Gulf Flashpoint: Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi hit Kuwait hard after Kuwait accused Iran-linked figures of a sea infiltration and detained four Iranian nationals—Araghchi called it an “illegal” attack meant to sow discord and demanded immediate releases, warning Tehran will respond. Hormuz Pressure: Iran also doubled down on its Hormuz stance, saying control of the strait could bring revenues “twice” oil earnings and that it will not allow US weapons to transit. Big Diplomacy: Araghchi landed in New Delhi for the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting, signaling Tehran’s push for new guarantees as talks with Washington remain stalled. Iraq Politics: A US-linked warning on Iraq’s next government is growing—Washington says Iran-linked armed factions must have no role in state institutions. Culture & Identity: Iraq’s court backed a Christian woman’s bid to change her official religion from Islam to Christianity, a rare legal win for minorities. Sports Meets Politics: Iran held a World Cup departure rally while FIFA access issues and US entry fears linger.
