Paraguay President Santiago Peña said the United States is asking Paraguay to boost beef exports to relieve elevated U.S. beef prices but has not offered Paraguay any export quota. Peña said rising U.S. demand and high prices are driving Washington to seek overseas suppliers. Measures already taken include allowing up to 300,000 tonnes of boneless beef imports at lower tariff rates — a move likely to benefit Brazil — and Argentina, led by Javier Milei, secured an additional 80,000 tonnes of beef export quota to the U.S. in broader bilateral trade talks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi met Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Thursday afternoon to discuss bilateral ties and regional developments, with a focus on the Palestinian situation. Araghchi said all countries, particularly Islamic states, have a moral and international-legal responsibility to prevent large-scale harm to Palestinians. He cited Israeli actions against Lebanon, Syria and other countries, and called for stronger regional coordination — including within the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation — to counter Israel’s expanding influence and actions that threaten regional security and stability. The two ministers also discussed strengthening Iran–Egypt bilateral cooperation.
