Iran says it would resume nuclear talks with US if guaranteed no further attacks
Iran's foreign minister said Saturday that his country would accept a resumption of nuclear talks with the US if there were assurances of no more attacks against it, state media reported. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a speech to Tehran-based foreign diplomats that Iran has always been ready and will be ready in the future for talks about its nuclear programme, but, "assurance should be provided that in case of a resumption of talks, the trend will not lead to war." Referring to the 12-day Israeli bombardment of Iran's nuclear and military sites, and the US strike on June 22, Araghchi said that if the US and others wish to resume talks with Iran, "first of all, there should be a firm guarantee that such actions will not be repeated. The attack on Iran's nuclear facilities has made it more difficult and complicated to achieve a solution based on negotiations." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now Undo Following the strikes, Iran suspended cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, which led to the departure of inspectors. Araghchi said that under Iranian law, the country will answer the agency's request for cooperation "case by case," based on Iran's interests. Live Events He also said any inspection by the agency should be done based on Iran's "security" concerns as well as the safety of the inspectors. "The risk of proliferation of radioactive ingredients and an explosion of ammunition that remains from the war in the attacked nuclear sites is serious," he said. He also reiterated Iran's position on the need to continue enriching uranium on its soil. US President Donald Trump has insisted that cannot happen. Israel claims it acted because Tehran was within reach of a nuclear weapon. US intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency had assessed Iran last had an organised nuclear weapons programme in 2003, though Tehran had been enriching uranium up to 60 per cent - a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90 per cent. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in an interview published Monday said the US airstrikes so badly damaged his country's nuclear facilities that Iranian authorities still have not been able to access them to survey the destruction.

EU commission chief von der Leyen faces no-confidence vote this week
The president of the European Union's executive branch, Ursula von der Leyen , faces a no-confidence vote this week linked in part to text messages she exchanged with a pharmaceutical boss during the COVID-19 pandemic . EU lawmakers will debate von der Leyen's future at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Monday in the European Commission president's presence, and vote on a censure motion on Thursday. The commission proposes EU laws and supervises whether those that enter force are respected. No-confidence votes are rare in the European Parliament, and von der Leyen is expected to win comfortably, but the censure motion is another sign of discontent with the former German defence minister and her backers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now Undo Supported by a small group of hard-right members of parliament , the motion contains a mix of allegations against von der Leyen including text messaging with the boss of vaccine maker Pfizer , misuse of EU funds and interference in elections in Germany and Romania. "This is a list of backbenchers, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's friends. They're anti-Ukrainian and anti-EU," Daniel Koster, a spokesperson for the European People's Party - the largest political group in the assembly - said on Friday. Live Events The commission chief is a member of the EPP, which Koster said "will unanimously vote against this". Other groups are using the debate to criticise von der Leyen, They believe she is trying to bypass the parliament to act more quickly. The second biggest political group, the Socialists and Democrats, said the censure motion is a result "of the EPP's irresponsibility and the double games". The threat of a parliamentary censure motion in 1999 forced the European Commission - led at the time by Jacques Santer from Luxembourg - to resign over fraud, mismanagement and nepotism allegations.

No political party satisfied with current electoral rolls: CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Amid growing political criticism and now court petitions challenging the Election Commission 's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday sought to remind that none of the political parties were "satisfied" with the existing electoral rolls , as per recent rounds of ECI consultations with them across states. "During the past four months, all 4,123 EROs, all 775 DEOs and all 36 CEOs have held nearly 5,000 meetings with 28,000 political party representatives. ECI has also invited all recognised political parties for interaction. No one was satisfied with the current status of electoral rolls for one reason or the other," Gyanesh Kumar said. Poll panel sources, meanwhile, also cautioned the public on "misleading" statements being "orchestrated" to "confuse" them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now Undo "People should beware of statements being made by a few persons who, without reading the SIR order dated June 24, 2025, and who are orchestrating and attempting to confuse the public with their incorrect and misleading statements," ECI sources said. Alongside, the Bihar Chief Electoral Officer on Sunday issued advertisements in leading Hindi newspapers of the state indicating some relief for those who don't have any of the 11 documents specified by the ECI. "If voters provide the required documents, it will be easier for the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) to process the application. If you are unable to provide the required documents, the ERO can decide based on local investigation or other documentary evidence", the advertisement said. Live Events

Beyond Jane Street, global trading firms vie for India's lucrative derivatives market: Report
It is not just the Jane Street Group LLC that saw promise in India's lucrative derivatives markets. There are half-a-dozen other global trading giants which are fighting for a larger pie. Among them are US-based Citadel Securities, IMC Trading, Millennium and Netherlands-based Optiver. A Reuters report said that these firms are ratcheting up their presence in India's booming derivatives markets, fuelling a hiring spree and pushing exchanges to improve technology. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now The firms' hiring plans, being reported for the first time, come amid expectations that large domestic consumer and investor bases will help shield India from global turmoil sparked by the trade policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, the report said. India, a South Asian power house, accounted for nearly 60% of global equity derivative trading volumes of 7.3 billion in April, this report said, quoting the Futures Industry Association though its regulators say notional turnover of the contracts has grown 48 times since March 2018. The gold rush from international operators comes in light of U.S-based Jane Street's success, though Jane Street has hit a regulatory wall and is under interim ban from accessing the Indian markets. Live Events On Thursday, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in an interim order held Jane Street in violation of rules, holding the company for manipulating derivatives (F&O) markets and making unlawful gains worth up to Rs 36,500 crore. Media reports have cited that it may increase the scope of its investigation to more indices and exchanges. Also Read: Jane Street's Rs 4 crore IIT talent hunt came before Sebi's Rs 36,500 crore manipulation bombshell Expanding footprints The foreign trading companies are taking a leaf out of Jane Street's books to consolidate their presence in India. "We have seen competition increasing both on the trading front, where you see more players going for the same opportunities, and on the job market as well," the Reuters report said quoting Jocelyn Dentand of global high-speed trader IMC Trading. The firm plans to grow its team by more than 50% by the end of 2026 to stand at more than 150, added Dentand, the managing director of its India unit. Citadel Securities, a market-making firm founded by well-known investor Kenneth Griffin, runs a leaner team of around 10, this report highlighted. Quoting sources familiar with the firm's plans, Reuters said that Citadel Securities also recently hired chief operating officer for India as well as a country head of trading, building on its endeavor to seek talent. Hedge fund Millennium is expanding its India desk via Dubai and Singapore, a source told Reuters. Earlier, Jane Street Group made headlines for offering a Rs 4.3-crore annual package to an IIT Madras student prior to the Sebi ban order. The viral news of this extraordinary offer highlighted Jane Street's lucrative compensation and rigorous recruitment process, which aligns with its global practice of hiring from top-tier universities such as MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Princeton, and Stanford.
