Iran on Monday ruled out suspending uranium enrichment as part of any nuclear deal with the United States -- a key demand from Washington in successive rounds of talks between the foes.

The issue has come into focus in recent weeks, with Iran staunchly defending its right to enrich uranium as part of what it says is a civilian nuclear program, while the United States wants it to stop.

Rescuers said devastating Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 52 people on Monday, 33 of them in a school turned shelter.

The Lebanese Army said it has taken into custody a suspect in last year's killing of a Lebanese Forces official, with help from Syria's new authorities, in a case that sparked public outrage.

Pascal Sleiman, an LF coordinator in the Jbeil area, was abducted and killed in April 2024.

Syria's new authorities have agreed to help the United States locate and return Americans who went missing in the war-torn country, a U.S. envoy said on Sunday.

Rescuers in Gaza said eight people were killed and several more wounded in Israeli air strikes across the Palestinian territory on Sunday.

The Israeli army said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Sunday, shortly after air raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem, according to AFP journalists.

"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted," the army said in a statement.

A massive Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv Saturday wounded at least 15 people, just as Russia and Ukraine were in the middle of a major prisoner swap.

Syria on Saturday hailed the formal lifting of sanctions by the United States as a "positive step" that will help its post-war recovery.

Iran's foreign minister described nuclear talks with the United States as "complicated", following the conclusion of a fifth round of discussions in Rome on Friday.

The talks, which began in April, are the highest-level contact between the foes since the United States quit a landmark 2015 nuclear accord during President Donald Trump's first term.

The United Arab Emirates recorded on Friday its highest temperature for May since it began documenting them in 2003 at a sweltering 50.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Center of Meteorology.

"The highest temperature recorded over the country today is 50.4°C in Al Shawamekh (Abu Dhabi) at 14:30 UAE Local time," it said in a post on X.
