Critical US-Iran nuclear talks on shaky ground
The future of high-stakes negotiations over Iran's nuclear program remains shrouded in uncertainty as the U.S. and Iran publicly clash over the terms of an interim agreement proposed by the Trump administration that is intended to pave the way for a longer-lasting deal. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, slammed that proposal during an address on Wednesday, saying it "contradicts our principle of power by 100%" and vowing that Iran would not agree to stop enriching uranium on its own soil, calling it "a key tool in the nuclear program." The Iranian foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, succinctly underscored Iran's terms in a post on X shortly after the Ayatollah's speech, writing "no enrichment, no deal." Iran's stance contrasts sharply with that of President Donald Trump, which he emphasized on his social media platform on Monday. "Under our potential Agreement -- WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. While the president and his Cabinet officials have repeatedly said Iran would be required to end enrichment activities under the terms of a deal, U.S. officials say that the initial interim proposal -- which is only intended to be a stepping stone to a broader agreement -- did not prohibit Iran from enriching uranium at low levels while a long-term solution to fuel Iran's civilian nuclear energy program could be established. Trump's post appeared to contradict the position staked out by his negotiators, and although Iran has not yet formally responded to the interim proposal, it remained unclear on Wednesday whether the U.S. would stand by all the terms in its initial offer. Whether delegations from Iran and the U.S. would meet for a sixth round of nuclear negotiations also remained unclear, although a U.S. official said a possible meeting in the coming days was under discussion. After holding a phone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, Trump signaled that he would look to Moscow to play a greater role in negotiations with Iran. "President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!" But optimism among both U.S. and Iranian officials appears to have cooled in recent days. An Iranian official, who spoke with ABC News on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations, said that the U.S.' proposed terms are "unreasonable, greedy and unconventional." "The U.S. constantly changes its positions, which has led to a growing accumulation of mistrust regarding its intentions and heightened uncertainty about its will and seriousness to fulfil commitments, assuming any agreement is even to be formed," they told ABC News. "This document is not even open to be reviewed or responded to," the official added. Iran is pushing for relief from sanctions that have badly damaged the national economy. This week, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Tehran needs guarantees regarding the "real end of the sanctions." That would include details on "how and through what mechanism" they would be lifted, Baghaei said, in remarks carried by the official IRNA news agency. Araghchi and Khamenei were downbeat on the U.S. proposal in comments this week. The document has "many ambiguities and questions," the Iranian foreign minister said in a Telegram post on Tuesday. "Many issues in this proposal are not clear," he added.

North Korea's Kim vows 'unconditional support' for Russia's war in Ukraine
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to "unconditionally support" Russia in its war in Ukraine and said he expected Moscow to emerge victorious, Pyongyang's state media said Thursday. North Korea has become one of Moscow's main allies during its more than three-year Ukraine offensive, sending thousands of troops and container-loads of weapons to help the Kremlin oust Ukrainian forces from Russia's Kursk border region. Meeting top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday, Kim said that Pyongyang would "unconditionally support the stand of Russia and its foreign policies in all the crucial international political issues including the Ukrainian issue", the Korean Central News Agency reported. Kim "expressed expectation and conviction that Russia would, as ever, surely win victory in the sacred cause of justice", KCNA said. The two sides agreed to "continue to dynamically expand" relations, the state news agency reported. Russia and North Korea signed a sweeping military deal last year, including a mutual defence clause, during a rare visit by Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the nuclear-armed North. Shoigu hailed the deal as "fully meeting the interests of both countries" during a visit in March. Around 600 North Korean soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded fighting for Russia, according to South Korean lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun, citing the country's intelligence service. North Korea in April confirmed for the first time that it had deployed troops to Russia to support Moscow's war in Ukraine -- and admitted that its troops had been killed in combat. South Korea has also accused the nuclear-armed North of sending significant volumes of weapons, including missiles, to help Russia's war effort. The visit was Shoigu's second to Pyongyang in less than three months. - Deepening ties - A multilateral sanctions monitoring group including South Korea, the United States, Japan and eight other countries last week condemned ties between Russia and North Korea as "unlawful". According to the group, Russian-flagged cargo vessels delivered as many as "nine million rounds of mixed artillery and multiple rocket launcher ammunition" from North Korea to Russia last year. In return, "Russia is believed to have provided North Korea with air defence equipment and anti-aircraft missiles", it said. The meeting between Kim and Shoigu in Pyongyang came the same day the North's arch-enemy South Korea swore in new president Lee Jae-myung. In a speech upon taking office Wednesday, Lee vowed to reach out to the North -- a marked departure from his hawkish predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol, under whom relations plummeted to their worst level in years. Lee said Seoul would "deter North Korean nuclear and military provocations while opening communication channels and pursuing dialogue and cooperation to build peace on the Korean Peninsula". KCNA reported on Lee's inauguration in a two-line report on Thursday but did not respond to his overtures for talks. It also issued a commentary Thursday slamming French President Emmanuel Macron over "imprudent" comments on Pyongyang's ties with Moscow, calling them "shocking claptrap". The commentary by analyst Choe Ju Hyun took aim at comments by the French leader during the recent Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Macron suggested that the NATO defence alliance could become involved in Asia if China did not do more to press North Korea to stop sending forces to help Russia's war in Ukraine. "It is a mistake if Macron thinks that he can cloak NATO's aggressive and wicked intention to put dirty military shoes on the Asia-Pacific region by taking issue with the DPRK-Russia cooperative relations," the commentary said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. bur-oho/ceb/tym
