Iran urges regional nations to build 'homegrown' security architecture Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has said that China’s emphasis on fostering common security “reflected a principle long championed” by Iran, urging regional nations to build a "homegrown" security architecture.  In a post on X, Ghalibaf said: “Regional countries must be taking their future into their own hands, and true stability can only come through a new security architecture that is homegrown. Iran stands ready.” Chinese President Xi Jinping used a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, this week to call on the bloc to "foster an environment of universal security" and push back against what he termed "hegemony, unilateralism, and protectionism."  Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian represented Iran at the two-day summit, marking the SCO's 25th anniversary. China’s emphasis on fostering common security reflects a principle Iran has long championed. Regional countries must be taking their future into their own hands, and true stability can only come through a new security architecture that is homegrown. Iran stands ready. — محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) September 4, 2026

'What do you call this but ethnic cleansing?' NYT columnist on West Bank demolition Pulitzer-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof said Israeli settlers had blocked him during his visit this spring to a few Palestinian villages, one of which has been cleansed of its residents since.  Kristof wrote on X: “I visited these Palestinian villages in the spring. Families were still struggling to farm the land of their ancestors despite repeated violent attacks by settlers.” “The settlers also blocked me but left when I tried to interview them. What do you call this but ethnic cleansing?” Kristof’s remarks came in reaction to a video posted by Yehuda Shaul, co-director of the Ofek Center and co-founder of Breaking the Silence, which shows the demolition of a Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Tabban in Masafer Yatta by Israeli authorities. Shaul warned that without serious international pushback, Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich's political agenda would lead to the destruction of more Palestinian communities in the area. Masafer Yatta, a cluster of Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron Hills, has faced a longstanding Israeli military campaign to displace residents under the pretext of using the land as a firing zone. I visited these Palestinian villages in the spring. Families were still struggling to farm the land of their ancestors despite repeated violent attacks by settlers.
