Khamenei rejects US demand to halt uranium enrichment, calls it against Iran's interests
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks during a meeting with Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian and his cabinet in Tehran, Iran on August 27, 2024. PHOTO: REUTERS Listen to article Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that abandoning uranium enrichment was "100%" against the country's interests, rejecting a central US demand in talks to resolve a decades-long dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions. The US proposal for a new nuclear deal was presented to Iran on Saturday by Oman, which has mediated talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff. After five rounds of talks, several hard-to-bridge issues remain, including Iran's insistence on maintaining uranium enrichment on its soil and Tehran's refusal to ship abroad its entire existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium - possible raw material for nuclear bombs. Khamenei, who has the final say on all matters of state, said nothing about halting the talks, but said the US proposal "contradicts our nation's belief in self-reliance and the principle of 'We Can'". "Uranium enrichment is the key to our nuclear programme and the enemies have focused on the enrichment," Khamenei said during a televised speech marking the anniversary of the death of the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. "The proposal that the Americans have presented is 100% against our interests ... The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear programme. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have enrichment?," he added. Tehran says it wants to master nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and has long denied accusations by Western powers that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump says Putin told him Russia will respond to Ukrainian attack on airfields
US President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin told him 'very strongly' in a phone call on Wednesday that he will respond to Ukraine's weekend drone attack on Russian airfields. The US president said in a social media post that 'it was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.' The call that lasted for an hour and 15 minutes was Mr Trump's first known with Mr Putin since May 19. Satellite images show, from top, the Belaya Air Base before a Ukrainian drone attack in the Irkutsk region of eastern Siberia in Russia, and the damage afterwards (Maxar Technologies via AP) Mr Trump said he and Mr Putin also discussed Iran's nuclear programme. Ukraine's Security Service gave more details on Wednesday about its weekend drone strike on Russian air bases, which it claimed destroyed or damaged 41 Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers. The agency claimed the planes struck included A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22, Tu-160, An-12, and Il-78 aircraft, adding that artificial intelligence helped guide the drones thousands of kilometres from Ukraine. It also said it set off an explosion on Tuesday on the seabed beneath the Kerch Bridge, a vital transport link between Russia and illegally annexed Crimea, claiming it caused damage to the structure. But Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that there was no damage. Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday that its troops have taken control of another village in Ukraine's northern Sumy region, on the border with Russia. Mr Putin announced on May 22 that Russian troops aim to create a buffer zone that might help prevent Ukrainian cross-border attacks. Since then, Russia's Ministry of Defence claims its forces have taken control of nine Sumy villages.

Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About Love Island Star Sophie Lee
It's less than a week until Love Island is back on our screens for series twelve, and naturally everyone can't stop talking about the recently announced line-up. We've already been treated to a sneak peak of a trailer by host Maya Jama, which teased lots of new twists, plus a good dose of the usual drama, bombshells and breakups. What's more, 2025 will see Love Island celebrating its 10-year anniversary (how has it been that long?) One of the contestants taking part in series 12 of the show is former fire breather Sophie Lee, who people are predicting will make an impact in the villa. Sophie Lee is a former fire breather, influencer and motivational speaker. After suffering life-changing burns when she was 22, she has worked with Katie Piper's foundation and released a book in February last year, titled In My Skin. She has also developed a loyal social media following. At the time, she told her followers: 'It's been a difficult process being so open with the trauma I've faced and adversity I've had to overcome and to now be at a place of peace has not been easy,' continuing 'I hope that from sharing my experience of racial discrimination, feeling outcast throughout my life, battling depression and eventually reaching the process of surgery, it becomes a read that others find helpful in their own journeys.' Sophie Lee is 28, but she will reportedly be 29 when she enters the villa. Sophie Lee will be taking part in series 11 of Love Island. She will join the likes of personal trainer Aaron Buckett and influencer Megan Moore. According to a source quoted in The Sun, Sophie wants to appear on the show to advocate for body positivity. The source told the outlet: 'Sophie is a gorgeous girl and a powerhouse of a woman who has overcome everything life has thrown at her. Just like Tasha Ghouri's amazing time in the villa where she raised awareness for the hearing impaired, Love Island bosses are thrilled to give Sophie the same platform to discuss her accident and how she's become comfortable in her skin since.' They continued: 'Love Island has always tried to be about more than just looks and Sophie is a classic example of an Islander with real substance,' adding 'She's in the mix for this year's cast, with execs deciding soon if she will be in the original line-up or a bombshell.' When she was 22, Sophie was involved in a fire breathing accident in the US, which saw her suffer life-changing burns. The ordeal occurred in 2018 when an air conditioning unit blew flames into her face while she was performing at an event in Chicago. In an interview with The Sun, Sophie opened up about the terrifying experience. 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy,' she said. 'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits.' She added: 'That was a scary, scary time. I couldn't breathe by myself, I couldn't eat, I couldn't really see, it was scary. I was pretty out of it but on day two I looked in the mirror and just cried.' Sophie spent a month in intensive care in the US by herself while she was treated for the burns. She needed life support machines to help her breathe, and was in and out of consciousness. After the accident, Lucy also underwent keloid surgery on her face. She shared a video of her recovery on Instagram earlier this year, saying 'Although my tumour was benign and not cancerous, I had to endure stages of Chemo Injections as part of my treatment and I can first hand say that it was the hardest and most testing time of my life that I've ever experienced.' She added: 'I want to take this opportunity to wish all the families who have been affected by cancer my deepest love and prayers, I know how hard it is to remain hopeful during dark times of uncertainty. I'm grateful for all the support and love I have received from sharing my journey on this platform and I hope to continue to be a positive example that there is light at the end of the tunnel.' Yes!
