Mounting security tensions in the Middle East, expanding trade between Türkiye and Syria, and Garabagh's UEFA Champions League campaign were among the main stories featured on AnewZ's Daybreak on 24 July.
The programme led with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Kyrgyzstan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers, where regional security topped the agenda.
It also examined Pakistan's warning that it could take action under international law if its maritime interests or Pakistan-flagged vessels are threatened, following Houthi threats against Saudi Arabia and shipping in the Red Sea. Islamabad reaffirmed its support for freedom of navigation and expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia as concerns grow over the security of key global trade routes.
