Pakistan drops a shocker over Iran's nuclear programme, decides to..., US president Trump might...
Support for the nuclear programme from Pakistan is of special importance to Iran, as Israel and America have constantly raised questions on Iran's nuclear programme. Israel and America also bombed Iran's nuclear bases in June after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. In such a situation, Sharif's statement on the nuclear issue can also anger Trump. What did the Iran-Pak joint statement say?
According to Dawn, Shehbaz Sharif and Masoud Pezeshkian have signed several agreements on Sunday, 03 August 2025. The two countries signed documents to realise the potential of the $10 billion trade target. In a joint press conference with Pezeshkian, Shehbaz Sharif condemned Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear sites on June 13. What did Shehbaz Sharif say?
Shehbaz Sharif said that Israel attacked Iran without any reason, and provocation. 'This attack was condemned not only by the government but also by the entire 24 crore Pakistani people because Israel had no logic for this attack.' Sharif also expressed condolences to the Iranian generals, scientists and civilians killed in Israeli attacks. What did Shehbaz say on Iran's nuclear programme?
Shehbaz Sharif said during this time that Iran has the right to run its nuclear programme for peaceful purposes under the United Nations Charter. He said that this has been Pakistan's principled stand, and Pakistan will maintain its stand. He also talked about taking effective steps together with Iran on terrorism.
Iranian President Pezeshkian thanked the government and people of Pakistan for supporting Iran during the Israeli attack. Pezeshkian said that advancing neighbourhood policy has been a priority of Iran's foreign policy. 'Pakistan is not only our neighbour but also a brotherly country.'

Gaza Civil Defence Says Israeli Attacks Kill 68 In 24 Hours
Gaza City: Gaza's civil defence agency said 68 people were killed by Israeli gunfire and air strikes on Tuesday, including 56 who were waiting near aid distribution sites inside the Palestinian territory. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 30 people were killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid near the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. The army told AFP that troops "fired warning shots" in the direction "a gathering of Gazans advancing" towards them in the so-called Morag corridor in the south, but added it was "not aware of any casualties as a result". Bassal said another 20 people were killed and 100 wounded by Israeli fire near the Zikim border crossing in northern Gaza, through which some aid trucks have entered the territory in recent weeks. An AFP journalist reported seeing at least a dozen bodies brought to northern Gaza's Hamad Hospital, where a medical source said the victims had been killed in the incident near Zikim. The army told AFP it was looking into the details of the incident. According to Bassal, six more people were killed and 21 injured by Israeli fire in central Gaza while waiting for food near a distribution centre. The Israeli army, however, denied having opened fire near any aid site in central Gaza on Tuesday. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence and the army. Thousands of Gazans gather daily near food distribution points across Gaza, including four belonging to the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Since launching in late May, its operations have been marred by near-daily reports of Israeli forces firing on those waiting to collect rations. Israeli restrictions on the entry of supplies into Gaza since the start of the war nearly 22 months ago have led to shortages of food and essential goods, including medicine and fuel, which hospitals rely on to power their generators. - 'No safety' - Bassal said another five people were killed in a predawn air strike on a tent in Al-Mawasi in south Gaza, an area Israeli authorities designated as a safe zone early in the war. "It's said to be a green zone and it's safe, but it's not. They also say that the aid (distribution) is safe, but people die while obtaining aid," said Adham Younes, 30, who lost a relative in the strike. "There's no safety within the Gaza Strip, everyone is exposed to death, everyone is subject to injury." Mahmud Younes, who said he witnessed the strike, told AFP: "We found women screaming -- they were covered in blood. The entire family has been injured." Bassal also reported six people killed in a strike near Gaza City, and one in another near Khan Yunis. The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said in a statement Tuesday that they had bombarded an Israeli command-and-control centre in south Gaza's Israeli-controlled Morag corridor. The army said it had no record of such an attack taking place on Tuesday.

UN warns expanded Israeli Gaza war risks 'catastrophic consequences'
A top UN official warned Tuesday that expanding Israeli military operations inside Gaza would risk "catastrophic consequences," as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly considered total occupation of the Palestinian territory. Palestinians rush to the scene as air pallets, carrying humanitarian aid, parachute down after being dropped from a military plane over Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip during an airdrop mission above the Israel-besieged Palestinian territory on August 5, 2025.(AFP) A widening of the war "would risk catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians and could further endanger the lives of the remaining hostages in Gaza," Miroslav Jenca, UN assistant secretary-general for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, told a Security Council meeting. "There is no military solution to the conflict in Gaza or the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Jenca said. During a visit to an army training facility earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu said: "It is necessary to complete the defeat of the enemy in Gaza, to free all our hostages and to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel." Over the 22 months of war, Israeli forces have devastated large parts of the Gaza Strip, where repeated warnings of famine have increased pressure on Netanyahu's government to halt the fighting. The war was sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to a tally based on official figures. Palestinian militants also seized 251 hostages, 49 of whom remain held in Gaza including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. The Israeli offensive has killed at least 61,020 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry.

US Should Not Burn Relationship With "Strong Ally Like India": Nikki Haley
New York: The US should not burn its relationship with a "strong ally like India" and give a pass to China, Indian-American Republican leader Nikki Haley said on Tuesday, amid President Donald Trump's attacks against New Delhi over tariffs and purchases of Russian oil. "India should not be buying oil from Russia. But China, an adversary and the number one buyer of Russian and Iranian oil, got a 90-day tariff pause," Nikki Haley said in a post on X. "Don't give China a pass and burn a relationship with a strong ally like India," she said. Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, was the US Ambassador to the United Nations under Trump's first presidential term, becoming the first Indian-American to be appointed to a cabinet-level post in the US administration. In 2013, she officially announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election and withdrew from the race in March last year. Her comments came hours after Trump said India has not been a "good trading partner" and announced he will raise tariffs on India "very substantially over the next 24 hours" because New Delhi is buying Russian oil and "fueling" the "war machine". India on Monday mounted an unusually sharp counterattack on the US and the European Union for their "unjustified and unreasonable" targeting of New Delhi for its procurement of Russian crude oil. New Delhi's response came after Trump asserted that Washington will substantially raise tariffs on goods from India over its energy ties with Russia. Meanwhile, Trump, in an interview with CNBC responded to a question on China and its leader, Xi Jinping, and said, "We have a very good relationship". Trump added that he might have a meeting with the Chinese President "before the end of the year, most likely, if we make a deal." He said he won't have a meeting if a deal doesn't materialise. "But we're getting very close to a deal. We're getting along with China very well." Trump added that China is "very reliant" on the US. "My relationship with them is very good. I think we'll make a good deal. It's not imperative, but I think we're going to make a good deal." He added that he has had a "great relationship" with President Xi. "We respect him a lot. They respect us a lot." (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
