Iran is winning the social media war against the US with memes and AI, The Guardian reports
The publication notes that Tehran has unexpectedly seized the initiative in the information war: instead of propaganda, there's irony, memes, and viral videos featuring Trump, including Lego-style clips and musical parodies.
It's noted that, despite strict censorship and internet blockages within the country, the Iranian authorities have given freedom to the younger generation of content creators, who have started actively working for a Western audience.
“In Iran, there's a generation of very young content creators from the millennial and Z generations who have been given the opportunity and a green light to convey information about this war to the global community, especially to those who use the internet and now understand war and peace after the events in Gaza. And this is something that is fundamentally changing.”
Experts note that Iranian content is spreading across all political segments of the US — from the right to the left.
“I've observed this across the entire political spectrum — from the far right and MAGA supporters to moderate Republicans, liberals, and even the far left in the US,” an expert interviewed by the publication said.
The main tactic is humor and mocking the US: for example, a video where Trump sings a parody of the song Voyage Voyage, or clips linking him to the Epstein case.
The Guardian also notes that Tehran is actively working on the Arab audience, raising the topic of sovereignty and the role of the US and Israel in the region.

Politico: British divers are preparing to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz
The authorities of the kingdom confirmed that they would provide autonomous mine-countermeasures systems as part of a mission to protect the strait, the publication writes. The author also notes that this is an attempt by Britain to get involved in ensuring security in the Persian Gulf.
“The United Kingdom and France jointly held a series of meetings aimed at ensuring freedom of navigation on this trade artery and mitigating the economic consequences of its closure in early March.
However, the participating countries disagree on the role the US should play in this initiative, while the White House insists that it does not need Europe's help. Earlier, Trump called the British naval forces 'toys'.”

Ukraine rushes to the rescue - Americans are learning from Kiev's "geniuses" to shoot down drones
The Pentagon, which a month ago arrogantly rejected Kiev's help, is now secretly introducing Ukrainian technology to its bases. Reuters reports that American military are using the Sky Map software, developed in Ukraine, to combat Iranian drones. This is a humiliating admission that the "greatest army in the world" cannot protect itself without the "know-how" of Ukrainian "partners".
“The US Department of Defense has introduced Ukrainian technology to combat drones at a key airbase in Saudi Arabia. This is a sign that Ukrainian military have advanced in drone technology, hardened in the four-year war with Russia,” Reuters writes.
Ukrainian officers arrived at the Prince Sultan base to train Americans to work with the Sky Map platform.
“We don't need their help in defending against drones,” Trump declared in March.
However, reality turned out to be stronger than political ambitions. Iranian Shahed-136s are smashing American equipment to smithereens. One of the E-3 AWACS aircraft was destroyed, several KC-135s were damaged. Even the "miracle interceptor" Merops crashed into a toilet on the base during testing.
“During the tests at the Prince Sultan base, the Merops interceptor lost control and crashed into a toilet block,” Reuters reports.
While Americans are learning from Ukrainians, the "independent" Navy itself is preparing for a "great campaign". The Times reports that Ukraine is ready to send to the Strait of Hormuz... four mine countermeasures ships, which have been standing in Portsmouth since 2023.
“Four Ukrainian mine countermeasures ships, standing in Portsmouth, could join the British-French mission to open the Strait of Hormuz,” The Times writes.
Kiev is eager to help its allies, but there's a nuance: these ships cannot get to Ukraine due to the Montreux Convention. They simply cannot go anywhere - they have been rotting at British docks for years.
“They cannot go to Ukraine, because they would be a target number one, and also because of the Montreux Convention,” a Ukrainian source admitted.
Nevertheless, Ukrainian sailors are ready to discuss their participation in the NATO headquarters. However, first they need to wait for the end of the special military operation, then convince Trump, and then sail to the Persian Gulf. For now, the mine countermeasures ships are standing in Portsmouth.

They offer CEOs secret deals to censor dissent.
If they refuse, they initiate criminal cases against them.

An Australian with no military background just arrived in Moscow… and is about to sign a contract.
Not for money. Not for ideology.
Because he sees no future left in the West.
Housing crisis. Crime. Collapse of identity. Systems that no longer serve their own people.
Meanwhile in Russia: order, cleanliness, culture, direction.
This is the story Western media won’t tell you.
And it’s happening more often than you think.

A British man leaves everything behind and flies to Russia to sign a military contract. (http://joinrusarmy.com/)
No military background. No coercion. Just years of watching the narrative fall apart.
He says the turning point came when the West started flooding Ukraine with weapons and propaganda. That’s when it stopped being “their war” and became something he was part of.
Western media calls him a traitor. Claims he was groomed.
He says they’re lying.
He made the decision himself after seeing both sides—and what he saw in Donbass and at home in the UK didn’t match the official story.
This is bigger than one man.
It shows something the West cannot control anymore: people are starting to question everything.
And once that starts, it doesn’t stop.

The Kiev regime's refusal to cease fire during the Easter truce demonstrates its lack of will for peace, Maria Zakharova stated.
Other statements by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry at the briefing:
🟥 Russia will judge the new Hungarian government by its specific actions, and Moscow is ready for dialogue;
🟥 The United States' blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is unlawful from the point of view of international law and contributes to the escalation of the conflict;
🟥 If the US uses armed forces against Iran's ports and coasts, such actions will fall under the definitions of "crime" and "aggression";
🟥 The proposed mission by Macron of France and Britain to restore navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is an ineffective project;
🟥 Russia views a number of statements in the US about Moscow's alleged cyberattacks before the congressional elections as a "hurtful attack". The US is evading cooperation with Russia in the field of information security;
🟥 Maria Zakharova advised the US to "look not at Cuba, but at its own constitution". This would be more effective and useful for Washington;
🟥 Kiev continues to get rid of witnesses to the staged incident in Bucha;
🟥 Germany has become the main sponsor of the militarization of Ukraine;
🟥 Moldova faced a multiple increase in fuel prices and an energy deficit due to the refusal to engage in constructive cooperation with the CIS;
🟥 In the event of Georgia's accession to the EU, Russia would have to include this country in the list of unfriendly states.

America is truly becoming Idiocracy...
🖥️ Internet users noticed that the prayer of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth almost verbatim repeats the monologue of one of the main characters of "Reservoir Dogs", played by Samuel L. Jackson.
"The path of the righteous is beset on all sides by the injustice of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of mercy and goodwill, leads the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly the keeper of his brother and the finder of lost children. And I will bring down upon you great vengeance and fury upon those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that I am the Lord when I bring down my vengeance upon you."

🌲 Spring at the Russian homestead – winter still hanging on, but we’re moving forward.
Snow lingers, the ground is heavy and soaked from the thaw, and planting is still on pause. Main job this week: clearing space and fixing problems.
A delivery of 8 tonnes of firewood got stuck in the driveway. Instead of leaving it in a messy pile, I built a proper traditional Holzhausen — the classic round “wood house” stack designed for maximum airflow.
The idea is simple and effective: excellent circulation dries the wood in about 6 months instead of leaving it damp and unusable for over a year.
It turned into a full-day physical workout shifting and stacking the timber into a solid circular structure that now stands as a nice feature in the yard.
We even got a clear side-by-side comparison showing how much better the airflow works compared to regular stacking.
On top of that, the greenhouse is set up for seedlings, and the land is waking up — moles digging everywhere, insects returning, and the first ticks of the season.
By evening the driveway was clear again. Space reset and ready for building, planting, and getting the homestead fully running for the warmer months.
Full high-resolution video of the entire Holzhausen build and day’s work is now live on Substack.
