JCPOA revival talks
Iran’s foreign ministry has reiterated that the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and several world powers will not be renegotiated at all. In his weekly press conference, the ministry’s spokesman said there are no ambiguities left in the draft text of the Vienna talks on the revival of the nuclear deal. Saeed Khatibzadeh said the negotiations now require a political decision from all parties to have a conclusion. He stressed that Tehran’s principled policy has been the removal of all US sanctions at the earliest. The Iranian official once again underlined the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program and slammed Washington for violating international law and its non-compliance attempts. On Sunday, negotiators from Iran and the remaining signatories to the nuclear deal wrapped up their sixth round of talks in the Austrian capital and headed back home.
UN siding with Israel
Palestine slams the UN decision not to include Israel in its blacklist of groups for violating children's rights, saying the world body has openly sided with the regime. In a statement, Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the United Nations’ move would embolden the regime to continue committing organized terrorism and crimes against humanity. It added that the decision has undermined the UN credibility. The ministry called on the world body to add Israel to its blacklist, saying the regime has grossly violated children’s rights. Last month, the Israeli regime launched a massive onslaught on the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of civilians. Sixty-six children as well as dozens of women were among those killed.
France local vote
In France, President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party has failed to make ground in the first round of regional elections, marred by a record-low turnout. Early results show Macron’s LREM performed poorly, with a national vote share of just over 10 percent. The far-right National Rally party of Marine Le Pen also faltered, securing only 17 percent of the vote. This is while center-right parties did better than expected, with the main opposition party Republicans winning more than 27 percent of the vote. The election will determine new councils for 14 regions as well as 96 departments. The vote came on the heels of more than a year of coronavirus lockdowns and restrictions, after being delayed for three months. Polling agencies have projected a high abstention rate of more than 68 percent for the first round. A second round is due on June 27th.
