The authorities did not indicate the exact target of the missile, reports the press agency, taken over by France 24. Turkey “was not the target of the missile” launched by Iran, a Turkish official told…
Before the American-Israeli attacks on Iran, Washington mobilized in the region the largest concentration of forces and some of the most sophisticated weapon systems of recent decades. It was a clear signal that the White House administration was preparing for a high-intensity conflict. President Donald Trump had previously warned that the United States is “ready to attack”, and Saturday’s strikes – which led to the death of the supreme Iranian leader – turned this display of force into a military operation with a declared objective. On Sunday, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), the military structure responsible for American operations…

And for revenues to fully cover expenses, a price of approximately 97 dollars per barrel would be necessary,…

Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the United States, are expected to take place this week, despite uncertainty about their location and schedule, against the backdrop of Washington’s escalating military campaign in the Middle East. The next round of trilateral talks, initially scheduled for March 5-6 in Abu Dhabi, seems unlikely to take place in the United Arab Emirates, reports Bloomberg, citing sources.
