A prominent United Nations Official has warned Russia’s Vladimir Putin against threats of Nuclear Weapons.

Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, told the security council that “the use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable under any circumstance.”

She continued by saying that “any threat or use of nuclear weapons is a clear violation of the principles of international law.”

This warning comes as tensions between Russia and the West continue to grow over the war in Ukraine.

Putin has been accused of violating international law by using nuclear threats to intimidate his opponents.

While it is unlikely that Putin would actually follow through on his threats, DiCarlo’s warning is a reminder that the use of nuclear weapons is a serious violation of international law.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.

The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.

Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.

Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.

Trump confirmed that a U.S. naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving towards Iran, as protests grow inside the country over alleged government repression. The show of force comes amid heightened regional instability and mounting pressure on the Iranian leadership.
