  • Zelensky to ink air security deal with Saudi Arabia on surprise visit

Ukrainian President Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia Thursday for an unannounced visit.

The two countries are set to sign an agreement on "security cooperation -- in particular, the protection of the skies", later on Thursday, a senior official told a media, speaking on condition of anonymity. Zelensky has said that more than 200 Ukrainian anti-drone experts have been deployed to several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, since the US-Israel strikes on Iran spurred retaliatory drone and missile attacks from Tehran.

Rubio says G7 nations should back reopening of Strait of Hormuz
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday that it was necessary for all G7 nations to push for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz currently blocked by Iran. Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State said “They should be doing something about it. Well, it's not help for us. Like I said, very little of our energy comes through the Straits of Hormuz. It's the world that has a great interest in that, and so they should step up and deal with it." Rubio also added that there was progress in talks with Iran, but refused to speculate on when they might end.Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State said "There are intermediary countries that are passing messages and progress has been made. So again, there's been some progress in regard to the exchange of messages, but that's an ongoing and fluid process and not one we're going to negotiate or talk about in the media." The other G7 members on Thursday signaled their hope for a diplomatic solution to the situation in Iran, which has rippled through the global economy due to the virtual closure of the Strait of Hormuz.mitv
