Iran’s support for Russia and nuclear concerns on the agenda at Geneva talks

Delegations from Iran, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are meeting this Friday in the Swiss city of Geneva to discuss Tehran’s nuclear program, its relations with Russia, and the situation in the Middle East.
Ahead of the meeting, the European Union’s deputy foreign policy chief, Enrique Mora, said on Thursday that he had held a “frank discussion” in Geneva with two senior officials from Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majid Takht-Ravanchi and Kazem Gharibabadi.
The conversation focused on “Iran’s support for Russia, which must cease; the nuclear issue, which must find a diplomatic solution; regional tensions (it is important that all parties avoid escalation); and human rights,” the diplomat posted on X (formerly Twitter).
For his part, Gharibabadi called on the European Union to “abandon its self-centered and irresponsible approach to the problems and challenges of this continent and international issues,” said Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Abás Araqchi, on the same platform.
The meeting is taking place with the utmost discretion amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Iran and their allies, and less than two months before the return of Donald Trump to the White House, who was highly hostile towards Tehran during his first term.
It was Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 agreement, in which Iran and six world powers agreed that the Islamic Republic would limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Since then, Iran has pushed forward with the development of its nuclear program, which its authorities claim is for peaceful purposes.

Erik Prince Backs Ecuador’s Daniel Noboa in Fight Against Crime and “Narcoterrorism”

Erik Prince, the founder of the private security firm Blackwater (now called Academi), expressed his support for Daniel Noboa, the president and re-election candidate in Ecuador, and stated that he hopes to continue working together in the fight against crime.
“I hope Ecuador chooses law and order. We are here to help, to combat gangs, and to provide the tools for the government to restore law and order, peace, and prosperity,” said the former U.S. military member, who arrived in Guayaquil to participate in an operation alongside the Ministers of the Interior, John Reimberg, and Defense, Gian Carlo Loffredo.
Prince did not hold back in his criticism of left-wing governments, such as Venezuela, which he described as a “narco-state with mass drug processing,” while also linking the party Revolución Ciudadana, of which the Correista Luisa González is a member (and who faces Noboa in the second electoral round), as an “ally of Nicolás Maduro.”
Minister Loffredo had already announced on Tuesday that a team from Prince would arrive in the country in the coming days to provide “advisory and training” to security forces, as part of the “strategic alliance” that President Noboa agreed upon with the Blackwater founder to fight against “narcoterrorism,” details of which have not been disclosed.

Cuban Supreme Court Confirms Successful Completion of Prisoner Release

The People’s Supreme Court of Cuba announced on Monday that it has successfully completed the release of 553 prisoners, a process first announced on January 14. Among those freed were political prisoners, including opposition figures José Daniel Ferrer and Félix Navarro.
The announcement came shortly after Washington, in the final days of the Biden administration, decided to remove Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
While Havana has insisted that the releases were a unilateral and sovereign decision, the United States maintains that the measure was part of an agreement mediated by the Vatican. According to U.S. sources, many of those released were participants in the July 11, 2021, anti-government protests, the largest demonstrations Cuba has seen in decades.
Cuban authorities have not provided a list of the released prisoners or a timeline for the implementation of the measure, despite multiple requests for information from EFE.

Russia calls Zelensky’s Washington visit a “complete failure” after altercation with Trump

Russia stated on Saturday that Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington was a “complete failure” following the altercation with Donald Trump, accusing the Ukrainian leader of being “obsessed with continuing the war” with Moscow.
The visit “was a complete political and diplomatic failure of the Kiev regime,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova in a statement. Zakharova accused Zelensky of being “incapable of demonstrating a sense of responsibility,” of “rejecting peace,” and of using “lies and manipulations to justify the continuation of hostilities and the reception of military and financial aid from the West.”
Zelensky’s visit to Washington on Friday turned into a verbal brawl before cameras worldwide, when his counterpart, Donald Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance accused the Ukrainian leader of being ungrateful for U.S. aid and rejecting peace talks. Zelensky was prematurely escorted out of the White House without signing the agreement he had gone to Washington for, which involved giving up the exploitation of Ukraine’s mineral resources in exchange for security guarantees.
“With his excessively rude behavior during his visit to Washington, Zelensky confirmed that he is the most dangerous threat to the international community as an irresponsible warmonger,” Zakharova stated.
She also accused European leaders of “political weakness” and “baseness” for backing Zelensky after the “moral lesson” he received in Washington.
