Huawei CFO returns to work after extradition drama
Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Chinese tech giant Huawei, returned to work at their headquarters in Shenzhen after almost three years fighting extradition to the U.S. in Canada
The CFO was detained in Vancouver in 2018 after a New York court issued an arrest warrant, alleging she tried to cover up attempts by Huawei-backed companies to sell equipment to Iran – in breach of U.S. sanctions.
The years-long extradition drama has been a source of tension between China and the U.S, with Chinese officials signaling the case needed to be dropped to end a diplomatic stalemate.
“Over the last three years, although we have struggled, we have overcome obstacles and our team has fought with more and more courage,” Meng told employees at her welcome celebrations in Shenzhen.
Meng’s return also saw the release of two Canadian men who were arrested in 2018 shortly after her detainment
Meng was allowed to return to China after reaching a deferred agreement with New York prosecutors, which saw her accept “responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution.”
The U.S. Justice Department said the agreement pertains only to Meng, and that a case is being prepared against Huawei which will soon proceed to trial.
The two Canadians, businessman Michael Spavor and former diplomat Michael Kovrig, had been held in China for more than 1,000 days, after being accused of espionage.
Canada accused China of employing ‘hostage diplomacy’, by arresting the Canadian citizens as retaliation to Meng’s detainment.
Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.
The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.
The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.
Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
