Abbas Araghchi meets Saudi counterpart in Mecca
ALBAWABA- In a significant step toward regional diplomacy, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Tuesday at the Ministry's branch in Mecca. Also Read Two Missing, two injured after ship attacked off Yemen The meeting was Araghchi's first official visit to Saudi Arabia since attending the BRICS summit in Brazil, which indicates an easing of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran after years of tension. According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the visit aimed to deepen dialogue on bilateral ties and explore pathways to enhance regional peace and security. The two top diplomats discussed ongoing regional developments, including efforts to stabilize the Middle East amid escalating threats and political unrest. Araghchi's visit comes at a critical moment. In a sharply worded op-ed published by the Financial Times, the Iranian Foreign Minister criticized the United States' regional posture, claiming that 'America First' has effectively become 'Israel First.' He argued that true diplomacy must be built on mutual respect and warned against coercive policies masked as dialogue. 'Negotiations held under the shadow of war are inherently unstable,' Araghchi wrote, cautioning that real dialogue cannot exist while threats and third-party interference persist. He pointed to Israeli airstrikes on Iran and U.S. policy shifts as key factors derailing progress. Araghchi also revealed that U.S.-Iran nuclear talks had gained momentum in recent months, but claimed the diplomatic channel was disrupted just days before a crucial sixth round of talks by what he described as 'an unprovoked Israeli attack.' He expressed doubt over renewed U.S. engagement, citing the collapse of the 2015 nuclear agreement and the lack of trust after repeated setbacks. Despite his sharp criticism of the U.S. and Israel, Araghchi emphasized Iran's commitment to preventing a full-scale regional war and reiterated Tehran's openness to responsible diplomacy. He described recent conversations with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff as more productive than four years of prior negotiations.

Royal Jordanian Air Force Continues Firefighting Operations in Syria - Jordan News
Royal Jordanian Air Force Continues Firefighting Operations in Syria Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft are continuing intensive firefighting operations in Syria as wildfires persist across several areas for the seventh consecutive day. اضافة اعلان Operating in coordination with Syrian civil defense teams, the Jordanian air force has deployed two Black Hawk helicopters to assist in containing the fires, which have spread rapidly through forested and mountainous regions. The mission aims to prevent the further expansion of the blaze and to mitigate its impact on local communities and ecosystems. The deployment is part of Jordan's broader humanitarian support to Syria, as the country grapples with an escalating environmental and humanitarian crisis. According to official sources, the wildfires have proven difficult to contain due to rugged terrain, dense vegetation, and the presence of unexploded ordnance and landmines of previous conflicts. High winds have further complicated response efforts. Despite these challenges, both ground and aerial firefighting units continue to operate around the clock in an effort to protect lives, property, and natural reserves.
