Trump’s options: how could the Iran war end? | The Global Story

Published

on



Donald Trump says the United States and Iran have held talks on the “complete and total resolution of hostilities” in the Middle East.

He says that, as a result of the talks, he has postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants for five days.

However, Iran’s foreign ministry denies such talks have taken place, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS.

As the US and Israel war with Iran enters its fourth week, there are growing number of people in the United States calling for a proper resolution.

This is a critical moment where the war could turn into a long drawn-out conflict. Or it could be a moment where Donald Trump dashes for a quick exit.

The BBC’s world affairs correspondent Joe Inwood and the BBC’s Persian service’s Ghoncheh Habibiazad discuss with Tristan Redman where this could all go next.

Battle in the Black Sea – Russia and Ukraine intensify attacks on shipping | BBC News

Published

on



Russia has been ramping up its efforts to strangle Ukraine’s commercial links to the outside world, by launching waves of attacks along the country’s Black Sea coastline.

While there have been Russian attacks on international vessels before, they’ve never been so numerous or so deadly. Ukraine’s port administration says there were 57 Russian attacks on civilian vessels last month. Ukraine’s once bustling ports – such as Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi – are almost devoid of ships.

Ukraine is also targeting shipping in the war, with recent, highly successful attacks on Russian vessels, including sanctioned tankers carrying oil, as well as ships involved in carrying supplies to Russian-occupied Crimea.

Using its own drones, Ukraine has struck around 200 Russian vessels, bringing traffic in the strategic Sea of Azov to a virtual standstill.

Iran says it has agreed shipping route with Oman, as Trump continues military threats | BBC News

Published

on



Iran says it has agreed a shipping route with Oman in the Strait of Hormuz that could pave the way for the vital waterway to reopen.

It follows more military threats from US President Donald Trump, if Iran doesn’t agree to a deal for free passage.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, while Israel has conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire.

And inside Iran, the UN say 56 people have been executed since mid-March on charges relating to national security.
