US State Department spokesman Ned Price stopped short of holding Israel directly responsible for the Palestinian-American journalist's death.

“Saudi Arabia is a very important country in the Gulf,” she said. “It has shown a willingness and openness to hosting me. We've gotten a very warm reception from them."

 The US Defense Department website states that the US and its allies stand "in support of Ukraine in response to Russia’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine."

State Department spokesperson Ned Price responded to questions about the Iranian foreign minister's statement that Tehran had put forward a new proposal on reviving the deal.

The visit comes two days after the State Department signaled that it upgraded its Jerusalem office to the Palestinians, without opening a consulate in Israel’s capital.

A Russian proxy official in Kherson had publicly stated an intent to appeal to Russia to incorporate the Kherson region by the end of the year.

There have been a number of delays in the revival of the Nuclear Deal including the designation of the IRGC as a terror organization.

Antony Blinken said there has been an “alarming recession of democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights in many parts of the world.”

The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on seven people in the Western Balkans it accused of being a "threat to regional stability."

Iran has said that there are still outstanding issues, including Washington removing a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) designation against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
