Russia, US see grounds for financial ties, Russian finance minister says

Dialogue between Russia and the U.S. ​should continue to ​find common ground in economics, which ​should make it easier to discuss political issues, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said, according to an Interfax ‌news ⁠agency report ⁠on Wednesday.


Asked about a bilateral meeting with U.S. ​Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held on Monday at the G20 ​finance leaders conference in North Carolina, Siluanov said both countries have agreed that there ​are grounds for developing financial ⁠ties despite ‌complications, Interfax reported.


Siluanov, who said ​he was ​meeting with Bessent for the ⁠first time, said he believed that people ​from the financial world sometimes may ​find common understanding faster than politicians.


"So we must always keep talking; we need to continue the dialogue. If we find strong points of common interest - and they do ‌exist - we need to develop them. Then political issues will also be easier ​to ​resolve," he said, ⁠according to Interfax.

Iran-US war live news updates: Iran strikes US bases in Erbil, Bahrain as Tehran retaliates for American attacks

Iran-US war live news updates: Iran expanded its retaliatory attacks against the United States on Wednesday, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) saying it struck US bases in Erbil, Iraq, with missiles and drones and targeted US forces at an air base in Bahrain, according to Iranian state media.

The attacks came after the US military said it had completed its latest strikes against Iranian targets, while President Donald Trump warned of further action if Tehran retaliated.

Iranian state media reported that the IRGC had struck US bases in Erbil with missiles and drones. Tehran also said it had targeted US forces at a Bahrain air base.

The latest Iranian attacks followed a fresh round of US strikes on Iran. The US military said its latest operation had targeted Iranian military assets, including air-defence systems, radar stations and maritime targets.

Explosions were also reported over the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba as Iran said it was retaliating against the US strikes.

Iranian forces also warned that the American attacks would have consequences for the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC said US attacks would “tighten the lock” on the strategically vital waterway, through which a major share of global oil supplies normally passes.
