Dr. Andreas Krieg | Gulf Security Expert | Institute of Middle Eastern Studies:
The UAE is doubling down on Israel. Israel has provided 3 Iron Dome batteries stationed in Abu Dhabi - manned by IDF soldiers. That precedent means more, not less, of this going forward.
We are seeing a UAE-Israel alliance take shape - sitting alongside the Saudi-Türkiye-Qatar-Pakistan axis. Deeper integration, including sharing UAE proxy networks & secessionist capabilities with Israel.
The Arab & Muslim world will push back. But the real damage is within the Gulf - making a common Gulf position harder to achieve. That's exactly what Israel wants.
Israel has a long history of dividing the Arab world to make it more malleable.
The Gulf had appeared as a fairly united front in Washington - that threatened the Israel lobby.
Dividing the Gulf is very beneficial for Israel, & the UAE is playing that role driven by short-term interest.
The Saudis see the danger. They are now saying enough is enough.

Nobitex, Iran’s largest crypto platform, was founded in 2018 by two brothers from the powerful Kharrazi family, closely tied to Iran’s ruling elite.
Using an alternative surname, they built Nobitex into a dominant exchange handling ~70% of Iran’s crypto transactions and serving ~11 million users.Читать полностью…

Total processed crypto: ~$11 billion

Prof. Charles Kupchan | Trans-Atlantic Relations Expert | Council on Foreign Relations:
Many Europeans are in shock - not knowing if Trump is a passing detour or the new normal.
This is an inflection point. Some Europeans & Americans say it's the beginning of the end of the Atlantic relationship.
Others say it's a detour & the two sides will come together again when Trump leaves.
We don't know. But this is the most fragile, uncertain moment in the Atlantic relationship since the pre-WW2 era.

Prof. Michael Lynk | Former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Territories
Israel is practicing apartheid. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, even Israeli organizations like B'Tselem all agree.
Israeli settlers live in occupied territory in cities, financed by Israel while Palestinians are forbidden from entering without special permits for labor work.
Israeli settlers have voting rights & economic incentives, tried in civilian courts. They live close to an European standard of living.
Palestinians have none of those political & legal rights, no voting power, facing daily attacks from the Israeli army & settlers. The contrast couldn't be more stark.
Netanyahu:
I had an excellent conversation with President Trump. He is pressuring Iran very hard—economically and militarily.
We have started a process to achieve a historic peace between Israel and Lebanon. It is clear to us that Hezbollah is trying to sabotage it.
White House:
Iran must turn over the enriched uranium that’s in their possession.
NATO's Rutte in Türkiye:
Türkiye has gone through a defense industrial revolution. I could really say there’s been a revolution in recent years.
ASELSAN is at the forefront of this. So please keep it up — produce and innovate even more and faster.
Péter Magyar says he would arrest Netanyahu if he comes to Hungary:
I made it clear that Hungary intends to remain a member of the International Criminal Court.
If someone enters the territory of a country that is a member of the ICC and that person is under an arrest warrant, then they must be taken into custody.
NEW: The United Arab Emirates is in early talks with the U.S. about securing emergency dollar access if the Iran conflict worsens.
Officials discussed a possible currency swap line with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, though no formal request has been made.

China’s Ministry of Commerce told Chinese companies: Do NOT comply with U.S. sanctions on certain Chinese oil refiners.
The U.S. had sanctioned these firms for buying oil from Iran.Читать полностью…
China says the sanctions are illegal “extraterritorial” overreach.
China is protecting its oil trade with Iran and pushing back against U.S. pressure.
Trump:
Melania hates when I dance to what is sometimes referred to as the “gay national anthem.”
Türkiye's ASELSAN showcases the full pipeline of its LGK (Laser Guidance Kit).
From automated mass production → precision assembly → large-scale stockpiling → live-fire testing.
The system upgrades unguided bombs into laser-guided precision munitions.
NEW: Hezbollah drone hit an Israeli military vehicle near Shomera (northern Israel) today.
Vehicle caught fire, with secondary explosions (likely ammo).

Both sides exchanged 5 prisoners each at the border.Читать полностью…
Belarus released 3 Poles (including journalist Andrzej Poczobut) and 2 Moldovans.
Poland returned 5 Belarusians, reportedly linked to intelligence activities.
The deal was partly facilitated with US involvement.
Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State under Joe Biden, Wendy Sherman:
I believe that Netanyahu has led us down a road, and we have been part of it.
That has, in essence, created a genocide in Gaza, that has destabilized the Middle East.
Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett:
After 30 years of Netanyahu, it’s time to part ways with him and take the country to a new page, a new chapter—and that’s what we will do.
BREAKING: Netanyahu has ordered the IDF to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon forcefully.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
It’s important to remember that Article 2 of the association agreement between the European Union and Israel is about respecting international law and humanitarian law.Читать полностью…
And clearly, neither in Lebanon, nor in the West Bank, nor in Gaza, is Israel respecting it.
And this must lead us to reflection and also to action.
The Pentagon suddenly reduced the official casualty count by 15 wounded troops with no explanation.
Total casualties went from 428 → 413 (or 411 depending on report), raising suspicion.Читать полностью…

Some cases (like shipboard injuries or illness deaths) aren’t being included at all.
At least one reported death (Maj. Sorffly Davius) is missing from official tallies.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue.Читать полностью…
Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward U.S. gov conduct remains, while unconstructive & contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message; they seek Iran's surrender. Iranians do not submit to force.
The Strokes closed their Weekend 2 set at Coachella with a video condemning U.S. foreign policy and Israeli bombings in Gaza, including footage of bombings in Iran.
Frontman Julian Casablancas emphasized the message with the refrain “What side you standing on?”
