BREAKING
Ambrey: Cameroon-flagged tanker issues distress call following explosion abroad, approximately 60NM south of Yemen's Ahwar.
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal
Occupied Palestine: Israeli occupation forces raid homes during a raid on the village of Al-Burj, south of al-Khalil

CNN reported that fast food giant McDonald's is planning to cut some of its corporate staff, citing a company memorandum. 
 
CEO Chris Kempczinski said in a memo to employees that roles and staff levels will be evaluated, announcing possible "difficult" discussions and decisions ahead. The memo, obtained by the network, adds that initiatives will be "de-prioritized or stopped altogether" in order to push the organization while reducing global costs, and freeing up resources to further invest in the company's growth. 
 
McDonald's says it plans to communicate its future staffing plans by April 3rd. The company does not have a set dollar amount to cut or a number of employees it's planning to let go, the report added. 
 
According to the report, McDonald's had over 200,000 corporate employees and workers at company-owned restaurants at the end of 2021, with more than 75% of those jobs based outside of the United States.

On a related note, the world has been witnessing a wave of job cuts among business giants such as Twitter, Amazon, and Silicon valley.

Two days ago, Amazon's Chief Executive Andy Jassy announced that the retail giant plans to cut more than 18,000 jobs under the pretext of economic uncertainty, and that the company hired too rapidly during the pandemic.

"Between the reductions we made in November and the ones we're sharing today, we plan to eliminate just over 18,000 roles," said CEO Andy Jassy in a statement to his employees, adding that the company was "deeply aware that these role eliminations are difficult for people, and we don’t take these decisions lightly."

Just two months ago, the company announced it laid off 10,000 workers.
