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

A BBC article tackling the progress of the conflict in Sudan reports that entire villages west of the capital have been pillaged by the warring parties: referencing satellite images as visual evidence of the dire situation in Sudan. 

One satellite image shows the entirety of Abu Adam, a village south of Darfur, scorched by the combat fire between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.

Nyala, which borders Abu Adam, has been suffering from intermittent electricity cuts, due to fuel scarcity, cutting off the locals almost completely from the outside world. 

BBC columnist, Barbara Plett-Usher, managed to get input from a local journalist Essa Daffallah. 

"The RSF stormed the city with dozens of pickup trucks mounted with guns, and a large number of motorbikes," he said, adding that on Friday 19 May, "NGO offices and shops were looted."

"The hospital was emptied because it was in the fighting zone, most of the pharmacies were looted. All the residential areas in Nyala have been completely sealed off by barricades and digging ditches, so that the militias can't enter the residential districts."

A local activist, also, estimated that more than 600,000 internally displaced individuals who relied exclusively on humanitarian aid have received no assistance for the past month because of the heated clashes.

Yesterday, Sudan's army leader, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, accused United Nations Special Envoy Volker Perthes of stoking a brutal conflict with paramilitaries in a letter in which he called for replacing Perthes.

Commenting on the accusation, the United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said he was "shocked" by Al-Burhan's letter, which called for "the nomination of a replacement" to Perthes and accused him of committing "fraud and disinformation" in clearing the way for a political process, which broke down into six weeks of catastrophic clashes.

Al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who leads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, were supposed to meet for UN-mediated talks on April 15, the day the clashes erupted in Khartoum.

The gathering attempted to restart a transition to civilian administration that had been stalled since 2021 when Al-Burhan and Dagalo took control in a coup before splitting off. As their rivalry grew worse, the world community attempted to persuade them to strike an agreement on the incorporation of Dagalo's RSF into the regular army.
