MORE FRUSTRATIONS OVER IRAN: USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT HEADING TOWARD MIDDLE EAST AS CARRIER BUILDUP GROWS

Putin: "The whole world is amazed by the courage and heroism of the Iranian nation and its resilience"

United States is sending the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT towards middle east as the US President Donald Trump said is either Iran signed the deal or exist no more.

Donald Trump's leadership have been increasingly desperate and frustrated at the same time as Tehran refused to surrender or sign Trump's deal.

According to the reports by both A Jazeera and the Jerusalem Post, President Trump has decided to deploy a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East.

A US official told Al Jazeera the carrier and its strike group are heading to the Middle East, 

With three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups expected around Iran by the end of November

Russian President Vladimir Putin commended the Persian leadership for standing up to defend their sovereignty.

Putin said, the whole world is amazed by the courage and heroism of the Iranian nation and its resilience. He said the world will have to agree on a new global order

Sooner or later, East and West, North and South will have to agree on the principles of a new world order, Vladimir Putin said.

The world cannot be bipolar; it must be diverse and multipolar." President Putin declares the end of block-based hegemony and asserts every nation's right to pursue its own path.  Russia is still viewed in the West as part of an empire that should be “broken up further,” Vladimir Putin said addressing the Valdai Forum.

He argued that Western countries had in practice worked toward that goal despite Moscow’s years-long efforts to become part of a common European space.

Putin said true national greatness requires keeping pace with change, or ideally staying ahead of it, adding that Russia is charting its own path into the future and is ready to cooperate with other countries.

Moscow firmly rejects the nostalgic drive toward a cold-war-style bipolar order. A truly multipolar world directly undermines Western bloc politics, demanding a system built on sovereign equality and diverse power centers rather than ideological conformity.

Putin 

Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club, the Russian leader said current global trends are forcing countries to confront a central question: how to preserved international peace and security.

Putin added that responsibility for the world’s shared future is “not an abstract slogan.”

He called the killing of Iran’s Ali Larijani a ‘tremendous mistake.’ ‘Such a person would be needed today to find compromises & solutions that could bring peace to the Persian Gulf’

Vladimir Putin said Russia hopes the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and sanctions on Iran will be lifted.

He reiterated that Moscow opposes aggression and supports resolving disputes through peaceful means. Putin also said Russia’s proposal to transfer Iran’s enriched uranium to Russian territory remains on the table.

Moscow and Tehran continue their economic and political ties despite US and allies pressure.

Putin: Russia was drawn into the Ukraine conflict

Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Forum, Vladimir Putin said Russia did not start the war but was deliberately pushed into the Ukraine conflict and forced to defend itself “with arms in hand” in response to aggression against the country.

He said Russophobia and discrimination against Russians must not become state ideology, and argued that seeking Russia’s “strategic defeat” was unacceptable.

Putin launches a fierce attack on the UN’s management, stating it is  run far less democratically than originally intended  and calling out Western manipulation within global institutions.

Putin’s direct assault on the UN leadership exposes the stark reality of Western double standards. By calling out how global governance has been hijacked as an instrument of Western influence, Moscow forcefully pushes for a complete overhaul toward a truly equal multipolar system.

Putin concluded by calling on countries to live peacefully and jointly search for ways to achieve that.

American forces set to leave Iraq, leaving opening for Iran

U.S. forces are set to depart from their last bases in Iraq by Wednesday, a move celebrated as a victory by Iran and its allies, who now have deep influence in the country where 4,500 Americans died during more than two decades of war.

Iraqi security experts say the withdrawal — agreed to in 2024 under U.S. President Joe Biden and carried out by Donald Trump’s administration even as it wages war against Iran — could give Tehran and its allies free rein, while also allowing other U.S. enemies, including the Islamic State, to stage a comeback.

It is glaring now more than ever that the regional security is to be primarily handle by the middle east leaders with Tehran playing major roles.

Iran stands to benefit strategically from the coalition’s departure because it removes a military presence that for years acted as a counterweight to Tehran’s influence in Iraq,” said Jasim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi security analyst specialising in studying armed Shi’ite groups aligned with Iran.

He predicted that the pro-Iranian militia groups would not only portray the departure as a victory for their movement, but also “seek to translate that momentum into greater influence over security and political decision making.”

Abu Mojtaba al-Yasiri, a commander in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an ‌umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, described the U.S. withdrawal as “a historic victory for the Iraqi Islamic resistance groups and honorable Iraqis, and a crushing defeat for the American project.”

“On Sept. 30, we will celebrate the turning of a black page in Iraq’s history and the failure of the occupation to impose its will on our country,” he told Reuters. “Iraq has proven that its sovereignty cannot be secured by foreign forces, but by the resistance and the will of its people.”

NOT READY

While the eventual departure of U.S. forces is broadly popular among Iraqis, those who worry about the strength of the Iran-backed groups fear the withdrawal is premature.

“We believe Iraq is still not fully ready to take over the security file at this time,” Abdulrahman al-Zobaie, a Sunni tribal leader in Fallujah, once a bastion of anti-American resistance, told Reuters.

“All Iraqis aspire to full sovereignty, and no Iraqi would dispute that. But I believe that the [U.S.-led coalition] leaving in this way and creating a vacuum is what all Iraqis fear.”

American forces invaded Iraq in 2003 to topple Sunni Muslim dictator Saddam Hussein, and went on to occupy the country, install a Shi’ite-led government and fight a years-long counterinsurgency before withdrawing at the end of 2011.

They returned less than three years later to help Iraqi forces defeat the Sunni militant group the Islamic State in a major war from 2014 to 2017.

Around twice as many Americans died in “Operation Iraqi Freedom” as in the parallel war in Afghanistan, which ended with an abrupt U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In recent years, Iraq has been the only country to maintain close political and military alliances with both the United States and Iran, which sometimes used Iraqi territory as a proxy battlefield.

Iran offers U.S. a seven-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

 

The Islamic Republic of Iran has offered a seven days plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz water way.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Tehran has offered the U.S. a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if conditions are met.

According to the Iran's FM, “Iran has conveyed to the United States, through Qatar, a concrete seven-day plan. If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, and normal maritime passage restored within seven days.”

Araghchi said the next step depends on Washington,

“The choice now rests with the United States.”

The reported plan includes a seven-day halt to regional hostilities, the release of at least $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets, lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, and an end to the U.S. naval blockade. Iran would reopen Hormuz on the seventh day of the truce.

“If there is seriousness in the U.S. side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared.”

IRAN CONFIRMS TALKS with TRUMP ENVOYS — Tasnim

 

AGENDA: IRAN’S TERMS for REOPENING STRAIT OF HORMUZ

CONDITIONS: ‘Immediate lifting of blockade, immediate payment of all frozen Iranian assets, and an end to war on all fronts’

Iranian State TV Confirmed that a Direct Meeting took place between Araghchi and Withkoff in New York

The meeting lasted Three Hours

Iran presented its Demands regarding the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz:

- The immediate lifting of the Naval Blockade

- The immediate release of all of Iran's Frozen a

Assets

- End to the war across All Fronts

TRUMP HINTS AT NUKING IRAN AT UNGA 

“I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? 

Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? 

Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness for generations?

But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn’t make sense for them not to. 

They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don’t realize is that I’m not running. I did that already and won in a landslide.”

Tehran to Washington — Any new US attack will bring unrestricted strikes on all American bases & economic interests in the Middle East

Tehran has issued a fresh warning to Washington that any renew military strike against the Persian will be met with continuous and relentless retaliatory Iranian ballistic missiles strikes.

Iran's war command stated it has information that US together with its some regional countries, is preparing to resume large scale attacks on Iran. 

 Islamic Republic has warned any attack will be met with sustained strikes on every US base and economic interest in the region with no limitations.  Gulf countries that will allow their territory to be used would be considered complicit and could no longer expect Iranian restraint.

The Iran's statement comes after top US, Israel and Gulf commanders met in Germany last week to discuss about Iran war.

According to Global Surveillance, US could resume large scale operations against Iran including Ground Invasion.

Observations in the last 24 hours indicated that: 

US C-17 cargo planes landed in Middle East with unknown cargo.

 US B-1B strategic bombers at RAF Fairford, UK conducted training operations.

Iran Deploys Ground Special Forces along Southern coastline expecting US may invade the country in the future as IRGC said the US has decided to resume military action against Iran at a joint meeting in a European country, with a "green light" given from regional countries, and warns that if the US moves, "all of its bases and interests in the region will become targets of continuous attacks, without any limitations or considerations."

The warning was issued towards US and Gulf states that host America forces. Iran has struck US bases in the region during war but it considers attacking its economic interests inorder to pressure Host countries to restrict Washington use of their airspace, bases and logistics.

US to resume strikes on Iran has been confirmed for now.

Already, dozens of drones have been Launched toward Iran from the Southern coastal Regions and Western Borders , according to an Iranian sources.

Earlier, an Israeli-made Orbiter Drone was Shot Down near the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking to Fox News on Iran War, US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he is in a deciding mode.

I am in a “deciding mode,” and very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future.

The choices are: wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal.

They better behave!

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee on Sunday said President Trump greatly underestimated Iran.

He said , "Today, nobody considers America’s war with Iran to be a rational or logical war. Everyone describes it as a stupid war, and I want to add another word to that: ignorant."

"America’s military, economic and political actions were not based on any precise assessment or accurate calculations. They were carried out entirely at the instigation of Israel and Netanyahu personally."

Mohsen Rezaee dares American forces to step on the Iranian soil. 

The Arab countries must completely prevent America and tell it, "You have no right to launch from our countries to bomb Iran."

We are serious about defending ourselves. This time, if war begins, we will strike more severely all the U.S. air bases from which those aircraft take off.

We will strike them with greater force.

Unconfirmed reports also indicated that the Trump administration has sent new private messages to Qatar, containing assurances that Trump now wants to reach a deal with Iran. Sources cited Qatar's foreign ministry.

This comes after Iran conveyed its conditions to the US through Qatar and is now awaiting a response.

Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in US compensation, complete lifting of all US sanctions, release of $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets, end of the US naval blockade, US troop withdrawal from the entire region, and a comprehensive regional ceasefire including in Lebanon and Gaza. 

Iran also said on Thursday it will not open the Strait of Hormuz until Trump and Netanyahu are out of power.

Europeans are covering up their mistakes in economic policy by talking about a supposed threat from Russia — Putin

Putin: I want to say once again,  Russia has no aggressive intentions toward Europe or European countries. We simply have no basis for this whatsoever. 

We are ready for cooperation and for restoring relations with our European neighbors.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission on Friday. Key points and quotes from the President of Russia at the meeting:

✔️ Russia is not facing fewer external threats.

✔️ The power in Kyiv is usurped by a "gang of embezzlers" who need a war to stay in power.

✔️ Ukraine is supposedly offering to resume negotiations, but its actions are doing everything to prevent any negotiations from taking place.

✔️ Russia has no aggressive intentions towards Europe.

✔️ European leaders are using Ukrainians as cannon fodder.

✔️ NATO is expanding and growing, encroaching on various regions of the world.

✔️ Europeans are covering up their mistakes in economic policy by talking about a supposed threat from Russia.

✔️ Special attention in the new state program for armaments will be paid to the development of unmanned aerial vehicles.

✔️ A satellite constellation for high-speed internet access will allow for real-time control of troops.

✔️ The share of modern weapons in the Strategic Missile Forces is 92%.

✔️ Air defense must provide protection against any means of air attack.

✔️ Among the unconditional priorities of the new state program for armaments is the strengthening of the nuclear triad.

Iran’s Air Force unveils its newly acquired Russian Sukhoi-35 fighter jets

 

Tehran has reportedly unveiled its newly acquired Russian Sukhoi-35 fighter jets to boost the country's Air Force capabilities.



The aircraft are set to strengthen Iran’s airpower and add another advanced capability to its forces operating around the Persian Gulf amidst the ongoing confrontation and escalations with the United States and allies hosting enemy's military bases in the region

Iran had previously finalized a major military contract with Russia to acquire 48 advanced Sukhoi Su-35 multirole fighter jets to modernize its aging air force.

In the contract was also avionics, electronic warfare components, and over 300 missiles.

The acquisition was first officially confirmed by senior Iranian military leadership, including Brigadier General Ali Shadmani of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.

Russia's Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant has completed production of the initial batch of 20 jets, with ongoing deliveries and base preparations scheduled through 2028.

This purchase replaces Iran's deteriorating fleet of pre-1979 U.S.-built aircraft like the F-14 Tomcat and deepens defense ties between Tehran and Moscow.

Amidst the tension in the Persian Gulf, Iran also acquired military fighter jets and electronic equipment from China.

We Don't Know which of Donald Trump's Unstable statements to process — Iranian President

Israel, America are the real terrorists in the world - Iranian Leader

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said the Persian leadership are not sure of What to believe and process among the various unstable statements of the US President Donald Trump

According to the Iranian leaders, Trump is saying something every day. One day he wants to destroy Iran, another day he says we are friend of Iran. 

"One day he says he accept us. Another day he says he doesn't accept us."

"So we are not sure what kind of statement we should, you know, accept and proceed based on which."

The US military and IDF have met their match in the middle east as all their military and economic pressure armed at crossing Tehran proved abortive.

NATO Nations have failed to participate in the aggression against Iran weighing the dearly consequences.

Arab nations hosting the US military bases are dancing to the tunes of Iranian ballistic missiles for allowing US to use their airspace in the operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"We have no problems with the UAE. We have no problem with any of the regional countries. "

"We have a problem with the American bases located in these countries and from which they are attacking our country."

*The UAE, the Emiratis and other countries of the region are our brothers. We have been living together for a long time and we have had trade. We have supported each other. "

"So this is the US which has come here and established bases, and from those bases they martyr our children, they attack our infrastructure and target our leaders, commanders and people. "

"In fact, the problem is that the friendly and neighboring countries should not allow enemies to utilize their soil to attack our country."

We are not in war with Saudi Arabia and the Houthis have their own problems.

Rhetorics by the US President have not deterred the IRGC from retaliatory attacks against the US military as the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. 

President Masoud Pezeshkian said America claims to defend human rights. They want to starve our people to death or bring about some other problems for them. 

They want us to yield and surrender. This is not humane. This is the most savage thing they can do. 

They are blocking the routes of medicines and goods. We are doing business and trade, but they block our money. What is the logic behind that? The U.S. is doing propaganda. It is just propaganda.

If we were seeking nuclear weapons, we wouldn’t have become a member of the NPT. Now they are bringing about alibis and pretexts to attack our soil.

With their technologies, actually they are the real terrorists in the world.

You look at Israel and America. No difference what they are doing in Syria, in Lebanon, in Gaza, Iraq, Qatar, even in Iran.

They assassinate anybody they wish, and then they claim that these people are terrorists. So it’s a weird world.

They kill people very easily for a single person. They kill a whole family and they destroy a whole building, then they say they killed a terrorist.

They are real terrorists. They are state terrorists.

Earlier, President Pezeshkian speaking during the BRICS submit in Delhi, India, said Sustainable security depends on full respect for national sovereignty and rejecting the model of “security for some and insecurity for others.” Preventing the misuse of countries’ territories to threaten their neighbours is an inviolable principle. 

He said BRICS must stand against the normalization of attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities.

'NATO didn’t want to help us with the Strait… Why the hell are we helping them?' — Trump

 

IAEA Says Notices New activity at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, Accusing Tehran of Non-Compliance with Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act

The International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA says it has detected new activity at Iran’s heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain site, but has no evidence yet of what is happening inside the underground complex.


IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said inspectors have not accessed the site and are relying on remote imagery.

The agency, backed by the United States is accusing Iran of not confirming with the UN nuclear non-proliferation act.


The Board of Governors of the United Nations nuclear watchdog passed a resolution accusing Tehran of failing to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation commitments and referring the matter to the UN Security Council (UNSC).

United States and its key European allies are looking for all means to pressure Iran. This comes more than six months into the US-Israeli war against Iran, and as tensions flare in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US and Iran have traded attacks on vessels in recent days.

IAEA has not had access to the Iranian nuclear facilities since the US/Israel 12 days war against Iran.

Donald Trump ADMITS He Would BOW TO IRAN if They Had NUKES

 The President of the United States Donald Trump on Wednesday admitted that if Iran had possessed nuclear bomb, he would had been calling the Iranian Supreme leader with due respect.

Trump on Iran: If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I would be calling the Supreme Leader. 

I would be saying, "Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?"

If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I would be calling the Supreme Leader. 

I would be saying, "Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?".

United States will not let Iran get it.

TRUMP SAYS IRAN WAR WILL BE OVER SHORTLY AFTER ELECTION

Iran has not possessed unclear weapons, however, the Tehran's Ballistic Missiles and their resilient courage to confront the US and the Israel's aggression have forever changed the global perception of the American invincibility. 

The Islamic forces of Iran have totally changed the security middle east mindsets of depending on the United States.

Iranian leaders have insisted the the war can only come to an end on the Iran's terms only.

All the US military bases have continue to be vulnerable and at the mercy of the Iran's ballistic missiles.

While desperately hoping to end Iran's war, the US President makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms.

“I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”

US Embassy in Baghdad, Other military positions in Middle East under heavy attacks

The US Embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, has been targeted by drone and rocket attacks. This attack comes amid a further escalation of the US-Iran conflict in the region.

Tensions have reached a boiling point with Iran and its allied groups retaliating.

Following an attack on the US base at Al-Asad, Iran launched ballistic missiles at US positions in Jordan in retaliation. According to Jordan, its air defenses intercepted eight missiles.

In short, human collateral damages was reported as this marks a new phase of escalating US-Iran tensions; videos of missile launches from Tehran are being linked to this retaliatory strike.

Kuwait and Bahrain are not spared by the Iranian ballistic missiles.

Also, Iran is striking U.S. military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait with drones and missiles.

Multiple explosions are being heard as the attacks unfold, marking another major escalation against American forces across the Gulf.

Iranian media claims that a US warship attempting to enter the Strait was targeted by Iranian cruise missiles. Reports say the US destroyer attempted to seize control of the waterway, prompting the Iranian Navy to retaliate.

However, US officials have denied reports that the warship was damaged in a missile attack, and the claim has not been independently confirmed.

Iran IRGC has also claimed to have targeted a US vessel with a cruise missile near the Strait of Hormuz. 

This action is being described as part of a growing US-Iran military confrontation over control of the Strait.

Direct confrontation between the two sides in Hormuz has intensified. 

Iran maintained that U.S. strikes on civilian areas are brutal war crimes. Iran exercised its inherent right of self-defense and struck the bases that were the origin and support of this aggression

The US carried out airstrikes on southern Iran, killing at least 4 civilians, injured more than 70 others.

"Iran’s armed forces responded with missile and drone attacks on US bases in the region, causing heavy damage and casualties among American commanders and soldiers."

"These operations will continue until the US regrets its actions."

"Any country that cooperates with the US military will face serious consequences.Victory comes only from God, the Mighty and Wise." IRGC said in a statement

Iran publicly displayed a downed US MQ-9 drone.

According to Iran, this is the same MQ-9 drone that was shot down during the US operation. Its estimated value is around

Tehran said the MQ-9 Reaper displayed today is a clear demonstration of what awaits any foreign military asset that enters Iranian-controlled airspace without authorization.

"This is a $30 million U.S. combat drone, designed for long-endurance surveillance and precision strikes."

"Iran have recovered and displayed it for one reason, to make our position unmistakable.

"Iran will defend its airspace, and no American aircraft should assume it is beyond our reach."

US generals WARN Hegseth Iran WAR becomes UNSUSTAINABLE — WP

Top US military officials are currently concerned that 6-month campaign weakened US's readiness for threats elsewhere, including defending the homeland.

The assessment reportedly described the situation as 'too much for too long'

In 1988's Operation Praying Mantis, the US destroyed half of Iran's navy in 8 hours.

The result? Iran spent the next 40 years mastering asymmetric warfare, naval mines, and missile blockades.

History shows tactical dominance in the Gulf never guarantees supply chain control.

US-Iran competing claims over Strait of Hormuz, IRGC Swarm the waterway with several boats

In a direct challenge to US President Donald Trump’s claim of “total control” over the Strait of Hormuz, hundreds of Iranians and Basij volunteers reportedly took to the water and sailed through the strait.

Several boats were reportedly warned multiple times by U.S. Navy forces, but ignored the warnings and continued their passage.

The move comes as Washington and Tehran continue their competing claims over who controls the strategic waterway.

According to Iranian sources and video footage, Iranian paramilitary volunteers rushed to the strait of Hormuz, after Trump announced that America controls the strait. Despite the US Navy threats and warnings some of the boats continued to sail.

Tehran source also indicates that ships lineup in the Strait of Hormuz unable to pass by.

Russia successfully launches ICBM from Plesetsk Cosmodrome — MoD

Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces practiced redeploying a mobile ICBM to a remote location before preparing and launching it

Russia demonstrated one of its mobile nuclear missiles in action as it was fired from Plesetsk in northern Russia and traveled around 5,700 km across the country to the Kura test range in Kamchatka.

They never said exactly which missile it was, but the launcher and setup look like an RS-24 Yars, one of its nuclear missiles that can be driven around instead of sitting in a silo.

 The training warheads reportedly made it to the target as there was no actual nuke on it. That’s why these things are on trucks. They move around, find a spot, fire, and get out of of the spot.

Absolutely, it was a test of the strategic missile system’s performance however , every such launch also serves as a reminder that Russia’s nuclear forces remain operational and combat-ready.

According to the MOF, all assigned tasks were fully executed. The Strategic Missile Forces trained the redeployment mechanism to a remote area for an intercontinental ballistic missile launch battery, including preparation and execution of the launch.

The purpose of the launch was to confirm the tactical, technical, and flight characteristics of the missile system.

According to Moscow Times, the latest launch comes less than a week after unverified reports claimed that Ukrainian drones targeted Plesetsk, Russia’s only military spaceport.

Russia Will Not Attack a NATO Member - Trump

United States President Donald J. Trump on Thursday repeatedly assured reporters that Russia will not attack a NATO member, following CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s visit to Russia to warn Russian decision-makers against such a move. 

President Trump said, “I’ve had good talks with him, he won’t be attacking a NATO territory

Russian MFA Maria Zakharova said any foreign troops in Ukraine that hinder the conduct of the special military operation are to become legitimate military targets.

Russia could target British military facilities in Ukraine and beyond in response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons.

The America led NATO members have all been fighting a proxy war against Russia using Ukraine land. 

The Patriot missiles interceptors have been drained as a result of Ukraine's war against Russia and the US military aggression against Iran in the middleeast. They entire NATO allies are probably in fear of any Russia's strike against any of the member States.

When asked by reporters whether Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to not attack a NATO country, President Trump said, 

“I’ve had good talks with him. He’s not going to be attacking a NATO territory

Trump assured the reports  that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attack any NATO nation.

So far, I think Russia has behaved quite well, having to do with the Strait of Hormuz.

For everything they do, we do also. That is spying on Russia and China.

We had a good conversation with Putin, he's not planning to attack NATO, Trump said 

Trump: 'Russia’s behaved quite well having to do with Strait of Hormuz'

'For everything they do, we do also'

'What about China, they’re spying… we spy on them too'

Russia to targets UK, other foreign military bases in Ukraine

 Russia Federation has said any foreign troops in Ukraine that hinder the conduct of the special military operation are to become legitimate military targets, Russian MFA Maria Zakharova said

Russia could target British military facilities in Ukraine and beyond in response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons - MFA spox

Any British military facilities and hardware, located both inside the Ukraine and beyond its borders, may become legitimate targets in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil using British weapons. Those complicit in war crimes, including actions targeting our civilian population, will be penalized proportionally to their offenses.

Hormuz escalation could hit global security 'even harder'—Russian MFA spox

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is disrupting supply chains and hurting economies, particularly in developing countries, while increasing the burden on ordinary grassroots consumers, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in response to a Sputnik correspondent's question.

In the event there's a new round of escalation of the conflict or an economic war unleashed in the Persian Gulf, global and regional energy security are going to be hit even harder, Zakharova warned.

Iranian missile struck an underground bunker in Tel Aviv

There was a Major escalation in the Middle East early morning of Thursday as Iranian missile strikes  targeted the Israeli Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv, causing massive explosions and severe secondary fires across the area.

Among the targets for missiles strikes is Israel's Ben Gurion Airport which is currently on fire, according to a report.

 An Iranian missile reached and struck an underground bunker situated beneath a building in Tel Aviv; in other words, the attack is claimed to have targeted not just the building itself, but also the secure facility located beneath it.

However, independent confirmation of the claim indicated that it was a "first in history" event—indicating that Iranian missiles damaged protected or military installations in the vicinity of Tel Aviv.

Also Iran claims that Israel's Nevatim airbase—where F-35I fighter jets and other military aircraft are stationed was targeted —causing heavy damage with missiles. However, there is no independent confirmation yet that the airbase was completely destroyed,  therefore, for now, remains an Iranian claim.

Tehran continues its missile attacks until the early morning hours, employing new tactics using advanced guided missiles directed via the Chinese BeiDou satellite navigation system

Iran's IRGC in a statement said, “Iran will target every corner of Israel with advanced missiles and will challenge Israel’s military dominance before the world.”

Unconfirmed report aledged that Iran's hypersonic missiles that targeted an Israeli security meeting in Tel Aviv, killed more than 10 Israeli generals. 

It is claimed that these officers were planning an attack against Iran's Supreme Leader.

Footage: CIA Chief in a High-Level Backchannel Visit to Moscow Alongside Vatican Officials

The CIA personnel in Moscow alongside Vatican officials is raising concerns.


What’s brewing behind the scenes? Something significant may be unfolding as CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare, unannounced visit to Moscow on August 25, 2026, meeting with Russian intelligence counterparts at Vnukovo Airport. The secretive trip—which bypassed a meeting with Vladimir Putin—prompted Washington to ask Ukraine for a brief localized halt on regional drone strikes

CIA Director John Ratcliffe of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) travelled to Moscow for unannounced talks, the BBC's US news partner CBS has reported.

He made a rare, unannounced visit to Moscow on August 25, 2026, meeting with Russian intelligence counterparts at Vnukovo Airport.

Neither Washington or Moscow have confirmed the nature of the visit or who he was due to meet.

According to a report, the secretive trip—which bypassed a meeting with Vladimir Putin—prompted Washington to ask Ukraine for a brief localized halt on regional drone strikes.

A U.S. military aircraft transported the CIA delegation to Moscow's Vnukovo airport on Tuesday, August 25, before departing later that day.

Ratcliffe held discussions with Russian security and intelligence officials, marking a rare high-level physical presence of a U.S. spy chief in the Russian capital.

U.S. officials requested that Ukraine temporarily suspend air strikes targeting Moscow, St. Petersburg, and select northern zones while the delegation was in transit.


Flight tracking data confirmed a large US military aircraft travelled to Russia from the US via Latvia on Tuesday. It departed later on Tuesday.

Footage posted on social media showed the C-17 transport plane approaching Moscow's Vnukovo international airport.

It departed Riga airport at 05:50 GMT and appeared to have landed in the Russian capital at around 07:04 GMT, according to data from FlightRadar24. It returned to Riga shortly before 17:00 GMT.

Iran Says It Reached Hormuz Revenue-Sharing Deal With Oman

Iran’s IRGC says Tehran and Muscat have agreed on their respective shares of Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran has been consistently affirming it that the Strait of Hormuz is under it's firm control.

Iranian forces boarded an Israeli cargo ship and seized a shipment of weapons.
