IAEA chief pushes for Zaporizhzhia power plant 'nuclear safety zone' deal
The head of the UN nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi has started consultations with Ukraine and Russia for his idea of a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the Zaporizhzhia power plant.
A Russian Lancet drone has reportedly destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system in Ukraine's Zaporozhye Region, signalling a potential blow to Ukraine's military capabilities. The strike, captured in an undated video released by the pro-Moscow Telegram channel 'The Wrong Side,' shows the HIMARS launcher being hit while on the move as part of a convoy near Novosoloshino. Although the system caught fire after the attack, it did not explode, as it was reportedly unloaded at the time. This incident highlights the growing challenges facing Ukraine’s defences amidst escalating Russian drone attacks and heavy losses on the frontlines. Russian forces have claimed significant destruction of Ukrainian military assets, including armoured personnel carriers, artillery systems, and ammunition depots. With casualties mounting and critical systems being targeted, Ukraine's defences appear increasingly strained.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Israel of proportional retaliation for any attack, particularly on nuclear sites, while reaffirming Iran’s commitment to the NPT. He criticized Israeli destabilization efforts and urged the IAEA to maintain a technical, non-political approach. Araghchi discussed limited prospects for reviving the JCPOA and emphasized Iran’s readiness for negotiation or confrontation. Regional trips showcased Iran’s support for resistance groups and countered anti-Iran propaganda amid Israeli threats.

Israel reportedly conducted an airstrike on Iran's top-secret Taleghan 2 nuclear research facility in Parchin in October 2024, completely destroying it. U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirm the site was active in nuclear weapons research, despite Iran's denials. The strike occurred amid rising regional tensions and IAEA concerns about Iran's nuclear program, with the UN watchdog chief warning that diplomatic opportunities are diminishing.

Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraine’s NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trump’s plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution.

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia “tonight” if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible.

As tensions escalate in Eastern Europe, U.S. officials have raised alarms about the growing military presence along the Russian-Ukrainian border. The Pentagon has warned that up to 50,000 troops, consisting of Russian forces and North Korean soldiers, are preparing to launch an offensive against Ukraine. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, these troops are being integrated into Russian military units in the Kursk region, located near the border with Ukraine. Austin expressed concerns that these forces could soon be engaged in combat, signalling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing war. The buildup of these foreign troops, along with reports of Russia providing North Korea with oil, anti-aircraft missiles, and economic aid in exchange for military support, has raised fears of a significant intensification of hostilities. As the conflict continues to evolve, both Russia and North Korea have become increasingly intertwined in military strategy, with the possibility of further destabilising the region. Ukraine, still recovering from its initial offensives, remains on high alert as this new threat looms large.
