Iran’s position on nuclear weapons is not expected to shift in any major way, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in comments aired by Al Jazeera and carried by Iranian media on Wednesday. He noted, however, that the country’s new supreme leader has not yet publicly stated his own position on the issue, leaving some uncertainty around how the matter could be handled going forward. Iran’s former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the early stages of the U.S. Israeli war against Iran, had long opposed the development of weapons of mass destruction. His view was rooted in…

A judge in the US has ruled that the effective closure of the Voice of America (VOA) last year was “illegal” and that hundreds of its journalists should be reinstated. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth has given authorities one week to put the international broadcaster back on air. The VOA was set up during World War Two to counter Nazi propaganda. Just weeks after returning to office as president, Donald Trump issued an executive order to close the broadcaster which his officials accused of left-wing bias. Trump also ordered outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia to…

A U.S. treasure hunter who spent the last decade behind bars for refusing to reveal the location of missing gold coins has now been released, but the mystery surrounding the treasure is far from over. Tommy Thompson, the deep sea explorer who became famous for discovering the legendary SS Central America shipwreck, left federal prison on March 4, 2026, without authorities ever finding out where the missing coins are. Thompson, now 73, made headlines in 1988 when he located the wreck of the SS Central America off the coast of South Carolina. The ship, often called the “Ship of Gold,”…

Uganda recorded its highest export earnings ever in 2025, bringing in US$14.4 billion, equivalent to about UGX53.643 trillion, according to Secretary to the Treasury Ramathan Ggoobi. He revealed the figures while appearing before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee to respond to issues raised in the Auditor General’s December 2025 report on the Ministry of Finance. The announcement marks a major milestone for Uganda’s economy. It is the first time the country has reached that level of export revenue, a sign of how much the export sector has expanded in recent years. Reports on Ggoobi’s remarks say the strong performance was driven…

Just five days after being sworn in, Chilean President José Antonio Kast has moved quickly on one of his biggest campaign promises, starting work on a new border barrier along Chile’s northern frontier with Peru. On Monday, Kast visited the site near Arica, where construction crews have begun digging the first trench in the dry Atacama desert. The initial section is still small, only a ditch a few feet wide and deep, but the government is presenting it as the opening stage of a much bigger border security plan. Standing beside heavy machinery at the site, Kast described the project…

After nearly 27 years on the road, British adventurer Karl Bushby is about to keep a promise that sounds almost too unbelievable to be real: hand delivering a postcard he has carried across continents, jungles, ice, and borders for more than two decades. Bushby, now 56, is on the final European stretch of his long walk home and is expected to cross from Hungary into Austria, where the postcard will finally reach its destination in Vienna. Bushby began his journey in November 1998, setting off from Punta Arenas, Chile, with one extraordinary rule for himself, to make it all the…

A Belgian court has ruled that former diplomat Etienne Davignon can be tried over his alleged role in the events that led to the 1961 killing of Patrice Lumumba, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s first prime minister. Davignon, now 93, was a junior diplomat at the time and is the only surviving Belgian among those accused in a criminal complaint filed by Lumumba’s family in 2011. Prosecutors accuse Davignon of involvement in Lumumba’s unlawful detention and transfer, as well as in the humiliating and degrading treatment he suffered before his death. The Brussels court’s decision is a major moment in…

Pope Leo XIV has officially moved into the renovated papal apartment inside the Apostolic Palace, taking up residence on March 14 in the historic quarters that Pope Francis chose not to use during his pontificate. The apartment sits on the third floor of the palace and overlooks St. Peter’s Square, long regarded as the traditional residence of the pope. The move is being seen as more than just a change of address. As Leo’s pontificate approaches its first anniversary, the decision signals a new stage in his leadership, one that appears more settled, more structured, and more visibly rooted in…

Shokichi Iwata captured the WBC Light Flyweight world title after defeating Thailand’s Thammanoon Niyomtrong on March 15, 2026, in Yokohama, Japan.

He fought with urgency, pressure, and sharp straight combinations, using his size and rhythm well against the shorter and…
