US and Israel ‘coordinating’ jihadist offensive in Syria – Iran
The jihadist offensive in Syria was launched in coordination with the US and Israel, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. According to the diplomat, it is no coincidence that the terrorists attacked northern Syria right after Israel struck a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.
The official suggested that the US and Israel were using the attack to “weaken Syria” and “create division and sedition among Islamic countries.”

Zelensky says Kiev’s only hope to retake land is diplomacy
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength for a true counteroffensive, calling for diplomatic rather than military solutions. In an interview with Kyodo News, he described the war as entering a "challenging phase" with Russia advancing rapidly in the Donbas area.
However, he ruled out a surrender and renewed calls for Ukraine's NATO membership. Previously, Zelensky insisted on reclaiming 1991 borders, which existed before the Crimean republic voted to join Russia following a coup in Kiev.

Make Britain Great Again? Musk eyeing $100M donation to Reform UK
Elon Musk is reportedly thinking of dropping $100 million into the UK Reform party of Nigel Farage, Brexit leader and ally of Donald Trump, the Sunday Times reports.
The cash infusion, which some insiders say could disrupt the British political scene, is being viewed as Musk's way of giving the finger to the UK Labour government under Keir Starmer, whom the billionaire has recently criticized on issues like free speech and mass migration.
Will Brits allow THAT to sink in?

Italian tax system explicitly favors rich, overburdens middle-income earners – study
Italy's tax system disproportionately benefits the wealthiest 7% of the population, allowing them to pay a smaller share of their income in taxes compared to low- and middle-income earners, a new study shows.
The tax system becomes regressive for those earning over €76,000, while those earning between €29,000 and €75,000 contribute more than 40% of income tax revenue, with their tax burden remaining progressive, according to the study by five economists including former Treasury official Alessandro Santoro.
