Global powers disapprove of Iran’s latest violation

Global powers and Iran have, on Thursday, resumed talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal in an effort that is visibly complicated by Tehran’s stance to ramp up uranium enrichment.

Iran announced its decision on Tuesday to enrich uranium at 60% purity as a response to an explosion at its Natanz facility on Sunday. This is a stride closer to the 90% that is said to be a weapons-grade material

The announcement has cast a dark shadow over the Vienna talks.

The U.S. and European parties have called the move “provocative” and have said that Tehran’s enrichment move is not in line with the efforts to revive the accord that was halted by Washington three years ago.

The 2015 agreement tried to make it harder for Tehran to develop an atom bomb in return for lifting sanctions.

Tehran's continuous refusal to engage in direct talks with the United States compelled the European intermediaries to shuttle between hotels in Vienna when Iran and the other signatories - China, Britain, Germany, France, and Russia - held what was termed as an initial round of “constructive” negotiations.

Senior diplomats at first met to set the tone, on Thursday, in what they anticipated would be a somewhat tough round of talks to rescue the pact.

Two expert-level groups, looking to put together the lists of sanctions that the U.S. could lift with nuclear obligations Iran should adhere to, have now restarted their discussions.

Iran's external affairs ministry said its negotiators had guarded their decisions and expressed their disarray at "the weak reaction" from global powers to the attack on Natanz

Bringing the Western concerns to light, a senior diplomat said that the desire to make progress was there but Iran's latest violation could not be ignored. He said that Iran’s stance made efforts for a breakthrough before the Iranian presidential election harder.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
