Глава внешнеполитического ведомства ЕС в понедельник посетит Иран

Ожидается, что верховный представитель Европейского Союза по внешней политике и политике безопасности Джозеп Боррелл в понедельник, 3 февраля, посетит Тегеран, согласно информации, опубликованной пресс-секретарем МИД Ирана Сейедом Аббасом Мусави со ссылкой на информационное агентство Tasnim.

Следуя по стопам своих двух предшественников, Кэтрин Эштон и Федерики Моргерни, Боррелл лично и полностью участвует в «ядерном досье Ирана», и этот визит рассматривается ЕС как попытка спасти ядерное соглашение 2015 года между Тегераном и остальным миром.

Президент США Дональд Трамп в мае 2018 года в одностороннем порядке расторг договоренности и вновь ввел санкции в отношении Ирана.

Пять оставшихся сторон соглашения - Великобритания, Франция и Германия, а также Китай и Россия - обязались поддерживать соглашение, но Тегеран постепенно сократил свои обязательства по соглашению.

Боррелл сказал иранскому министру иностранных дел Моханмеду Джаваду Зарифу на их первой встрече в Дели, 16 января, что соглашение является «важным, как никогда прежде», учитывая растущую напряженность на Ближнем Востоке. Европейский Союз выступает в качестве координатора международного сообщества в их переговорах по ядерному соглашению с Ираном, и визит Боррелла, в начале его пребывания на посту главы дипломатии ЕС является признаком того, что ЕС хочет сохранить главную роль в переговорах, несмотря на то, что соглашение находится под угрозой срыва.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
