⚡️🇮🇷 – The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, said the U.S. should return to its commitments and abide by the Memorandum of Understanding, as cited by Mehr News.

The Iranian news outlet quoted the Foreign Minister:

We stressed that the Iranian nation will continue to stand for its rights, and this was emphasised in all the meetings.

The United States must return to its commitments and abide by the provisions of the memorandum of understanding. After that, we can move out of this situation, because all countries are concerned that the war should end as soon as possible.

We explained that the solution is completely clear and specific: America must return to its commitments and to the very agreement its president signed. In that case, everything can be put on the right track.

⚡️🇺🇸🇸🇴 – Kan News reports the Somalilander President, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, is expected to visit the United States in an effort to gain U.S. recognition for Somaliland.

He will visit both D.C. and New York to meet with members of Congress and, perhaps, even President Trump.

The report also says Israel "may" be trying to help Somaliland in its quest, but this could prove difficult since most regional powers, including Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, side with Somalia. Only Israel and the UAE have sided with Somaliland, and only the former has officially recognized it.

The U.S. government will have holding rights to a 35% stake in the company and veto power at the board. Washington will also have "preferential access" ⁠to 20% of the company’s production at cost and first refusal right for the remaining 80% of the output.
