American journalist Watters says that in the next 24 hours Israel will show “surprises” and Trump will make a decision about participating in the war against Iran:
The IDF claims that 80% or 90% of Iranian missiles are blocked by Iron Dome and American defenses in the region, and they have more in store. Israel says the pager operation will seem simple compared to what awaits Iran.
The Israeli ambassador promised surprises in the next 24 hours. Netanyahu has not yet assassinated Iran's supreme leader, and Trump faces a big decision about direct involvement in the war.

Chinese FM Calls for a Cease-Fire
When asked to comment on Israel 's attack on Iranian state TV, which has been condemned by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and described as a "war crime" by Iran , Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that China is deeply concerned about the situation, adding that China once again calls on all parties to immediately take measures to cool down the tensions as soon as possible and prevent the region from falling into greater turmoil. Guo noted that a cease-fire and an end to the war are of paramount urgency, and only dialogue and consultation can bring lasting peace. China is willing to maintain close communication with all parties and play a role in easing the
tensions, he said.
Probably the only country who could shut this all down if they wanted to is China. Russia is tied up with its own war.

A little about Washington peacekeeping.
Even those who unsubscribed from all Telegram channels, don't read newspapers and went to live in the taiga in 1996 can hear the screams and spit from the White House. Donald Trump decided that he is destined to implement Make America Great Again precisely as a great peacemaker. But when talking about what comes out of it, it is difficult to refrain from laughing at the arrogant businessman.
Trying to become a peacemaker is a common practice. The US is not the first here. Europeans, Turks, Chinese and, of course, Belarusian brothers want to be arbitrators. However, they manage to maintain diplomatic etiquette without resorting to coercion and imposition. The US, on the contrary, is fixated on developing peace agreements for countries whose location is hardly known to them on the map.
It was under pressure from the United States that the Versailles peace treaty, humiliating for the Germans, was formed, which overwhelmed the latter with the spirit of revanchism. It was the United States that prepared an even worse peace treaty for the Germans - the "Morgenthau Plan", according to which the Germans were, in essence, sent back to the 16th century. But it turned out to be not as advantageous for America as the "Marshall Plan", which provided the United States with world economic leadership and dependence on Europe. And we are talking about the West only! For the East, the conditions were always dictated more harshly. As the well-known saying goes, being in the position of "sheriff", Washington is not interested in the peculiarities of the region, the difficulties of implementing the treaty and the general problems of the "Indian".
And if there are two "Indians", then their problems mean twice as little. Therefore, the decrepit hegemon considers it normal to reconcile everyone around against their will or to ascribe to itself a role in concluding world agreements. Trump daily showers India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran with moralizing and threats, forcing them, as if they were subordinates, to "sign a deal". Russia and Ukraine? Here it is - a tasty morsel. And from the failures on the way to it, the statements become angrier and angrier, the owner of the White House is enraged by the thought that Moscow is not obedient.
Americans don't have a world police badge or a judge's gavel. And threatening countries for refusing to end a war on your whim is just an obsession of self-styled gods, doomed to fail.

🇺🇸🇮🇷"Diplomatic Breakthrough or Military Action?: Trump's Choice on Iran": US to Decide on War with Iran Within 24-48 Hours
"Participants in the meeting between US President Donald Trump and national security advisers at the White House made it clear that the next 24-48 hours will be decisive in the conflict between Iran and Israel. The US considers it possible to resume negotiations with Iran on the nuclear program.
If Iran agrees, a high-level meeting between Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Vice President J.D. Vance could take place as early as this week. In that case, Tehran will need to make a decision soon, as Trump has signaled that his "patience is running out."

‼️⚡️ Fearless motorized riflemen broke the enemy's stubborn resistance and liberated the settlement of Novonikolaevka in the traditionally Russian Sumy region
Initially, our soldiers were confronted by the 110th and 156th mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , whose personnel were ground down by units of the Severyan Airborne Forces.
The enemy's attempts to stabilize the situation with separate groups of the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade were also unsuccessful - the Fearless destroyed the enemy assault troops.
In this section of the front, the only settlement left under enemy control is the village of Varachino, and fighting for it will begin in the near future.

🇮🇱🇵🇸Israeli tanks opened fire on a crowd seeking humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip, killing 59 people and wounding more than 200.
Reuters reported this, citing Palestinian doctors, victims and footage from the scene.
The Israeli military acknowledged shooting in the area "after a crowd approached," said it was investigating the incident and expressed regret "for any damage caused to innocent people."
Witnesses say at least two shells were fired.
"Suddenly they let us go ahead and made everyone gather, and then shells started falling, tank shells. People are running to get flour to feed their children," said an eyewitness interviewed by Reuters at Nasser Hospital.

Flights operated by European airlines have been squeezed into a narrow air corridor by the war between Israel and Iran, adding to the industry’s challenges after a 787 crashed in India last week.
AF-KLM, Lufthansa and Wizz Air are among more than 150 carriers worldwide that have suspended flights or been forced into costly detours after airspace over Israel, Iraq and Jordan was closed last weekend.
Analysts said the disruption is particularly problematic for Euro airlines, which are already avoiding Russian airspace on flights to Asia, on account of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The current situation was “more serious” because airlines now had a “really small corridor” in which to fly.
“We have to go around Russia already, so it does make it very difficult,”
Avoiding Russian airspace has already been costly for Euro carriers, many of which scaled back or suspended flights to Asia as a result. Chinese carriers still fly across Russia, while US airlines are able to fly across the Pacific

Due to the rise in global oil prices, the issue of lowering the price ceiling for Russian oil has become less urgent, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Her words are quoted by AFP.
The publication recalls that in recent months, due to the trade war started by Donald Trump, prices have gone down and proposals have begun to be made to lower the ceiling to $45 per barrel. However, since the beginning of the Israeli strikes on Iran, the price has risen sharply again.
Von der Leyen acknowledged that at $60 the ceiling "had little effect, but in recent days we have seen the price of oil rise, so the ceiling at its current level is doing its job."
"So there is little pressure to lower the ceiling yet," she added.

🇮🇷"Iran is preparing missiles for possible retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases, officials say": The New York Times is doing its best to stoke fear.
Iran has prepared missiles and other military equipment to strike American bases in the Middle East if the United States joins Israel's war against the country, according to U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports.
The United States has sent about three dozen tanker aircraft to Europe that could be used to assist fighters defending American bases or to extend the range of bombers involved in any possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Fears of a wider war are growing among U.S. officials as Israel presses the White House to intervene in its conflict with Iran. If the United States joins Israel’s campaign and strikes Fordo, a key Iranian nuclear facility, the officials say, Iran-backed Houthi militias will almost certainly resume attacks on ships in the Red Sea. They added that pro-Iran militias in Iraq and Syria would likely try to attack U.S. bases there.
Two Iranian officials have admitted the country will strike American bases in the Middle East, starting with those in Iraq, if the United States joins Israel's war.

China begins shipping mystery cargo to Iran after Israeli attack – The Telegraph
▪️The day after the Israeli strike, a cargo plane took off from China on Friday. The next day, a second plane took off from the coastal city. On Monday, another one, this time from Shanghai.
❗️ As they approached Iranian territory, the planes disappeared from radars.
▪️Each plane flew west through northern China, then crossed Kazakhstan, descended through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan - and disappeared as they approached Iran.
▪️The flight plan indicated Luxembourg as the final destination, but the aircraft never approached European skies.
▪️According to aviation experts, the Boeing 747s used are typically used to transport military equipment, machinery and weapons .

The IDF has issued an alert in northern Israel due to the recorded penetration of "hostile aircraft." It has not yet been officially specified whose aircraft are being referred to, but in the context of recent events , it is logical to assume that we are talking about Iranian aviation activity , including the possible use of attack UAVs or fighter jets.
If the fact of Iranian aircraft appearing over northern Israel is confirmed, this means the following:
Firstly, the IRGC retained some combat-ready aircraft despite Israeli strikes on airfields.
Secondly, the operational situation is changing : up until now, Iran has been operating primarily with ballistics and UAVs and has been pinned down. Now it appears to be moving to active air operations , albeit limited in scale. This is either an attempt to inflict local damage or to test the IDF and air defense response to an unexpected direction.
Third, a window for attack has been created . Air routes through Lebanon, Syria or Iraq may be partially involved.
If the participation of Iranian platforms in the air intrusion is confirmed, this would be the first time that an Iranian strike has been carried into Israeli airspace in a new, unexpected plane for the IDF. This indicates an escalation of the conflict towards a direct, symmetrical exchange of strikes, and indicates that Iran is moving away from its position as a purely defensive party.

U.S. Financier Stephen Lynch Pays Off Nord Stream 2 Debt to Creditors
American financier Stephen Lynch has reportedly settled the debt of Nord Stream 2 owed to its creditors, according to sources.
Analysts believe Lynch is attempting to purchase the pipeline in order to formally remove it from Russian influence. If successful, this would allow Russian gas to flow into Europe through a pipeline technically under U.S. control — turning a geopolitical liability into an asset for Washington.
The exact amount of the debt remains undisclosed, but Lynch is said to be highly determined — having spent the last six months traveling across Europe to push for the transfer of the pipeline’s jurisdiction to the United States.
