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…

The world is on the brink of a nuclear conflict, and the USA seems to be navigating without a compass. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff at the State Department, raises a chilling alarm: economic interests in Iranian oil could trigger an unprecedented humanitarian and economic disaster. Donald Trump promised the Americans an easy victory and Iran’s oil, but the reality on the ground is radically different. While the White House dreams of controlling oil reserves, numerous military experts warn that a race against time has begun with an enemy who has nothing more to lose and there is talk…
