Araghchi begins talks with European Troika Foreign Ministers & Kallas in Geneva
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi began talks on Friday in Geneva with the foreign ministers of the three European "Troika" countries—Britain, France, and Germany—and the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, regarding the nuclear issue, at the request of the three European nations.
The Iranian news agency Tasnim reported the start of discussions between Iran's foreign minister, the European ministers, and the EU's foreign policy chief on the nuclear issue in Geneva.
Earlier, Araghchi confirmed that a meeting would be held on Friday between the Iranian delegation and the foreign ministers of the European Troika (Britain, France, Germany), along with the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, in the Swiss city of Geneva.
In a press statement, Araghchi confirmed reports in some media outlets about preparations for a joint meeting, clarifying that the meeting was requested by the three European countries and would focus on political developments, bilateral issues, and regional matters of mutual interest.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh announced Araghchi's visit to Geneva to discuss the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions.
Khatibzadeh reiterated the diplomatic institution's commitment to fully supporting the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in defending the country against the criminal aggression of the Zionist regime.
He stated, "A joint meeting with the three European countries and the EU's foreign policy chief is being planned at their request, aimed at discussing the nuclear issue and recent regional developments following the Zionist regime's military aggression against Iran."
This comes amid ongoing Zionist aggression since last Friday dawn, targeting Iran with attacks that have killed military leaders, scientists, and civilians, while striking civilian, military, and nuclear facilities.

Popular Front holds international community fully responsible for lives of activists on "Handhala" Ship
Gaza – Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) held the Zionist enemy and the international community fully responsible for the lives of the 14 freedom activists who were arrested when enemy forces intercepted the "Handhala" ship en route to break the siege on the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Front stated: "The Zionist piracy crime against these activists at sea, followed by their arrest and continued forced detention, constitutes a war crime that puts their lives at grave risk." The PFLP pointed out that the activists were subjected to severe physical violence by Zionist special forces and were denied the minimum humanitarian conditions in detention, including lack of ventilation amid extreme heat and the absence of basic sanitary supplies for women. It praised the courage of the detained activists, who refused to sign so-called "voluntary deportation" forms or pledge not to participate in such initiatives again, declaring an open-ended hunger strike in protest against their forced detention. The PFLP emphasized that the continued detention of these international activists sends a clear message to the world that this criminal entity poses a danger to all humanity. The atrocities it commits—genocide, starvation, and siege against the Palestinian people—surpass in brutality the crimes of fascist, Nazi, and racist regimes in history, with the Zionist entity exceeding them all in savagery and criminality. The Front called on the free world, its people, and solidarity movements to take urgent action in support of Gaza, to stop the genocide and famine, to continue pressuring for an end to the blockade, and to amplify the voices of the detained freedom activists worldwide.

EU Warns of Looming Famine in Yemen, Pledges Emergency Aid
The European Union has issued a stark warning about the escalating risk of famine in Yemen, calling the situation 'real and urgent' amid deepening humanitarian and economic crises. In response, the EU announced a €9 million emergency funding package to support the World Food Programme (WFP) and other humanitarian partners working in the region. The aid targets vulnerable communities in conflict-affected areas such as Hajjah, Taiz, and Hodeidah, where acute food insecurity has reached alarming levels. The funding will be used for malnutrition treatment, agricultural support, and livelihood restoration, with a particular focus on women and children. EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib emphasized the gravity of the crisis: 'Millions of Yemenis are on the brink of starvation. This funding is a lifeline to those most at risk. We urge all parties to facilitate humanitarian access and uphold international humanitarian law'. This initiative follows the 7th Senior Officials Meeting on Yemen held in Brussels, where the EU reaffirmed its commitment to coordinating international efforts to prevent famine and support long-term recovery. Since the outbreak of conflict in 2015, the EU has contributed nearly €1.6 billion in aid to Yemen, including food, health, education, and mine clearance programs. Humanitarian agencies warn that without sustained global support, famine could become widespread, especially as funding shortfalls force aid groups to scale back operations.
