'No change in regional borders'
Iran supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in the region and will not accept any change in regional geopolitics and borders. The remarks were made by Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi in a meeting with the Armenian foreign minister in Tehran. Raeisi also called for the settlement of regional issues by regional countries, saying foreign intervention only complicates issues. He voiced support for peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two former Soviet republics have been locked in a deadly conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region for three decades. Raeisi also called for the expansion of Tehran-Yerevan ties, a position echoed by Armenia's top diplomat. Ararat Mirzoyan hailed Tehran's stance on the developments in the Caucasus, vowing that Armenia will never allow its territory to be used to target Iran. Mirzoyan had earlier met with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
'Israel on path to collapse'
The secretary general of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement says Israel is on the path to collapse, fragmentation and disappearance. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was referring to growing divisions in Israel over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial judicial overhaul plan. He said the approval of the first part of the plan by the Knesset marked the worst day in the history of the regime. The Hezbollah leader said resistance has shattered the illusion of Israel’s invincibility and the Arab world now regards the regime's army as vulnerable.
Sudan conflict
Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces says it’s time for peace after 100 days of war with the army. The remarks were made by a top RSF envoy as he attended talks in Togo to prevent Sudan's Darfur region from sliding deeper into war. He said the paramilitary group is willing to participate in any kind of peace meeting to stop the war in Sudan, including its western Darfur region. There has so far been no immediate response from the army. Sudan's war broke out in the capital Khartoum in mid-April and spread to Darfur. The armed conflict has led to the disruption of basic life in many areas. It has killed at least 3,000 people and displaced nearly three million. Several attempts for the establishment of a ceasefire have so far failed.
