FRANCE 24’s Charles Pellegrin is pleased to welcome Dr Narek Sukiasyan, Senior Policy Researcher at Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Armenia and Adjunct Lecturer at American University of Armenia. He argues that while Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s victory does signal a continued ouverture towards the West ‘in the shape and form of the European Union” he must carefully manage Armenia’s dependence on Russia. The election was about far more than foreign policy, explains Dr. Sukiasyan. Security, social concerns, economic vulnerability, and the legacy of conflict were equally central to voters’ decisions. Armenia navigating multiple transitions at once: between war and peace, dependence and diversification, polarization and democratic consolidation.

Israel and Iran are trading strikes in the worst escalation since the April truce — a major test for negotiations. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis also fired a missile toward Israel.

President Donald Trump urged Israel and Iran to “stop ‘shooting’,” as the attacks threatened his fragile attempts at diplomacy. He later said the countries were aiming for a ceasefire while he insisted a deal is close.

CNN Jerusalem bureau chief Oren Liebermann has the latest on the renewed fighting, and CNN senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen reports from Tehran. Also, CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton has background on what led up to Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel.
