    Iran Foreign Minister Returns to Pakistan, Says He Delivered Specific Terms Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi returned to Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, on April 26, Iranian state media reported, a day after he left for Oman. According to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency and Yonhap News Agency, Araghchi met with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said in Oman and then headed straight back to Islamabad. Back in Pakistan after one day, Araghchi met with Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir, among others. Tasnim news agency said Araghchi “delivered specific terms” for ceasefire talks. Since April 24, Araghchi has been traveling to Pakistan, Oman and Russia. Expectations rose that a second round of ceasefire talks with the United States would move forward after Araghchi arrived in Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator. But after meeting Munir and other key figures in Pakistan and conveying Iran’s views and demands on a ceasefire, Araghchi left for Oman on April 25, making it difficult to predict whether the talks with the United States would continue. 2026-04-27 06:05:47

  • Daejeon O-World Says It Will Pause Photos and Videos of Its Wolfdog
    Daejeon O-World Says It Will Pause Photos and Videos of Its Wolfdog Daejeon O-World said it will stop releasing photos and videos of its “wolfdog” for the time being. In a post on social media on the 23rd, O-World thanked the public for their concern and interest in the animal’s condition, saying the wolfdog “is quickly regaining stability.” The park said it decided to halt photo and video filming because the animal needs “a calm and quiet environment above all else” to fully recover. O-World said it will provide an update once the wolfdog is stable enough to return to its original home and live comfortably. It also asked the public to watch over the animal with “warm hearts” so it can return to a normal routine. The announcement follows a recent post showing the wolfdog eating after it returned nine days after going missing. Some online commenters criticized the park for placing food on the ground instead of in a bowl. O-World said that if food is provided in a bowl, the animal may react sensitively to the sound and avoid eating. It said eating from the ground is a natural feeding method for wolves and has been used in the past as well.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-23 16:39:14
