Russia and North Korea Strengthen Support During High-Level Meeting
Lavrov flew to Wonsan from Malaysia, where he had attended a meeting with ASEAN foreign ministers. Wonsan is known for its beaches and resorts but also has military facilities, including missile and naval bases.
This visit is part of a series of recent efforts by Russia and North Korea to grow closer. The two countries are now working together under a new defense agreement.
Lavrov said they discussed the situation in Ukraine and that North Korea expressed strong support for Russia's goals and actions in the war.
At the same time, South Korea's intelligence agency has reported that North Korea may send more soldiers to help Russia. Over 10,000 North Korean troops are believed to have already joined Russian forces, and more could be sent in the coming months.
This meeting shows how Russia and North Korea are becoming stronger allies as they continue to challenge Western countries.

EU unveils blueprint for boosted 2-trillioneuro budget
The EU executive proposed yesterday a long-term budget boosted to two trillion euros ($2.3 trillion) as Europe confronts complex challenges, from overseas competition to Russian aggression at its borders. Presenting the 2028-2034 budget blueprint to reporters in Brussels, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said it 'will be the most ambitious ever proposed. It is more strategic, more flexible, more transparent'. In drawing up the plans, von der Leyen had to balance bolstering the bloc's security, ramping up Europe's competitiveness to keep up with US and Chinese rivals, countering climate change and paying debts due from 2028. And all of this was against a backdrop of soaring trade tensions with the European Union's biggest commercial partner, the United States. The European Commission announced a 451-billion-euro competitiveness fund to support the EU's investment efforts in clean tech, digital, defence and food security and innovation. As Europe pushes to rearm, the amounts dedicated to defence and space will increase five-fold -- to 131 billion euros. And the spending plan proposed earmarking up to 100 billion euros to support war-torn Ukraine over its seven-year period. 'This is a long-term commitment to Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction,' budget chief Piotr Serafin said. Hungary, Russia's closest ally in Europe, slammed the money for Kyiv. 'Ukraine would get a massive funding boost, while European farmers lose out,' Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said before the official announcement by the commission. The large farming subsidies that make up the biggest share of the budget, known as the common agricultural policy (CAP), are a subject of fierce debate. Serafin, however, said that under the commission's plans, 300 billion euros would be ring-fenced to support farmers, who have been worried about potential cuts to their slice of the pie. In the current seven-year budget, the CAP accounted for almost a third of funding -- around 387 billion euros, of which 270 billion euros are directly paid to farmers.

President Trump: 'Iran Wants to Talk, But I'm in No Rush.'
U.S. President Donald Trump said that Iran is showing a willingness to negotiate, but he's not in a hurry to talk with Tehran. Trump claimed that recent U.S. airstrikes had severely damaged Iran's nuclear facilities, which has weakened their position. 'They want to talk… but I'm not in a rush because we've already destroyed their sites,' Trump told journalists after arriving from Pittsburgh, referring to last month's airstrikes on Iranian nuclear locations. On the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Trump expressed skepticism over Russian President Vladimir Putin's intentions, saying, 'Putin hasn't lived up to his claims about wanting peace.' Trump also mentioned U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a potential replacement for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, though he added with a smile, 'He's a strong option — but maybe not, because I actually like the job Powell is doing.' Addressing Ukraine's military strategy, Trump advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to target Moscow. He urged Putin to agree to a ceasefire deal within 50 days, warning that failure to do so could result in new U.S. tariffs and sanctions, particularly against countries that continue to buy oil from Russia. When asked whether Zelensky should attack Moscow, Trump responded firmly: 'No, he should not target Moscow.' As for which side he supports, Trump replied, 'I'm not taking sides. I'm standing with humanity because I want the killing to stop.' He defended the 50-day timeline, arguing it's a reasonable window for negotiations. 'Fifty days isn't too long — in fact, it could happen sooner,' he said.

Iran Seizes Foreign Oil Tanker In Sea Of Oman
It remains important for energy traders to closely monitor the Strait of Hormuz and other key critical maritime chokepoints in the region (recall Red Sea events last week, given persistent geopolitical tensions involving Iran and Israel. Tehran retains a diverse toolkit—both asymmetric and conventional—for disrupting tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. These methods include naval mine deployment, anti-ship missile and drone launches, fast-attack craft swarms, and the seizure of vessels transiting the critical waterway responsible for 20% of the world's oil flows. Shortly after the U.S. launched 'Operation Midnight Hammer' in late June, deploying stealth bombers to strike Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, Iran's parliament voted to authorize the closure of the strait. However, Tehran never closed the strait, but there was at least one report we covered that said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps mulled over littering the waterway with mines. Given that the mines were not deployed, a troubling new report from local media indicates that the IRGC has intercepted and seized a foreign tanker in the Gulf of Oman. The seizure was reportedly carried out under the pretext of 'fuel smuggling,' according to Iranian state media outlet Mehr News Agency (MNA) on X. 'The Chief Justice of Hormozgan Province has announced the seizure of a foreign oil tanker on charges of smuggling 2 million liters of fuel in the Sea of Oman,' MNA reported. The Chief Justice of Hormozgan Province has announced the seizure of a foreign oil tanker on charges of smuggling 2 million liters of fuel in the Sea of Oman.#BREAKING #BreakingNews — Mehr News Agency (@MehrnewsCom) July 16, 2025 Here are more details from pro-Iranian news channel Al Mayadeen: 'Following persistent surveillance of suspected fuel smuggling operations off Iran's Sea of Oman coast, security forces boarded and searched a foreign oil tanker,' Ghahremani said. Iranian authorities confirmed the seizure of the foreign tanker after detecting irregularities in its cargo documentation, with security forces arresting 17 crew members, including the ship's captain, during the operation. The vessel was suspected of transporting two million liters of smuggled fuel through the Sea of Oman. Fuel smuggling via 'dark fleet' tankers has been a consistent tactic used by Iran to circumvent Western sanctions, with much of the crude oil ultimately making its way to China. Details about the seized vessel's ownership and final destination remain limited. Also read: Drone Attacks On Northern Iraqi Oil Field On The Rise Amid Iran Tensions
