IJR News — today's news from every side

Lesotho expands male midwife workforce to curb deathsHealth — 1dLesotho is increasingly recruiting male midwives to expand the skilled birth attendant workforce and bring care closer to rural communities, a shift that supports a target to cut maternal deaths and is already seeing higher shares of births attended by trained providers. While male midwives face cultural barriers, outreach efforts and visible role models like Sehloho Ntlhane are slowly normalizing the profession and expanding access for women in remote areas.

Diplomats Return to Middle East EmbassiesWorld — 5dThe United States is gradually restoring staffing at several Middle East embassies that were evacuated or downsized during Iran-related tensions, with diplomats and some family members allowed to return and posts operating at limited levels (typically about 75–85% capacity) in places like Lebanon, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iraq’s Baghdad, signaling a measured move toward normalcy without full-scale restoration. The changes are largely driven by administrative and HR policies on how long personnel can be away while still receiving benefits, rather than a shift in broader policy toward Iran.

Six Months After Iran War, Middle East TransformedWorld — 3dSix months after the US-Israel strike on Iran, Tehran has endured the assault and regained leverage, signaling a more resilient and radical regime that challenges Western aims and could reset regional dynamics, including by exploiting the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Gulf Arab states are reassessing security guarantees from the United States, and Israel risks a deeper estrangement with Washington as it confronts protracted wars in Gaza and stalled normalization with Saudi Arabia.

Trump Submits Saudi Nuclear Deal Tied to Israel Normalization — 5dPresident Donald Trump has sent a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress, insisting it will move forward only if Riyadh normalizes relations with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords. The deal, aimed at involving U.S. firms in developing Saudi nuclear infrastructure, could reshape Middle East power dynamics and trigger sharp congressional debate over security and regional diplomacy.
