— 1d
BRICS leaders at the New Delhi summit are poised to approve a joint declaration that condemns unilateral war by any country while avoiding naming specific states, as they work to bridge the Iran-UAE gulf divide. The declaration, aligned with a broader push against unilateral sanctions and non-UN-authorized coercion, is expected to be finalized and endorsed on Saturday.

Putin appears to be seeking ways to prolong or broaden the war in Ukraine, despite diplomatic pressure and war-weariness at home, with warnings of possible escalations toward NATO states. Zelenskyy says Putin personally wants the conflict to continue, while noting that Moscow's mood could shift and that U.S. envoy efforts—Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—are being organized to push for peace, with September potentially altering the war’s trajectory as Ukraine and its partners pursue steps to protect civilians and achieve peace.

Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity, died in prison at 84 and was given a state-supported funeral in Belgrade that drew thousands and lavish military honors, despite ongoing international condemnation. The event exposed a stark divide between many Serbs who revere him and European Union officials who criticized the glorification of a war criminal amid Serbia’s EU accession process.

Trump calls Iran conflict 'a little war' despite warnings of weapon shortages
x/donald-john-trump
— Aug 31, 2026
Donald Trump has framed the Iran conflict as a “relatively little war” for the United States while accusing his predecessor of giving Ukraine about $300 billion in weapons for free, claiming Ukraine would have to pay through European NATO members. Reports also warn that the US missile stockpiles are being drawn down as authorities consider further strikes on Iran, feeding concerns about the ability to respond to threats from China and Russia.

The light-hearted (and slightly awkward) on-court banter is trending because it mixes post-match humor, a high-profile tennis-soccer couple, and Zverev’s known competitive edge, sparking widespread shares, laughs, and some side commentary.

Six Months After Iran War, Middle East Transformed
World
— Aug 27, 2026
Six 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.

ICC leaders say US pressure campaign threatens global rule of law

— Sep 3, 2026
The ICC’s current and former leaders warn that attempts to isolate the court are aimed at eroding the international legal order, defending the ICC as a last-resort arbiter for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes while respecting state sovereignty. They note that the Trump administration’s sanctions and pressure on countries to quit the ICC have intensified concerns about lawlessness and the sustainability of multilateral justice.

Sovereignty arguments cut both ways here. Countries want protection from international courts but also want those courts to punish their enemies.
