BREAKING
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

Despite nearly five months of conflict, there are no signs of the violence subsiding.

The neighborhood's resistance committee stated that the death toll resulting from the airstrikes in southern Khartoum has now reached 20 civilian casualties. These committees, previously involved in organizing pro-democracy protests, are now offering assistance to families caught in the conflict between the army and paramilitary groups.

In a previous statement, they mentioned that the victims included two children and expressed concern that additional fatalities might have gone unreported because some bodies couldn't be transported to hospitals due to severe burns or being torn apart during the bombings.

Since the conflict between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces began on April 15, an estimated 5,000 people have lost their lives, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data project.

The Sudanese Armed Forces have control of the airspace and have conducted frequent airstrikes, while the RSF fighters dominate the streets of the capital.

Western countries have accused the paramilitaries and allied militias of ethnically motivated killings in the western Darfur region, leading to a new investigation by the International Criminal Court into alleged war crimes. The regular army has also faced allegations of abuses, including a July 8 airstrike that resulted in the deaths of approximately two dozen civilians.

More than half of Sudan's 48 million population now require humanitarian aid and protection, with six million at risk of famine, as per the United Nations. Despite challenges such as insecurity and looting, the UN has managed to provide aid to millions in need.

The war has internally displaced around 3.8 million people, with another million crossing borders into neighboring countries. Among the displaced are nearly 2.8 million from Khartoum, accounting for more than half of the capital's pre-war population of around five million.

Those who remain in Khartoum are struggling to survive, rationing water and electricity. The resistance committees in Khartoum have played a crucial role in providing relief, helping rescue survivors from bombed buildings, delivering medicine despite gunfire on the streets, and documenting atrocities committed by both sides.

Despite nearly five months of conflict, there are no signs of the violence subsiding. Witnesses reported on Sunday that the army continued to target RSF positions in northern Khartoum using artillery and rocket fire.
