'Soldiers announce dissolution of Benin govt'

 Soldiers appeared on Benin's national television on Sunday, announcing that the government will be dissolved.

In what appears to be a military coup, the soldiers, from a group calling itself the "Military Committee for Refoundation," led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri, said that Benin President Patrice Talon, who has been serving as the head of state since 2016, has been overthrown.

The French embassy in the country previously said that there were reports of gunfire close to Talon's residency, urging the French community to stay at home. It is currently not known where Talon is.

'Iran: No direct communications line with US'

 Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei underscored in a press briefing on Sunday that Tehran and Washington have no direct communication channel.

"Our official communication channel with the United States is the US Interests Section in Tehran, for which the Swiss embassy serves as the protecting power. Conversely, the Iranian Interests Section in Washington is considered our official channel in the US ... Claims of a special or direct line are incorrect," he insisted.

Talking about the new document on the US National Security, the spokesman commented that "from [its] essence, we can assess that the US positions itself as a judge in the affairs of countries worldwide - a role that no party accepts." He stressed that this is more of a "security document for the Israeli regime."
