The agreement comes as the US moves to ease restrictions on exports of ethane, with the Commerce Department earlier this week telling energy companies they could load that petroleum gas on to tankers and ship it to China — but not unload it there without authorization.

(literally lmao about ethane and eda, china truly ruled by weird guys, ethane is easy to make, eda is needed to be made, engines are necessary evil if they are that slow on the uptake)

Lima, Jun 29 (Prensa Latina) Statements made by the Minister of Justice, Enrique Alcántara, published today, ruled out the possibility of Peru accepting an eventual request from the United States to receive detainees in that country.

Alcántara said that it would be counterproductive “to receive extradited or criminals of any other nationality in our country” and added that “this possibility does not exist because it does not comply with the current regulations” in Peru.

He also explained that Peru cannot receive inmates from other countries because its prisons are overcrowded, which is why five new prisons are being built.

He also reminded that there is only an agreement with the United States on the exchange of prisoners, only for cases in which nationals of one country who commit crimes in the other serve their sentences in their country of origin, if they so request.

The head of state thus clarified versions to the contrary citing previous statements of his that were misinterpreted, he said, and pointed out that he only affirmed that Peru does not rule out any measure that contributes to the fight against citizen insecurity.

“We were referring exclusively to the possibility of sending inmates to other countries, not to receive them,” he said about the possibility, under analysis, of sending very dangerous criminals from here to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

He added that the Government has not made any decision on this issue and is analyzing the conditions under which prisoners could be sent to El Salvador for a certain period of time, if the Peruvian Constitution and laws allow it.

Jurists and former prison authorities consider this possibility unfeasible due to the high cost that Peru would have to pay to the Central American country, besides the existence of legal obstacles.

Moscow, Jun 23 (Prensa Latina) Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi arrived in Moscow to examine the situation after the US attacks against the Persian country, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed today.

“Indeed, the Iranian Foreign Minister arrived in Moscow to hold a series of talks,” the institution's spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, told the press on Monday.

Previously, the IRNA agency advanced that Araghchi arrived in Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other high-ranking officials. According to the media, the head of Iranian diplomacy will discuss in Moscow the situation in the Middle East after the U.S. attacks against his country.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, the United States attacked several nuclear facilities in Iran, an act that was condemned by many nations of the world. The Iranian government warned that it was reserving all options to respond to the U.S. aggression.

Tehran demanded the convening of an extraordinary session of the UN Security Council to ensure that those responsible for this “flagrant act of aggression” do not go unpunished.

It also demanded an urgent meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) “to assume its responsibility” for the U.S. attack on civilian nuclear facilities under its strict supervision.

Iranian authorities claim that the United States acted “in full coordination” with Israel, which has been bombing nuclear centers and military facilities throughout Iranian territory since June 13, claiming that they constitute an alleged existential threat to the Jewish state.

So far, the Israeli attacks have left more than 430 dead and 3,500 wounded in Iran, according to the most recent balance sheet of the Ministry of Health.

The Iranian response attacks, according to the Israeli Health Ministry, have so far caused 25 deaths and more than 2,800 injuries.
