick said Trump was working "to get things done now." He said pharmaceuticals were a key part of the EU deal so that medicines made in European countries home to several major drugmakers would see their products included in the 15 per cent tariff. "It was important for them to have pharmaceuticals be part of the deal at 15 per cent because President Trump is going to come out in the next two weeks with his pharmaceutical policy, and it is going to be higher," he said.

Tej dares RJD to act against MLA
Patna: Former minister Tej Pratap Yadav , elder son of Lalu Prasad, on Tuesday challenged the RJD leadership to take action against its MLA Bhai Birendra over a viral audio clip in which he is allegedly heard threatening a govt official. "I was expelled from the RJD under a conspiracy by betrayers. But will the RJD show similar strictness against Bhai Birendra?" Tej Pratap asked in a post on social media. Accusing the party of double standards, he said, "Respect for the Constitution must be reflected in action, not in speeches." He alleged that Bhai Birendra had made derogatory remarks against members of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes (SC/ST) community and even issued death threats to the official over the phone. The controversy erupted after Bhai Birendra, an RJD MLA, allegedly used abusive language in a telephonic conversation with a panchayat secretary. Although the MLA has since expressed regret for his remarks, he denied making any casteist slurs during the exchange. Tej Pratap, who was expelled from the RJD two months ago, is said to have been angered by what he sees as selective disciplinary action. His expulsion followed a social media post in which he disclosed his relationship with a young woman, prompting the RJD chief to suspend him from the party for six years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bulk buying rush at Mannings! 40+ men hair changed KAMINOWA Learn More Undo In a recent sign of widening rifts within the Yadav family, Tej Pratap unfollowed several of his sisters on the social media platform X, just ahead of the Rakshabandhan festival. This public move has further fuelled speculation of internal discord. According to those close to him, Tej Pratap is considering contesting as an Independent candidate from Mahua, the assembly seat in Vaishali district that he won in 2015. In 2020, he shifted to Hasanpur in Samastipur district. Mahua is currently represented by RJD MLA Mukesh Kumar Raushan, who has been actively cultivating his constituency over the past five years. If Tej Pratap enters the electoral fray from Mahua, it could lead to a split in the vote share, potentially clearing the path for a third contender to emerge victorious, political observers said.
