Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that Iran has an «inalienable» right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes during a state visit to China on Wednesday, according to the Times of Israel.
«The right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is an inalienable right of the Islamic Republic of Iran,» Lavrov said during a Tuesday press conference following a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to the Times of Israel.
Access to said uranium has been a hard line for U.S. President Donald Trump in ongoing peace negotiations with Iran.
«There will be no enrichment of Uranium,» Trump wrote in an April 8 post on Truth Social, adding that the U.S. would be working with Iran to dig up all remaining nuclear materials in the country to ensure the Islamic Republic would not have access to any uranium.

Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation during Saturday negotiations with Iranian officials in Islamabad, Pakistan, doubled down on that red line.
«The enriched uranium that the Iranians currently possess, we have said that we want that to come our of their country, and we would like to take possession of it,» Vance told Fox News’ Brett Baier on Monday.

«The president doesn’t want to leave the next president or the president after that to be worrying about this program so we would like to get that material out of the country completely so that the United States has control over it.

Despite the U.S. hard line, Russia’s top diplomat appeared to openly defy the U.S. demand, speaking in strong terms against what he viewed as American global control.

«Neither China nor Russia, nor the majority of countries throughout the world, can accept this approach,» Lavrov said in remarks posted to a Russian state website.
The peace talks in Iran stalled, according to Vance, because of their refusal to completely give up their nuclear program. Nuclear experts praised the decision.
«The U.S. team was wise to walk away once it became clear the Iranians would not agree to Washington’s core nuclear demands. Tehran maintaining enriched uranium stocks and uranium enrichment capabilities provides it with a pathway to nuclear weapons, plain and simple,» Andrea Stricker, deputy director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ nonproliferation program, told Fox News Digital.

Panamá fue designada oficialmente como sede regional de la conmemoración del Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre 2026, distinción que posiciona al país como referente en los esfuerzos para fortalecer los sistemas de sangre segura y avanzar hacia modelos sustentados en la donación voluntaria, altruista y recurrente.
Cada 14 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre, como un homenaje al nacimiento de Karl Landsteiner, el científico austríaco que descubrió los grupos sanguíneos y recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 1930 por sus aportes fundamentales a la transfusión segura de sangre
El Ministerio de Salud, la Caja de Seguro Social y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) formaron una alianza orientada a fortalecer la gobernanza, el financiamiento y la coordinación de los servicios de sangre, garantizando una respuesta más eficiente y equitativa a las necesidades de la población.
Julio Arosemena, viceministro encargado de Salud, insistió en la necesidad existente de que más personas se conviertan en donantes voluntarios y periódicos, destacando que la disponibilidad de sangre segura es fundamental para la atención de emergencias, cirugías, tratamientos oncológicos y otras intervenciones médicas.
Anualmente, el país pasa por periodos en que las autoridades sanitarias deben hacer llamados a la población para que acuda a donar sangre, que en muchas ocasiones tiende a escasear.
Erika Zhong, jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud, recordó que una sola unidad de sangre puede salvar hasta tres vidas adultas o hasta ocho vidas pediátricas, mediante el aprovechamiento de sus diferentes componentes.
Una nota del Ministerio de Salud indica que la especialista señaló que uno de los principales desafíos del país es reducir la dependencia de los donantes de reposición y consolidar una cultura de donación voluntaria y recurrente que garantice reservas suficientes durante todo el año.
La jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud indicó que «la sangre no se puede fabricar; su disponibilidad depende exclusivamente de la solidaridad de las personas que deciden donar voluntariamente».
Durante una actividad conmemorativa del día del donante de sangre, las autoridades de salubridad coincidieron en señalar la necesidad de fortalecer la articulación entre las instituciones públicas, el sector privado y los organismos internacionales para optimizar la captación, distribución y uso de los componentes sanguíneos.
Ana Rivière-Cinnamond, representante de la OPS/OMS en Panamá, destacó la importancia de promover la donación voluntaria y recurrente como una acción capaz de salvar la vida de quienes más lo necesitan, según el Ministerio de Salud.
Destacó el lema de la campaña 2026: «Una gota de humanidad. Donemos sangre. Salvemos vidas“, un mensaje que pone en el centro la solidaridad humana y el impacto que puede generar cada donación.
La directora nacional de los Servicios de Salud de la Caja de Seguro Social, Marlin Cedeño, destacó que cada donación representa una oportunidad de vida para pacientes que requieren transfusiones debido a cirugías, accidentes o enfermedades que demandan componentes sanguíneos.
Cada unidad de sangre donada puede beneficiar hasta a tres pacientes, ya que de ella se obtienen componentes esenciales como glóbulos rojos empacados, plaquetas y plasma fresco congelado, los cuales son distribuidos según las necesidades médicas de cada paciente en los hospitales de la red institucional.
Como parte de la conmemoración, se desarrollaron jornadas simultáneas de donación voluntaria en distintos puntos del país, con el propósito de fortalecer las reservas nacionales y fomentar una cultura solidaria que contribuya a salvar vidas.

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States and Iran have officially reached a peace agreement, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
«The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
«Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!»
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country has served as a mediator, was the first to announce the peace deal, saying a signing ceremony is scheduled to take place Friday in Switzerland.

Trump added that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen once the parties formally sign the agreement.
«With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!» he said.

According to Sharif, the deal includes the termination of military operations across the region, including in Lebanon, where Iran-backed terrorist proxy Hezbollah has been engaged in conflict with Israel.
«Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,» he said.
Additional details of the agreement, including any provisions related to Iran’s nuclear program, were not immediately released.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister said talks with the United States on a final and more comprehensive agreement will take place during a 60-day ceasefire period, according to Reuters.
The outlet reported that the future of Iran’s nuclear program will be addressed in upcoming negotiations. Trump has long maintained that Iran cannot be in possession of a nuclear weapon and has repeatedly vowed to prevent Tehran from developing, acquiring or obtaining one.
Trump further praised his administration for securing the agreement.
«This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region,» he said. «Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace.»
Sharif also thanked the United States and Iran for their «commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict,» as well as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for their contributions to the mediation effort.
With the agreement now in place, mediators are expected to facilitate a series of meetings this week that could lay the groundwork for technical negotiations and the official signing ceremony, Sharif said.

The peace deal would formally end the high-stakes conflict that began on Feb. 28, which disrupted roughly 20% of global oil shipments that pass through the Strait of Hormuz and contributed to higher energy prices worldwide.
It comes roughly one year after Israel initiated massive strikes on Iran during Operation Rising Lion. The strikes sparked a 12-day conflict between the nations before Trump ordered strikes on a trio of nuclear facilities later that same month.
