🇮🇷🇰🇷🇺🇸 Iran Denies Hormuz Ship Attack as US-Iran Talks Stall
Iran's embassy in Seoul formally denied any involvement in the May 4 blast aboard the Panama-flagged HMM Namu, a South Korean cargo vessel that caught fire while transiting the Strait of Hormuz with 24 crew on board. Trump contradicted Tehran, claiming Iran had fired on the ship, and separately called on South Korea to join US-led efforts to restore shipping through the waterway. The incident occurred amid an active US-Israel conflict with Iran launched in late February.
Trump paused a short-lived US military operation to reopen the strait, citing progress in back-channel diplomacy, while warning that strikes would resume at higher intensity if talks collapsed. Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed a new US proposal remains under review, with Tehran set to relay its position through mediator Pakistan. Iran's chief negotiator publicly framed the US posture as an attempt to force surrender via naval blockade and economic pressure.
No formal response from Tehran has been issued, leaving the diplomatic track in deadlock as Hormuz transit risk remains elevated.

🇫🇷🌍 French investors pour over €4.6bn into Africa as Paris seeks diplomatic reset
France's development finance arm Proparco committed more than €4.6bn ($5.4bn) to Africa between 2022 and 2025, with €924m ($1bn) — 37% of its total 2025 global project signings — earmarked for the continent. In 2025, €450m was mobilised for African SMEs and start-ups through its Choose Africa initiative. French FDI stock in Africa stood between €60bn and €68bn in 2024/25, roughly 25% above 2018/19 levels. Major French multinationals including TotalEnergies, Orange, and CMA CGM have also expanded operations across multiple African countries, with TotalEnergies financing projects including the 1,443-kilometre East African Crude Oil Pipeline connecting Uganda to Tanzania's coast.
President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly urged French firms to invest more aggressively in Africa, arguing that hesitation has allowed rivals including Russia to gain ground in markets where France once dominated. A shift toward anglophone markets has also accelerated as anti-French sentiment in parts of West and Central Africa has weighed on commercial activity in Francophone economies.

Захарова прокомментировала антиазербайджанскую резолюцию Европарламента, подчеркнув неприемлемость подходов европарламентариев и к Азербайджану, и к России, и ко многим другим странам.
Представитель МИД России в ответ на запрос «Вестника Кавказа» поддержала решение Милли Меджлиса Азербайджана прекратить взаимодействие с Европарламентом после антиазербайджанской резолюции, принятой в ЕП 30 апреля.
«Решение Баку прекратить всяческие контакты с так называемым Европейским парламентом не вызывает удивления. Дело в том, что не только Азербайджан сталкивается с хамством, неуважением и прямым вмешательством этой структуры во внутренние дела суверенных государств. Резолюции – антинаучные, не просто политизированные, а фейковые – эта структура бесконечно штампует, как сломавшийся принтер. Язык этих резолюций в отношении третьих стран носит преимущественно высокомерно-менторский тон, как будто какая-то метрополия разговаривает со своими колониями», – сказала она.
По ее словам, Европарламент давно превратили в рупор ультралиберальных установок Брюсселя.
Дипломат добавила, что Россия поддерживает конструктивное взаимодействие с ЕС.
«Мы понимаем, что с другими евроструктурами Баку продолжает диалог и имеет на это суверенное право. Визит высокого представителя ЕС по иностранным делам и политике безопасности Каи Каллас состоялся в Баку 5 мая – и это суверенное право любого государства», – заключила она.

The 1997 rules that equated Ukraine with Russia and other post-Soviet countries in terms of arms purchases are being repealed.
Now Russia remains the only country under the ban.
