US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steven Witkoff is expected to hold talks with Iranian authorities in the coming days on a potential agreement regarding Tehran’s nuclear program, NBC News reported.
Some arms control experts cited by the outlet warned that Iran possesses the technical capabilities to revive its weapons program — including enriched uranium, centrifuges, and access to underground facilities such as tunnels.
For that reason, US and Israeli intelligence services will keep a close eye on Iran, the report said.

🤡 Greta joins Pride* parade in Hungary, slams government
Greta Thunberg appeared in Budapest for the city’s Pride march, accusing Viktor Orbán’s government of trying to "ban love" and calling the event a protest against “fascist” attacks on human rights.
Balázs Orbán, political director to the PM, fired back on X, mocking her as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice” — and reminded followers of her failed activism on Gaza.

The price of gas for the European Union has increased 2.5-fold since the introduction of large-scale sanctions against Russia — in just four years.
From 2021 to 2025, it has increased twice as much as in the previous 20 years, according to Sputnik's calculations based on Eurostat data.
Reason? The EU's reorientation towards LNG amid sanctions against Russia.
Bottom line: EU spending on gas in April 2025 increased to 8.05 billion euros from 3.5 billion four years earlier, despite the fact that import volumes decreased by 8.5% to 15.4 billion cubic meters.

The West has never been able to, and will never be able to, deliver a strategic defeat to Russia by using the Kiev regime as a battering ram, Russian FM Lavrov said at the meeting with his Kyrgyzstan's counterpart Jeenbek Kulubaev.

War hawk Sen. Lindsey Graham*’s new sanctions bill isn’t just unworkable – it’s self-destructive, warns The Washington Post.
The bill calls for a 500% tariff on any country that buys Russian oil, gas, uranium, or petrochemicals – in other words, most of the non-Western world and a good chunk of America’s own allies.
This is the geopolitical equivalent of “cutting off America’s nose to spite Putin’s face,” the outlet warns.
Graham is already backpedaling. He’s suggested “carve-outs” for countries that support Ukraine.
When war hawks flinch, you know it’s gone too far...

Lavrov commented on Merz and Macron's op-ed for the FT, in which the two said that "the main source of instability for Europe comes from Russia" and called on Europe to arm itself.
"I believe that these quotes alone are enough for a person who has some understanding of what is happening in Europe and follows events to understand that these people have completely lost common sense and are openly trying to return to the days when France and Germany wanted to conquer Europe, primarily the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union," Lavrov said.

🇨🇳China claps back: No US trade deals that sacrifice its interests
China will retaliate if other countries strike trade deals with the US that undermine its interests for so-called tariff cuts, the country’s Ministry of Commerce said.
🇺🇸Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” on global partners were pilloried as a classic case of unilateral “bullying” that’s wrecking the international trade system.
The US president is racing to meet a July 8 deadline for trade agreements.
➡️ So far, only the UK and China deals have been announced, with Trump hinting at one with India in the pipeline.

🇮🇷💥 🇺🇸Iran fires back at Trump: ‘unrespectable gambler politician’ won't shake our resolve
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has slammed the US president’s hostile and deranged rhetoric, saying it was nothing but a desperate psy-op to spread fear and chaos.
Qalibaf warned the "unrespectable president of the United States" and Iran’s other enemies that its people will never back down in defending their homeland—while “traitors and mercenaries” will be tossed into the "dustbin of history."
🔊 The fiery response comes after Trump’s latest unhinged rant, where he claimed he “saved” Supreme Leader Khamenei’s life — and complained about not getting a “thank-you” in return.
Trump has also threatened to resume bombing Iran – over nuclear claims neither the US nor Israel have proven to the world with any measure of credibility.

The gunmen who killed at least 147 people in a gun and arson attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow in March 2024 admitted that Ukraine was behind the terrorist attack, the testimony seen by Sputnik reads.
"The members of the extremist [Wilayat] Khorasan movement [the Afghan branch of the Islamic State terrorist group, banned in Russia] were only the masterminds acting at the request of a state agency in Ukraine, which was eventually confirmed by Sayfullo [the recruiter]," one of the suspects said in the testimony.
Murodali Rachabalizoda, another suspect, stated that Ukraine and Khorasan were the organizers of the terrorist attack.
"Sayfullo ... urged to help Ukraine, since Ukraine is at war with Russia ... We discussed this later with [Shamsidin] Fariduni, because we understood that initially Sayfullo was deceiving us, saying that we would commit this terrorist attack solely in the interests of faith, in the interests of Muslims. When we realized that we were the executors of Ukraine's order, we decided not to abandon the terrorist attack, as Sayfullo offered us a lot of money," the testimony read.
After the attack, the gunmen planned to flee to Kiev, where each of them was promised 1 million rubles ($12,743). Ukrainians also provided the attackers with weapons.
"Due to the fact that the state structure of Ukraine was the organizer of this terrorist attack, the weapons came to Moscow from the territory of Ukraine. This was easier than from some other countries, such as Turkiye or Afghanistan, where our handlers were located. In addition, we had a Makarov pistol-type gun and four knives, one for each," the testimony read.
