Left-wing MP George Galloway launched his party's general election campaign over the weekend, taking aim at the two dominant parties in the UK over their stance on Israel's war on Gaza. Galloway said Labour leader Keir Starmer had "blood on his hands" over his refusal to condemn Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has killed around 26,500 Palestinians, and that his views on the war were "indistinguishable" from those of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who heads the centre-right Conservative Party. Starmer has faced huge criticism from the left-wing of the Labour Party for refusing to call for a...

Western powers fear Iran is seeking to develop a nuclear weapon -- a claim the Islamic Republic has always denied. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says Iran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to enrich uranium to the high level of 60 percent, while it keeps accumulating large uranium stockpiles. Uranium enriched to 60 percent is close to the levels of 90 percent needed for atomic weapons a...
