Читать полностью…
❕US President Donald Trump has delivered a press conference after today’s NATO Summit in The Hague. Key takeaways from his remarks:
▪️Trump has asserted that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is interested in ending the conflict in Ukraine
▪️Trump expects to discuss ways to end the conflict with Putin in the near future
▪️Trump declared that he did not discuss ceasefire in Ukraine with Vladimir Zelensky, thus refuting the latter’s remarks
▪️The United States will study the possibility of supplying Kiev with additional air defense systems, specifically Patriots, but Washington needs them itself
▪️Trump did not directly answer a question as to whether the US will continue to provide military aid to Ukraine
▪️The United States believes that Iran’s nuclear materials are now buried under tens of meters of rock, concrete and steel after the US strikes
NATO's communique shorter, softer on Russia — The Telegraph
'NATO is united in facing security threats and challenges posed by Russia to Euro-Atlantic security'
This contrasts with last year's statement, which directly blamed Russia and affirmed 'Ukraine's future is in NATO'
—❗️🇷🇺/🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:
'I completely understand if Iran wants to suspend all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Grossi is now insisting that Iran grant the agency immediate access to its nuclear facilities to verify the whereabouts of enriched materials and assess the situation on the ground.
But where are the assurances that this information won’t be leaked? I see no such safeguards. There is no confidentiality at all.'

Someone just tell him to stop
French🇫🇷 President Emmanuel Macron casually admits that Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran’s🇮🇷 nuclear facilities were illegal under international law
This is the essence of the ‘rules-based order’; rules for thee, but not for me.
International law is only supposed to contain the global south, while letting neocolonial Europe and Washington run rampant doing whatever they like.

🇷🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦 Dmitry Medvedev stated that the current European Union poses a direct threat to Russia’s national interests.
He emphasized that Ukraine’s accession to the EU also represents a serious danger, given that the EU has now openly positioned itself as Russia’s adversary.
On Changing Approaches — Or Why Ukraine Must Not Join the EU
15–20 years ago, no one in Russia really objected to Kiev’s ambitions to join the European Union. If they wanted it—fine, go ahead. Just don’t regret it later when you lose access to the Eurasian market. Back then, EU membership seemed harmless. Ukraine had almost no chance of getting in. Our firm position was to block NATO membership—its expansion to our borders was, and remains, a direct threat to Russia’s national security.
But the former European Union—born out of the Coal and Steel Community—is gone.
In its place stands a politicized, globalist, and now openly Russophobic entity. An organization dreaming of revenge against Russia. Clueless European politicians worked hard to destroy the image of the EU as an economic giant seeking peace between nations. At one point, EU-Russia trade reached nearly €500 billion.
Now the EU’s main ideology is rabid Russophobia, driven by an imaginary “Russian threat” they themselves invented for their petty goals. Step by step, the EU is turning into an autonomous military bloc, preparing to compete with NATO—especially during the Trump era. Brussels insects and short-sighted EU leaders are pushing their own defense strategy and declaring a “rearmament era.”
This warped transformation has a goal: to arm the neo-Nazi Kiev regime to the point it becomes untouchable for Russia. It’s the EU that signed long-term “security” agreements with the illegitimate boss of dying Ukraine. It’s the EU supplying weapons and military equipment to the Banderite freaks, expanding its defense industry, building arms plants on their territory. It’s the EU sending instructors to train Ukrainian militants—to kill our citizens and carry out terrorist attacks inside Russia. And the same EU is shamelessly financing these vile actions using profits from frozen Russian assets.
Brussels is now a real enemy of Russia.
In its current form, the EU is no less dangerous than NATO.
That old phrase—“Join whatever you like, just not NATO”—must be revised. The EU, full of weapons, rainbow fanatics, and loudmouthed Brussels harpies, is a direct threat to Russia. That’s how it must be regarded—until its attitude toward us changes. That doesn’t mean Russia should reject bilateral cooperation with individual European countries.
In short, so-called Ukraine in the EU is a danger to our country. This danger can be neutralized in two ways:
a) the EU itself realizes that the Kiev quasi-state is unnecessary;
b) or—preferably—there’s simply no one left to join.
🇮🇷🇮🇱| A few brief points about the alleged “ceasefire”:
1. The ceasefire, was requested by the Israeli regime & the US, which is a clear sign of their weakness on the battlefield and their inability to continue the current trajectory of the war with Iran.
2. Iran reportedly accepted the cessation of fire on condition that it will deliver one final widespread blow to the Israeli regime — a condition the Israeli regime accepted.
3. Iran’s strikes on “Israel” this morning were extremely intense and inflicted heavy casualties but due to military censorship, you’ve only heard about the Beershaba impact because it’s in a civilian area.
4. There is no peace between Iran and the Zionist regime. The ceasefire has was accepted by Iran merely to address some deficiencies and shortfalls. Iran remains fully prepared to punish the Zionist regime.
5. According to a consensus among political and military experts, the current ceasefire is very fragile, and Iran will respond immediately to any action by the regime.

US President Donald Trump stated that he would like to “see a deal” with Russia.
Speaking to reporters aboard a plane en route to the Netherlands for the upcoming NATO Summit, Trump was asked to comment on the Russia-related language expected in a communique to be issued after the alliance leaders’ meeting.
“I’ll have to take a look at it. But, you know, I’d like to see a deal with Russia. As you know, Vladimir called me up. He said, ‘Can I help you with Iran? ’ I said, ‘No, I don’t need help with Iran. I need help with you.’ And I hope we’re going to be getting a deal done with Russia,” Trump responded.Читать полностью…

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠ A "tense and difficult" summer awaits Ukraine on the battlefield — Defense One
According to NATO, Russia will continue its slow offensive in the Sumy and Zaporizhzhia regions. No breakthroughs are expected on the front due to a lack of reserves.
Russia's arms production remains powerful: ~130 tanks/month, ~3m shells/year (US plans 1m/year by 2026).
Russia is capable of financing the war until 2027. Diplomatic prospects are weak as NATO doubts Russia's readiness for negotiations.
A NATO representative has refuted claims of Russia's plans to invade the Alliance, noting that Putin is taking Article 5 seriously.
Uncertainty over Ukraine's support remains: the future of US aid after the exhaustion of Biden's packages is unclear.

IAEA failed to protect Iran’s nuclear sites from US and Israeli attacks
🗣Iran suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) comes as Tehran realizes that there is simply no benefit on continuing it, Foad Izadi, associate professor at the University of Tehran, tells Sputnik.
While attacking nuclear sites, especially those under the IAEA supervision, is illegal under international law, that did not deter Israel and the US from attacking the Iranian nuclear facilities, Izadi points out.
❓Hence the question: why work with the IAEA at all?
“IAEA has a budget of $35 million, and $22 million out of that $35 million is spent inspecting Iran. So, by suspending the link, Iran is actually saving IAEA money,” Izadi remarks.
📍He also observes that the IAEA does not inspect Israel because it is not a member and is not a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), hence raising the question whether Iran should withdraw from the NPT too.

"Iran does not seek to possess nuclear weapons, but it will not back down from its 'legitimate rights,' Iranian President Pezeshkian said".
Iran is celebrating its victory over Israel.
"Pezeshkian addressed the nation on the occasion of the end of the '12-day war' against Iran. The President of the Republic described it as a 'victory for the Iranian people.' A victory celebration was held in Tehran's Revolution Square.
Iran's National Security Council stated that the country had 'forced the enemy to admit defeat and unilaterally cease its aggression.'" The authorities called on citizens to take to the streets and celebrate their victory over Israel.

The Western World and its outpost in the Middle East, Israel, have capitulated.
Europe, and the United States simply do not have the strength to fight the growing economies of the so-called Third World. Instead of a formal decolonization of the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and American world order, we are witnessing the collapse of the foundations of the international community.
Israel has failed to achieve its stated goals, and the United States has been unable to stage a color revolution in Iran, leaving it dependent on Iranian oil production.
The ruling coalition in Israel is expected to collapse. The resignation of the far-right government, which was unable to carry out a full-scale genocide of Palestine in a year and a half. The backlash will be very strong. Shameful agreements will be signed. Hamas will effectively become the state police of Palestine. The same Hamas that according to Western media has killed Jewish children and old women, raped women, and publicly executed unarmed prisoners. Then, the abandonment of the territories of Jewish settlers. The strongest internal crisis, the inability to protect the Jews, will lead to the collapse of Israel's last foundation, the base on which it was built.
The West is unable to do anything, as they are completely mired in their own internal conflicts, caused by the misguided beliefs of postmodern idealism.

US President Donald Trump published a personal message from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who said that Europe will “pay in a big way.”
“It was not easy but we’ve got them all signed onto 5% of their GDP on defense. Europe is going to pay in a big way, as they should, and it will be your win,” the NATO chief wrote to the US leader.
Iran will not allow tensions with Israel and the United States to damage its relations with neighboring countries, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
“Araghchi condemned the crimes committed by the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran and emphasized that, through continued engagement with all countries in the region, Tehran will not permit its relations with neighboring states to deteriorate as a result of these provocations,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement following the top diplomat's phone talk with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.Читать полностью…
