Addressing a Security Council emergency session as a fragile US-Iran ceasefire came under renewed strain following fresh military exchanges, Assistant Secretary-General Elizabeth Spehar said, “residential areas, ports, energy facilities, commercial vessels and maritime personnel must be protected” and “merchant shipping should not be used as a tool of pressure.”

The military exchanges have reportedly included in recent days attacks by Iran on Bahrain and Kuwait.

Ideas on the Move: Ma Yansong

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

"I’m an architect, so I build dreams."

When Ma Yansong joined us in Dalian for #IdeasOnTheMove, he shared a philosophy on design that goes far beyond function. For him, the built environment should inspire and connect us.

Growing up in Beijing, he discovered that nature could be emotional, dramatic – even spiritual. That belief shapes everything he builds: not just adding trees to a skyline, but creating genuine emotional connection to place.

He points to traditional Japanese dry gardens as the model – sand and stones that somehow evoke the ocean, the islands, the universe. That imaginative space, he says, is exactly what today’s cities are missing.

Bahrain on Iran – Media Stakeout | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Informal comments to the media by Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain on the situation in the Middle East – Security Council Media Stakeout.
—
Bahrain’s Foreign Minister told reporters outside the Council that “Iran has once again launched ballistic missiles and armed drones against my country, striking civilian areas in direct breach of its commitment under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding of the 17th of June to permanently cease military operations.”

He said, “these attacks must stop. Council resolutions must be implemented, and international commitments must be honoured. The credibility of this Council rests on not on adopting resolutions, but on seeing them upheld. “
