+++ US-Präsident Trump hat Verhandlungen mit der iranischen Führung über ein Kriegsende ausgeschlossen.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out any negotiations with Iranian leadership regarding a cessation of hostilities, stating there will be no agreement reached unless Iran submits to “unconditional surrender.” The development underscores escalating tensions in the region and a firm stance against diplomatic solutions in the short term. Trump made the statement on his platform, Truth Social, adding that the U.S. And its allies would work to restore the country “from the brink of destruction” and strengthen its economy only after such a surrender and the selection of a “great and acceptable” new Iranian leadership. This position represents a shift from earlier in the week, when Trump had indicated openness to negotiations following the commencement of U.S. Strikes on Iran and the reported death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
+++ Nach dem Raketenangriff am vergangenen Wochenende auf eine Mädchenschule im Iran fordern die Vereinten Nationen eine unabhängige Untersuchung.
The United Nations is calling for an independent investigation into a rocket attack on a girls’ school in Iran last weekend. UN experts in Geneva described the attack as a grave assault on children, education, and the future of an entire community, emphasizing that educational facilities should never be targets for military action. According to Iranian officials, more than 150 students were killed in the strike on the school in Minab, southern Iran, on Saturday. The New York Times reports that the U.S. Is likely responsible for the attack, based on an assessment of satellite imagery, videos, and online media reports. The school was reportedly struck while U.S. Forces were attacking a nearby Iranian naval base. The Pentagon is investigating the incident, according to Foreign Minister Rubio.
