JUST IN: 🇮🇱🇬🇧🇫🇷🇺🇳 Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accused UK and France for colonialism:
“They accuse Israel, tiny Israel, of colonialism.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Lavrov and Araghchi gave the cameras exactly the photo Moscow and Tehran wanted.
Russia’s FM and Iran’s top diplomat met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in NY, a very public reminder that the two governments are still coordinating despite the war, sanctions and pressure on Tehran.
The message from that handshake is pretty obvious: Iran is not as isolated as Washington and Netanyahu would like it to look.

Araghchi urges Europe to abandon its destructive approach towards Iran
——
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on European governments to abandon their "destructive and irresponsible" approach towards Iran and regional developments during a meeting with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
According to a statement from Araghchi's office, the two ministers discussed bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments.
Araghchi attributed insecurity in the region and the Strait of Hormuz to "military aggression" by the US and Israel, with the support and complicity of some European governments, which he said had inflicted significant damage on Iran, the region and the world.
Araghchi said lasting regional security depends on ending the Israeli occupation and realizing the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, particularly their right to self-determination.

**Pezeshkian: “Our Money in China Is Blocked”**
Iranian President **Masoud Pezeshkian** says one of Tehran’s major economic problems is that **Iranian funds held in China are effectively blocked**, making it difficult for Iran to access its own money.
He argued that Iran cannot freely withdraw funds from a country to which it has supplied goods, let alone use that money to pay for imports or transactions elsewhere.
The remarks highlight how **sanctions, banking restrictions and payment channels** can complicate even transactions between countries that maintain close economic relations.
**Selling the goods is one thing. Getting paid—and actually using the money—is apparently the harder part.**

China rolls out its most powerful AI chip, teases 10-trillion-parameter model
China’s Alibaba is racing to build full-stack AI - models, chips, and cloud – independent of US technology.
The new Zhenwu V900 delivers triple the performance of its predecessor, the Zhenwu M890, CEO Eddie Wu Yongming said at the company’s annual Apsara Conference.
🔶 Zhenwu V900 is scalable to clusters of 500,000 chips for the largest models; mass production set for Q1 2027
🔶 Next Qwen models could scale to 5–10T parameters, far beyond today’s 2.4T flagship Qwen 3.8 Max
🔶 Models already identify weaknesses, run experiments and generate training data with limited human input
🔶 In massive infrastructure push, Alibaba Cloud aims for >20 GW global data-center capacity by 2032
If Alibaba delivers, China won't just survive US export controls, it could set the terms for the next decade of AI.
