EAM S Jaishankar to meet Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow Aug 21
New Delhi/Moscow, Aug 13 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is slated to meet his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on August 21. 'On August 21, FM (Foreign Minister) Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with FM of India S. Jaishankar in Moscow. The Ministers will discuss key issues on our bilateral agenda, as well as key aspects of cooperation within international frameworks,' said the Russian Foreign Ministry. The meeting comes post the massive 50% tariffs imposed on India by the United States as penalty for continuing its oil trade with Russia. In light of these new developments, Moscow and New Delhi have pledged to deepen their 'strategic partnership' across various sectors ranging from trade, security, technology, science and more. The two leaders previously met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in July in Brazil, discussing both bilateral ties and international developments. This marks the second visit of an Indian official to Russia in August, after National Security Advisor met Russian Defence Secretary Sergey Shoigu, and later President Vladmir Putin. UNI ANV SSP

E3 nations threaten to resume sanctions on Iran
Tehran, Aug 13 (UNI) France, Germany, and the UK, collectively known as the E3, have once again threatened Iran with the reimposition of the snapback UN sanctions, unless the country resumes negotiations, reports Iran International. In a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the Security Council, the E3 foreign ministers reiterated their threats of reimposing international sanctions on Iran under the tenets of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, unless Tehran resumes talks or asks for a deadline extension. 'We have made it clear that if Iran is not willing to reach a diplomatic solution before the end of August 2025, or does not seize the opportunity of an extension, E3 are prepared to trigger the snapback mechanism,' the ministers wrote, according to Financial Times' report. The letter bears the signatures of French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Germany's Johann Wadephul, and Britain's David Lammy, and comes two months post the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, following their 12-day war. The Iranian mission to the UN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbass Araghchi had dismissed the threats, stating that the E3 nations lacked both the capability and the authority, to reimpose said sanctions. Nonetheless, Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has warned ministries and businesses to be prepared for the looming snapback sanctions which seem more and more likely. The leaked document by the Ministry cautioned that renewed sanctions would target arms sales, freeze overseas assets, and reimpose restrictions on industries such as oil, petrochemicals, banking, shipping, insurance and sensitive technologies. As a countering move, a senior Iranian lawmaker warned on Wednesday that the parliament could move to withdraw Iran from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if Western powers were to reimpose the UN sanctions. 'If the other side takes steps toward operationalizing the snapback mechanism and uses it, the Iranian parliament will definitely respond,' Manouchehr Mottaki, a member of parliament's economic committee, was quoted as saying by Iranian media. He said lawmakers were 'ready to pull the trigger' on an NPT exit, adding that the West had no legal grounds to restore sanctions under the 2015 nuclear deal and was using the threat only as leverage. 'If they make their threat a reality, in line with the guidance of the Supreme Leader, we will also make our threat a reality,' Mottaki said. UNI ANV

SC ruling raises MP's political temperature
Bhopal, Aug 13 (UNI) The Supreme Court's ruling in the case pertaining to the constitutional validity of Other Backward Classes reservation -- under the Madhya Pradesh Public Service (Reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs) Amendment Act, 2019 -- has raised the political temperature of the state. The apex court, while hearing the case yesterday, placed it in the 'top of the board' category and ruled that daily hearings would take place from September 23. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, Additional SG KM Nataraj and Advocate General Prashant Singh represented the state government. Reacting to the ruling, Congress state President Jitu Patwari wrote on social media, "Like the previous chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Mohan Yadav dispensation is keeping this crucial matter pending owing to political malice and a strategy. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shall have to pay a heavy price for violating the constitutional rights of Backward Classes and ruining the future of youth. This battle for social justice will be fought on every front by the Congress that shall stage a decisive struggle for OBC rights." Meanwhile, BJP state Media In-charge Ashish Agarwal described the ruling as the dispensation's victory. "There was a time when the then Chief Minister Kamal Nath would himself furnish false statistics. He made no lawyer stand in court so that the Backward Classes did not get their right," he alleged.
