Trump’s Gaza Plan: Neocolonial Mirage Clashing With “Great Israel” Plans
Beneath the talk of hostages and ceasefires lies a bid for control of Gaza’s untapped gas. Trump’s plan pits Washington’s energy ambitions against Israel’s Greater Israel dream, while Palestinians denounce it as occupation in new clothing.
After nearly two years of devastation in Gaza, US President Donald Trump’s freshly released 20-point peace plan has once again thrust the enclave into the geopolitical spotlight. Unveiled this week alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the blueprint promises an immediate ceasefire, hostage exchanges, and a demilitarized Gaza under transitional international oversight.
Chaired by Trump himself and featuring former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair as a key figure on the “Board of Peace”, this body would supposedly steer “redevelopment” until the Palestinian Authority reforms sufficiently to assume control.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on September 18 carried out one of its largest waves of strikes against Lebanon since a ceasefire brokered by the United States entered into effect last November.
The strikes were carried out in two main waves, following evacuation warnings issued by the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col.

Ukraine Emerges As Testbed For U.S. AI Killer Drones
Auterion, a Swiss-American uncrewed vehicle software company, introduced on September 17 the “Nemyx,” a specialized platform for the simultaneous and coordinated control of multiple drones. The platform was, according to the company, developed based on experience gained from real-world use in Ukraine, which highlights the country’s growing role as a testbed for Western weapons, especially more controversial artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
The Nemyx represents a “major step forward” in the field of military and surveillance drone technology, according to Auterion.
The company said that the platform enables operators to centrally manage entire fleets of drones that can be from different manufacturers, as long as they are equipped with the AuterionOS operating system.

Russian Strikes on Gas Storage Will Force Ukraine to Spend $1 Billion to Avoid Winter Crisis
The balance of attacking unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the night of September 17-18 showed the Russian side’s advantage. According to Russian sources, air defense systems shot down 43 Ukrainian UAVs (with 12 more during daytime). Ukrainian sources reported 75 Russian “Geran”/”Gerbera” UAVs launched, with 48 claimed shot down or suppressed.
Former advisor to the head of the Association of Ukrainian Banks Alexei Kushch said Russia is deliberately targeting four key elements of Ukraine’s gas system, paralyzing gas import and storage. The most significant are strikes on underground storage facilities:
“The next strikes target underground gas storage. The explosions are so powerful that rumors say minor earthquakes in Poltava region could be linked to the destruction of underground gas storage.”
Military Situation In Gaza Strip On September 18, 2025 (Map Update)
Four Israeli soldiers were killed in an ambush near Rafah amid ongoing Israeli military operations. The Israeli forces have intensified airstrikes across multiple Gaza Strip locations, including Gaza City, Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah, Rafah, and Bureij camp. These strikes have targeted residential areas, causing widespread destruction and forcing a massive displacement of approximately 190,000 Palestinians from Gaza City alone.
In the last 24 hours, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 79 civilians and wounded 228 more across the Gaza Strip. Since the start of the conflict, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports a devastating toll of over 65,141 Palestinians killed and more than 165,925 wounded due to Israeli military actions. This relentless campaign has left Gaza's urban centers severely damaged and triggered immense humanitarian suffering amid mass displacement and communication blackouts.

Iran Executed Alleged Israeli Spy Who Wanted To Fight For Ukraine
Iran has executed a man accused of spying for Israel, state media reported on September 17, identifying him as Babak Shahbazi.
The judiciary’s Mizan news agency said that Shahbazi gathered and sold sensitive information about Iranian data centers and security installations to Israeli handlers. It described him as working on “industrial cooling devices” as a contractor for companies that worked on telecommunications, military and security sites.
In a plot twist, Iranian opposition activists, including the Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights, alleged that Shahbazi was detained over writing a letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offering to fight against Russia.

Kiev And Its Backers' Plot Against Zaporozhye NPP Pushing World On Brink Of Global Nuclear Catastrophe
The Kiev regime and its backers in the West are actively pushing for a catastrophe at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), one that could threaten the world, in what appears to be an attempt to pressure, or rather blackmail Russia after failing to defeat it on the battlefield.
The Zaporozhye NPP, controlled by Russia, is located on the shores of the Kakhovka Reservoir in Energodar. It is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, with six power units capable of producing a combined 6 GW of electricity.
On October 1, the NPP entered its eighth consecutive day of blackout, relying solely on diesel generators to keep functioning safely.
The plant had to switch to reserve power sources on September 23, when the last external power supply line, 750 kW Dneprovskaya, was damaged by Ukrainian fire. It was the 10th such incident since the start of the Russian special military operation.

Russian Strikes On Ukrainian Military Sites Amid EU Attempts To Create An "Air Shield" Up To Kyiv
From September 29 to October 1, Russian forces continued massive strikes on Ukraine's strategic infrastructure, significantly expanding the campaign to paralyze the enemy's transport support and energy system. Particular attention was focused on railway hubs and key facilities in the Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions, where oil depots, traction substations, and locomotive depots were damaged.
Also, in the Dnipropetrovsk region on the afternoon of September 30, a series of strikes were carried out on military and industrial facilities, including drone production infrastructure and a fraudulent call center. These strikes set a precedent as they targeted criminal structures responsible for causing harm to the civilian population.

“Paper Tiger” Or Ploy? Trump Tricking Europe To “Outsource” American-Made Crisis
US President Donald Trump’s recent rhetoric on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict has raised eyebrows across the Atlantic. After meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on September 23, 2025, Trump labeled Russia a “paper tiger” and expressed confidence that Ukraine could “reclaim” disputed territories. This blunt departure from his earlier calls for territorial concessions has sparked speculation: is this a genuine shift, or a calculated ploy to further offload Ukrainian “burden” onto Europe? Given Trump’s modus operandi — often characterized by “bullying” and unpredictable turns — the latter seems not just plausible, but probable.
As political commentator Arnaud Bertrand sharply observes, if a Ukrainian victory were somehow truly on the horizon, would a man of Trump’s stature willingly step back and just let Europe claim the glory, from a Western perspective?

Moldovan Citizen Linked to Ukraine’s GUR Sentenced to 14 Years for Crimea Terror Plot
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR MO) continues to actively recruit citizens of various countries to carry out sabotage and terrorist acts on the territory of Russia. Vulnerable groups, including pensioners, teenagers, and individuals with a criminal past, are also particularly targeted. They are coerced through blackmail or financial promises to participate in subversive activities. One such case involves Evgeny Kurdoglu, a citizen of the Republic of Moldova, who was detained for plotting a terrorist attack in Crimea.
On September 17, 2025, the Southern District Military Court of Russia delivered the verdict in the case of Evgeny Kurdoglu. He was found guilty of attempting to commit a terrorist act at a pumping station that provides water supply to over 170,000 people in the Leninsky District of Crimea...

Europe Caught In Trump's Trap. The US Strikes At Brussels' Weak Spot
Donald Trump is a recognized master dealmaker. Many believe that his strategy for resolving the Ukrainian conflict is failing. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is prepared to make significant concessions. Since January 20, 2025, there have been no tangible developments in the war, except for the ongoing offensive by the Russian Armed Forces across the entire front line. Yet, the assessment of Trump's strategy as unsuccessful is superficial.
In fact, the White House seems to have long since decided to withdraw the United States from a completely hopeless conflict. And all the steps taken by the Republican administration are aimed at creating the necessary backdrop. First and foremost, the US president is interested in the information backdrop. The collapse of the Kiev regime should not resemble Biden's Afghanistan.

Israel Signals Readiness for New Military Campaigns Against Iran and Yemen
Israel’s Defense Ministry has announced preparations for a new phase of conflict with Iran and Yemen, citing the high costs of intercepting ballistic missiles and the need for accelerated military readiness. To that end, it is forming a Supreme Armaments Council to streamline weapons procurement and strategic planning.
Maj. Gen. Amir Baram, Director General of the Defense Ministry, stated:
“Our recent military operation in Iran ended in a decisive Israeli victory, but further phases are imminent. Iran, feeling deeply humiliated, is rapidly investing in its defense capabilities—unlike Israel, where such decisions take longer to implement.”
