Congratulations to the American people on this milestone 250th anniversary since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

We deeply value our strategic partnership and bonds of friendship with the United States. We look back with pride at our collaboration in defeating terrorism and look forward to strengthening our partnership for generations to come.

🚨 JUST IN: The CIA is working to ARM Kurdish forces to spark an UPRISING in Iran, per CNN, citing a senior Iranian Kurdish politician

"Kurdish-Iranian opposition forces will be going into western Iran as part of some kind of a ground operation at some point during the next few days that they will have support"

From being a refugee to meaningful global leadership, Kurdish resilience continues to make its mark on the world stage. The appointment of Dr Salih as the first Kurd to serve as UN High Commissioner for Refugees is a moment of historic significance.

[Barham Salih @BarhamSalih]

I am honoured to have been elected as the incoming United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As a former refugee, I know first-hand how protection and opportunity can change the course of a life. That experience will inform a leadership approach grounded in empathy, pragmatism, and a principled commitment to international law. My foremost responsibility will be to refugees and others forced to flee—upholding their rights and dignity and advancing durable solutions so that displacement remains a temporary situation, not a permanent fate.

At a time of record displacement and severe pressure on humanitarian resources, delivering on UNHCR’s mandate requires a renewed focus on impact, accountability, and efficiency. This is a shared responsibility. UNHCR will build on the important reforms undertaken in recent years to strengthen operational effectiveness and value for money. I will work with Member States and partners across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to mobilize the capacity, resources, and collective will needed to reach those most in need.

I am grateful to the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and to the General Assembly for their confidence, and to High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for his principled and tireless leadership during a period of extraordinary global challenge.

I look forward to working closely with UNHCR’s dedicated staff, states, partners, host communities, and, most importantly, refugees themselves to advance protection and durable solutions fit for both the promise and the perils of the 21st century.
