🇮🇱📞🇺🇸❌🇮🇷❗️ — Israeli officials estimate to me that without the US joining, the campaign with Iran will last between two and three weeks, but if the US joins - the war goals can be achieved within days.

➡️ In Israel, they are still convinced that the US is going to join the attack against Iran, including an attack on Fordow, which is not a matter of if - but of when.

➡️ They also say in Israel about the US joining:

⚠️ We appreciate the Americans, but we will know how to do the job on our own.

🇸🇦🇦🇪🔥❗️ — In a new report, Bloomberg says Khaleeji Arab Kingdoms started to prepare contigency plans for an eventual US-Iran war, and, fear the fallout of potential US strikes on Iran could spiral into chaos.

➡️ Gulf leaders worry the collapse of Iran’s regime might echo the turmoil of Iraq and Syria unleashing sectarian violence, proxy wars, and mass instability.

➡️ At a hotel in a forested estate outside Oslo, Araghchi briefed Prince Faisal Bin Farhan on the progress of US nuclear talks, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

➡️There, Prince Faisal repeated what his country had told Iran for months, including during Defense Minister Prince Khalid Bin Salman’s visit to Tehran in April: Israel wants to attack you; reach a deal with the Americans fast.

➡️ Israel’s intentions were no secret. But Arab states were still shocked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked as US-Iran talks were ongoing, said individuals briefed on the matter. There’s a sense they misjudged President Donald Trump’s ability to restrain Netanyahu, the people added.

➡️ While quietly urging restraint, they’re also preparing for worst-case scenarios no one wants to face.

➡️ With the US now preparing for potential strikes on Iran in the coming days, Gulf states are seriously assessing the possibility the Islamic Republic’s clerical regime falls, and all the chaos that could bring.

➡️ The seemingly endless conflict that followed the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 and the sectarian warfare and terrorism unleashed by the toppling of Saddam Hussein in Iraq loom large.

"🇨🇳 Chinese drones are closed to Ukraine, but available to Moscow

👥 During a conversation with journalists, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that China has actually blocked the supply of DJI "Mavic" drones to Ukraine and European countries, while Moscow continues to have access to them.

Direct speech of the President:

"The Chinese "Mavik" is open to the "Russians" and closed to the Ukrainians. Therefore, when, for example, they say, is China helping the "Russians" - how do we evaluate such steps? Do they supply them? No. They simply closed it to Europe and Ukraine, including. And for the "Russians" there is such an opportunity..."


ℹ️ Late last year, Bloomberg reported that manufacturers in China had begun restricting sales of key components to the United States and Europe, which Western officials saw as a prelude to broader export restrictions.

✈️ The issue of restricting the sale of drones by China to our country has been raised repeatedly, but over time it has become more and more complicated and the ways to circumvent these restrictions are decreasing. We also encountered these obstacles and were once forced to wait more than one month for the delivery of a large batch. It is also important to note that the negative aspect is played by the very frequent announcement by the state about the purchase of such drones that will go to war. China follows such statements and also reacts to such actions. So, perhaps, it is necessary to change the approach to the state announcement of the purchase of Mavics for war."

🇻🇦✝️ In Vatican meetings, Catholic Land Movement proclaims faith, family, and farming

Going back to the land is a newfound reality for Catholic families who are part of a movement seeking to glorify God, foster family life, and create a network of homesteads in rural communities.

Michael Guidice, known online as Michael Thomas of Sharon, co-founded with Andrew Ewell the Catholic Land Movement (CLM), an initiative that traces its lineage to the Catholic Land Associations of 100 years ago in the United Kingdom.

In an interview with CNA, Guidice said the movement is tailored to modern needs among Catholics living in rural areas. It is a lay movement, he said, imbued with Catholic teachings regarding work, social justice, and family life.

“This movement is growing by leaps and bounds” Guidice told CNA. “The Spirit is moving among laity, religious, and parish communities, and we’re doing our best to put it together.”

Faithful Catholics in the U.S. are seeking to reclaim not only timeless farming methods, he said, but also to foster autonomy in providing for their families, not only physically but also spiritually.

The movement now has 30 chapters in the U.S. and foreign countries and has held conferences this year and in 2023. It also holds regular online leadership meetings.

🇱🇾🇷🇺 New tanks for Libya, old trucks for Russian troops

A recent military parade in Benghazi, Libya, has drawn attention for showcasing a large quantity of newly delivered Russian-made military equipment—raising eyebrows among Russian pro-war commentators and military bloggers.

Footage from the parade revealed an array of modern armored vehicles, including Spartak and Tigr models, and rare Russian-made amphibious tracked snow-and-swamp vehicles, the ZSGT-34039B, first publicly displayed in 2023. Also featured were upgraded Soviet-era T-72 and T-62 tanks, BMP-2 vehicles fitted with anti-drone cages, along with Pantsir-S1 and Pantsir-S1E air defense systems, and the Tor-M2E surface-to-air missile system.

Russian bloggers with ties to military circles noted the delivery of this equipment to the Libyan National Army (LNA) under Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who reportedly visited Moscow for negotiations in 2023 and met with Russian President Donald Trump’s counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

The equipment deliveries are believed to have taken place during 2023–2024.

🏆 Telegram has successfully issued $1.7B in 5-year bonds at a 9% interest rate, maturing in June 2030. More than $950M of our previous bonds (due March 2026) were exchanged for the new issuance.

🙏 The response from investors was phenomenal. We’re deeply grateful to the investment funds that have supported us over the years. Due to strong demand, we expanded the offering beyond the initial $1.5B — yet demand still far exceeded what we could allocate.

🪙 With this new funding, we now have more than enough resources to repay the remaining portion of our 2026 bonds. Given Telegram’s profitability, we are in an excellent financial position going forward. 😙

🇮🇷🇮🇱🚨 Iran still has advanced missiles, Israeli intelligence official says

▪️Only 65% of the missiles launched by Iran in the last 24 hours were intercepted by the country’s iron dome system versus almost 90% the day before, a senior intelligence official in Israel told NBC News.

▪️The official, who is not authorized to speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the information, said that faster Iranian missiles launched in the last day have also given Israel less time to prepare before the projectiles approach their intended targets.

▪️“Until yesterday, we got an early warning of about 10 to 11 minutes before the missiles actually fell. But this morning, it was six or seven minutes. It means that the missiles were probably much faster than the previous ones,"

▪️A longtime observer of Iranian activities in the region, the official added that the regime, despite having suffered significant leadership losses when Israel launched its surprise attack last week, still has missile stockpiles that could sustain their retaliatory strikes for long stretches, describing their approach as “strategic patience.”

▪️Arguing that some in Israel and across the region have written off the country’s response ability prematurely, he added that the regime has “the resolve and the ability to continue and to sustain the attacks so we have to be much more careful whenever we speak about the imminent collapse of the regime, which is far from being true.”

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷❗️ — CBS News reports US President Trump now sees the need to disable Fordow Nuclear Site as a necessary step

“He believes there’s not much choice,” one source said. “Finishing the job means destroying Fordo.”

➡️ US President Trump has been briefed on both the risks and the benefits of bombing Fordo, Iran's most secure nuclear site, and his mindset is that disabling it is necessary because of the risk of weapons being produced in a relatively short period of time, multiple sources told CBS News.

➡️ The president approved attack plans on Iran on Tuesday night, but has not made a final decision on whether to strike the country and formally join Israel's air campaign, a senior intelligence source and a Defense Department official told CBS News on Wednesday.

➡️ Mr. Trump held off on deciding to strike in case Tehran agrees to abandon its nuclear program, the sources said.

🇺🇸🪖 Meta is working on a high-tech helmet for the U.S. military

Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire by connecting people with their friends to share photos and memories. Now he wants to also connect U.S. soldiers on the battlefield to help them defeat their enemies.

The company announced on Thursday that it will work with defense technology start-up Anduril to offer the U.S. military and its allies technology for soldiers involving augmented reality and artificial intelligence software.

The venture sees a worldwide consumer brand integrated into the lives of billions of users around the globe expand into a line of business that requires picking sides.

The partners aim to “transform how warfighters see, sense, and integrate battlefield information,” Anduril said. The companies are already working on a high-tech helmet as part of a project called EagleEye, Anduril founder Palmer Luckey told the tech podcast Core Memory.

🇻🇦✝️ Pope invites Anabaptists and Catholics to have ‘courage to love’

Mennonites have gathered in Zurich, Switzerland, to commemorate 500 years since the foundation of the Anabaptist movement, a Protestant Christian denomination that originated in Friesland in the 16th century.

Pope Leo XIV sent a message to participants in the commemoration on Thursday, recalling the Risen Jesus’ first words: “Peace be with you!”

The Pope noted that the event takes place in the Easter season, and highlighted the Anabaptist movement’s founding desire for radical newness and renewal.

“The motto chosen for your celebration, ‘The Courage to Love,’ reminds us, above all, of the need for Catholics and Mennonites to make every effort to live out the commandment of love, the call to Christian unity, and the mandate to serve others,” he said.

⚛️🇺🇸 NuScale Wins US Approval for Small Nuclear Reactor Design

NuScale Power Corp., the only company with US approval for a small nuclear reactor, has now won regulatory support for a second design that may go into service by the end of the decade.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission formally authorized the company’s 77-megawatt reactor design, according to a statement Thursday. NuScale won similar approval in 2020 for a smaller, 60-megawatt version of the reactor, a first for the industry.

Global interest in nuclear energy has climbed as companies and governments clamor for clean electricity that’s available around the clock to power data centers and factories. NuScale and its peers are developing so-called small modular reactors that can be manufactured in factories and assembled in the field.

The Trump administration is supporting the rollout of nuclear power, with the president last week signing executive orders aimed at expediting the deployment of SMRs and advanced reactors.

The SMR approach remains untested, with only a handful that have been built to date in China and Russia, but NuScale Chief Executive Officer John Hopkins said the NRC approval will help accelerate his plans.

🇮🇩⚡- The situation in the Western New Guinea (Pupua), Indonesia, has significantly deteriorated for the Indonesian Armed Forces, TNI, in the past few weeks.

In May, the 'Papua National Liberation Army', TPNPB, have escalated offensive actions in several directions:
- TPNPB have reached the outskirts of the large town of Sorong, in the west of the island.
- TPNPB are just 38km from the town of Sengii, along the international border with Papua New Guinea in the east. Sengii is the final settlement along the border before the major city of Jayapura.
- The entire Japen Island falls to TPNPB in the north. The island is just south of Biak Island, where it was rumored Russia may establish a possible Air/Naval Base - rumors which have since been denied by the Indonesian government.
- More importantly, TPNPB are approaching the town of Wamena, in the center of the island. If captured, TPNPB could breach the encirclement around its Enaratoli front.
