Milestones

• The Supreme Court quashed First Information Reports (FIRs), which are initial police complaints, against individuals who protested the NEET paper leak. • This decision followed an assurance from the Centre that legal cases arising from the July protests would not be pursued. • The ruling removes the threat of criminal prosecution for students and activists involved in the demonstrations.

• Between late June and early July 2026, global systems faced a convergence of political transitions, economic shifts, and intensifying climate pressures. • International actors are closely monitoring Tehran's succession process to determine if Iran will maintain policy continuity or recalibrate its nuclear diplomacy and regional security posture. • The situation is critical because Iran's internal political changes could redefine relations with Gulf states and cause volatility in global energy markets.

• On Monday, June 15, RTL Today reported on a potential US-Iran peace deal and significant EU membership milestones for Ukraine and Moldova. • The news roundup highlighted global economic outlooks, AI developments, and anti-G7 protests that took place in Geneva. • In sports, Germany dominated Curaçao 7-1 in the World Cup, while other notable results included Australia beating Turkey 2-0 and a 1-1 draw between Brazil and Morocco.
