🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranians gathered outside the Foreign Ministry chanting:

"Death to Araghchi, the dishonorable compromiser!"

Iran's hardliners are furious over the draft's concessions on the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear guarantees, and delayed US withdrawal.

And now Iranian citizens are in the street calling their own negotiator a disgrace for giving too much away.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian hardliner Nabavian is very unhappy with the nuclear section of the new Iran deal:

"Iran keeps giving America written guarantees, but America gives nothing equal on future sanctions.

Iran explicitly committed: 'will never produce or acquire nuclear weapons,' wording pushed by the US.

All enrichment, HEU stockpiles, and even 'nuclear-related matters' (reactors, medicine, electricity) must be resolved in a final framework that satisfies America.

Stockpiles to be diluted 'under IAEA supervision and American considerations.'

These are America’s demands presented in the language of the Islamic Republic. Araghchi must explain this to the people."

: A violent dispute erupted inside a crowded shopping mall, sending terrified shoppers fleeing for safety and leaving two people hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

The Greenville Police Department and the Greenville County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of gunfire at the Haywood Mall on Haywood Road. First responders located two shooting victims on the scene. Both individuals were immediately transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Law enforcement officials quickly flooded the shopping complex, establishing a heavy presence around the perimeter and evacuating the building store-by-store to clear out remaining customers and staff. A preliminary investigation revealed that the incident was not a random mass shooting, but rather a targeted dispute between individuals that rapidly escalated into gunfire.

Since law enforcement's arrival, several people have been detained for questioning, and police confirmed that no further shots have been fired. The mall remains closed as detectives and forensics teams secure the crime scene to uncover the exact circumstances surrounding the altercation.

Romance-Investment Fraud Suspect Arrested in Istanbul After Allegedly Defrauding Hong Kong Dentist of $2.6 Million

Turkish authorities have arrested a Nigerian national in Istanbul in connection with an alleged romance-investment fraud scheme that reportedly cost a Hong Kong-based dentist approximately $2.6 million over a two-year period.

According to reports, the suspect allegedly posed online as a wealthy American businessman identified as “Richard,” gaining the trust of the victim, a dentist identified as Siu. Investigators say he cultivated a romantic relationship with the woman, promised marriage, and persuaded her to invest large sums of money by claiming he could generate substantial returns through investment opportunities.

Authorities allege that the suspect initially transferred what appeared to be profits back to the victim after her first investment, a tactic investigators believe was used to build confidence and encourage larger financial transfers. Over time, the woman reportedly sent funds totaling about $2.6 million.

The scheme allegedly unraveled after the promised returns failed to materialize and communication between the pair gradually diminished. Realizing she had lost her savings, the victim sought legal assistance and reported the matter to authorities.

Turkish police launched an investigation that ultimately led to the arrest of the suspect, identified in reports as 43-year-old Kingsley Or. During the operation, authorities also detained six other individuals believed to be connected to the alleged fraud network.

The suspects have reportedly been handed over to prosecutors for further legal proceedings as investigations continue.

Law enforcement officials have urged the public to exercise caution when engaging in online relationships involving financial requests or investment opportunities, warning that romance and investment scams remain among the fastest-growing forms of cyber-enabled fraud worldwide.

AfrikTimes will continue to monitor developments in the case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
