'World needs Iran oil'
As Europe grapples with an unprecedented energy crisis, Iran has expressed readiness to fulfill its role as a major oil producer free from any politics. Iran’s oil minister says the world needs its crude supplies and the country can improve global energy security. Javad Owji pointed to the surge in natural gas prices in Europe, saying this will fuel demand for oil on the continent. Iran’s oil is one of a number of the country’s sectors targeted by US sanctions. This as Europeans face rising energy bills and shortages as the cold season approaches. The crisis has been aggravated by tensions with Russia over the war in Ukraine. Moscow has indefinitely halted its gas supplies to Europe over technical issues it blames on Western sanctions. Russia says it will most likely reduce its oil production by around two-percent and lower its gas production by some seven percent this year.
Killing of Palestinian journo
The Palestinian government has slammed an Israeli report on the killing of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as a new attempt to evade responsibility for her murder. A spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas says all evidence, facts, and investigations prove that Israel killed Abu Akleh, and that the regime must bear responsibility for its crime. Nabil Abu Rudeineh added that the Palestinian government will follow up on the case with all relevant international bodies, including the International Criminal Court. Abu Akleh was fatally shot on May 11 while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Abu Akleh’s family says Israel is trying to obscure the truth and avoid responsibility for killing the journalist.
US cyberattacks on China
China accuses the United States of launching "tens of thousands of cyberattacks" and stealing troves of sensitive data. The foreign ministry spokesperson further said the data hacked by a US spy agency included a government-funded university with aeronautics and space research programs. She called the move illegal, saying it seriously endangers China's national security and users’ personal data. The foreign Ministry has urged Washington to immediately stop such acts and provide a clear explanation. China and the US have traded blame for cyber espionage in the past. The two top economies remain at odds over a host of regional and international issues.
