**Global Affairs Roundup: Key Diplomatic Updates from Egypt, Spain, Iran, and International Security Concerns**

Egypt aims to boost ties with Russia through trade and investments while Iran shows willingness for U.S. talks if hostilities end.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty visited Moscow to discuss strengthening bilateral relations and advancing joint development projects with Russian officials, emphasizing increasing trade and investment. Abdelatty highlighted Egypt's foreign policy focus, including safeguarding citizens abroad and supporting the national economy.

Meanwhile, in Spain, the first Palestinian ambassador, Husni Abdel Wahed, presented his credentials to King Felipe VI following Spain’s formal recognition of a Palestinian state in May. This recognition aims to inspire other European nations to do the same and support ceasefire efforts in the Israel-Hamas conflict, although Israel condemned the move, accusing it of supporting Hamas.

Shifting to the Middle East, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed openness to direct talks with the U.S. if Washington exhibits goodwill and ends its hostility, potentially reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. He also denied supplying hypersonic missiles to Yemen’s Houthis, despite tensions following a missile fired at Israel.

Back in the U.S., Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with federal gun crimes in an alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Florida. The Secret Service intervened, spotting Routh with an AK-style rifle near Trump’s golf course and arresting him after a brief chase, reminiscent of a previous attempt on Trump’s life in July.

Over in Europe, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, during his visit to Kazakhstan, highlighted the goal of boosting trade with Kazakhstan while ensuring compliance with EU sanctions on Russia. Both nations are keen to increase trade in oil and other raw materials, with Kazakhstan already assisting Germany by supplying crude to Berlin after Russia’s supply halt.

In response to heightened security concerns, President Joe Biden called for more Secret Service staff following the second attempt on Trump’s life. Biden stressed the urgency of addressing Secret Service staffing requirements to ensure safety, remarking, "Thank God the president’s OK."
