Tehran, November 16 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Western governments are once again calling for continued negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program after "failing" to achieve their goals through recent military action, according to Iran's official news agency IRNA.

A. Araghchi noted that calls for dialogue are "natural" after Western powers "failed to achieve what they sought with regard to Iran's nuclear program through military attacks." The diplomat added that there is no military solution to the issue.

He stressed that Iran would not agree to negotiations conducted under pressure, noting that they should be based on “reasonable and logical” principles, not “dictatorship and intimidation.”

According to A. Araghchi, the United States and Israel failed to achieve any of their goals during the latest conflict: although airstrikes damaged Iran's nuclear facilities, they failed to destroy Iran's technological capabilities and the resolve of its people. "Our facilities were destroyed, but our technology remained, and our will became even stronger," the Iranian Foreign Minister stated.

A. Araghchi pointed out that Iran is always ready for serious negotiations under the right conditions, and reiterated that diplomacy remains “the best way” to resolve disputes in the region.

Iran and the United States held five rounds of Oman-brokered proximity talks on Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of U.S. sanctions against Tehran. They were preparing for a sixth round when, on June 13, Israel launched massive air strikes on Iran's nuclear and military facilities, killing senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. On June 22, the U.S. military joined the attacks, striking Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.

BEIJING, November 16 (Xinhua) — China Eastern Airlines will launch a direct passenger flight linking Beijing with Oman's capital Muscat on November 30, Beijing Daxing International Airport said.

Flights MU2051/MU2052 on this route operate twice a week – on Wednesdays and Sundays.

A China Eastern Airlines wide-body Airbus A330 departs Beijing Daxing International Airport at 2:00 PM Beijing Time and arrives at Muscat International Airport at 7:55 PM local time. The return flight departs at 9:55 AM local time and lands at Daxing Airport at 10:00 AM Beijing Time the following day.

China and Oman enjoy deep, traditional friendships. In recent years, both sides have seen increased trade and economic cooperation and cultural exchanges.

In May of this year, China introduced a trial visa-free regime for holders of ordinary passports from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. From June 9, 2025, to June 8, 2026, they can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for business trips, tourism, family visits, business exchanges, or transit.

The launch of the aforementioned direct air service will promote further exchanges between the two countries and give a powerful impetus to practical cooperation and the further development of bilateral relations, noted the Daxing Airport administration. -0-

BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) — Chinese scientists have made a major breakthrough in lunar scientific exploration by analyzing lunar soil samples returned to Earth by China's Chang'e-6 probe, providing an important scientific foundation for lunar exploration, according to the China National Space Administration.

Researchers from Shandong University, the Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Yunnan University have discovered for the first time microscopic crystals of hematite /α-Fe2O3/ and maghemite /γ-Fe2O3/ formed as a result of large impact events.

This discovery reveals a previously unknown mechanism for the oxidation reaction on the Moon. It provides direct evidence confirming the origin of the magnetic anomalies around the South Pole-Aitken Basin.

The researchers identified hematite and maghemite in the lunar samples and confirmed the lattice structures and unique characteristics of primary lunar hematite grains using several methods.

An article with the research results was published in the journal Science Advances.

Since humanity first landed on the Moon, the Moon has been considered a generally reduced body with extremely rare or absent critical evidence of oxidation processes, particularly high-valent iron oxides such as hematite.

The study hypothesizes that the formation of hematite may be closely linked to significant impact events in the lunar history. Intermediate reaction products during such impact events include magnetite and maghemite, which possess magnetic properties and may be the mineral carriers of the magnetic anomalies observed at the northern edge of the South Pole-Aitken Basin during previous remote sensing missions.

The study provides the first reliable evidence for the presence of highly oxidized species such as hematite on the lunar surface in a general superreduction context, shedding new light on the oxidation-reduction conditions on the Moon and the origin of its magnetic anomalies.

In 2024, the Chang'e-6 probe made history by returning 1,935.3 grams of samples from the far side of the Moon to Earth. These samples were collected from the South Pole-Aitken basin, the largest, deepest, and oldest basin on the Moon.

TOKYO, November 16 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering revising the country's three non-nuclear principles, a move that is likely to spark a backlash, according to the Kyodo News Agency.

In updating Japan's National Security Strategy and two related documents, last revised in 2022, Takaichi is exploring the possibility of revising the third principle, which prohibits the import of nuclear weapons into Japan, Kyodo News Agency reports, citing government sources.

If this principle is changed, it would be a significant shift in the country's security policy and would almost certainly provoke a negative reaction at home and abroad, the report said.

The Three Non-Nuclear Principles include the renunciation of nuclear weapons, the renunciation of nuclear weapons production, and a ban on the import of nuclear weapons into Japan. They were formulated in 1967 by then-Prime Minister Eisaku Sato and later approved by a Diet resolution.

The National Security Strategy, one of three documents approved by the cabinet in 2022, states: “The core policy of adherence to the three non-nuclear principles will remain unchanged in the future.”

While Takaichi does not intend to reconsider Japan's position on renunciation of the possession and production of nuclear weapons, she believes that a ban on the import of nuclear weapons into the country could prevent American nuclear-armed ships from entering Japanese ports, weakening US nuclear deterrence, the report said.

During a recent hearing before the Budget Committee of the lower house of parliament, S. Takaichi avoided answering a question about whether her defense and security policy would be consistent with the three principles that Japanese governments have adhered to for decades.

An editorial in the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun notes that as a country that survived the atomic bombings, Japan has enshrined the Three Non-Nuclear Principles as a state policy that has long enjoyed widespread support among the population.

S. Takaichi must understand that the policy of adherence to the three non-nuclear principles cannot be changed by a hasty decision by the prime minister, the article says. –0–
