US envoy Barrack: Iran-Israel war opens door for Mideast peace
Shafaq News – Damascus On Sunday, the United States envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, described the recent military confrontation between Iran and Israel as a potential turning point for the Middle East, anticipating that a ceasefire in Gaza could be announced in the near future. In remarks to Turkiye's Anadolu Agency, Barrack framed the escalation as an opportunity to reshape regional dynamics. 'What happened between Israel and Iran is a chance to say, 'Enough — let's open a new path,'' he stated. He also pointed to growing regional openness to renewed diplomacy, highlighting that populations across the Middle East have grown increasingly fatigued by prolonged tensions and entrenched narratives. 'I think you will see a return to the Abraham Accords, particularly as conditions in Gaza improve — that is the main bet,' he added. Expanding on the implications beyond Gaza, Barrack identified the post-conflict phase as a moment to advance broader peace efforts involving Israel, Syria, and Lebanon. He further referenced comments from Syria's transitional President, Ahmad al-Sharaa, who expressed readiness to establish peaceful relations with Israel and stabilize the border. 'I believe a similar process will unfold with Lebanon. A peace agreement with Israel is now essential,' Barrack noted. Addressing US-Turkiye relations, Barrack acknowledged unresolved disputes over the F-35 fighter jet program and American sanctions on Ankara. Still, he expressed confidence that both issues could be settled before the end of the year, adding that US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would instruct their foreign ministers to find a resolution.

Iran offers Gulf cooperation, seeks fresh start with GCC states
Shafaq News – Tehran On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared his country's readiness to fully cooperate with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and open a 'new chapter' in regional relations. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Pezeshkian emphasized the urgent need to strengthen ties among Islamic nations, according to Iran's official IRNA news agency. 'Iran is ready for comprehensive cooperation with the GCC,' he said, calling for deeper regional engagement based on shared interests and unity. The announcement comes amid strained Gulf-Iranian relations following a recent Iranian missile strike on Qatari territory. The Secretary-General of the GCC, Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, condemned the attack in the 'strongest possible terms.' The strike reportedly targeted the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran claimed the missiles were not intended to hit Qatari assets directly. The incident drew further criticism from the United Arab Emirates, where Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the UAE President, urged Iran to 'rebuild trust with its Gulf neighbors.' The missile exchange formed part of a broader 12-day military escalation between Iran and Israel, which ended after US President Donald Trump announced a cessation of hostilities following Iran's retaliatory strike.

Khamenei dismisses Trump's strike claims as 'exaggerated'
Shafaq News – Tehran On Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed US President Donald Trump's recent remarks regarding American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, describing the comments as exaggerated and misleading. In a post on X, Khamenei argued that Trump had overstated the impact of the strikes to obscure what he referred to as a 'hidden truth' behind the operation. رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا در شرح آنچه که واقع شد، بزرگنمایی غیرمتعارفی کرد که معلوم شد به این بزرگنمایی احتیاج دارد. هرکسی میشنید آن حرفها را میفهمید که در زیر ظاهر این حرفها یک حقیقت دیگری وجود دارد. کاری نتوانستند انجام بدهند و بزرگنمایی میکنند تا حقیقت را بپوشانند و مکتوم نگه دارند. — | فارسی 🇮🇷 (@Khamenei_fa) June 29, 2025 'The US President used highly exaggerated language to describe what occurred,' Khamenei wrote adding that 'Everyone who heard those words could sense that something else was being concealed.' Yesterday, Trump renewed his criticism of Khamenei's previous remarks on the ongoing conflict with Israel, questioning the credibility of the Supreme Leader's statements, and casting doubt on their accuracy. The US President also rejected claims that he had offered Iran $30 billion to help develop a civilian nuclear program, dismissing the reports as fabrications by what he described as 'dishonest media outlets aiming to mislead the public.'
