Iran insists on diplomatic solution after Trump rejects peace plan

WASHINGTON/UNITED NATIONS/DUBAI, Sept 27,2026: Iran insisted on Sunday that only diplomacy can solve its conflict with the United States and Israel, after US President Donald Trump said he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting.

“Our conditions are clear, and any move toward reopening ‌the Strait of Hormuz is contingent on these conditions being met,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi posted on social media. “Only a negotiated solution can get them out of this deadlock.”

Iran announced a peace proposal last week at the UN General Assembly in New York, saying it had been transmitted to the Americans via Qatari mediators. Trump said on Saturday he rejected the plan, and argued that desperation was driving the Iranians’ push for an agreement on the key waterway.

“They want to make a deal to open the Hormuz Strait immediately because they’re losing so badly,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Keeping the door to diplomacy open, however, Trump told Axios in a phone interview on Sunday that he expected US negotiators to engage in more talks this week.

Araqchi said mediators facilitating Tehran’s talks with Washington had not officially relayed a US rejection of the plan.

“We are waiting for the mediators to convey the definitive views ⁠to us, and we will make a decision based on them,” Araqchi posted.

The US has imposed an economic blockade on Iran to put pressure on Tehran to stop Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which have drastically reduced shipping through the area even as Trump repeatedly asserts that the US controls the waterway.

The commander-in-chief of Iran’s army, Amir Hatam, said the war was at a critical and decisive stage, adding that Tehran would not accept a situation in which it was unable to trade while foreign powers used the region’s strategic waterways.

“If Iran cannot trade, if Iran cannot live, no one will be able to trade or live,” he said, in comments reported by state media.
SAUDI ARABIA DRAWN DEEPER INTO WAR

Previous attempts at diplomacy have failed to end the war, which began on February 28 with US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

Since then it has alternated between pauses and renewed strikes, killing thousands while degrading the conventional forces of Iran and damaging its already ailing economy.

Iran and its allies have responded by extending the conflict throughout the region. Iran has struck US allies in the Gulf with drones and missiles, while its Houthi allies in Yemen have hit Saudi interests.

Saudi Arabia, the largest of the Gulf states, has been drawn deeper into the war this month as Houthi fighters have advanced in Yemen, routing forces of the Saudi-backed government and threatening Saudi oil exports through the Red Sea.

The Iran-backed Houthis have repeatedly fired into Saudi ‌Arabia and, ⁠in a possible sign of further escalation, parents in Riyadh received notices from schools on Sunday saying classes would shift to remote learning for the week, according to people who received the messages.

The notice did not give a reason for the decision. Saudi authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yemen’s Houthi-run health ministry, meanwhile, said seven people were killed and 40 wounded, including children, in a strike on shops at a market at the Mawiya junction in Taiz province, in the southwest.

Later, Yemen’s internationally recognised government said its forces had targeted a Houthi military camp and vehicles at the same junction.
CONFLICT HAS DISRUPTED OIL FLOWS, HARMED GLOBAL ECONOMY

The Iranians also engaged their Saudi rivals regarding the Strait of Hormuz during the brief flurry of diplomacy in New York, underscoring the stakes of a seven-month-old ⁠conflict that has disrupted oil flows through a critical shipping lane and taken a toll on the global economy.

Araqchi told reporters at the UN on Friday the proposed deal would trigger a seven-day countdown to reopening the strait and a pause in regional fighting.

“If there is seriousness on the US side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared,” Araqchi said. If the US were to agree, the warring parties could start wider talks “on mutually agreed subjects.”

That could potentially include discussions of Iran’s nuclear programme. Trump ⁠has cited preventing Tehran from ever acquiring a nuclear bomb as a key goal, along with ending its ability to attack its neighbours and creating conditions for Iranians to topple their leadership.

US envoy to the United Nations Mike Waltz said on Sunday in an interview with CNN’s State of the Union that Trump had rejected the Iranian proposal because it required the immediate lifting of sanctions and release of frozen assets.

Om Birla forms ‘Parliamentary Friendship Groups’ with over 60 countries

New Delhi , February 23,22026: In a push to expand India’s parliamentary diplomacy, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has constituted Parliamentary Friendship Groups with over 60 countries, aiming to deepen engagement between India’s legislature and parliaments across the world.The initiative seeks to “widen India’s inter- parliamentary engagement with the world” according to a release by the Lok Sabha secretariat.It said, the move reflects a conscious effort by the Indian Parliament to deepen dialogue and exchanges with legislatures across continents and to complement traditional diplomacy with sustained parliamentary interaction.The Friendship Groups bring together Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum. The group will be led by senior leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad, M Thambidurai, P Chidambaram, Ram Gopal Yadav, TR Baalu, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Gaurav Gogoi, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, Manish Tiwari, Derek O’Brien, Abhishek Banerjee, Asaduddin Owaisi, Akhilesh Yadav, KC Venugopal, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Supriya Sule, Sanjay Singh, Baijayant Panda, Shashi Tharoor, Nishikant Dubey, Anurag Singh Thakur, Bhartruhari Mahtab, D. Purandeswari, Sanjay Kumar Jha, Hema Malini, Biplab Kumar Deb, Sudhanshu Trivedi, Jagdambika Pal, Sasmit Patra, Aparajita Sarangi, Shrikant Eknath Shinde, PV Midhun Reddy and Praful Patel.The countries with whom Parliamentary Friendship Groups have been constituted include Sri Lanka, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, South Africa, Bhutan, Saudi, Israel, Maldives, USA, Russia, EU Parliament, South Korea, Nepal, United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy, Oman, Australia, Greece, Singapore, Brazil, Vietnam, Mexico, Iran and UAE. The idea behind the initiative is to allow lawmakers to speak directly to their counterparts abroad, share legislative experience, and build trust through regular engagement and exchange best practices to further strengthen bilateral relations and promote greater mutual understanding.Beyond parliamentary procedure, the groups are expected to facilitate conversations on trade, technology, social policy, culture, and global challenges that democracies face today. Speaker Om Birla has consistently emphasised the role of parliamentary diplomacy in strengthening India’s global standing, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said. “By prioritising Parliament-to-Parliament and people-to-people connections, this initiative signals a more participatory approach to foreign engagement. The Friendship Groups will enable structured exchanges through dialogues, study visits, and joint discussions, helping to sustain long-term cooperation rooted in democratic values. In doing so, the Indian Parliament reinforces its role as a bridge between nations and as a living reflection of the world’s largest democracy,” it said.”While friendship groups have been constituted with more than 60 countries in the first phase, efforts are being made to constitute these groups with many more countries in the near future,” the Lok Sabha Secretariat said.

Bangladesh to resume tourist visa services for Indians from Monday

Dhaka [Bangladesh], February 22,2026: Tourist visa services from Bangladeshi diplomatic missions located in India will resume on Monday, a Bangladesh Foreign Ministry official stated on Sunday.The Bangladesh government had suspended tourist visa services from its diplomatic missions in India due to security reasons. However, after the Bangladesh election, the situation has improved, and the visa service will be fully resumed from Monday.”Including the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi, and in various cities of India such as Guwahati, Agartala, Mumbai and Kolkata–wherever Bangladeshi diplomatic missions are located–apart from tourist visas, other visa services were mostly ongoing. However, tourist visas had generally been stopped, though they were still issued in urgent cases,” a Bangladesh Foreign Ministry official said on Sunday.

“Although we did not formally announce it as stopped, we are not formally announcing it as resumed either; in fact, it was ongoing and will now be expanded widely from Monday,” the official told. Additionally, around the election held in Bangladesh on February 12, the Bangladesh government had instructed its missions in India to suspend tourist visas from January 15 to February 15. In urgent cases, visas were issued. Apart from India, due to security reasons, services were also completely stopped for countries such as Bhutan and Nepal. Now, after reviewing the overall situation, all types of visas, including tourist visas, are being fully resumed from all places from Monday.Indian visa services for Bangladeshis are still suspended–specifically tourist visa services, though some categories remain ongoing.
During the period of the interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, relations between India and Bangladesh had deteriorated. However, after the February 12 election, when the government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took office, there are signs of improvement in relations. At the swearing-in ceremony of the new cabinet after the election, a high-level Indian delegation led by Speaker Om Birla participated and met with the Prime Minister.

Hope Iran is going to be more reasonable: Trump ahead of Nuclear talks

Washington, Feb 17,2026: US President Donald Trump on Monday said he would be involved “indirectly” in high-level nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran, set for Tuesday in Geneva. He also urged Iran to be “reasonable” during the discussions, reminding Tehran of the June 2025 B‑2 bomber strike on its nuclear facilities.

“I’ll be involved in those talks, indirectly. And they’ll be very important,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.”I hope they’re going to be more reasonable,” Trump added.

The upcoming Geneva session marks a continuation of the nuclear dialogue, with US envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner expected to attend.

When asked about the potential for an agreement, Trump said Iran has historically taken a hard line but learned lessons from last summer’s US strikes on its nuclear sites. He suggested Tehran is now more inclined to negotiate.

Before the US strikes in June, negotiations had stalled over Washington’s insistence that Iran halt uranium enrichment that can lead toward nuclear weapons capability.

“”I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal,” Trump said. “It will be very important. Iran is a tough negotiator, but I would say they are bad negotiators, as we could have had a deal instead of sending out B-2s (B-2 Bombers) to knock out their nuclear potential. I hope they are going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal… We have peace in the Middle East. You will see some flames here and there, but we essentially have peace in the Middle East. That happened because we did a B-2 attack on the nuclear potential. They would have had a nuclear weapon within one month. If that happened, it would have been a whole different deal,” Trump said, referencing the stealth bombers used in the attacks.

The talks follow the initial indirect round in Oman on February 6, during which Iran insisted on the right to enrich uranium, while the US sought broader discussions on missiles and regional proxies, including Hezbollah. Both sides described the first meeting as a “good start,” despite lingering differences.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasised that President Trump favors diplomatic solutions and that the administration remains focused on negotiations.

Iran conducted a military exercise on Monday in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping lane and oil route from Gulf nations, which have been advocating for diplomacy to ease tensions.

These remarks differ from comments he made on Friday, when he suggested regime change in Iran and criticized decades of stalled negotiations.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog in Geneva, posting on X that he was there to “achieve a fair and equitable deal.”

“What is not on the table: submission before threats,” Araqchi said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly requested clarity on Iran’s 440 kg (970 pounds) stockpile of highly enriched uranium following last year’s Israeli-U.S. strikes and has sought full access to the sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.

Iran has warned it may close the Strait of Hormuz in response to any attack, which would disrupt roughly one-fifth of global oil exports and drive up crude prices.

Washington wants to discuss non-nuclear issues, such as Iran’s missile program, but Tehran insists its missile capabilities are off the table and will only discuss nuclear restrictions in return for sanctions relief.

During a visit to Hungary on Monday, Rubio described reaching a deal with Tehran as challenging.

“I think that there’s an opportunity here to diplomatically reach an agreement … but I don’t want to overstate it either,” Rubio said.

“It’s going to be hard. It’s been very difficult for anyone to do real deals with Iran, because we’re dealing with radical Shia clerics who are making theological decisions, not geopolitical ones. Doing a deal with Iran is not easy,” Rubio said.

Iran is run by “radical Shia clerics” who “make policy decisions on the basis of pure theology,” he added.

Still, Rubio said the U.S. remains committed to diplomacy: “We’ve always said it’s hard, but we’re going to try. That’s what the president (Donald Trump) is trying.”

“I’m certainly not going to negotiate with Iran here in front of the press and on the stage. Our negotiators are on their way there now. They’ll have meetings. We’ll see what happens,” he said.

“The president always prefers peaceful outcomes and negotiated outcomes to things,” Rubio added.

“I think there’s an opportunity here to diplomatically reach an agreement that addresses the things we’re concerned about.”

Iran roundly rejects “baseless” accusations by G7

Tehran, Feb 17,2025: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Sunday completely rejected recent “baseless and irresponsible” accusations by the Group of Seven (G7) against Iran.

On Saturday, G7 foreign ministers and the EU high representative issued a statement following a meeting held on the margins of the Munich Security Conference, in which they accused Iran of carrying out “destabilizing actions, including its rapid advancement of uranium enrichment without credible civil justification, facilitation of terrorism organizations and armed groups across the Middle East and the Red Sea and violation of fundamental human rights.”

They also denounced Iran’s “proliferation of ballistic missiles and drones” in the statement.

The G7 countries’ arms and financial support for Israel and their military and political interference in West Asia are the real “destabilizing” actions in the region, Baghaei said in a statement, urging those countries to stop their “meddlesome” policies so as to restore regional stability and security.

The Iranian government has “legitimate right and legal responsibility” to defend Iran’s people, territorial integrity and national sovereignty against any threat and aggression, Baghaei said, stressing that expanding Iran’s military and defensive capabilities based on international laws and regulations is necessary to those ends, and also to peace and security in West Asia.

Iran designed and is implementing peaceful nuclear activities according to its technical and industrial needs as well as international rights and obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, he said.

Hamas confirms 3 Gaza captives to be freed

CAIRO,Feb 14,2025: Hamas said Thursday it would go ahead with the release of three more Israeli hostages, paving the way toward resolving a major dispute over the ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip.

The militant group had threatened to delay the next release of captives after accusing Israel of failing to meet its obligations to allow in tents and shelters, among other alleged violations of the truce. Israel, with the support of U.S. President Donald Trump, has said it will resume fighting if the hostages are not freed, but did not immediately comment on the statement by Hamas.
The announcement from Hamas could allow the ceasefire to continue for now, even after Israel said Thursday that a rocket had been launched from Gaza. But doubts remain about the long-term durability of the truce.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was meeting Thursday with top military and security officials at the army’s Southern Command headquarters near the Gaza border.

Hamas said it held talks in Cairo with Egyptian officials and was in contact with Qatar’s prime minister about bringing in more shelters, medical supplies, fuel and heavy equipment for clearing vast amounts of rubble in Gaza — its key demand in recent days. It said in a statement that the mediators had pledged to “remove all hurdles.”

Shortly after the announcement, Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou confirmed to The Associated Press by phone that three hostages will be released on Saturday, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.

Egypt’s state-run Qahera TV, which is close to the country’s security services, reported that Egypt and Qatar had succeeded in resolving the dispute. The two Arab countries have served as key mediators with Hamas and helped broker the ceasefire, which took effect in January, more than 15 months into the war.

India, Pakistan exchange list of nuclear installations, facilities

New Delhi, Jan 1,2024: India and Pakistan on Wednesday exchanged, through diplomatic channels, simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad, the list of Nuclear Installations and facilities in each other’s territory.

The exchange is covered under the Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installation and Facilities between India and Pakistan, a statement said.

The Agreement, which was signed on 31 December 1988 and entered into force on 27 January 1991 provides, inter alia, that India and Pakistan inform each other of the nuclear installations and facilities to be covered under the Agreement on the first of January of every calendar year.

This is the 34th consecutive exchange of such lists between the two countries, the first one having taken place on January 1, 1992, the statement added.

Saudi armed forces chief visits Iranian counterpart for rare meeting

Nov 11,2024: Saudi Arabia’s top military official has visited Tehran for talks with Iranian officials in a rare high-level meeting since the countries restored ties last year, Iran’s state media reported,

General Chief of Staff Fayyad al-Ruwaili of the Saudi armed forces met his Iranian counterpart, General Mohammad Bagheri, at the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff Headquarters in Tehran on Sunday, Iran’s official news agency IRNA reported.

“The development of defence diplomacy and the expansion of bilateral cooperation are among the main topics of this meeting,” it added.

The country’s Fars news agency said that Bagheri called for increased security cooperation between the two countries at the meeting.

“We would like the Saudi navy to join Iranian naval exercises next year, either as participants or observers,” Fars quoted Bagheri as saying.

Separately, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the phone, Iranian media said.

India summons Canadian HC representative to protest baseless references to Home Minister Amit Shah

New Delhi, Nov 2,2024: India summoned the representative of the Canadian High Commission yesterday and handed over a diplomatic note to convey its protest in the strongest terms about the absurd and baseless references made to Union Home Minister Amit Shah by Deputy Minister David Morrison.

“In fact, the revelation that high Canadian officials deliberately leaked unfounded insinuations to the international media as part of a conscious strategy to discredit India and influence other nations only confirms the view that Government of India has long held about the current Canadian Government’s political agenda and behavioral pattern.

“Such irresponsible actions will have serious consequences for bilateral ties,” the MEA spokesperson said.

Morrison, while testifying on October 29 before MPs on the public safety and national security committee, when asked to comment that Canadian officials identified Home Minister Amit Shah as one of the senior officials who authorized intelligence-gathering missions and attacks on Sikh separatists in Canada, confirmed the news.

“The journalists called me and asked me if it was that person. I confirmed it was that person,” Morrison told the MPs on the panel.

On Canada describing India as a “cyber adversary” in its National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026, the MEA spokesperson said that it “appears to be another example of a Canadian strategy to attack India”.

“As I mentioned earlier, their senior officials have openly confessed that they are seeking to manipulate global opinion against India. As on other occasions, imputations are made without any evidence.”

He also said that surveillance is being done by Canada on Indian Officials there, and that India has formally protested to the Canadian Government regarding that.

“Some of our Consular officials were recently informed by the Canadian Government that they have been and continued to be under audio and video surveillance. Their communications have also been intercepted.

“We have formally protested to the Canadian Government as we deem these actions to be a flagrant violation of relevant diplomatic and consular conventions.

“By citing technicalities, the Canadian Government cannot justify the fact that it is indulging in harassment and intimidation. Our diplomatic and consular personnel are already functioning in an environment of extremism and violence. This action of the Canadian Government aggravates the situation and is incompatible with established diplomatic norms and practices.”

On the sudden cancellation of Diwali celebrations by the opposition leader Pierre Poilievre that were scheduled to take place at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the spokesperson said:

“We have seen some reports in this regard. It is unfortunate that the prevailing atmosphere in Canada has reached high levels of intolerance and extremism.”

On reports that Canada is issuing fewer visas that was affecting Indian students, he said:

“We are obviously monitoring the well-being of students and temporary workers from India who are currently in Canada. Our concern for their safety and security remains strong.”

Joint Secretary (Americas) Nagaraj Naidu, Ministry of External Affairs and Joint Secretary (International Cooperation) Vishwesh Negi, Ministry of Defense co-chaired the intersessional with US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu and US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Jedidiah P. Royal, a statement said.

The officials also had an opportunity to exchange assessments on a range of regional and international issues.

The 2+2 intersessional laid the groundwork in the lead up to the next 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue to advance the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership,” the statement added.

The US readout said:

“The 2+2 Intersessional Dialogue advanced shared priorities, including defense cooperation, space and civil aviation collaboration, clean energy cooperation, and industrial and logistics coordination.

“The officials discussed a range of issues, across the Indo-Pacific and worldwide, including support for a just and durable peace in Ukraine, as well as support for a ceasefire and humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

Assistant Secretary Lu and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Royal reiterated the United States’ commitment to further enhancing ongoing partnerships and expanding people-to-people ties.”

India offers to undertake $50,000 worth quick impact projects in each of 14 Pacific Island Countries

Nukuʻalofa (Tonga)/New Delhi, Aug 29,2024: India on Thursday offered to undertake a Quick Impact Project in each of the 14 Pacific Island Countries, based on each country’s choice, worth USD 50,000.

The offer was made by Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita, in his address at the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Dialogue Partners Session, in Nukuʻalofa, the capital of Tonga, which is hosting the PIF.

“As part of our continuous solidarity with our Pacific Partner Countries and the Pacific Islands Forum, I am pleased to announce that Government of India will undertake one Quick Impact Project or QIP of each country’s choice worth USD 50,000 in each of the 14 Pacific Island Countries. We will be happy to receive proposals in this regard from the respective countries,” he said.

He reaffirmed India’s strong commitment to work closely with the Pacific partner Countries and the Pacific Islands Forum, as the foremost regional mechanism, in line with the priorities outlined in the 2050 Strategy to help build a stronger, more resilient and prosperous Blue Pacific Continent.

Margherita said that India’s multifaceted engagement with the Blue Pacific Continent is anchored in its Act East Policy, and is strengthened both bilaterally and through different mechanisms such as the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC).

He highlighted the significance that India attaches to the relationship.

India’s bilateral development partnership in the form of grant-in-aid projects is worth about USD 3 million per annum. These are demand-driven and have had high impact in the 14 Pacific partner countries.

At the 3rd FIPIC Summit held in Papua New Guinea last year, Prime Minister Modi announced a 12 Point Action Plan which includes the setting up of a 100-bedded regional Super-specialty Hospital in Suva, Fiji, a Regional IT and Cyber Security Training Hub in Papua New Guinea, 1,000 Scholarships over the next five years, supply of Dialysis Units, and Generic Medicine Pharmacy outlets.
India leads a number of global initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and the Green Grids Initiative — One Sun, One World, One Grid, the Infrastructure for Resilient Island States (IRIS), the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), and the Global Biofuel Alliance which benefit our Pacific partners.

India is committed to responding to the vulnerabilities caused by natural hazards in the Pacific, the MoS added.
