Russian officials urged the UK to abandon its 'hostile stance' toward Ukraine, saying such a position could escalate the conflict to a new level.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Aug. 25 at an event in the Israeli-occupied West Bank that a diplomatic agreement between the United States and Iran is impossible. He said talks with US President Trump had focused on three options — reaching a deal, military strike, or tightening a blockade — and that the US had chosen to further tighten the blockade on Iran and its proxies. Netanyahu added that multi-front security challenges in the Middle East persist and that Israel will continue related military and security operations.
