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…

In Siberia, military exercises of the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) took place, involving mobile “Yars” systems, capable of transporting intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. According to “Interfax”, quoting the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, during the exercises, RVSN subunits practiced combat patrolling in new areas, including under “simulated radioactive contamination” conditions, as well as the defense of strategic complexes against saboteurs and “modern means of aerial attack”. One of the priorities of the exercises was to practice the actions of protection and defense of the mobile ground missile complex (PGRK) “Yars” columns in march and in field…

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…

Chechen military units loyal to leader Ramzan Kadyrov are reportedly prepared to intervene in Iran to support the armed forces of Tehran, in the event of a possible American ground invasion, according to information cited by kyivpost.com. The Iranian television station Press TV reported that these forces would have declared their readiness to enter into conflict if Washington decides to escalate military operations beyond air strikes. According to the source, the conflict is described as a “religious war”, and any potential intervention would be considered “jihad”. The information has not been independently confirmed and there is, at this moment, no…

The threat of Iran’s unlimited control over the Strait of Hormuz is prompting Gulf countries to reconsider expensive plans to build pipelines that bypass this strategic point, in order to continue their oil and gas exports, reports the Financial Times. Officials and industry representatives assert that the new pipelines could be the only solution to reduce the persistent vulnerability of Gulf countries to disruptions in the strait, even though such projects would be costly, politically complex, and would require years to be completed. The current conflict has highlighted the strategic value of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, stretching 1,200 km long.…

The authorities have begun to withdraw from public libraries the books that were added to the collections before the actual implementation of state censorship. In Ekaterinburg, it is anticipated that about 30% of the books purchased in the 1990s will be withdrawn from library shelves, said Irina Cheremisina, the director of the city’s municipal library association. “We are now facing changes in the legislation. Some of the books must be withdrawn from the fund, as they were purchased with money from Soros,” said Cheremisina, speaking at the municipal Duma. According to this, libraries in other regions are also preparing to…

Ukrainian soldiers have demonstrated, in numerous situations, a “tactical imagination” superior to Western instructors, according to a British officer involved in training programs, who particularly noted the efficiency of ambush tactics used on the front line. The statements come in the context where the UK is coordinating the training of Ukrainian soldiers for the war with Russia, in a broad multinational program meant to transfer Western standards and procedures. Paradoxically, however, the Ukrainians’ direct combat experience has, in turn, become a valuable source of lessons for instructors. “They have a much larger tactical imagination than us”, declared Major Maguire, a…

A new front in the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States is unfolding beyond the conventional battlefield – in the virtual space, where cyber attacks are becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, writes the Financial Times. At the beginning of this month, while air raid sirens were blaring in Israel, thousands of citizens received SMS messages that seemed to come from military authorities. These messages urged them to download a fake app with information about shelters, but which, in reality, could extract large volumes of personal data. Other messages had an explicitly intimidating tone, suggesting the imminence of attacks…
