ISLAMABAD: Iran&rsquo;s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghaddam, has said the United States and Israel are orchestrating unrest inside Iran, warning that any foreign aggression would be met with a strong and decisive response. In an exclusive interview with Pakistan TV, the ambassador thanked the government, media and people of Pakistan for closely and sensitively following developments in Iran. He said Iran&rsquo;s security was being threatened through a &ldquo;designed plan&rdquo; involving the US, Israel and terrorist elements, while Iranian security forces and the public were working to maintain law and order. Moghaddam said recent protests were rooted in economic challenges caused by decades-long US sanctions, government reforms related to foreign exchange and subsidy mechanisms for essential goods.&nbsp; He stressed that peaceful protest is a constitutional right in Iran and that the government engaged directly with traders and demonstrators, including meetings held by the interior minister, commerce minister and the president. However, he said the protests were later exploited by hostile foreign actors. The Iranian envoy said that the US and Israel facilitated the infiltration of armed groups from Syria and Iraq under the cover of protests, adding these elements targeted both security personnel and civilians. He said Iran has lost around 100 police and security personnel, adding that terrorist violence, including attacks on women and children, is unacceptable anywhere in the world. Rejecting foreign-backed opposition narratives, the ambassador said public rallies in support of Iran&rsquo;s political system were underway, reflecting what he described as the people&rsquo;s rejection of external interference. On the possibility of military aggression, the ambassador warned that Iran has proven over the past four decades that it will deliver a befitting response to any attack by the US or Israel. He said diplomatic channels with Washington remain open through the Swiss-managed interest protection office, but stressed that Iran will never recognize or negotiate with Israel.

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump is withdrawing the United States from a foundational climate treaty and the world&#39;s leading global warming assessment body, as part of a sweeping exit from the United Nations system, the White House announced Wednesday. A total of 66 international organizations were named in a White House memorandum as &quot;contrary to the interests of the United States.&quot; Most notable among them is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the parent treaty underpinning all major international climate agreements. Trump, who has thrown the full weight of his domestic policy behind fossil fuels, has openly scorned the scientific consensus that human activity is warming the planet, deriding climate science as a &quot;hoax&quot; at the UN&#39;s high-level summit last September. The UNFCCC was adopted at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 and approved later that year by the US Senate during George H.W. Bush&#39;s presidency. The US Constitution allows presidents to enter treaties &quot;provided two thirds of Senators present concur,&quot; but it is silent on the process for withdrawing from them &mdash; a legal ambiguity that could invite challenges. Trump has already withdrawn from the landmark Paris climate accord since returning to office, just as he did during his first term, a move that Democratic president Joe Biden later reversed. Exiting the underlying treaty could introduce additional legal uncertainty around any future US effort to rejoin. &quot;President Trump&#39;s withdrawal of the United States from the bedrock global treaty to tackle climate change is a new low and yet another sign that this authoritarian, anti-science administration is determined to sacrifice people&#39;s well-being and destabilize global cooperation,&quot; Rachel Cleetus of the Union of Concerned Scientists told AFP. The memo also directs the United States to withdraw from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN body responsible for assessing climate science, alongside other climate-related organizations including the International Renewable Energy Agency, UN Oceans and UN Water. As in his first term, Trump has also withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement and from UNESCO &mdash; the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization &mdash; which Washington had rejoined under Biden. Trump has likewise pulled the US out of the World Health Organization and sharply reduced foreign aid, slashing funding for numerous UN agencies and forcing them to scale back operations on the ground, including the High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Food Program. Other prominent bodies named in the memo include the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), which works on sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), which focuses on trade, investment and development. Speaking before the General Assembly in September, Trump delivered a scathing broadside against the UN, saying it was &quot;not even coming close to living up&quot; to its potential.

GENEVA: Washington on Monday pledged an initial $2 billion for United Nations humanitarian aid in 2026&mdash;far less than it has provided in recent years&mdash;warning individual UN agencies to &quot;adapt, shrink or die&quot;. With its pledge, announced at the US mission in Geneva alongside the United Nations&#39; aid chief Tom Fletcher, the United States is pursuing a dramatic overhaul of how it funds UN humanitarian work. Instead of handing funds to individual agencies, the United States will funnel its contributions through the UN aid agency OCHA, headed by Fletcher, which earlier this year launched a so-called Humanitarian Reset to improve efficiency and accountability. The US funds will then be distributed to more than a dozen selected countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar and Sudan. &quot;It is an initial anchor commitment,&quot; Jeremy Lewin, the senior US official for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs and religious freedom, told reporters. &quot;There are other countries that we will add as we continue to get more funding into this mechanism.&quot; He challenged other countries to match or beat US funding for UN aid. &quot;This new model will better share the burden of UN humanitarian work with other developed countries and will require the UN to cut bloat, remove duplication, and commit to powerful new impact, accountability, and oversight mechanisms,&quot; US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on X. According to UN data, the United States remained the top humanitarian aid donor in the world in 2025, but that amount fell significantly to $2.7 billion, down from around $11 billion in 2023 and 2024, and from over $14 billion in 2022. Other key donor countries have also been tightening their belts, triggering major upheaval in the global aid sector. &quot;Individual UN agencies will need to adapt, shrink, or die,&quot; a State Department statement said. Hard priority choicesFletcher, who is British, said the US pledge was an &quot;extraordinary&quot; commitment. &quot;The US has long been the world&#39;s humanitarian superpower,&quot; he said in a statement. &quot;Hundreds of millions of people are alive today because of American generosity&mdash;and many millions more will survive in 2026 because of this landmark investment in humanity.&quot; Fletcher said reform of the humanitarian system was in the pipeline, and US taxpayers would be able to see how their money was delivering life-saving impacts. &quot;The US is also placing a significant and encouraging vote of trust and confidence in the Humanitarian Reset, through which we are making humanitarian action faster, smarter and closer to the people on the front lines of emergencies,&quot; he said. &quot;We&#39;re cutting red tape, eliminating duplication, and prioritizing hard.&quot; When Fletcher launched the UN&#39;s annual Global Humanitarian Appeal for 2026 earlier this month, he requested $23 billion to provide assistance to 87 million of the world&#39;s neediest people, with a heavy focus on dire conflicts like those in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Haiti and Myanmar. The amount and number of people covered by the appeal has been dramatically reduced over recent years, as the UN strives to adapt to a new reality after President Donald Trump slashed US foreign aid spending. The United Nations has stressed that the smaller appeal does not mean needs have shrunk. It estimates that some 240 million people&mdash;in conflict zones, suffering from epidemics, or victims of natural disasters and climate change -- are in need of emergency aid. In 2025, the UN&#39;s appeal for more than $45 billion was only funded to the $12 billion mark, the lowest in a decade. That only allowed it to help 98 million people, 25 million fewer than the year before.&nbsp;

MIAMI: US and Ukrainian envoys issued a joint statement on Sunday that hailed &quot;productive and constructive&quot; talks in Miami, but did not announce any apparent breakthrough in efforts to end the war with Russia. Top representatives of Ukraine and Russia, as well as Kyiv&#39;s European allies, have been in southern Florida over the past several days for a series of separate talks hosted by US President Donald Trump&#39;s special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Despite a flurry of high-level meetings in recent weeks, there have been no clear signals of imminent resolutions to key hurdles on ending the nearly four-year war. The diplomatic blitz came after Washington last month presented a 28-point plan on the war that was widely seen as echoing the Kremlin&#39;s demands. It has since been redrafted following Ukraine and Europe&#39;s involvement, though its contents have not been publicly disclosed. &quot;Over the last three days in Florida, the Ukrainian delegation held a series of productive and constructive meetings with American and European partners,&quot; Witkoff and Ukraine&#39;s top negotiator, Rustem Umerov, said in separate statements on X. They said a bilateral US-Ukraine meeting focused on developing and aligning positions on &quot;four key documents&quot; -- a &quot;20-point plan,&quot; a &quot;Multilateral security guarantee framework,&quot; a &quot;US Security guarantee framework for Ukraine&quot; and an &quot;economic &amp; prosperity plan.&quot; &quot;Particular attention was given to discussing timelines and the sequencing of next steps,&quot; they said, without announcing any further meetings. National security advisors from Kyiv&#39;s European allies &quot;also joined the discussions to align on a shared strategic approach between Ukraine, the United States, and Europe,&quot; the statements added. Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev was also in southern Florida and believed to have met with the US delegation, which includes billionaire real estate developer Witkoff and Trump&#39;s son-in-law Jared Kushner. A video on Russian state media showed Dmitriev arriving in a motorcade to Witkoff&#39;s Shell Bay luxury golf club. The Kremlin on Sunday said recent proposed changes to the plan to end the war were a non-starter. Dmitriev &quot;should receive information about what has been developed by the Americans and Europeans&quot; in the plan and report that back to Moscow later, Kremlin&#39;s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state TV. Moscow, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022, sees Europe as pro-war and argues its participation in the talks only hinders them. - War rages on -While little is known of the latest peace plans, Kyiv is likely to be expected to surrender some territory -- a prospect resented by many Ukrainians -- in exchange for US security guarantees. Though envoys from both Moscow and Kyiv were in town, the Kremlin had earlier ruled out three-way talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier described the talks as &quot;constructive&quot; and said they were &quot;moving at a fairly rapid pace.&quot; He nevertheless cautioned that &quot;much depends on whether Russia feels the need to end the war for real.&quot; He also hailed this week as &quot;historic&quot; for Ukraine, thanking Europe for pledging $100 billion of funding over the next two years. Moscow&#39;s troops have been steadily advancing at the eastern front in recent months. Putin on Friday hailed the Russian army&#39;s territorial gains -- and threatened more in the coming weeks. Just over the week, &quot;Russia has launched approximately 1,300 attack drones, nearly 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 9 missiles of various types&quot; against Ukraine, Zelensky said. Most of them have pummelled the Black Sea region of Odesa, where relentless strikes wrought havoc on ports, bridges and energy facilities, killing eight people Saturday. In the eastern Sumy region, Russian troops attempted a breakthrough in an area previously spared from an intense ground offensive. Russian forces forcibly moved 50 people from a local village, said Kyiv. &quot;Russian invaders have stolen five dozen civilian people, mostly elderly women, from a tiny Ukrainian village Grabovske, right across the state border in the Sumy region,&quot; Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said. Russia made no comment on the matter.

PARIS: For US President Donald Trump, speaking after the release of an American security strategy that warned Europe was on the verge of &quot;civilisational erasure&quot;, the continent&#39;s immigration policy is a &quot;disaster&quot; that will result in many European countries no longer being &quot;viable&quot;. Speaking in a Politico interview published on Tuesday, Trump said Europe wants to be &quot;politically correct and they don&#39;t want to send them (migrants) back to where they came from&quot;, drawing a contrast with the hardline policy of his administration. Europe does keep welcoming workers, partly because ageing populations and falling birthrates are whittling away at its labour force. But Trump&#39;s broadside ignores a much more nuanced wider picture, with a tightening crackdown on illegal immigration in Europe leading to a decrease in asylum applications and irregular arrivals. The European Union&#39;s statistical agency Eurostat counted some 29 million third-country nationals as of January 1, 2024, representing 6.4 percent of the population. In 2021, this figure was 23.8 million. But countries issued eight percent fewer first residence permits last year than in 2023, according to Eurostat, suggesting a slight drop in legal arrivals. Germany, Spain, France, and Italy account for nearly 70 percent of foreign nationals living in the European Union. &quot;Part of our economy is based on immigration,&quot; Matthieu Tardis, co-director of the independent research centre Synergies Migrations, told AFP, citing France as an example where &quot;the industrial revolution was built on Italian and Polish labour&quot;. Today, in certain sectors, &quot;foreigners are overrepresented&quot; compared to their proportion of the European population, particularly in healthcare and construction, he added. Foreign doctors represent 22 percent of physicians in Germany, 18 percent in France, and 41 percent in the United Kingdom, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). - Germany sharpens policy -At the end of 2024, Eurostat recorded 1 million asylum seekers in Europe, down 11 percent compared to 2023. During 2024, some 438,000 people were granted refugee status giving them the right to stay. The number of asylum seekers has never again reached the level of the 2015 migration crisis, when hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing the war arrived in Europe. At that time, 1.3 million asylum seekers were recorded. In terms of irregular immigration, nearly 200,000 arrivals were recorded on European shores in 2024, five times fewer than in 2015, according to the United Nations. Experts attribute this decrease in part to agreements reached with countries including Turkey, Libya, and Tunisia to crack down on boat departures, which have aroused criticism over human rights implications. In Germany, which hosts the most foreigners in the European Union, conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz has implemented a stricter asylum policy since coming to power in May elections where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party achieved its best ever result. As of the beginning of November, the number of asylum applications in Germany had decreased by more than half compared to 2024. - Italy, Hungary and UK -Italy has already signed a controversial agreement with Albania to outsource the processing of asylum seekers intercepted at sea. But the measure is currently stalled due to multiple legal challenges in Italian courts. Since her election in 2022, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, has made combating illegal immigration one of her priorities. At the same time, the Italian government has increased the number of work visas issued (450,000 between 2023 and 2025, compared to 75,700 in 2022) in order to address labour shortages as the population ages and birth rates decline. This pattern has been repeated in Hungary under nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, where only 29 asylum seekers -- excluding those from Ukraine -- were registered in 2024. But the number of foreigners residing in the country has increased over the past 10 years, through his &quot;guest&quot; worker policy, rising from nearly 146,000 to over 255,000 expected by 2025. Outside the European Union, in the United Kingdom, net immigration plummeted by nearly 69 percent year-on-year, the Office for National Statistics reported at the end of November. This data confirms a downward trend since the peak reached in 2023, largely due to the policies of the previous Conservative government, although there has been no let up in irregular Channel crossings.

TEHRAN: Iran&#39;s intelligence ministry has warned of attempts by foreign adversaries, including the United States and Israel, to target supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and destabilize the Islamic Republic.&nbsp;The country&#39;s ISNA news agency reported on Saturday that intelligence minister Esmail Khatib cautioned, &quot;the enemy seeks to target the supreme leader, sometimes with assassination attempts, sometimes with hostile attacks&quot;.&nbsp;While it was not immediately clear if the minister was referring to a specific incident, and Iranian officials often allege foreign plots, statements on threats against Khamenei&#39;s life had been rare prior to a 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June.&nbsp;&quot;Those who act in this direction, knowingly or unknowingly, are the infiltrating agents of the enemy,&quot; Khatib added, referring directly to Israel and the United States.&nbsp;During the conflict earlier this year, Israel targeted senior Iranian military officials, nuclear scientists, and sites as well as residential areas, with the US later joining with strikes on key nuclear facilities.&nbsp;Asked about reports during the war that US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill the supreme leader out of concern it would escalate the Iran-Israel showdown, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dismissive but said the move would &quot;end the conflict&quot;.&nbsp;At the time, Trump had also said that Iran&#39;s supreme leader was a &quot;very easy target&quot; and that &quot;we are not going to take him out, at least not for now.&quot;&nbsp;He later said in a post on Truth Social he had saved Iran&#39;s supreme leader from &quot;A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH&quot;.&nbsp;The 86-year-old Khamenei has been Iran&#39;s supreme leader since 1989 and has the final say on all state affairs.&nbsp;Earlier this month, Iran&#39;s President Masoud Pezeshkian said he was particularly concerned for Khamenei&#39;s life during the war and feared that the country&#39;s institutions &quot;would start fighting among each other.&quot;&nbsp;In July, Khamenei said Israel&#39;s attacks during the war were intended to weaken the Islamic Republic, sow &quot;unrest and bring people into the streets to overthrow the system&quot;.&nbsp;A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in place since June 24, but both Israel and the United States have threatened new strikes if Tehran revives its nuclear programme.

UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council will vote Monday on a resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump&#39;s Gaza peace plan, diplomats said.&nbsp; Last week, the Americans officially launched negotiations within the 15-member Security Council on a text that would follow up on a ceasefire in the two-year war between Israel and Hamas and endorse Trump&#39;s plan. A draft of the resolution seen Thursday by AFP &quot;welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace,&quot; a transitional governing body for Gaza -- that Trump would theoretically chair -- with a mandate running until the end of 2027. It would authorize member states to form a &quot;temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF)&quot; that would work with Israel and Egypt and newly trained Palestinian police to help secure border areas and demilitarize the Gaza Strip. Unlike previous drafts, the latest mentions a possible future Palestinian state. The United States and several Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, called Friday for the UN Security Council to quickly adopt the resolution. &quot;The United States, Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and T&uuml;rkiye express our joint support for the Security Council Resolution currently under consideration,&quot; the countries said in a joint statement, adding they were seeking the measure&#39;s &quot;swift adoption.&quot; Friday&#39;s joint statement comes as Russia circulated a competing draft resolution to Council members that does not authorize the creation of a board of peace or the immediate deployment of an international force in Gaza, according to the text seen Friday by AFP. The Russian version welcomes &quot;the initiative that led to the ceasefire&quot; but does not name Trump. It also only calls on the UN secretary-general to submit a report that addresses the possibilities of deploying an international stabilization force in war-ravaged Gaza. The United States has called the ceasefire &quot;fragile,&quot; and warned Friday of the risks of not adopting its draft. &quot;Any refusal to back this resolution is a vote either for the continued reign of Hamas terrorists or for the return to war with Israel, condemning the region and its people to perpetual conflict,&quot; the US ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, wrote in The Washington Post. &quot;Every departure from this path, be it by those who wish to play political games or to relitigate the past, will come with a real human cost.&quot; While it seemed until now that Council members supported principles of the peace plan, diplomatic sources noted there were questions about the US text, particularly regarding the absence of a monitoring mechanism by the Council, the role of the&nbsp; Palestinian Authority, and details of the ISF&#39;s mandate. The Russian UN mission said in a statement that its alternative proposal differed by recognizing the principle of a &quot;two-State solution for the Israeli-Palestinian settlement.&quot; &quot;Unfortunately, these provisions were not given due regard in the US draft,&quot; it said.
