The World Economic Forum (WEF) on Monday withdrew an invitation for Iran’s foreign minister to attend the Davos summit in Switzerland after an advocacy group urged it to bar Iranian regime officials amid nationwide anti-government protests that have left thousands dead.
In a post on X, the WEF confirmed that Abbas Araghchi would not be permitted to attend the five-day event.
«Although he was invited last fall, the tragic loss of lives of civilians in Iran over the past few weeks means that it is not right for the Iranian government to be represented at Davos this year,» the organization said.
The announcement comes after the advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) sent a letter to WEF President Børge Brende on Friday, urging him to rescind the invitation and bar Iranian regime officials from attending amid a brutal crackdown on civilians.

UANI CEO Ambassador Mark Wallace welcomed the decision, telling Fox News Digital in a statement after Araghchi’s invitation was withdrawn: «UANI commends the World Economic Forum for revoking the invitation of Iran’s Foreign Minister from this year’s gathering in Davos. Iranian regime representatives should not be platformed at international events given their crimes against the Iranian people and their long history of supporting terrorism.»
Iran is currently facing nationwide anti-government protests that have drawn a violent response from security forces and placed growing pressure on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), which tracks human rights violations in Iran, said on Sunday that nationwide protests continued into the 22nd day as President Donald Trump weighs possible U.S. military action.

The group’s aggregated figures showed 624 recorded protests, the arrest of at least 24,669 people and the confirmed deaths of 3,919 individuals.
HRANA said 3,685 of those killed were protesters, including 25 children under the age of 18.
Nearly 9,000 deaths remain under investigation.
White House press secretary Karoline Levitt said at a press briefing last week that the Trump administration was closely watching the situation in Iran.

El Ejército de Israel asegura haber matado a unos 850 miembros del grupo chií Hezbollah en el Líbano, donde las autoridades elevan el total de fallecidos a alrededor de 1.250 desde que comenzaron los ataques israelíes al país.
“Hemos eliminado a más de 850 terroristas de Hezbollah. De ellos, 230 de la Fuerza Radwan (el cuerpo de élite de la organización)”, dijo durante una videoconferencia ante los medios el portavoz castrense Nadav Shoshani.
El Ministerio de Salud libanés elevó el lunes a 1.247 los muertos en el país por ataques israelíes, entre ellos 124 niños. En los últimos días Israel ha bombardeado hasta en tres ocasiones de forma deliberada ambulancias y centros médicos, matando a al menos 52 personas.
Otro ataque en el sur del Líbano mató recientemente a los periodistas Ali Shaib y Fatima y Mohamed Fatuni. Mientras que el Ejército israelí ha asegurado que el primero pertenecía a Hezbollah sin publicar pruebas verificables, aún no se ha pronunciado sobre los dos últimos.
El portavoz aseguró que el grupo chií ha disparado contra Israel hasta 5.000 municiones, entre drones, y misiles, que han matado hasta el momento a dos civiles israelíes en el norte del país.
Además, diez soldados han muerto en la operación terrestre en el sur del Líbano desde que Israel profundizó su invasión del sur del país hace un mes. Los últimos cuatro, anunciados este martes.
Hasta el momento, cinco divisiones del Ejército operan en el sur del Líbano, según el diario The Times of Israel: la 162 hace incursiones y la 146 tiene una posición defensiva en el área occidental; la 91 y la 36 mantienen ofensivas en la parte oriental y la 210 está posicionada en el Monte Dov (en la frontera entre los Altos del Golán sirios, ocupados, y el Líbano).
Una sexta, la 98 se prepara para desplegarse en el país vecino en el marco de la expansión anunciada por el Gobierno israelí de la “zona de seguridad” en el sur del Líbano, en referencia al territorio que ocupa militarmente para las operaciones de las tropas.
“En muchos casos actuamos en zonas fronterizas, pero en algunos casos llevamos a cabo redadas y operaciones selectivas en otras aldeas”, aseguró el portavoz.
Por su parte, el primer ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, ha afirmado este martes que la ofensiva lanzada a finales de febrero junto a Estados Unidos contra Irán se encuentra ya a “medio camino”, pero ha descartado matizar una fecha concreta para su fin.
En este sentido, ha aclarado durante una entrevista con la cadena de televisión estadounidense Newsmax que los objetivos de la guerra “se han superado más allá del ecuador” a pesar de rechazar “fijar un calendario” concreto para que los ataques terminen
Netanyahu ha insistido en que el objetivo principal de esta guerra son las “reservas de uranio enriquecido” de Irán y se ha mostrado optimista en lo referente a la ofensiva conjunta, la cual considera que “ha aportado avances significativos en el proceso de desmantelamiento de las capacidades iraníes”.
Además, ha aclarado que el objetivo “más importante” es “impedir que Teherán adquiera armas nucleares”. “Hemos superado el ecuador en cuanto al éxito de la misión”, ha recalcado, al tiempo que ha citado “éxitos” como el “debilitamiento de la infraestructura militar, nuclear e industrial de Irán”.
“Ya hemos mermado su capacidad balística, destruido fábricas y eliminado a científicos nucleares clave”, ha incidido el primer ministro israelí, que ha añadido que estos esfuerzos han hecho “retroceder de forma significativa las ambiciones” iraníes.
Es por ello que ha subrayado que la campaña militar “no solo tiene como objetivo debilitar a Irán en el presente sino también prevenir un futuro mucho más peligroso”. “Están buscando armas nucleares y los medios para lanzarlas contra ciudades estadounidenses”, ha advertido, no sin antes destacar que “de eso trata esta guerra, de evitar ese desenlace”.
El mandatario israelí ha aseverado que la fase actual de la operación se centra en “retirar el uranio enriquecido de Irán, un paso clave que podría detener de forma permanente su capacidad para fabricar un arma nuclear. La atención se centra en sus reservas de uranio enriquecido”, ha sostenido, al tiempo que ha matizado que el propio presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, ha exigido que el material sea retirado del país y entregado a terceros.

Trump’s proposed presidential library revealed as towering Miami skyscraper in striking new video
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A newly released animated video shows renderings of President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, featuring a soaring waterfront skyscraper and museum space.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, offering a first look at the proposed project, while his son, Eric Trump, posted it on X with additional details, describing the project as a «lasting testament» to his father and his legacy.
«Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,» Eric Trump wrote, adding that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to «an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.»
«These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!» he added.
Eric Trump has been leading the project’s development and serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

The video, set to dramatic orchestral music, opens with sweeping aerial shots of the proposed waterfront site, showing landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green spaces before revealing the towering glass structure.
It shows a tall glass tower topped with a spire, with Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the facade and a large American flag draped down the center. A presidential plane resembling Air Force One is showcased on the ground floor, alongside gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional renderings show military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a towering gold statue of Trump, a stage and large-scale digital displays.

The design also includes replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a planned ballroom.
The presidential library is set to be designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted in late September to transfer the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

The proposed site, located near Trump National Doral, was briefly tied up in a legal battle after a federal judge paused the land transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The Miami site is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and is adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled communism in the 1960s and 1970s and sought asylum in the United States. The 100-year-old structure is considered a symbol of the city’s vibrant immigrant heritage.
The site is surrounded by luxury high-rise apartment buildings and has waterfront views, facing directly toward the Kaseya Center, home to the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, where many of the world’s largest cruise liners dock.

The parcel was appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, but it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
President Donald Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Trump Presidential Library Foundation’s other trustees are Tiffany Trump’s husband Michael Boulos and Trump attorney James Kiley.
