Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in Moscow that Russia is prepared to transport and store Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium. Speaking at a press conference, he recalled that Moscow had previously removed enriched uranium from Iran in 2015 and stated that Russia is ready to repeat that experience.

Putin explained that all parties involved in the conflict had initially agreed to move the uranium outside Iran. However, the United States later hardened its stance, insisting that the uranium be transferred only to U.S. territory. In response, Iran also adopted a tougher position. Putin added that Moscow will continue to maintain communication with both Washington and Tehran.

He expressed hope that the conflict would end as soon as possible. There was no immediate comment from Iran regarding Putin’s statement, according to the report sourced from Al Jazeera.

According to a report by Amar Desh published on May 10, 2026, the death verdict of BNP Standing Committee member Salauddin Quader Chowdhury was allegedly written inside Bangladesh’s Law Ministry rather than by the International Crimes Tribunal judges. The report claims that under the supervision of then–State Minister for Law Kamrul Islam, a team of three officials prepared the verdict based on dictation from Dr. Ahmed Ziauddin. The document was reportedly emailed from the acting law secretary’s personal account to the tribunal chairman’s email on September 30, 2013, a day before the verdict was read in court.

The report cites tribunal officials, ministry staff, and Chowdhury’s family members, who alleged that the verdict was predetermined and politically motivated. Chowdhury’s lawyers argued in court that the judges merely read a verdict written elsewhere, and Amnesty International and the International Court of Justice later questioned the fairness of the trial. The government subsequently prosecuted several individuals for leaking the verdict copy.

Chowdhury was executed on November 22, 2015. His family and lawyers continue to describe the case as a “judicial killing,” while his son Hummam Quader Chowdhury later testified that he was abducted and tortured for seeking justice for his father’s death.

A Palestinian family in Jenin was forced by Israeli settlers to exhume and relocate their father’s body only hours after his burial. The settlers claimed that the cemetery land was part of the nearby Sa-Nur settlement and compelled the family to remove the remains from the grave.

According to the report, the family complied under pressure from the settlers, who asserted ownership of the burial site. The incident has drawn condemnation from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which described it as part of the ongoing inhumane treatment faced by Palestinians.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, highlights continuing tensions in the occupied territories, where disputes over land and burial rights remain a source of conflict between settlers and Palestinian residents.

Syria has expressed full solidarity with Bahrain following the arrest of 41 individuals accused of having ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to Syria’s state news agency SANA, the Syrian government pledged complete support for Bahrain’s efforts to maintain security and stability in the country.

Bahrain announced on Saturday that it had detained 41 people allegedly connected to the IRGC. The report also noted that Egypt and Kuwait had earlier expressed similar solidarity and support for Bahrain in this matter.

The statement underscores regional alignment among several Arab states in backing Bahrain’s internal security measures amid concerns over alleged Iranian influence in the Gulf region.

Iran is currently reviewing a peace proposal sent by the United States and will respond at what it calls a 'suitable time'. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed that Iranian authorities are examining the proposal and preparing a formal reply. He stated that Iran’s main objective is to end the ongoing war and that Tehran has already sent a 14-point plan to Washington outlining its approach.

According to Baghaei, all relevant Iranian stakeholders, including the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), senior diplomats, parliament members, and negotiation teams, are involved in reviewing the US proposal. The final decision on Iran’s response will come from the country’s Supreme Leader. While Baghaei did not specify a timeline, he emphasized that the response could come at any moment deemed appropriate for Iran.

The statement underscores Tehran’s focus on narrowing differences with Washington and finding a path toward ending hostilities, though the exact timing and content of Iran’s reply remain uncertain.

Israeli air and artillery attacks have sharply escalated across southern Lebanon, affecting an area spanning about 10 kilometers. The strikes followed evacuation orders issued by Israeli forces for residents of nine towns and villages in the region. Over the past 48 hours, casualties have continued to rise as Israeli aircraft, drones, and artillery targeted multiple sites within what Israel has designated as the 'Yellow Zone' inside Lebanese territory, reportedly demolishing homes and structures.

The escalation comes just days before a scheduled round of limited diplomatic talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington next week. The renewed violence has emerged at a time when there was faint hope of extending the current ceasefire. In response, the Lebanese government is preparing to present several demands to Israel, including assistance for rebuilding destroyed villages, the release of detainees, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.

Both sides are now looking toward the upcoming diplomatic discussions amid heightened regional tension and uncertainty over the ceasefire’s future.

In the char areas of Islampur upazila in Jamalpur, Bangladesh, government primary schools are reportedly facing severe neglect and irregular teaching despite having appointed teachers and infrastructure. Field visits to Sapdhari and Belgacha unions revealed classrooms being used for household work or storage, and in some cases, night guards conducting lessons instead of teachers. At Dighair Government Primary School, the head teacher allegedly allows a night guard to teach classes, while attendance of both teachers and students remains minimal.

Local residents expressed frustration, saying teachers rarely attend school and that many parents have shifted their children to nurani madrasas due to the lack of proper education. Similar conditions were observed at Char Barul Government Primary School, where the building stands empty most of the time. Parents and community members fear the future of their children is at risk due to prolonged negligence.

Upazila Primary Education Officer Jahanara Begum stated that the schools will be inspected soon and necessary actions will be taken following the findings.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Europe will remain incomplete and weak in facing crises if Turkey is not given its rightful place within the European framework. He made the remarks on Saturday in a message marking Europe Day. Erdogan described the Schuman Declaration as not only a symbol of the European Union but also a reflection of the continent’s commitment to peace, cooperation, and mutual respect.

He noted that the founding principles of the European Union, established 76 years ago, are being tested by wars, political instability, and economic challenges. Erdogan emphasized that these global crises have compelled the EU to adopt more inclusive and unified policies, with Turkey remaining an indispensable and undeniable part of this process as a candidate country.

Reaffirming Turkey’s commitment to advancing relations with the EU on the basis of equality and mutual promises, Erdogan expressed hope that the bloc would show the same sincerity. He added that Europe needs Turkey more than Turkey needs Europe and extended his best wishes to the people of Europe and Turkey on Europe Day.

In a joint statement issued on Saturday, AB Party Chairman Mojibur Rahman Monju and Secretary General Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad said the indiscriminate shooting of unarmed Bangladeshi citizens violates international law, human rights, and neighborly relations.

The statement criticized the Bangladesh government for failing to take effective diplomatic and political measures despite repeated incidents of border killings, leaving citizens at serious risk. The leaders emphasized that while smuggling and illegal trade are real issues, they must be addressed through law enforcement rather than lethal force. They called for stronger diplomatic dialogue, joint patrols, information sharing, and rule-based measures between Bangladesh and India.
