A popular Telegram channel falsely claimed that this is a “checkmate to US/Zangezur plans” and even shared a map showing a different route than what was confirmed in order to mislead their audience. Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan told Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) in an interview earlier this month […]
The global trading system, which the United States has promoted for decades as a model of fairness, openness, and mutual benefit, has today revealed its true nature.

The White House’s decision to impose tariffs on many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America has had a double effect.

In the summer of 2025, nine months after the close of COP29 in Baku, the Caspian Sea faces yet another oil spill off the Absheron Peninsula. Thin, almost silvery slicks spread across the water’s surface, coating coastal reeds. Fishermen lose their catch, marine life retreats, and the air carries the […]
