France, UK + Germany ready to sign nuclear deal, says Iran
Three countries are apparently ready to sign a nuclear agreement with Iran: Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said his country has agreed with France, Germany and the UK on a draft text to revive the 2015 nuclear pact, while the US has “accepted” that it has to address “a few key remaining issues,” he said in a televised interview, according to Bloomberg. Iran has made it clear that it has one condition before finalizing the agreement: The US has to take the Revolutionary Guard off of its terror list, a demand that Washington is reportedly considering.
North Korea on Thursday said it had launched a long-range test of a “new kind” of intercontinental ballistic missile, in the first such test since 2017, reports Reuters. The move comes as a way for North Korea to flaunt its military and nuclear prowess at a time where global tensions are at a high. The missile landed off the west coast of Japan, within the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), leading Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to call the test an “unacceptable act of violence.”
You’ve GOT to watch the video North Korea released to go with it.
