Iran committed to nuclear NPT, says Araghchi
On Wednesday, Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, a move the United States described as "unacceptable". On June 25, a day after a ceasefire took hold, Iranian lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend cooperation with the Vienna-based IAEA. State media confirmed on Wednesday that the legislation had now taken effect. The law aims to "ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran" under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media. — AFP

Minimum age for social media to be put on EU agenda
AARHUS, Denmark: A possible minimum age for the use of social media is to be discussed at a European level, Danish Minister for Europe Marie Bjerre announced. Denmark is currently holding the rotating European Union presidency and in charge of hosting discussions of EU ministers. It was visible how social media affects children and well-being, Bjerre told journalists in Aarhus. This was probably the only area where more regulation was needed, she said. In Germany, a representative survey by the opinion research institute YouGov recently revealed that more than 70 per cent of respondents would like to see a minimum age for access to social media such as Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. According to the survey, 57 per cent said they were in favour of a minimum age of 16 for using social media, while 16 per cent were even of a minimum age of 18. The issue however is controversial among German politicians. While German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig, from the left-leaning SPD, is in favour of an age limit, conservative CSU leader Markus Söder argued against it. He recently called the idea 'total rubbish' and 'out of touch with reality' in an interview with public service broadcaster ARD. A ban would make social media platforms even more interesting for young people and children. Those in favour of age limits point to the addictive potential of social media. There are also calls for reliable age verification systems for content that is not suitable for children and young people. The European Commission is already working on a verification app for this purpose. It should make it easier for online platforms to restrict access for children and young people. Meanwhile, Denmark promised on Thursday to push for Ukraine to join the EU, as the Nordic country welcomed Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to mark the start of its six-month EU presidency. Ukraine launched its bid to become an EU member in the aftermath of Russia's 2022 war, but it has stalled because of opposition from Hungary. "We must strengthen Ukraine. And we must weaken Russia," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement, promising to mix increased military support to Kyiv with sanctions on Moscow. Frederiksen has stressed the importance of European security, which she links to a strict migration policy, and the country has promised to push the agenda and champion Ukraine during its EU presidency. The Aarhus meeting comes as the United States announced it would stop supplying some weapons to Ukraine, after President Donald Trump effectively nixed the country's attempts to join the Nato military alliance. - dpa/AFP

Isolation amidst globalisation
The US has long stood as a pioneer of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation (LPG), spearheading major policy shifts and contributing significantly to global institutions like the UN, WTO and WHO. Known for extending Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status — a founding principle of the WTO — the US has often used this tool to cement trade ties, even with rivals like China, Russia and Belarus. However, MFN status has also been strategically withheld, as in the cases of Cuba and North Korea. Despite its pivotal global role, recent US developments reveal a surprising turn towards isolationism. As former UK prime minister Tony Blair aptly stated, 'The only exception to globalisation is isolation'. Though full economic data is yet to emerge, global sentiment suggests a US retreat from its once-central position in international trade. The shift likely reflects changes in political leadership in early 2025 and evolving politico-economic priorities. Signs of this distancing include threats to reduce or withdraw funding from international organisations, engagement in tariff wars and a more selective stance on geopolitical conflicts — all under the banner of 'America First'. With the US accounting for 15-26 per cent of global GDP and around 8 per cent of global trade in 2022, its retreat disrupts global markets and alarms trading partners like India, Canada and China. Domestically, strict immigration crackdowns reinforce this inward focus. From January to June 2025, over 100,000 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested — an average of 750 per day, double the previous decade's rate — with approximately 200,000 deportations by May. Additionally, visa restrictions have tightened, including bans under security pretexts. Nevertheless, the world economy remains 3–5.5 times larger than the US economy. To mitigate overdependence, experts urge diversification and the rise of alternative power centres. As the US share in global trade declines, emerging markets strengthen ties. Recent meetings among China, Japan and South Korea explored ways to bypass US tariffs. Meanwhile, BRICS continues expanding, even contemplating an alternative currency to challenge the US dollar. While the US recalibrates its global stance, other economies adapt — and in doing so, signal a shift towards a more multipolar world order.

Iran committed to nuclear NPT, says Araghchi
TEHRAN: Iran on Thursday affirmed its commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, as it accused Germany of "malice" over its criticism of Tehran's decision to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. "Iran remains committed to the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and its Safeguards Agreement," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X. "The explicit German support for the bombing of Iran has obliterated the notion that the German regime harbours anything but malice towards Iranians," he added in response to a German foreign office post criticising the move. On Wednesday, Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, a move the United States described as "unacceptable". On June 25, a day after a ceasefire took hold, Iranian lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend cooperation with the Vienna-based IAEA. State media confirmed on Wednesday that the legislation had now taken effect. The law aims to "ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran" under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media. — AFP
