Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski stated that Ukraine is ready to assist in unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, however, so far, allies have not asked for this, although they have requested technical expertise. Zelenski emphasized that Ukraine has significant experience in protecting maritime routes, gained in the context of the Black Sea conflict. According to him, similar situations have already been successfully managed by the authorities in Kiev. “We paralyzed the Russian Fleet in the Black Sea and pushed them away from the corridor. Then we organized convoys for civilian ships using maritime drones to counter Russian helicopters and other offensive…

Deeply buried about 500 meters inside a mountain in central Iran, the Yazd missile base is described by experts more as an underground fortress than a simple bunker. Constructed in the solid granite of the Shirkuh massif — one of the toughest geological formations — the facility could withstand extreme pressures, surpassing the limits of conventional building materials. This type of protection poses significant obstacles even for American ammunition specifically designed for the destruction of fortified targets, such as the GBU-57 bomb. Inside, the complex is organized like an extensive network of tunnels, more akin to an “underground city” than…

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban convened an extraordinary meeting of the Defense Council on Sunday, accusing Ukraine of plotting sabotage against the pipeline transporting Russian gas to Hungary via Serbia, after Serbian authorities announced they had discovered explosives near this pipeline. Ukraine denies any involvement and suggests that this could be a Russian false flag operation in the context of the upcoming Sunday elections. “This attempt at a terrorist attack fits perfectly into a series of actions through which Ukrainians are constantly trying to interrupt the supply of gas and oil from Russia to Europe,” declared the Hungarian Foreign Minister…

Bulgaria has asked the European Union to help it combat Russia’s interference ahead of this month’s parliamentary elections. According to correspondence analyzed by Politico, Sofia’s appeal included a request for the EU’s diplomatic service, the European External Action Service (EEAS), to detect and analyze campaigns by foreign actors intended to manipulate public opinion. Sofia also requested that the EU activate a process called the “rapid reaction system” under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This process, which the Commission confirmed last week that it had initiated, stipulates that the body should consult with the main social media platforms to identify and…

A month since the beginning of the conflict, more and more Iranians are talking about fear, poverty, and uncertainty. The bombings, loss of jobs, and lack of basic resources have turned daily life into a struggle for survival. For “Setareh”, an interlocutor from Iran named as such by the BBC, the war seemed, at first, a distant reality, limited to other areas of Tehran. Everything changed in an instant. “I think it’s a bomb”, she shouted to her colleagues, after hearing a loud noise and feeling the building vibrate. They fled to the roof, where they saw the smoke rising…

The wars in Iran and Ukraine are becoming increasingly intertwined as the weeks pass – to the point where some analysts argue that the two conflicts are beginning to merge, writes The Guardian in an analysis of the two major armed conflicts in the world today and the chances of them leading to a third world war, if this has not already happened. It is difficult to predict how each war will affect the trajectory of the other, but it is already clear that their interconnection is drawing more countries into both conflict hotspots, extending an arc of instability that…

If the US president will implement his threat to withdraw, Russia would become the only nuclear superpower in Europe, and the North Atlantic alliance would likely be fatally weakened, writes The Times in an analysis. Before invading the whole of Ukraine in 2022, President Putin demanded the withdrawal of NATO forces from member states that were once part of the Kremlin’s sphere of influence. Such a move would have left countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland more vulnerable to a Russian attack. NATO itself would have also been weakened, perhaps fatally. It is no wonder that the military alliance…
