Germany urges UN to take action as war against Iran pinches global economy​



German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called on the United Nations on Monday to play a more active role in resolving the conflict with Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the situation is affecting the global economy.

Speaking before departing for New York to attend a UN Security Council meeting, the German minister argued that the UN must become the center of diplomacy for contemporary conflicts in order to address urgent peace and security issues.

He criticized some Security Council members for blocking decision-making, saying the international community cannot tolerate such obstruction at a time when it is facing multiple major conflicts simultaneously.

The senior diplomat warned that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a repercussion of the US-Israeli war against Iran – has a serious impact on the global economy.
 

Lavrov says talks between Putin and Araghchi 'constructive'​



Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has described the talks between his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, and President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg as constructive.

In remarks on Monday, Lavrov referred to the meeting between Araghchi and Putin, noting, “The talks between the Russian President and the Iranian Foreign Minister in St. Petersburg were fruitful and constructive.”

Araghchi arrived in St. Petersburg early Monday to meet and hold talks with the President of Russia.

During the meeting, the top Iranian diplomat thanked President Putin for Russia’s support amid US-Israeli aggression, emphasizing that the Iran-Russia strategic partnership will continue to strengthen.

Putin praised Iranians for heroically fighting for their sovereignty, expressed hope for peace, and pledged that Russia will do its utmost to ensure stability in the Middle East as soon as possible.
 
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said:
Some say the likelihood of America's Asian allies aiding the U.S.-initiated war against Iran and subsequent seizure of Chinese ships is currently very low.

Current geopolitical developments from late 2025 and early 2026 indicate that most major Asian allies, including Japan, South Korea, and Australia have explicitly issued statements distancing themselves from direct military involvement in the cowardly sneak attack on Iran.

They are also understandably considered to be very reluctant to offer any support to the aggressor Americans in any potential conflict with China.

America has apparently forfeited the goodwill of even their closest allies around the world by the vicious unprovoked nature of their brazen attack on Iran.

In March, after the U.S. and Israel had launched surprise attacks on Iran on February 28, the Trump administration requested that Japan and South Korea send ships into the war zone. Both nations declined. Likewise, Australia has expressed no interest in aiding the American thugs, either.

The scenario of the US Navy seizing Chinese ships at sea further complicates any possibility of allied support due to regional security fears. This means no port facilities for the piratical American navy, no access to air bases, (and no overflights) for the bullies in bombers.

Allies fear that aiding and abetting American aggression could trigger a nightmare scenario of a protracted conflict that forces them to choose between the U.S. and their largest trading partner (China).

Mutual defense treaties (like ANZUS or the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty are designed for defensive actions within the Pacific.

They do not legally obligate these nations to support offensive U.S. operations started in the Middle East or against commercial Chinese shipping.

In short, the U.S. currently lacks a "coalition of the willing" in Asia for this specific scenario. Most allies view a U.S.-led war in the Middle East as a strategic error that undermines their own safety against a rising China.

To hear his brain dead supporters tell it, Trump is the most admired and feared leader in US history. They see nothing but overwhelming love from the American people for this loser in chief.
 

Iran slams US ‘maritime blockade’ at UN, warns of threats to global navigation​



Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, has sharply criticized the United States during a Security Council session, accusing Washington of undermining maritime security and violating international law through a “maritime blockade.”

Speaking to reporters following an open debate at the United Nations Security Council on Monday, Iravani said recent US actions, including the seizure of Iranian commercial vessels in international waters, amount to “piracy and hostage-taking.”
He added that such measures breach the United Nations Charter and fall under acts of aggression as defined by General Assembly Resolution 3314.

Iravani also accused Washington of using coercion and intimidation against commercial shipping, stating that vessel crews have been “terrorized” and unlawfully detained. He further criticized 'the silence of some Council members,' saying that concerns over freedom of navigation were not matched by condemnation of US actions.

The Iranian envoy linked the tensions to an ongoing “war of aggression” launched by the United States and Israel since late February, warning that such developments have destabilized key waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz—a critical corridor for global energy supplies.

Iravani said Iran remains committed to maintaining maritime security in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters. He stressed that any measures taken by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz are consistent with its rights as a coastal state and are designed to balance security concerns with the safe passage of international shipping.

“Iran’s approach is rooted in international law and national regulations, aimed at ensuring stability in a highly volatile environment,” he said, adding that policies would be adjusted in response to evolving conditions.

Iravani also noted that Iran is not a signatory to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, though it recognizes provisions that constitute customary international law.

He concluded by placing responsibility for any disruption to maritime transport on “the aggressors,” namely the United States and its allies, dismissing alternative narratives as unfounded.
