Iran has conveyed a three-stage negotiation formula to the US through intermediaries, - Al Mayadeen
▪️1. Complete cessation of war and obtaining guarantees that rule out its resumption against Iran and Lebanon.
▪️2. Transition to discussions on the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The plan envisages coordination with Oman to establish a new legal framework.
▪️3. The nuclear program will be included in the negotiation agenda only at the final stage and only if an agreement is reached on the previous two stages.

🇺🇸 US imperialist idea of ruling the world may destroy planet — Jeffrey Sachs
The idea held by Trump and (some of) his supporters — that the US is the supreme nation is a dangerous delusion that totally can’t work in today’s world, American economist Jeffrey Sachs says.
The only viable way to exist among many powerful (and nuclear) states, he warns, is to learn to cooperate and solve problems with others, because the other way is a war and the collapse of civilization.
💬 "So all the bluster is a remnant of an idea that the US has pursued during its imperial era since WW2 that we should run the world. And Trump has a particular view of that, which is that he should run the world," Sachs concludes.
So much for the anti globalist branding?

The Ukrainian side reports that the assault on Konstantinovka, which had long been carried out by small groups, began to be implemented by the Russian army from the northwest.
This is indirectly confirmed by some reports about the infiltration of Russian infantry into the city, but there is currently no talk of a mechanized assault or a dense Russian infiltration.
Nevertheless, previous operations, such as the successful assault on Pokrovsk, also began with small infiltrations into different microdistricts of the city.

Shooting at Trump's dinner with White House reporters and politicians
▪️The US President was evacuated due to a shooting at a White House correspondents' dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel.
▪️The shooting occurred in a restaurant where a dinner with the media was taking place. Trump and his wife were urgently removed from the stage and taken out of the building.
▪️The US President later showed the moment of the shooting and stated that the fire was opened by a "hooligan from California", 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen.
➖"It was unexpected. But the security service and the police worked clearly. The event was about freedom of speech - we gathered both politicians and the press. One officer received a bullet, but his body armor saved him - the shot was from a very close distance and from a powerful weapon", - Trump stated in the White House after the shooting.

🇩🇪German journalist Jörges - on the fact that the Germans chose the wrong chancellor:
For a long time, this conclusion has been final for me: he is a man without principles. His politics lacks principledness. He chooses the direction that seems right to him at the moment, and if it turns out to be wrong - he immediately changes course and moves in the opposite direction. This is extremely bad for a chancellor. And I believe that in this case, we got the wrong chancellor.

Global military spending in 2025 reached a record $2.88 trillion - an increase of 2.9% and continuing for the 11th consecutive year, according to a report by SIPRI - the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Defense accounted for about 2.5% of global GDP - the highest since 2009.
The largest military budgets remain the US ($954 billion), China ($336 billion), and Russia ($190 billion). They account for 51% of global military spending.
However, "US spending decreased, as no new financial military aid to Ukraine was approved during the year."
Against this backdrop, Ukraine increased its military spending by 20% and ranked 7th in the world.
As researcher Lorenzo Scarzatto notes, the share of defense spending in the budget has reached record levels in both Ukraine and Russia.
Germany rose to 4th place, exceeding 2% of GDP (2.3%) for the first time since 1990, and plans to increase this figure to 3.5% by 2029.

🇷🇺🎖🇰🇵 Belousov awarded medals to North Korean soldiers who distinguished themselves in the liberation of the Kursk region
- The North Korean soldiers were presented with Orders of Courage.
- The Russian Defense Minister emphasized that today we are honoring the true heroes of our time, who are the elite of the Korean armed forces, their pride and strong support.
- He noted that the presentation of state awards is not just a recognition of the professionalism of military personnel.
- "Behind every medal lies the hardest military work, sleepless nights, enormous mental and physical strain. The readiness to sacrifice oneself for the sake of fulfilling the task and saving the lives of comrades-in-arms. You acted in the most difficult conditions, demonstrating not only excellent training, but also a steely character. Your courage and determination greatly contributed to the achievement of our common success", emphasized Belousov.

The graph of Germany's GDP decline. Deutsche Bank expects a 0.2% drop in GDP in the second quarter and has halved its growth forecast for the entire year to 0.5%. The consensus forecast still suggests a slight increase of 0.15%, but the Germans manage to show results worse than forecasts year after year.
Germany's new industrial revolution suggests that its exports will not be cars, but military equipment.
At least people used to pay for German cars, but now Germany wants to sell military equipment to Ukraine on credit under the condition of reparations from Russia. If this does not happen, this money will lead to inflation.
Reparations are hard to imagine even hypothetically. For this, Ukraine would need to capture Moscow, but on the way it would face dozens of nuclear strikes and be left without a rear. But now Ukrainian politicians have abandoned their dreams of conquest.

From the Russian side, footage of the destruction of French Caesar self-propelled howitzers by the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to emerge. It's unclear how much of the footage is recent, but it's clear that the Ukrainian side, lacking the ability to maneuver artillery, resorts to using rare self-propelled howitzers even in the face of the threat of their loss.

But of course, it's the crew commander who decides what constitutes a foreign object in the cabin. 🫡

🇮🇷🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🏴☠️ Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: “We have prepared prisoner-of-war camps for enemy soldiers.”
“The enemies should also look at their burned and destroyed bases in the region, which, under the decisive and devastating blows of Iran’s Armed Forces, can no longer be revived or rebuilt. The only path and option available to them is to gather their human and logistical remnants and leave the region quickly and unconditionally.”
“Controlling the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining its deterrent effect on America and its White House allies in the region is the decisive strategy of Islamic Iran in continuing the 3rd imposed war against the global hegemonic camp. This strategy also includes facilitating the passage of commercial ships and vessels for all countries, with the exception of hostile American, Zionist, and their affiliated vessels.”
