March 11, 2022, 7:02 PM GMT+8
Iran Nuclear Talks Halted (11:40 a.m.)
World powers and Iran suspended their efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear accord, reigniting a crisis that’s set to roil oil markets.
The rupture follows escalating tensions between the Kremlin and the White House. Moscow warned this week that it wanted U.S. guarantees that sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine wouldn’t affect its planned partnership with Iran.
Putin to Bring in Fighters From Middle East (9:50 a.m. CET)
Russia will send thousands of fighters from the Middle East, along with weapons, to join its forces in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin said Friday.
“We need to help them get to the war zone,” Putin told members of his Security Council on a video call during which Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russia had received more than 16,000 applications to fight in the separatist regions in eastern Ukraine. Putin also endorsed a proposal to send more weapons, including anti-aircraft systems, to the separatist forces there.
While reiterating that Moscow’s operation in Ukraine is going “according to plan,” Shoigu appealed to Putin to deploy more weapons along Russia’s western border, to counter what he said was a buildup in the area by the U.S. and its allies. NATO moved additional troops and weapons into the region following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. |
