America’s position on the Ukraine conflict has become almost indistinguishable from that of the EU, making US President Donald Trump’s stated ambition to mediate an end to the fighting hollow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told RT.
Trump repeatedly blamed the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on his predecessor, Joe Biden, and claimed that he could bring it to a swift conclusion while campaigning in 2024.
However, recent statements by members of his administration suggest a different course, Lavrov said on Thursday in an interview on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. … continue

The US House of Representatives has voted 226-195 to pass a legislative package imposing new sanctions on Russia and delivering more weapons to Ukraine, American media reported.
Defying their own party leadership, a faction of Republicans joined Democrats to force the bill through, choosing to fuel the conflict rather than address pressing domestic issues.
The measure includes a ban on Russian crude oil imports, draconian 500% tariffs on all Russian goods, and $8 billion in arms sales to Ukraine. It also extends the Pentagon’s security assistance powers until the end of 2027, revives the military lend-lease program, and mandates the militarization of the Baltic states. The bill now heads to the Senate. … Full article

A suspected Ukrainian maritime drone exploded in the Romanian port of Constanta on Friday morning, prompting a major emergency response and the evacuation of the area, local media and officials said.
The unmanned boat was discovered in the port several hundred meters from the oil terminal, local media said. It was reportedly carrying explosives and became stuck in an anti-pollution barrier before detonating. The location is also close to the headquarters of the Romanian Agency for Saving Human Life at Sea.
Romania’s Defense Ministry said the object self-detonated at around 10:30 AM without causing casualties. The area had already been secured and isolated by the Romanian authorities while the drone was being assessed.
The ministry has also stated that the drone did not belong to the Romanian military and had not been involved in recent exercises in the Black Sea, describing it as being “of the type used in the war in Ukraine.”
Local media later reported that three more drones had exploded. Another one near the Port of Constanta, and two more in Ukrainian waters. Constanta County Prefect Adrian Picoiu told the News.ro outlet that the drones were of Ukrainian origin.
Commander Sandu Mateiu also told local news outlet Digi24 that the vessel resembled a Ukrainian MAGURA V5 maritime drone used by Kiev’s military intelligence, which can carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives, travel long distances, and often operate in swarms. … continue

The Ukrainian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire regime at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, with a drone dropping a munition on personnel from a Russian Defense Ministry demining team.
Five servicemen were injured and received the necessary medical assistance.
“The incident occurred during the first hours of the ceasefire introduced to allow work on restoring the 750 kV Dneprovskaya power line, which is of critical importance for the safety of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant,” the plant said.
The station described the attack as a gross violation of the guarantees provided by the Ukrainian side.

Two National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers are charged with conspiring to smuggle biological materials, including deactivated monkeypox virus samples, into the U.S. from Africa. The researchers also allegedly lied to federal authorities about what they were carrying, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Detroit.
Vincent Munster, Ph.D., a Dutch citizen and chief of the Virus Ecology Section at NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and Claude Kwe Yinda, Ph.D., a Cameroonian research fellow, are charged with conspiracy to smuggle goods into the U.S. and making false statements to federal investigators.
Both men work at a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory, the highest level of containment used for research involving dangerous pathogens.
According to federal prosecutors, the researchers arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Jan. 25 after traveling from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a monkeypox outbreak was ongoing.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers questioned the pair about a large black case they were carrying. Prosecutors allege the men told officers the case contained diagnostic and testing equipment, but investigators later determined it held 113 vials stored in Styrofoam coolers.
Testing of a portion of the samples found deactivated monkeypox virus in 17 vials, chickenpox virus in one vial and human DNA in two others. … continue

America’s longest current criminal prosecution is in its 15th year, on its fifth judge, and still has no trial date.
The defendants are Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four alleged mass murder co-conspirators. Mohammed is the second person that the government has characterized as the ringleader of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Originally, the feds had labeled Osama bin Laden as the ringleader. Yet, rather than charging and arresting bin Laden, in order to keep him quiet it sent a team of Navy Seals to his home in Pakistan to murder him and his wife and their children.
After that, the feds labeled Mohammed as the orchestrator of 9/11 even though that, by the time of bin Laden’s death, Mohammed had been in US custody for eight years. During that time, he was brutally tortured by CIA officers and other US civilian agents. … continue

Users who turn to Starlink believing it grants anonymity may be stepping into a far more dangerous trap. An Israeli investigation suggests that satellite internet users can be detected, located, and linked to real identities within minutes.
This is not necessarily by hacking Starlink or breaking its encryption, but by exploiting the commercial data economy that follows every phone, app, and advertising ID.
In West Asia, and especially in Lebanon, the danger is immediate. Starlink users may believe they are slipping past broken infrastructure, censorship, or wartime shutdowns.
Instead, they may be handing Israeli and US intelligence-linked systems the very data needed to identify, map, and target them – from journalists and doctors to bank employees, refugees, fighters, aid workers, and civilians in border villages. … continue

A new report has exposed the role of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network in the US-Israeli aggressions against Iran, saying the technology marketed as civilian infrastructure became an integral component of lethal strikes on the Islamic Republic.
According to a recent Reuters investigation, based on Pentagon documents and interviews with multiple sources, Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network served as the operational backbone for US military drone strikes during the June 2025 and February 2026 wars against Iran.
The report revealed that the network also served as a tool for political destabilization and Western-backed efforts to fragment the Islamic Republic.
Under a 2023 agreement, SpaceX sells a military-specific version called Starshield to the Pentagon. These terminals can connect to both commercial Starlink satellites and a separate, more secure constellation also named Starshield.
At the start of the war, Starlink was already a core component of US strikes on Iran. In testing and early deployments, it supported several systems, from aerial attack drones to unmanned surface vessels used for maritime spy and strike missions.
When the US launched its aggression, Starshield terminals were being used across over a dozen drone systems.
The Reuters investigation confirm that Starlink provided real-time video feeds and command guidance to LUCAS loitering munitions reverse-engineered from Iran’s Shahed drones.
Thousands of Starlink terminals smuggled into Iran also complemented the official military use.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States smuggled approximately 6,000 Starlink terminals into Iran in January 2026 alone. … Full article

While Washington’s media class was loudly hyperventilating over Section 224 of the defense bill, the brazen attempt to weld the U.S. and Israeli militaries into a single high-tech fighting force, a far more consequential power shift was quietly advancing through the Senate with almost no resistance.
Section 622 of S. 4615, the Intelligence Authorisation Act for Fiscal Year 2027, is not some routine bureaucratic tweak. It is a calculated, multi-year project to permanently embed Israeli strategic priorities into the bloodstream of American intelligence.
Where Section 224 focuses on tanks, jets, and joint weapons production and AI, Section 622 targets the invisible nervous system that often matters more: raw intelligence flows, surveillance capabilities, cyber operations, data streams, and regional early-warning networks. And it has moved forward with almost zero public debate.
The bill doesn’t politely encourage closer ties. It mandates them. … continue

Bahrani forces have arrested 20 people, including five Shia scholars, on fabricated charges of collaborating with Tehran as the Al Khalifah regime ramps up its repression of Shia Muslims following the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Sayyid Yasin Mousavi, Sheikh Ali al-Mustarishd, Sheikh Ja’far Ashour, Sheikh Nazir Malik, and Sheikh Mahmoud Taheri are the five Shia scholars, whose houses were raided on Wednesday without providing any reason, and taken away to an unknown location.
Additionally, another 15 people, including eulogists, Qur’an reciters, and Bahraini cultural and religious figures, were abducted across the Persian Gulf kingdom.
With the arrest of these five Shia scholars, the total number of Bahraini scholars who have been abducted since the beginning of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran has reached 58. Fifty-six of them were kidnapped by the Al Khalifah regime forces, while two others were apprehended in the United Arab Emirates. […]
Opposition sources said the abductions of scholars marks a new escalation in the regime’s ongoing sectarian violence against members of the Bahraini Shia Muslim community.
According to the sources, the recent abductions in Bahrain have taken place especially after the US-Israeli bloody onslaught against Iran, and the Bahraini nation’s firm opposition to the presence of American military bases in their soil, from which multiple attacks on Iranian soil were carried out.
The Bahraini people have also protested against the normalization of relations between Manama and Tel Aviv regimes. … Full article

Germany suffered a humiliating defeat in its bid for a non-permanent UN Security Council seat, with Berlin acknowledging that its unwavering support for Israel had cost it key votes in the General Assembly.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s effort to restore Germany’s influence on the global stage was dealt a severe blow on Wednesday when the United Nations General Assembly awarded the two coveted Western European Security Council seats to Portugal and Austria instead.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul described the outcome as a “bitter defeat,” attributing part of the loss to Berlin’s steadfast support for Israel, which he suggested alienated crucial UN allies.
However, he added that the result would not deter Germany from what he called continuing “to stand by our historical responsibility” to the Tel Aviv regime. … Full article

A House committee summarily struck down an amendment to strip a measure from the massive annual defense policy bill that would provide Israel “a higher level of military-industrial integration” with the U.S. than Washington has “with any other country in the world.”
Pro-Israel voices on the House Armed Services Committee argued that reports about Section 224 — that Congress was trying to integrate U.S. and Israeli military systems as a way to entrench aid without proper oversight — were disingenuous and wrong.
In fact, members claimed that these were “existing initiatives” and that Section 224 “actually improves oversight and accountability of these programs by designating a single official responsible for them,” according to Chairman Mike Rogers, (R-Ala.)
Not quite true, said the Quincy Institute’s Ben Freeman, who broke the initial story of Section 224 for RS last week. “Members of Congress supporting the proposal laid out caricatures of critiques against Section 224. And when they did actually talk about the provision itself they spread half-truths and outright inaccuracies about how far this provision will go to integrate the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors.” … continue

Israeli forces have launched deadly airstrikes against residential apartments in the Gaza Strip, leaving a multitude of casualties, including children, as the occupying regime erects new military positions across the Palestinian territory.
Israeli airstrikes targeted the residential areas in western and northern Gaza City, setting homes ablaze and leaving widespread destruction, according to media reports on Thursday, citing local sources.
The local sources said the Israeli attacks left at least nine Palestinians dead and 20 others wounded.
Video footage of the scenes showed people and first responders saving the victims, while ambulances transported the casualties to hospitals.
One local source from the Al-Shifa Hospital reported four residential apartments in Gaza City had been struck in the Israeli attacks.
As the Israeli regime ramps up its attacks on Gaza, satellite imagery shows that as many as forty new Israeli military positions have been set up across the territory.
The satellite imagery revealed that Israeli forces were constructing heavy military infrastructure in strategic locations across the Palestinian land.
An investigation found that eight of the Israeli military positions were newly constructed and after the October 2025 ceasefire had gone into effect.
Two of the military positions were built in northern Gaza, two in the central region, one east of the Netzarim Corridor, and three in the southern city of Khan Younis. One of the positions was still under construction.
Israeli forces are not only erecting new bases, but also, strengthening and expanding the existing ones.
Israeli forces have reinforced the military position directly atop the ruins of the Eastern Cemetery in Khan Younis.
In total, the Israeli regime has set up 40 military positions inside Gaza connected by a network of earthen berms, trenches, and internal military roads.
The Israeli military positions encircle the Palestinian population centers, surrounding them from multiple directions in violation of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire. … Full article

… Kushner remarked on how investment into countries like Serbia and Albania through Affinity Partners was part of a comprehensive strategy to expand the sphere of influence of the State of Israel. In discussing the investment strategy of Affinity Partners, Kushner minced no words, making it clear how nations that aligned themselves with Israel would receive the benefits of investments from his firm. Kushner expounded on how that dynamic could be used to expand the sphere of Zionist influence, remarking, “We’re looking at opportunities to invest in countries who have joined the Abraham Accords, but we’re also looking at opportunities to invest in countries that might join the Abraham Accords and to create economic packages to incentivize them.” Kushner elaborated how partners of his had also suggested exploring the opportunities of investing in countries including Morocco and Syria in an effort to persuade their governments to join the Abraham Accords as the next stage of his strategy to leverage investment capital to expand the Israeli sphere of influence.
Neither Albania nor Serbia is currently signatory to the Abraham Accords. The potential of joining those agreements does not simply offer the prospect of the investment of financial capital into the countries but political capital as well. Albania has long sought admission into the European Union (”EU”). The country formally applied for membership in the EU in 2009. It was given official candidate status in 2014 and has rapidly accelerated its pace for accession since. EU officials and Prime Minister Edi Rama have set their sights on concluding negotiations for Albania to join the EU by the end of 2027, with an ambitious target date for becoming its newest member-state set for 2030. Serbia similarly filed its formal application to join the EU in 2009 and began membership negotiations in 2014. However, unlike Albania, negotiations between Serbia and the EU have reached impasses over proposed political, judicial, and foreign policy reforms. In the case of each country, the possibility of entering into the Abraham Accords provides them with political capital that can be leveraged to advance their respective accessions to the EU. That dynamic highlights how Jared Kushner’s development projects through Affinity Partners not only serve as a gateway for foreign investment to advance his political ambition to expand the Zionist sphere of influence; they also further the political ambitions of the nations he brings into the fold, a reciprocally beneficial arrangement in which Israel is the ultimate beneficiary. … Full article

Beijing and Tehran have significantly expanded their strategic cooperation since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran
The Cradle | June 3, 2026
Iranian Parliament Speaker and special representative for China affairs, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, held the first joint meeting with key economic officials on 3 June to align Tehran’s economic strategy toward Beijing.
The session in Tehran included the ministers of economy, oil, and industry, alongside the central bank governor and the head of the Plan and Budget Organization.
The assembly focused on establishing a unified government approach to elevate bilateral relations and coordinate the administration’s economic priorities. During the proceedings, officials evaluated China’s economic conduct amid the US-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the US and Israel.
Participants agreed to submit formal proposals to Ghalibaf to resolve outstanding challenges and deepen cooperation.
This coordination effort supports a developing strategy to position China as Iran’s “principal strategic partner” while expanding collaboration on regional and international issues.
Roughly 30 China-linked vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz in a single day in mid-May under the supervision of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy. … continue
On May 25, I wrote about how the Republican leadership of the United States House of Representatives had put off until the House would return from recess in June a vote on ending the Iran War. It had appeared that the war termination resolution would win a majority vote on the House floor
Here is an update. On Wednesday, with the House having come back into session this first week of June, the vote on the Iran War resolution took place. The resolution passed by a vote of 215 to 208. Breaking down the vote in a Reuters article, Patricia Zengerle wrote:
The four House Republicans who voted for the war powers resolution were Representatives Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
No Democrats voted against it. Seven House members did not vote.
House members were able to use the War Powers Resolution to force consideration of the Iran War termination resolution contrary to the wishes of House leadership.
But, before supporters of a noninterventionist US foreign policy celebrate too much, they should read on in Zengerle’s article to where she reports that also on Wednesday House members moved toward escalating US involvement in the Ukraine War, using another procedural mechanism to bypass leadership. She wrote:
Separately on Wednesday, the House approved a procedural motion that clears the way for a vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which would provide security aid to Ukraine as it fights a Russian invasion. The act reached the floor only after a petition reached a 218-signature threshold last month to move ahead.
Six Republicans and one independent who normally votes with Republicans voted in favor of the Ukraine measure.
With House Democrats appearing uniformly against one war and for another, it is hard not to see their views on the respective wars as political — vote against the Iran War because it is “President Trump’s war” and for the Ukraine War because it is “President Biden’s war.” (In truth, well over a year into Trump’s presidency, the Ukraine War that he had promised to end quickly has become clearly Trump’s war as well.) The same reasoning would seem to apply in reverse to the Republican leadership’s efforts to prevent votes on both matters. The “People’s House” is a disgrace.

The agreement requires a “complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah and the evacuation of all of the movement’s “operatives from the South Litani Sector.”
Hezbollah has not been a party to the talks and contends it will not abide by any agreement that would undermine Lebanese sovereignty and benefit the Israeli regime.

The Israeli occupation army’s Arabic-language spokesperson claimed that Hezbollah had “taken over” Tebnine Governmental Hospital, and uses it to treat wounded resistance fighters during the war, allegations that Hezbollah flatly rejected.
The resistance movement asserted that the Israeli regime “continues to spread lies and fabrications, directing its incitement and disinformation at the Lebanese people under the guise of concern for their safety, security, and future.”
Hezbollah underscored that the allegations are an explicit threat against Lebanese hospitals and medical institutions, stressing they constitute “a flagrant violation of international law and humanitarian norms and rise to the level of war crimes.”

Illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Tuesday across several areas of the occupied West Bank, burning agricultural lands, destroying crops, and stealing livestock in assaults targeting Palestinian communities in the Nablus, Hebron, and occupied Jerusalem districts.
In the village of As‑Sawiya, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, colonizers traveling in two vehicles invaded the area and ignited burning tires before rolling them toward surrounding farmland.
Hikmat Abu Ras, head of the village council, stated that the fires spread quickly across fields along the road between As‑Sawiya and Al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya, destroying large areas of wheat crops and olive trees.
Residents mobilized to confront the attackers and managed to extinguish the flames. Abu Ras urged official institutions to act immediately to provide basic protection for villages south of Nablus, which continue to face repeated colonizer attacks.
In a separate attack the same day, colonizers burned extensive wheat fields belonging to farmers in the town of Ethna, west of Hebron in the southern West Bank.

Israeli authorities have extended the detention of Rand Halawani, a 20-year-old player on the Palestinian women’s national football team, after she was summoned for questioning in occupied Al-Quds, as the occupation continues its systematic targeting of Palestinian athletes, the Palestinian Football Association has announced.
Halawani was arrested on Tuesday evening, and an occupation court subsequently extended her detention until Friday, according to the Palestinian governorate of occupied Al-Quds. The Palestinian Football Association denounced the prolonged detention, stating that Halawani’s arrest and that of a former national team player “is not an isolated incident, it is part of a well-documented pattern of systematic targeting of Palestinian athletes, which continues without accountability.”

Instead of pursuing potential war criminals, the British authorities appear too busy cracking down on critics of Israel. … continue

Bolivia is experiencing its deepest political and economic crisis in four decades, and the responses from Washington and Jerusalem have been striking in their similarity. Since early May 2026, a massive wave of protests led by Indigenous communities, miners, peasant unions, transport workers, teachers, and supporters of former leftist president Evo Morales has swept the country. Dozens of roadblocks have shut down highways, cutting off food, fuel, and medical supplies to cities. Protesters are demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, a center-right figure who took office on November 8, 2025, ending nearly 20 years of rule by the left-wing Movement for Socialism.
The protesters’ core grievances include fuel shortages, year-on-year inflation exceeding 20 percent at the time Paz took office, austerity cuts including the elimination of state fuel subsidies under Supreme Decree 5503—which practically doubled the consumer cost of fuel overnight—and a land classification law, Law 1720, seen as threatening Indigenous land rights by making farmland eligible for seizure as loan collateral. Although the government repealed Law 1720 on May 13, protests have continued to spread, with demands expanding to include wage increases, labor reform, and Paz’s resignation
The Paz government came to power on a platform of re-aligning Bolivia with the United States and Western financial institutions. Within weeks of taking office, Paz met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and signed a deal restoring Bolivia’s full diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed in 2023 under the prior MAS government to protest the war in Gaza. He also secured a $3.1 billion loan from a Latin American development bank, invited the DEA back into Bolivia, and joined Trump’s “Shield of the Americas” security coalition alongside Argentina, El Salvador, and a dozen other right-leaning governments. … continue

… The demonstrations at Zvërnec are unfolding in the same protected coastal landscape and political moment that frame the push to turn nearby Sazan into an elite destination. The 2026 Zvërnec protests began as local resistance in the villages of Zvërnec and Nartë and widened into a national issue after clashes near the project site drew country-wide attention. Demonstrators in Tirana rallied under the slogan “Albania is not for sale,” marching to the prime minister’s office and casting the fight as a defence of public coastline and protected landscape rather than a narrow dispute over property titles.
By the time the language in the streets turned from property to sovereignty, the conflict had already moved beyond planning law. Fences, guards, scuffles and police action gave the public something concrete to attach to an otherwise technical investment story.
During a May protest in the Portonovo area near Zvërnec, police initiated proceedings against 17 demonstrators after they attempted to block works at the site. […]
Albania has deepened ties with Israel in recent years in cyber-security, energy and technology, including a memorandum of understanding on cyber cooperation after cyber-attacks that Tirana and its allies attributed to Iran. Those ties have extended into tourism, aviation and economic branding through direct flights and related promotion.
Kushner’s presence sits inside that wider shift. He was one of the key political architects behind the Abraham Accords and later founded the Abraham Accords Peace Institute, an organisation built to deepen the trade, tourism and investment ties created by the normalisation agreements. … Read full article

The European Union is pressuring Armenia to expel the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) from the country as a prerequisite to EU integration, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has alleged.
In a statement on Wednesday, the SVR said that EU officials had made severing religious ties with Moscow a condition for closer ties with the West, a policy it said is being pursued by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The landlocked nation maintains close economic ties with Russia and hosts one of Moscow’s few military bases abroad. It is set to elect a new parliament on Sunday. Critics of Pashinyan have warned that he is steering Armenia down a path similar to Ukraine’s after the 2014 Western-backed coup. One of Kiev’s hallmark policies has been a crackdown on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which authorities accuse of promoting Russian interests. … continue

Hungary is on the cusp of lifting its veto on Ukraine beginning formal accession talks with the EU, according to hints from Prime Minister Peter Magyar and strategic leaks from Brussels. But why now? And will he compromise on Hungarian rights?
Speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin on Tuesday, Magyar said that he is “very optimistic” that a deal can be done to guarantee the rights of Ukraine’s Hungarian minority, in exchange for his government lifting the veto.
“The negotiations are progressing encouragingly,” he said, adding “I am ready to meet with Ukraine’s president at the beginning of next week, if we manage to agree on these fundamental human rights.”
Within an hour of Magyar’s statement, Politico published an article claiming that Budapest had privately “signaled it will drop its long-standing opposition to Ukraine’s bid for EU membership,” citing four unnamed diplomats. … continue

British police have released bodycam footage showing officers ignoring the dying pleas of an 18-year-old stabbing victim, after his attacker falsely claimed that he had been the victim of a racist attack.
Released on Monday, the footage shows officers handcuffing student Henry Nowak as he lay dying after being stabbed multiple times by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa in Southampton last year.
Nowak told the officers five times that he had been stabbed, to which one officer replied “I don’t think you have, mate.” Nowak was handcuffed and dragged across gravel, as Digwa remained uncuffed, telling officers that Nowak had torn off his turban in a racially-motivated attack.
The officers ignored Nowak’s pleas to call an ambulance and informed him that he was under arrest for assault, as he lost consciousness and drowned in his own blood.
Digwa was found guilty of murder last week and sentenced on Monday to 21 years in prison. The court heard that he attacked Nowak with no provocation, with prosecutors calling his claim of racism “a wicked lie.” Digwa’s mother was also found guilty of assisting an offender by hiding the knife that Digwa used to kill Nowak. … Full article

At least eight people have been killed and 11 others wounded in a Ukrainian drone strike on a passenger bus in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), local governor Denis Pushilin has said.
The bus was traveling between Moscow and the Crimean city of Simferopol and was attacked in the town of Enakievo in the western part of the DPR, Pushilin wrote in a post on Telegram on Wednesday morning. The initial death toll stood at seven, but it was revised later in the day when emergency services inspected the burned-out vehicle. […]
Russia’s human rights commissioner, Yana Lantratova, asserted that the attack was “not a tragic accident” but rather a “vile, deliberate, and inhumane crime” against non-combatants.
“There are no military objectives that could justify the bloodshed of civilians. There are no arguments that can absolve those who issue and execute such criminal orders from responsibility,” she stressed.
Russia’s Investigative Committee has announced that a terrorism case has been opened over the attack on the bus.
Russia was hit by another major Ukrainian drone attack overnight, with 345 UAVs shot down across the country, according to the Defense Ministry. The interceptions took place over Moscow, Leningrad, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, Novgorod, Orel, Pskov, Rostov, Smolensk, Tver, Tula, and Krasnodar regions, as well as over Crimea and the Sea of Azov, the ministry said. … Full article
Iran has strongly rejected accusations by the US secretary of state that Tehran seeks to assassinate American officials, slamming Washington for attempting to portray itself as a victim while concealing own record of war crimes against the Iranian people.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei sharply rebuked allegations by Marco Rubio that Iran is allegedly plotting to assassinate American officials, denouncing the claims as another example of Washington’s efforts to distort reality and deflect attention from its own actions.
The Iranian official said the unfounded allegations reflected a mentality that projects its own conduct onto others.
“Everyone imagines others according to their own creed,” Baghaei wrote in a post on his X account on Wednesday, stressing, “Playing the victim cannot whitewash the savage war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity that you have committed against the Iranian nation.”
Baghaei responded to remarks that Rubio made during a congressional hearing, where the top US diplomat claimed that Iran was seeking to target American officials.
This came as a US-Israeli military coalition, during an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran that began on February 28, assassinated the Leader of the Islamic Revolution along with several senior officials and military commanders, while also killing thousands of people across the country.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that missile and drone strikes targeted the United States Fifth Fleet headquarters and other American military positions in the Gulf following renewed US attacks on Iranian territory and infrastructure.
The IRGC said that the operation came after a US strike damaged an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz and another attack hit a telecommunications tower south of Qeshm Island.
In response to the US attacks, the IRGC Aerospace Force and the IRGC Navy targeted multiple enemy assets across the Gulf. … Full article

The credit agency Moody’s has calculated that the war against Iran has cost each American household $750.
Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi said that in under three months of war, the cost of the war against Iran has already offset the additional tax breaks Americans received under President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. “As of May 16th, the bigger tax refunds Americans have received this year no longer cover the higher costs of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel caused by the war,” he wrote on X.
While the Pentagon has claimed the cost of the war is around $25 billion, Moody’s calculates the costs to Americans are $750 per household or $100 billion in total.
Zandi said the economic impact will primarily hit middle- and lower-class Americans, who will be forced to change their spending habits. “With the saving rate about as low as it ever goes, unless the war ends soon and energy prices come down, they will have little choice but to rein in their spending, weighing further on the already sagging economy,” he explained.
Israel and the US attacked Iran amid negotiations earlier this year. While initially predicting a quick victory, Trump has been unable to force Iran to comply with his demands. Additionally, Tehran has attacked oil assets in Gulf Arab states and shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
The President has claimed that he is willing to let the war drag on and is not concerned about Americans’ financial situation.

A day after Iran said that it had broken off talks with the US over Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon, President Donald Trump claimed that negotiations were continuing.
“Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the U.S.A., stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday. “The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today.”
He continues, “Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, ‘It’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You’ve been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!’”
His post followed Iranian media reporting that Terhan had called off talks with the US. “Due to the continuation of the Zionist regime’s actions in Lebanon and given that Lebanon was one of the preconditions of the ceasefire and that this ceasefire has now been violated on all fronts,” Iran’s semiofficial Tasmin news agency reported Monday. “The Iranian negotiating team will suspend ‘talks and the exchange of texts through mediators.’”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X that the ceasefire must apply to all fronts of the war and that “the US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.”
The President initially said that he was unconcerned about talks ending. Trump said that he was unconcerned if Iran breaks off talks and will wait out Tehran. “I think we’ve been talking too much if you want to know the truth. I think going silent would be very good, and that could be that could be for a long time,” the President told Garrett Haake. “It doesn’t mean we’re going to go and start dropping bombs all over there. We’ll just go silent. We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel.”
In April, the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. That truce was intended to cover all warring parties, including Lebanon. However, after agreeing to the ceasefire, Washington and Tel Aviv claimed that it did not cover Israeli military operations in Lebanon. … Full article

Israeli airstrikes killed at least eight people in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, including a father and his two children, as the Tel Aviv regime continued its attacks on the country.
The deadly strikes came hours after US President Donald Trump claimed that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop “all shooting.”
However, fighting showed little sign of easing, with Israeli forces carrying out fresh attacks across southern Lebanon and Hezbollah responding by retaliatory rocket and drone attacks against Israeli military positions and settlements in the occupied territories.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone strike hit a vehicle on the road linking Marjayoun and Nabatiyeh, killing a Lebanese dentist, James Karam and his two children.
In a separate attack, two Lebanese soldiers were wounded when an Israeli drone targeted an area near Nabatiyeh, the Lebanese army said. … Full article

At least four people have been killed and 127 others wounded after an Israeli airstrike struck the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said 39 hospital staff members were among the injured, including “four doctors, 27 nurses and eight administrative employees.”
Four of the wounded healthcare workers remain in critical condition and are receiving treatment in intensive care units, it added.
The ministry said the attack on Monday evening caused extensive damage to the hospital, affecting multiple departments and the facility’s parking area.
The inpatient ward, radiology department and intensive care unit were among the areas severely damaged, it said, adding that one wall of an operating room was blown open, forcing medical staff to urgently transfer several intensive care patients to safer areas within the hospital.
The death toll could rise further, the ministry warned, as recovery teams continue to search through the rubble. … Full article

Three Palestinian children from the village of Abwein, northwest of Ramallah, were injured on Monday when illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked their father’s vehicle near the Shilo colony on the road linking Ramallah and Nablus.
A 14‑year‑old child sustained moderate head injuries after being struck with a stone, while his two siblings, aged six and two, suffered minor wounds from shattered glass, medical sources said.
In Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank, colonizers installed several caravans and metal structures on privately owned Palestinian land that had been bulldozed and stripped of its olive trees in recent months.
Local sources said the structures were placed in the Shuab area, near the home of the Abu Awad family, as part of ongoing efforts to impose new colonial facts on the ground and expand surrounding colonial outposts. … Full article

At least three Palestinians have been killed and several others injured in a series of separate Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip, amid continued violations of a fragile ceasefire by the occupying entity.
Medical sources said on Tuesday that at least one person was killed and several others wounded when an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle on Salah al-Din Street, east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Another Palestinian was killed after being shot in the head by Israeli forces north of Khan Yunis in the southern part of the blockaded territory.
Separately, a source at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said a Palestinian was killed, and five others were injured at dawn when an Israeli drone struck a gathering of civilians in the Bani Abu Salah area of central Gaza.
Artillery shelling and other Israeli attacks were also reported in the southern areas of Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military continued demolishing buildings and facilities in areas under its control in northern and southern Gaza.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently instructed the military to expand its occupation of Gaza to 70 percent of the territory after a cabinet minister confirmed the regime’s plan for the “ethnic cleansing” of the strip.
Netanyahu had earlier acknowledged reports that Israeli forces currently occupy 60 percent of Gaza, significantly more than the 53 percent permitted under the terms of last year’s ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Ministers in Netanyahu’s cabinet have stated that they seek to fully occupy Gaza and expel its nearly two million Palestinian residents to pave the way for Israeli settlements in the territory. Last week, Israel’s minister of military affairs, Israel Katz, said he remains committed to the large-scale forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.

… The so-called justification for this killing spree is to win, or at least make headway in, the war on drugs. But, it turns out the evidence indicates that the violence and destruction has contributed nothing to impeding the flow of verboten drugs in America.
Longtime drug war chronicler Jacob Sullum provided in a Friday Reason article an assessment of the failure of this new tactic to achieve even a modest US government gain in its war on drugs. Concluded Sullum in his article, “nearly nine months after Trump launched his new, deadlier version of the war on drugs, there is no evidence that it is more effective than the traditional tactics he derides as insufficiently homicidal.” This conclusion, Sullum detailed, is supported by outcomes including increased cocaine seizures at the border, stability in street prices of cocaine and the amount of adulterants added to cocaine, and no drop in cocaine being detected in drug fatalities. … Full article

Venezuela’s public healthcare system is facing mounting pressure as Cuban medical personnel continue to leave the country, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, raising concerns about the future of a healthcare partnership that has for decades been a cornerstone of relations between Caracas and Havana.
According to the report, Cuban doctors, specialists, and other healthcare workers have been departing medical facilities across Venezuela amid growing US efforts to curtail Cuba’s overseas medical missions, which Washington argues generate significant revenue for the Cuban government.
The developments are reportedly being felt acutely in public healthcare centers serving low-income communities. At the Salvador Allende medical center in eastern Caracas, patients seeking specialized treatment have increasingly found services unavailable following the departure of Cuban staff members, including pediatricians, gynecologists, ophthalmologists, and physiotherapists.
“Expelling Cuban doctors will not lead to political change in Cuba, but it will set back healthcare in Venezuela,” said Miguel Tinker Salas, a historian at Pomona College in California. “The populations that depended on those services will bear the brunt.”
The healthcare mission has long been one of Cuba’s largest international programs. By the end of last year, approximately 13,000 Cuban health workers were operating in Venezuela, providing services ranging from primary care and dental treatment to eye surgeries and diabetes management, including in remote and Indigenous communities where access to healthcare remains limited. … Full article

The murder of 21 Russian students at a college dormitory on May 22 has yet to be fully understood in terms of the exact involvement of NATO states.
The university building in Starobelsk, Lugansk, was attacked in the early hours of the morning with 16 drones in three consecutive waves of assault. The targeting of the dormitory was deliberate. There were no Russian military installations in the vicinity.
NATO’s involvement in this act of terrorism is on multiple levels. Ukraine’s use of unmanned aerial vehicles has ramped up in recent months, in line with the massive financial support provided by the European Union in the form of a €90 billion loan, most of which is dedicated to boosting Ukraine’s drone arsenal, with European manufacturing companies working in partnership. … continue
The US is weighing whether to expand NATO’s nuclear-sharing framework by inviting more alliance members to host American dual-capable aircraft—warplanes configured to deliver nukes, reports the Financial Times.
At present, the arrangement includes Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkiye and the UK.
Under its terms, the US retains full custody of the nuclear warheads, which are stored at select European bases, while allied air forces train for nuclear deterrence missions using aircraft such as the F-35, F-15, and Tornado.
The discussions are reportedly driven in part by a need to reassure European allies of Washington’s enduring commitment to NATO’s nuclear deterrent—even as the US scales back some conventional troop deployments on the continent and pushes allies to shoulder more defense responsibility.
The talks remain at an early, highly confidential stage, with no imminent decisions anticipated.
Nevertheless, nations on NATO’s eastern flank—notably Poland and several of Russia’s neighbors—have already signaled interest in a possible expansion of the nuclear-sharing deal.
Russia has repeatedly cautioned that any deployment of nuclear-capable assets close to its borders would be seen as a destabilizing factor, and a direct threat to its national security.

Ukraine launched explosive-laden drones towards Finland, triggering an alert that affected 1.8 million people, Helsingin Sanomat reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The incident took place on May 15 and set off a major security alert in the southern Finnish region of Uusimaa, which includes the country’s capital, Helsinki. The warning halted air traffic at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and triggered a lockdown order by the authorities.
Finnish officials did not initially disclose details of the alert, stating only that the drones could be approaching from Russia, creating the impression that the threat was linked to Moscow.
According to HS, however, the emergency measures were prompted by a warning from Ukraine, which said it had accidentally sent drones carrying explosives toward Finland.
The Finnish Defense Forces later said no violation of Finnish airspace had been detected. HS reported that it remains unclear why the drones never entered the country, noting that Russian air defenses may have shot them down en route.
The report has prompted criticism from Finnish lawmakers. Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee said they were not told that the warning came from Ukraine, which was essential information that should have been shared immediately. … continue

MOSCOW – Russia is concerned about Ukraine’s mounting terrorist activity in the Black Sea, which is raising risks for civilian shipping, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Tuesday.
“We are concerned about the noticeable escalation of terrorist activity in the Black Sea by Ukraine, which leads to a deterioration of conditions and an increase in risks to civilian shipping,” Zakharova said in a statement.
On May 29, the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced that a drone had attacked a Turkish-owned vessel in the Black Sea, injuring two people. Ankara said it had conveyed its concern to all parties about a possible escalation in the region.
Ukraine’s military stages bandit raids on Black Sea ships with drones and unmanned boats — then pins the attacks on Russia, the spokeswoman said.
“These attacks on civilian commercial vessels have once again shown that the Kiev junta has complete disregard for the principles and norms of international law — preferring instead to deny any involvement in the incidents,” Zakharova said. … continue

… According to Haaretz newspaper, the threats to attack Beirut were “hollow” – even before the US intervention.
Trump made a statement late on Monday after the forced displacement orders were issued for all of Beirut’s southern suburb. The president claimed a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was reached.
In an attempt to declare there will be no strikes on Beirut, Trump said Israeli “troops” were no longer on their way to Beirut.
The Israeli army has been facing fierce resistance in south Lebanon and was, in fact, never on its way to Beirut.
The US president’s announcement came as the Islamic Republic of Iran threatened to strike Israel and collapse negotiations with Washington.
Tehran also issued formal evacuation orders to northern Israeli settlements and urged them to flee immediately in the event that Beirut was bombed. … Full article

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy has struck the giant cargo ship MSC Sariska, affiliated with the American‑Zionist enemy, with a cruise missile in a reciprocal operation after a US attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Sea of Oman.
The IRGC Navy’s public relations department announced on Tuesday that the strike was a direct response to the “aggressive and treacherous attack” by the US military on the Iranian bulk carrier Lian Star.
“In response to the aggressive attack by the terrorist and child‑killing US army on the Iranian vessel Lian Star in the Sea of Oman, the IRGC Navy conducted a reciprocal operation and struck the MSC Sariska with a cruise missile,” the statement said, as carried by Sepah News.
The MSC Sariska, a Panamanian‑flagged vessel, was targeted near Iraqi waters and sustained a major explosion.
The IRGC Navy warned that any further aggression by the US army in the region will be met with a decisive response. … continue
