Won't withdraw from land seized in Lebanon, Gaza: Israeli defence min

Israel's defence minister said Monday that Israel won't withdraw from land seized in Lebanon as the interim deal between Iran and the United States is pending. Israel Katz's remarks were the first official Israeli comments after the announcement of the interim deal. The two sides plan to meet Friday in Geneva to sign it, Pakistan has said. Katz said Israel plans to stay "indefinitely" in lands it holds in Lebanon, as well as Syria and the Gaza Strip. Iran has tied the interim deal over the war to halting Israel's attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Katz also threatened that if Iran attacks Israel over Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Israel will strike Iran with "great force." Over the past two and a half years, Israel has taken control of areas in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria amounting to 1,000 square kilometres of territory - an area that is slightly smaller than New York City.

US-Iran peace deal may help boost India's exports, stabilise rupee

The announcement that the US and Iran have finalised a deal to end their 107-day conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is expected to boost India's exports to West Asia, which was severely impacted by the hostilities, spur manufacturing activity and help stabilise the rupee, according to exporters and experts. They said the announcement, if implemented successfully, would reduce pressure on India's import bill, ease inflationary covers and create a more conducive environment for trade. The peace agreement would be signed on June 19 in Switzerland. The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end a four-month war that disrupted global energy supplies, pushed oil prices above USD 100 per barrel, and brought the Middle East to the brink of a wider regional conflict. For India, which relies heavily on West Asia for crude oil, LPG and LNG supplies, the deal promises relief from high energy prices, pressure on the rupee, and inflation risks that intensified during the conflict, econom

Hormuz reopening may ease India's oil worries, curb inflation risks

A reopening or normalization of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would provide significant relief for India, one of the world's largest crude importers, by easing concerns over oil supplies, lowering freight costs and reducing pressure on inflation. The narrow waterway between Iran and Oman handles roughly a fifth of global oil consumption and serves as the primary export route for major Gulf producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar - all key energy suppliers to India. Supply of crude oil - the raw material for making fuels like petrol and diesel - and natural gas - the feedstock used to generate electricity, produce fertiliser, turned into CNG to run automobiles and piped to household kitchens for cooking - through the strait was disrupted since the start of Iran in the end of February. This triggered sharp increases in crude oil prices, shipping insurance premiums and freight rates. Industry sources and analysts said the reopening an

Trump heads to G7 summit in France: Key issues, leaders and what's at stake

Right after his 80th birthday party celebrations, US President Donald Trump is heading to a summit in France of the G7 club of powerful democracies to dive into issues - Iran, Ukraine, trade and more - that have been sources of friction with allies he will be meeting. Hours before leaving Washington, Trump announced an agreement to end the war - a development that could change the dynamic for the G7 leaders during the talks from late Monday to Wednesday. Just days ago, when the Iran-U.S. ceasefire was hanging by a thread, with resumed strikes, the gathering on the shores of Europe's largest Alpine lake appeared headed for stormy waters. Analysts speculated that tempers could flare and that Trump might not stick around for long in Evian-les-Bains, the Alpine spa town that's been enveloped in a security bubble for the G7 leaders and guests also invited by French President Emmanuel Macron, the host. Aside from France and the U.S., the other G7 nations are Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan
