State media confirmed that Tehran currently has “no plans” to attend proposed talks in Pakistan, despite a push from Donald Trump, who recently instructed American negotiators to head to Islamabad in hopes of restarting dialogue.

Speaking through Iran’s state news agency Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Pezeshkian stressed that diplomacy is still on the table—but not without vigilance.

- [Iran Reopens Part of Its Airspace, But Global Airlines Stay on Edge](https://thevoiceofpalestine.com/iran-reopens-part-of-its-airspace-but-global-airlines-stay-on-edge/): Iran has begun a cautious step toward normalcy by partially reopening its airspace to international transit flights. According to the country’s Civil Aviation Authority, aircraft are now permitted to cross through the eastern section of Iran’s skies, signaling a controlled attempt to restore aviation activity. In addition to reopening specific air routes, several airports resumed operations early in the morning at 7:00 AM local time (0330 GMT).

Earlier, the crucial waterway had been reopened following signs of a ceasefire linked to ongoing conflict in the region. That decision sparked relief worldwide, especially as the strait is responsible for transporting nearly 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. However, the optimism was short-lived. Iran’s military confirmed today that the strait is now back under strict control, citing ongoing pressure from the United States, particularly a continued […]

Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, where he promoted his “no tax on tips” policy from last year’s tax reform, Trump shifted focus between economic achievements and foreign policy decisions. At 79, the president highlighted what he called a strong economic resurgence since returning to office in 2025, comparing it favorably to his first term. “We had the best economy in our country’s history before, and […]

The plan aims to expand parliament by nearly two-fifths and reserve one-third of seats for women, a move the government calls historic—but one that has triggered strong opposition. Ahead of a special parliamentary session, Modi emphasized the importance of empowering women in governance.
