    Germany Terminates Lease for 'Russian House' in Berlin

    Germany has announced the termination of the lease for the 'Russian House' in Berlin, a cultural institute suspected of being used for propaganda and espionage. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul made the announcement, citing long-standing suspicions and recent assessments by French intelligence. The building, operated by Rossotrudnitschestvo, includes exhibition rooms, a concert hall, and a cinema. It has been controversial since its construction in 1984, with some politicians calling for its closure. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the institute was placed on the EU sanctions list, and the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating possible violations of the Foreign Trade and Payments Act. The closure is expected next week, with employees to be expelled or fired.

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Pushes for Iran Deal

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other officials have stated that Iran's unwillingness to reach an agreement was the reason behind the failure of the Iran nuclear deal. Mnuchin's role is to encourage Iran to agree to a new deal, potentially through increased economic pressure. Trump wants to end the dispute with Iran, and believes that previous diplomatic efforts failed due to Iranian leaders not being ready to sign an agreement.
