一 | The next round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States will take place in Doha, Qatar instead of the usual venue of Vienna, and will occur sometime within the next few days, the Iranian Students’ News Agency reported on Monday.,“It is expected that negotiations over reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will be held in the coming days in Doha by Iran, the US and EU’s delegations,” ISNA indicated in a report on Iranian Ambassador to Qatar Hamidreza Dehghani’s meeting with Qatari Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulaziz al-Khulaifi.,Mohammad Marandi, a media advisor to Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani, confirmed to ISNA that the indirect talks, facilitated by the European Union, would take place in the Qatari capital, and said Iran “has chosen Qatar to host the talks because of Doha’s friendly ties with Tehran.”,In a press conference earlier Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed that a new round of talks on the JCPOA would take place this week, and that “one of the countries in the Persian Gulf will host” them. “The ball is in Washington’s court. If they come up with an answer, an agreement would be reached,” he said.,A source told Reuters that US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley will arrive in Qatar on Monday, and that the talks could take place Tuesday and Wednesday.,Iran Asks to Join BRICS17:19 GMT,The renewed negotiations, and at a venue besides Vienna, where Iran, other JCPOA members, and the United States have spent over a year discussing the restoration of the 2015 nuclear deal, comes amid media reports of behind-the-scenes agreements on a range of issues of concern to Tehran.,Iran has long insisted that the US remove its illegal sanctions against Tehran and the Islamic Republic’s elite Revolutionary Guard security forces from its ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’ watch list. Progress in this direction appeared to have been made last week, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas issuing a joint notice Thursday announcing the lifting a blanket ban on Iranian nationals who served in the IRGC as part of their military service from entering the US.,On Sunday, Ynet reported that senior Israeli defense officials had broken from Tel Aviv’s long-held opposition to the JCPOA, and expressed support for its revival. The outlet’s sources indicated that Mossad, which successfully lobbied the Trump administration into scrapping the nuclear deal in 2018, continues to oppose the agreement.,Separately on Sunday, Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Tel Aviv had relented on a US-negotiated deal to allow for the delivery of Iranian oil supplies to Syria. If accurate, the report would be a stark break from Israel’s previous policy, which has included efforts to sabotage tankers carrying emergency energy supplies to Syria as the US continues its occupation of the oil-rich third of the war-torn country.,Israel May Agree to ‘US-Brokered Deal’ for Iran Oil to be Shipped to Syria - Media09:40 GMT,Last week, Saeed Khaitibzadeh indicated that Tehran remains committed to JCPOA negotiations, notwithstanding the Biden White House’s pursuit of hostile policies similar to those of its predecessor. “In spite of all American violations and the continuation of Trump’s approach, this train has not yet derailed,” he said. “We are ready for a good, lasting and effectual agreement and consider that all grounds are prepared to achieve it.”。 A dark money group called the Resources Legacy Fund (RLF) that was awarded grant money by the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation provided funds to a law firm linked to “climate nuisance lawsuits” across the United States, Fox News reports, citing findings made by the watchdog group Government Accountability & Oversight (GAO).,According to the media outlet, GAO managed to obtain emails that were exchanged between major philanthropist Dan Emmett and Ann Carlson, a climate professor at UCLA, in 2017 when they were working with a law firm called Sher Edling to raise money for the firm’s efforts to sue oil companies on behalf of state and local governments.,In their correspondence, Emmett and Carlson mention how Sher Edling’s director of strategic client relationships Chuck Savitt received help from Terry Tamminen in the latter’s capacity (at the time) as CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.,"Chuck Savitt who is heading this new organization behind the lawsuits has been seeking our support," Emmett wrote in one of the emails to Carlson. "Terry Tamminen in his new role with the DiCaprio Foundation has been a key supporter.”,He also forwarded a message to Carlson that Savitt had sent him a few days prior.,"Wanted to let you know that we filed the first three lawsuits supported by the Collective Action Fund on Monday," Savitt wrote in the missive. "These precedent setting cases call on 37 of the world's leading fossil fuel companies to take responsibility for the devastating damage sea level rise - caused by their greenhouse gas emissions - is having on coastal communities.",Con Artists Swindle Woman Out of Over $800,000 via 'Leonardo DiCaprio & Scientology' Scheme12 May, 18:57 GMT,As the media outlet points out, the Collective Action Fund for Accountability, Resilience and Adaptation was managed at the time by the RLF, and two months before the aforementioned correspondence was exchanged, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation announced that they would contribute some $20 million in grants to various climate and conservation causes, with one of the recipients of those grants being the RLF.,The said grant was awarded to the dark money group "to support precedent-setting legal actions to hold major corporations in the fossil fuel industry liable," Fox notes, adding that the announcement has since been deleted (although it remains archived).,Between 2017 and 2020, the RLF reportedly provided more than $5.2 million to Sher Edling, with the dark money group’s spokesman Mark Kleinman telling Fox that they had provided grants to the firm so the latter would “pursue charitable activities to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for the accuracy of information they had disseminated to consumers and the public about the role their products played in causing climate change.",Since 2017, Sher Edling has sued major oil companies on behalf of both state and local governments in the United States, alleging that the said companies have "deceived the public about climate change," with most of these lawsuits currently being ongoing, the media outlet adds.。
