U.S. to Present Ukraine Peace Plan at Munich Security Conference

The Trump administration is expected to present its long-awaited peace plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine at the Munich Security Conference in Germany next week. Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, will reportedly present the plan to U.S. allies during the conference, which will be held from February 14 to 16.

Worst Mass Shooting in Swedish History

A gunman shot dead 10 people at an adult education center in the western city of Örebro. Investigators said there was no ideological motive for the attack, but there were initial reports the attack may have been motivated by anti-immigrant ideology since the school offered classes for immigrants.

Trump Administration Re-Imposes Economic Pressure on Iran but Signals Openness to Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memo to increase sanctions enforcement on Iran, in a return to the so-called policy of maximum pressure practiced during his first term in office. The order includes plans to restrict the export of Iranian oil, which violates existing sanctions that were not rigorously enforced under the Biden administration. At the same time, President Trump signaled his willingness to negotiate with Iran to reach a deal that would preclude Tehran obtaining nuclear weapons. The overture matches recent signals from Iranian authorities that they are also open to talks. Iran’s position in the Middle East is now significantly weaker than during President Trump’s first term after its major proxy militias were significantly weakened in combat with Israeli forces. Tehran possesses stocks of enriched uranium that could allow it to build a nuclear weapon within months, but doing so risks incurring a military response from Israel and the United States. Iran’s relative weakness could therefore lead its rulers to conclude that diplomacy with Washington is in their best interest.
