Moscow has demanded the Czech Republic immediately release Metropolitan Bishop Hilarion detained in the country, branding the incident a “fabricated persecution” of the senior Russian Christian Orthodox hierarch.
The bishop was detained by Czech police on Sunday while traveling in a car from his parish church of Saint Peter and Paul in the resort town of Karlovy Vary. According to Hilarion’s press service, the law enforcement did not provide any solid reasoning behind the traffic stop, proceeding to search the car instead. The law enforcement recovered “four small containers with white substance” from the car’s trunk, believed to be illicit drugs.
“I have never had any connection to the illegal drug trade. Since I’m a clergyman, the very suggestion of such a thing is utterly false. I insist on a full, independent, and procedurally impeccable investigation of what happened,” the bishop said in a statement.
According to the hierarch’s legal team, his car was searched without proper procedure, including witnesses and video recording. The law enforcement officers also allegedly went straight for its trunk and did not search the personal belongings of Hilarion and his driver. … continue

MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law authorizing armed forces to protect Russians arrested by foreign courts without Russia’s involvement, unless based on a Russian treaty or UN Security Council resolution, according to a document published on Monday.
The Russian armed forces may, within the limits of their powers, be involved in tasks to protect Russian citizens who are arrested, detained, or prosecuted in a criminal or other manner based on decisions of courts of foreign states authorized in the field of criminal proceedings by other foreign states without the participation of Russia, the document read.

MOSCOW – Western media have twisted the attack on a college in Starobelsk in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) to present Russia’s retaliatory strikes as aggression, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
“Look at how this tragedy is presented in the Western media. It’s completely the opposite. Literally everything is twisted. Turned upside down. It’s presented as if this wasn’t a school, but rather a military command post. That it wasn’t children there, but some kind of military commanders. That it was practically a warehouse and had nothing to do with the school,” Zakharova said at a round table during the International Security Forum.
The Russian diplomat then explained why Western mainstream outlets misrepresented the situation.
“Why did they completely distort the situation in the Western mainstream media with the current tragedy in Starobelsk? Why did they need to do this? It was to present Russia’s retaliatory strikes against decision-making centers in Ukraine, from which those very same killer missiles and killer drones were launched against civilian targets in our country; to present Russia’s retaliatory strikes not as retaliatory, but as aggressively offensive,” Zakharova said.

Ten employees from the Starobelsk Professional College in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic have been added to the ‘kill list’ run by Ukraine’s state-linked Mirotvorets website, just days after a dormitory at the facility was targeted by Kiev in a drone strike that killed 21 students.
According to data from the website, the recent entries include seven women and three men, among them deputy directors and teachers at the college. The database accuses them of publicly supporting Russia, attempting to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and spreading propaganda among minors.
The Mirotvorets database, which has been linked to the Ukrainian security services, is notorious for publishing the addresses and personal details of anyone critical of the Kiev regime, including journalists, athletes, artists, and politicians, some of whom have subsequently been assassinated. … Full article

The White House announced:
“The Trump Administration’s doctrine of peace through strength has strengthened alliances and established America as an indispensable force for global stability.
As these achievements mount up, we have unequivocally entered a Golden Age of American Greatness, which promises even greater opportunities and security for the future”.
Adhering to the “peace through strength” doctrine, the Trump Administration increased US military spending from $860 billion in the 2025 financial year to $1.45 trillion in the 2027 financial year. This figure is further increased by $488 billion allocated to the Department of Veterans Affairs and other military appropriations, bringing the US’s annual military spending to over $2 trillion — more than a quarter of the Federal Government’s total public expenditure. Official budgets vastly underestimate the true cost of wars: the Pentagon claims that the war against Iran has so far cost $29 billion, but Forbes magazine estimates the cost at nearly $200 billion. … continue

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has asserted opposition to his country’s normalizing relations with the Israeli regime after US President Donald Trump called on regional states to enter rapprochement deals with Tel Aviv.
Speaking to Pakistani broadcaster Samaa TV on Monday, Asif said Pakistan should not support agreements that conflict with the country’s “fundamental ideologies.”
Asif made the remarks after being asked about the possibility of Pakistan’s joining the so-called Abraham Accords – a set of Washington-facilitated détentes that have normalized relations between some regional countries and Tel Aviv – following reported pressure from Trump.
Questioning engagement with the regime, the Pakistani defense minister added, “How will you sit down with those people whose word cannot be trusted even for a single day?”
He also reiterated Islamabad’s longstanding position regarding the regime. “We have a very clear stance that this is not acceptable to us,” Asif said. … continue

The pattern of media reports – based on White House leaks – that an agreement with Iran is almost completed has become predictable. Where once the markets fluctuated wildly (and some insiders made huge profits with the information), each time we hear that the deal is almost complete only to see it fall through, the markets barely move.
It is dangerous to have a US Administration that no one in the US or the rest of the world believes. When White House “sources” claim a deal is in sight only to have President Trump post another AI graphic of the US military – or himself – firing missiles at Iran, the futility of engaging with the United States becomes reinforced to the rest of the world.
This is not projecting strength. It is signaling moral and ethical bankruptcy. And it is dangerous. In a world where no other country sees value in negotiating to end disputes with the US government, the only solution is to prepare to use force against it. … continue

Western spy agencies are intending to use Syrian militants as a proxy force against Iran, Russian Federal Security Service chief Aleksandr Bortnikov has said.
The jihadists, who fought for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) and other terrorist groups, are being moved from their detention facilities in Syria to special camps in Iraq, Bortnikov said during a meeting of the security chiefs from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Russia’s Irkutsk Region on Tuesday.
“The history of Islamic State began with similar Iraqi prison complexes under the protection of Western coalition intelligence agencies,” he stressed. … continue

Americans have been fed a comforting fairy tale about Islamic terrorism. Radical jihadists attack the West simply because they despise freedom, democracy, and the American way of life. This narrative flatters domestic audiences while conveniently obscuring a far more troubling reality. For decades, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel have armed, financed, tolerated, and tapped into Sunni Islamist extremists as geopolitical tools to destabilize rivals. The evidence spans multiple theaters and rests on declassified documents, congressional investigations, and credible investigative journalism. … continue

According to Jewish mythology, Jews are the most persecuted people on Earth. Rabbis and Jewish historiographers alike speak of unending waves of expulsions, pogroms, and genocides afflicting God’s self-styled chosen people in virtually every part of the world they have lived, and perhaps even a few where they haven’t. As Congressman Randy Fine endlessly repeats, “Jews have been kicked out of every country where we’ve ever lived, and it’s never been our own fault.”
Given their literally unbelievable history of gratuitous persecution, and their claims that horrific anti-Jewish acts are happening with increasing frequency around the world and in the United States, I expected to be stunned and horrified by the Anti-Defamation League’s list of 6,274 antisemitic incidents of 2025. But when I finally summoned up the courage to examine their terrifying list of outrages, I was indeed shocked—not by the horror of thousands of disgusting and depraved crimes against poor innocent Jews, but by the mind-bending banality of the vast majority of alleged “antisemitic incidents.”
What’s more, it seems that the few genuinely serious “incidents” were not even antisemitic. For example, on New Year’s Day of 2025, 17 out of the 18 reported “antisemitic incidents” were nothingburgers—but one was truly horrific: A mentally unstable Black American veteran drove his pickup truck onto a crowded sidewalk in New Orleans, fired shots, and wound up killing fourteen people before being shot dead by police.
But there is no evidence that anti-Jewish prejudice played any role in the crime. The perpetrator never seems to have said anything about Jews. None of the victims were Jewish, but instead were Blacks, Whites, British, Muslim, or Hispanic. … continue

Despite the ceasefire and tentative progress toward a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, the Persian Gulf has remained perilously volatile. In the past 24 hours alone, several rounds of fire have been exchanged between US and Iranian forces in the region. Though both sides appear to view the incidents — which may have killed as many as four IRGC naval personnel — as falling below the threshold that would shatter the ceasefire altogether, the clashes underscore the fragility of the current arrangement and the ever-present danger of renewed escalation.
Yet in recent days, it was not the Persian Gulf that emerged as the greatest threat to the agreement. It was Israel’s potential refusal to fully adhere to the regional ceasefire and halt its bombardment of Lebanon. That danger remains acute.
Iran has three principal reasons for insisting that any ceasefire be genuinely regional in scope — one that includes not only the United States and Iran, but also Israel and Lebanon. … continue

Israeli forces shot a Palestinian child on Sunday night, after storming the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank.
Media sources reported that occupation forces invaded the town of Beit Fajjar, on Sunday night, and opened fire with live ammunition toward citizens.
Soldiers shot a 15-year-old Palestinian child in the leg with live rounds; he was transported to the hospital for treatment.
It is important to mention that occupation forces shot two children in the town during a military incursion the previous evening.
Israeli forces abducted an elderly Palestinian and a number of children, on Sunday, after storming several regions of the occupied West Bank.
In related news, occupation forces ordered Palestinian citizens to stop construction on their commercial shops in the village of Kifl Hares, northwest of Salfit in the central West Bank.
Media sources reported that Israeli soldiers stormed the village of Kifl Hares on Sunday evening, and handed the citizen Radwan Daoud notices to stop work on five shops and facilities.
Earlier on Sunday, occupation forces demolished the home of the citizen Abdullah Abdul‑Ghani Thabet, in the town of Shuqba, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank.

Israel has killed six Palestinians and injured eight others in strikes across the Gaza Strip as ceasefire violations continue unabated, and families are enduring severe shortages and widespread destruction.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, hospitals in the war-ravaged coastal territory received six bodies over the past 24 hours, whilst eight people were admitted to medical facilities to receive treatment.
The toll included five Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks, and another victim who later succumbed to earlier injuries.
The ministry said additional victims remain trapped beneath rubble of destroyed buildings, and ambulance and civil defense teams have not yet been able to access them.
The latest fatalities bring the number of Palestinians killed since the declaration of the ceasefire on October 11, 2025 to at least 904, alongside more than 2,710 injuries. … Full article

The spider’s web theory lives on

Twenty-six years on from the liberation of South Lebanon, the message has become clear: as long as the Israeli regime remains, peace will never be possible. This year’s Liberation Day anniversary will be observed by a population that is now fighting another struggle against occupation, one that will have implications beyond the freeing of Lebanese lands alone.
On May 25, 2000, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from most of the Lebanese lands they had occupied illegally in 1982; a move that came following nearly two decades of brutal oppression and was triggered as a result of the fierce resistance waged by the local population. For the Arab World, and specifically for the Palestinian cause for national liberation, that day became a signal that resistance does work.
A day later, former Hezbollah Secretary General, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, delivered his famous ‘Spider’s Web’ speech from a small football stadium in Bint Jbeil, arguing that the Lebanese model of armed resistance is a blueprint for the Palestinian people. This address has haunted the Israeli senior leadership ever since. … continue

At least six people have been killed in the latest round of Israeli airstrikes against multiple locations in southern Lebanon, as the Tel Aviv regime’s army issued evacuation orders directed at the local population amid ongoing military offensives.
According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), two young men who were riding a motorcycle were killed on Sunday, when an Israeli air raid struck them in the town of al-Namiriya.
Another young man in the town of al-Duweir was killed while he was on a motorcycle.
In the town of Abba, a Syrian national riding a motorcycle was killed in an Israeli strike.
One man was killed in another attack in Jebchit.
A paramedic was killed by a drone strike while he was inspecting the site of a recent airstrike in Arab Salim.
A person was also killed in an Israeli aerial assault against Bazouriyeh town in the Tyre district.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military spokesperson issued 16 evacuation orders in southern Lebanon.
Local sources said Israeli forces were striking before and after the order was given.
Rescue teams also managed to recover three bodies from the rubble of a house that was targeted by Israeli warplanes in the town of Srifa, in southern Lebanon’s Tyre district, according to the NNA.

Speaking to Iranian state television, Azizi said the measures include ending the war on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon, lifting the maritime blockade, guaranteeing the passage of non-military vessels through the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian supervision, suspending oil sanctions for 30 to 60 days, and releasing frozen Iranian assets. … continue

US fighter jets have struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) speedboats as explosions were heard near the port of Bandar Abbas.
The attack occurred on Monday as US and Iranian negotiators arrived in Qatar in hopes of advancing stalled talks.
According to SNN, the attack on the Iranian vessels took place south of Larak Island, in the narrowest section of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains under a dual US-Iranian blockade. At least three Iranian sailors were killed, SNN said.
Media outlets also reported a series of explosions in Bandar Abbas, home to an Iranian naval base.
Al Jazeera journalist Ali Hashem cited an Iranian official as saying that the IRGC targeted an unidentified vessel after US jets struck IRGC boats. The source added that gunfire was heard near Bandar Abbas.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) later said in a statement that US forces had “conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces.” The statement added that the targets included missile sites and “Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines.”
Earlier, the US military warned that it would intervene in response to Iranian attacks on ships transiting the strait.
Iran closed the vital shipping lane to vessels from “hostile countries” in response to the US and Israeli airstrikes launched on February 28. Last month, the US announced a blockade of Iranian ports.
The fragile truce reached between the US and Iran on April 8 has largely held, even as President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened to resume the bombing campaign unless Iran agreed to his demands.

The United States proved its utter disregard for human life and international law by carrying out a deliberate and barbaric missile strike on a civilian sports hall in the city of Lamerd in Fars Province during the 40-day war against Iran, martyring 24 innocent Iranians and injuring over 130 others.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei revealed the harrowing details of this American war crime after holding a meeting with Dr. Mousa Mousavi, the Member of Parliament for Mehr and Lamerd.
The assault took place on the afternoon of Saturday, February 28, the very same day US Tomahawk missiles massacred 168 schoolchildren at the Shajareh Tayyibeh School in Minab.
According to the briefing, American forces fired Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) at a residential neighborhood in Lamerd, directly hitting a sports hall filled with civilians, including teenage volleyball players, women, men, and a helpless two-year-old girl.
The “airburst” warheads exploded in mid-air, raining down a lethal storm of 180,000 high-velocity tungsten pellets that tore through everything in their path with ruthless efficiency.
There is no longer any doubt that this was not an accident, not “collateral damage,” but a premeditated decision by the US regime to test its new weapon system on Iranian civilians in a residential area.
Such a cold-blooded act constitutes a clear and despicable war crime, Baghaei stated firmly.
He added that those who ordered and executed this massacre must be brought before competent courts of law and held fully accountable for their crimes against humanity. … Full article

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency has dismissed Western media reports claiming that Tehran has agreed to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile out of the country as part of a proposed nuclear deal, describing the allegations as part of American “psychological warfare” against Iran.
Tasnim reported that what has been circulated in the media regarding Iran’s readiness to remove enriched uranium from the country is “untrue,” and falls within the framework of “American psychological warfare against Iran.” The agency added that the text of the memorandum of understanding does not contain any statement indicating Iran’s readiness to transfer nuclear materials out of the country, and that the memorandum “did not include any commitment regarding any nuclear action.”
Earlier, The New York Times had quoted US officials claiming that “Iran agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium” as part of the proposed agreement announced by President Donald Trump. Tasnim also denied reports that “US officials said Iran will not receive any facilities for the release of frozen funds unless it begins transferring its enriched uranium reserves.” … continue

Speaking with reporters on May 21, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez was on her way to New Delhi to discuss energy issues, and that he would be in India as well.
“This is an important trip, I’m glad we’re able to do it,” Rubio chirped after explaining the trio of nations would discuss how to increase Venezuelan oil sales to India.
His statement — and his announcement of Rodriguez’s trip before she had — perfectly illustrated Washington’s newfound dynamic with the Venezuelan government. Following over twenty years of hostile relations with Venezuela’s socialist-oriented leadership, the US Secretary of State was apparently so intimately involved with day to day affairs in Caracas that he was claiming responsibility for Rodriguez’s international itinerary.
In fact, according to an insider who enjoys close contacts within both the Venezuelan and US governments, Rubio’s influence over Rodriguez is said to be traced to one “gatekeeper”: former Trump Latin America envoy Mauricio Claver-Carone. “Mauricio [Claver-Carone] is picking who can operate and Delcy [Rodriguez] is taking instructions,” the source told The Grayzone.
A former senior US official with access to leadership in both Caracas and Washington offered the same assessment, remarking to The Grayzone, “Mauricio’s calling the shots on private sector economic positions, and if anyone wants in, they have to go to him.” … continue

Pakistan now receives up to 80% of its military imports from China — a striking reversal of the Cold War era, when the United States served as Islamabad’s primary arms supplier.
How and why did this happen? The key reason was US sanctions, retired Pakistan Air Force Captain Sultan M. Hali told Sputnik.
During Pakistan’s conflicts with India in 1965 and 1971, the United States imposed sanctions on both sides — but Pakistan was more affected since it relied heavily on Western equipment. China stepped in to help at that critical moment.
In the post-Cold War period, repeated US sanctions again disrupted Pakistan’s access to critical hardware.
Beijing, by contrast, offered technology transfer — a step Western suppliers rarely take, and when they do, it comes with a web of restrictive conditions.
Pakistan has now inducted a wide spectrum of Chinese systems, including fighter jets, air defense systems, early warning aircraft, frigates, and submarines.

Former European Council president Charles Michel warned Friday that perceived double standards in foreign policy are undermining the European Union’s credibility, cautioning against what he described as a “temptation to appease” the US and Israel.
Speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum in Athens, Michel said inconsistencies in applying EU principles risk weakening the bloc’s authority on the global stage.
“Double standards are a puzzle that undermine the European credibility and authority. And sometimes, let’s be honest, I have the impression that there’s a temptation to appease United States, to appease Israel, and to be not far from it arrogant with the rest of the world,” he said.

TEHRAN – The issues of managing the Strait of Hormuz are not included in the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, they will be resolved by the coastal countries, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday.
“Concerning the Strait of Hormuz in the memorandum, we are not discussing the details of the agreement. The question on how the strait will be managed is being decided by the coastal countries,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said.
Other Statements:
- Unilateral European action against Iran is impossible
- Many of the international community’s troubles could have been avoided had the European Union adopted a responsible stance
- If the EU had respected international law and the UN Charter, the current standoff over the Strait of Hormuz might not have erupted, and the US and Israel should be condemned
- The Strait of Hormuz remained open prior to the attack on Iran that triggered the present crisis
- Negotiations are focused on ending the war, and currently the nuclear issue is not under discussion

US President Donald Trump has told several Arab and Muslim leaders that he expects them to establish formal relations with Israel in exchange for a ceasefire deal with Iran to end the war, according to American officials.
Axios, citing the officials, said that Trump made the demand during a phone conversation on Saturday with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain.
According to the same sources, all eight leaders expressed support for the potential agreement with Tehran during the call.
“We are with you on this deal,” one official was quoted as telling Trump, according to the report.
Another official familiar with the conversation said the US president indicated that he would next speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and hoped to bring him into a joint call with the same group of Arab and Muslim leaders in the future.
Trump also pushed those countries that have not yet joined the so-called Abraham Accords – a series of 2020 US-brokered normalization deals with Israel signed under the Trump administration – to do so and establish formal ties with the Tel Aviv regime, the officials added.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan currently maintain no official diplomatic relations with Israel.

In one of its most brazen disinformation efforts in years, the British tabloid The Daily Mail has published a fake news story claiming that an Israeli woman who was permitted to leave by Hamas militants only avoided being sexually assaulted by showing her captors her scar.
According to the woman in question, May Hayat, she had been taken prisoner by “terrorists” at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, when she began to detect “an energy and look in their eyes that every woman knows what’s going to happen next.”
However, she insists the men declined to rape her because Muslims subscribe to a belief system under which “a scar like [hers] means a strong woman,” and “if something happened to her because of them, the 72 virgins they are promised will not come looking for them in heaven.”
This claim contradicts all known Islamic jurisprudence, including the mainstream Sunni doctrine espoused by Hamas – which forbids fighters (and men more generally) from carrying out sexual violence against women, and which does not in any way single out women with scars for special treatment.
But The Daily Mail article, entitled “October 7 survivor reveals how a childhood scar saved her from Hamas terrorists,” fully endorses Hayat’s extraordinarily suspicious claim. Hayat, the outlet states credulously, was later “told that such scars have a spiritual significance in the eyes of the terrorists.” … continue

A British rights group, Right to Protest, has issued a press statement announcing that Dr Ranjeet Brar, a vascular surgeon, is bringing a judicial review to challenge the misuse of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism by public bodies – notable among them is King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
On 6th April 2026, Dr Ranjeet Brar, was suspended by the Trust following his speech at a memorial for the 186 children killed in a school strike in Minab, Iran. In that speech, he criticised Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the policies of the Israeli, US and British governments.
Shortly after, Dr Ranjeet Brar was suspended from work. Dr Brar believes the IHRA definition of antisemitism was used against him to effect his suspension. Dr Brar is one of many who have been penalised for making public statements against Israel.
The Right to Protest said this is not an isolated incident. “Across the NHS, universities, and other public bodies, a non-statutory definition is being weaponised to silence lawful political speech against the State of Israel. Criticism of Israel is being mischaracterised as hate. Hate crime laws are being applied to protect Israel. Healthcare professionals, academics, and citizens who speak critically about Israel or express solidarity with Palestinians face disciplinary threats, censorship, and the destruction of their careers.” … continue

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has reported an increased rate of cargo transit via the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, pointing to improved security in the key waterway under its control arrangement.
The IRGC Navy’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Sunday that a total of 33 ships had passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours.
That marks a nearly 50% increase compared to figures announced earlier this week and a major rise from the numbers reported in the early days of a US-Israeli aggression on Iran in early March, which prompted the IRGC to take control of the strait and impose restrictions on transits.
Iranian state TV also said in a report that ships from China, India, and Pakistan recorded the highest number of passages through the Strait of Hormuz, thanks to their coordination with Iranian authorities.
It added that some 240 ships are waiting for clearance from Iran to pass the strait.
The IRGC Navy said that ships that were allowed through the strait over the past 24 hours included oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels, adding that all of them had been cleared to pass after obtaining the required permits from the force under its security arrangements for the waterway. … Full article

Ukraine’s General Staff is pushing a false claim – that its May 22 strike on a high school building and student dormitory in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic actually targeted the headquarters of Russia’s elite Rubikon drone unit. The Ukrainian media is amplifying this lie.
Zelensky’s military – notorious for deliberately targeting civilians – claimed in a statement that it only strikes military infrastructure. But there are no military facilities near the dormitory hit in this attack. The drone strike killed 21 students and injured dozens more.
Russia has provided full access to the site of the attack to foreign journalists and international observers.
Journalists from 19 countries, including NATO and EU members, have arrived in Starobelsk at the invitation of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Russian forces launched a “massive strike” overnight against military targets in Ukraine, using intermediate-range hypersonic Oreshnik system and Iskander ballistic missiles, Kinzhal and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, air-, sea- and ground-launched cruise missiles, as well as attack drones.
The strike came after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to “submit proposals” for a response to a Ukrainian drone attack on a teacher training college dormitory in the Lugansk People’s Republic, which left 21 people dead and 42 injured, mostly teenage girls.
The bombardment targeted the Ukrainian military’s command and control facilities, air bases, and the country’s defense industry enterprises, the ministry said. No strikes had been planned or carried out against civilian infrastructure, it added. … continue

The Nujaba Movement in Iraq is serving as an obstacle to new Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s pledge to impose a state monopoly over weapons in the country, Asharq al-Awsat reported on 23 May.
“The resistance’s weapons are not open to compromise,” stated the Deputy head of the Nujaba movement’s executive council, Hussein al-Saeedi, during a tribal gathering in Basra.
“Stripping the factions of their weapons will leave society exposed to the ongoing threats,” he declared.
Saeedi also described proposals to merge the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) with the federal police and other forces as an “American plot.”
He also argued that the PMU, Federal Police, and Rapid Response Forces derived their strength from remaining independent of what he called “American dominance,” noting that efforts to dissolve the PMF’s ideological identity were “completely rejected.” … Full article

Claims that President Donald Trump exempted “Israel” from commitments under a potential agreement with Iran appear to be baseless, Fars News Agency revealed, based on a review of the final draft text.
Fars reported that The New York Times had alleged “Israel” was granted an exemption from the obligations outlined in the emerging draft MoU with Tehran.
However, an examination of the explicit wording of the prospective agreement shows the opposite. According to the draft text, should the agreement be finalized, the United States and its allies would be bound not to launch any form of aggression against Iran or its allies.
In return, Iran has committed that neither it nor its allies would carry out preemptive military strikes against the United States and its allies.
Consequently, the media outlet’s claim that “Israel’s” regime is exempt from any commitments toward Iran directly contradicts the explicit provisions of the final agreement, rendering the assertion false and unfounded. … continue

The Israeli navy does not ask for your passport before opening fire. They don’t care whether your country’s government has diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv or not. They also don’t care if your country is secretly starting to soften its attitude toward Israel for the sake of a more comfortable relationship.
They capture, detain, injure, even kill – then wait for the world to look away.
The “Global Sumud Flotilla,” a global humanitarian activist movement to send food to Gaza by sea, has proven one thing indisputably: any country that sends its citizens on humanitarian missions to Gaza must accept insults from Israel.
South Korea, Greece, France, Brazil, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden all have good relations with Israel. But their citizens are still detained by Israel in international waters.
Similar missions have been carried out for over a decade, and they always end the same way: activists are arrested or even killed. In the 2010 Mavi Marmara tragedy, for instance, ten Turkish activists were killed by regime forces, yet no meaningful accountability ever followed.
The pattern is very clear. Israel operates on the assumption that the world will condemn and then forget. And so far, that assumption has proven to be true, at least until recently. … continue

Tehran and Washington are in the final stages of drafting a framework agreement through Pakistani mediation aimed at ending the ongoing war and establishing de-escalation arrangements, sources told Al Mayadeen.
According to the sources, the proposed arrangement is not a final agreement but rather a memorandum of understanding designed to outline immediate political, military, and maritime steps following months of regional escalation.
The sources added that the memorandum does not include any clause related to Iran’s nuclear file, which is expected to be addressed in a separate track after the framework is signed.
Ending the US blockade, release of frozen assets
The understanding reportedly focuses on ending the war, implementing de-escalation measures, and facilitating maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint affected by months of tension. Sources told Al Mayadeen that the memorandum includes the withdrawal of the US fleet from areas surrounding Iran and the end of the American naval blockade imposed during the war.
It also includes the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, estimated at around $12 billion, alongside a 30-day period to reach a separate nuclear agreement after the signing of the framework. … Full article

… In essence, this agreement restores the situation to where it was always supposed to be following the announcement of the original ceasefire. From the outset, the ceasefire was intended to be regional in scope and to include Lebanon. There was never supposed to be a “blockade of the blockade” — an absurd scheme concocted by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies that only served to undermine America’s strategic position.
Nor was commercial traffic through the Strait meant to remain disrupted. … Read full article

An informed source close to Iran’s negotiating team has identified three fundamental unresolved issues with the United States, stating that unless these matters are settled, negotiations will not proceed, while also revealing that US officials have privately urged Tehran to disregard Trump’s public statements as domestic posturing.
Speaking to Iran’s Fars news agency, the source said that while American negotiators have effectively retreated from their initial approach based on threats and inducements, having recognised that Iran will not submit to the logic of force, three core disagreements remain. The source noted that Washington has come to understand that Tehran cannot be pressured into submission, yet significant gaps persist.
“If these issues are not resolved, negotiations will not take place,” the source warned.

A Palestinian bus driver from occupied Jerusalem was assaulted late Thursday night by a group of Israelis at the central bus station in Rishon LeZion, south of Tel Aviv.
The driver, Emad al‑Khatib, said he had just finished his shift and entered the drivers’ facilities before heading home, Al-Jazeera said in a report quoting Israel’s daily Haaretz.
As he stepped out of the restroom, several Israelis confronted him and struck him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself inside an ambulance on the way to the hospital, where doctors informed him he had sustained multiple fractures to his nose.
Al‑Khatib said a station security guard intervened and called emergency services, but he expressed little confidence that the attackers would be held accountable.
He attempted to file a complaint with Israeli police, but officers postponed the process, citing an upcoming Jewish holiday. … Full article

The report also states that some detainees were shot with rubber bullets after failing to understand commands issued in Hebrew.
Others remained inside the containers to avoid being targeted by what activists identified as a sniper laser directed from the top of the ship.

The Israeli occupation forces and extremist settler groups carried out raids and assaults last night and on Saturday morning in different areas of the West Bank.
According to local sources in al-Khalil, a horde of settlers assaulted a Palestinian family as they were harvesting their swaths of land in the hamlet of Khirbet Amnizel of Masafer Yatta and stole their agricultural equipment under the protection of Israeli soldiers.
Settlers also stole sheep belonging to Palestinians after storming the Haribat an-Nabi area of Masafer Yatta, while Israeli forces kidnaped a child as he was grazing sheep in the Rajum I’ali area.
In Nablus, several neighborhoods of the city witnessed IOF raids, including the Old City, the commercial market, Faisal Street, al-Ein refugee camp, and the vicinity of Balata and Askar al-Jadeed camps, as well as al-Mai Street.

Eight Palestinians were killed and at least 29 others were injured on Saturday as Israeli occupation forces intensified attacks across the Gaza Strip, in continued violations of the ceasefire agreement announced on October 11, 2025.
Medical teams and humanitarian agencies reported a sharp escalation in drone strikes, artillery fire, and air attacks targeting residential areas, public roads, and refugee camps.
Medical sources confirmed that seven Palestinians, including five police officers, were killed when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a group of civilians in the al‑Tuwam area north of Gaza City. Several others were wounded in the same strike.
In the southern Gaza Strip, four Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone targeted a bicycle on the coastal road in the al‑Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.
Two additional Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli forces east of the al‑Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, while two more were wounded in the Halawa area of Jabalia town in the northern part of the Strip after being targeted by an Israeli drone.
Hospitals in central Gaza reported nine injuries arriving at al‑Awda Hospital following two separate Israeli attacks in the al‑Bureij and an‑Nuseirat refugee camps.
Israeli warplanes also destroyed a home belonging to the Abu Seif family in the Nuseirat refugee camp, causing extensive damage to surrounding homes.
Emergency crews later recovered the body of an unidentified Palestinian from the Salahuddin area, with medical staff indicating the individual likely died within the past three days.
Israeli artillery simultaneously shelled areas northeast of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, and a young man was injured when an Israeli drone dropped an explosive device on an‑Nuzha Street in Jabalia. … Full article

One additional martyr was reported in an Israeli strike on the Tyre–Shabriha area in southern Lebanon, as Israeli attacks continued across multiple regions.
The attacks also hit areas in and around the coastal city of Tyre, including Jal al-Bahr, as well as the towns of Shaqra, Yater, Majdel Selem, and al-Shehabiyah. Artillery shelling was also reported on the town of Yuhmor al-Shaqif.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a top US intelligence official, is stepping down this week from two key posts due to her opposition to US President Donald Trump’s war on Iran, the Washington Post reported on 22 May.
Kennedy, a former undercover CIA officer in East Asia and a daughter-in-law of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), is a close ally of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.
“Five people familiar with the matter cited her disagreement with Trump’s war on Iran as a reason for her resignation,” the Post wrote.
Kennedy currently holds three intelligence posts simultaneously. She is resigning as deputy to Gabbard at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and as associate director at the Office of Management and Budget, where she oversaw classified intelligence budgets.
Kennedy hopes to remain in her role as a member of President Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board, which gives the president independent advice on the legality and effectiveness of US spy programs.
Her resignation follows that of Joe Kent, who served under DNI Gabbard as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent, who is also a former CIA officer, resigned in March, publicly citing his opposition to the war in Iran as the reason for his departure.
Kent has since stated in interviews that the war is being fought on behalf of Israel and that Iran does not pose a threat to the US, as Trump has claimed. […]
The sources speaking with The Post said that Kennedy pushed to declassify historical documents about the assassinations of her father-in-law’s uncle and father, president John F. Kennedy, and senator Robert F. Kennedy, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.
Before working under Gabbard, Kennedy expressed opposition to US intervention abroad, including against US involvement in the war between Ukraine and Russia and any war on Iran. – Full article

Twenty-seven countries have moved to activate emergency World Bank financing mechanisms since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in late February, Reuters reported on 22 May.
Three nations have already received approval for fast-tracked funding, while the other 24 are in the process of completing administrative procedures.
Kenya and Iraq have publicly confirmed they are seeking emergency World Bank assistance, with Nairobi facing surging domestic fuel prices and Baghdad grappling with severely diminished oil revenues due to disruptions in maritime exports.
The 27 nations are drawn from a pool of 101 countries with access to pre-arranged contingent financing, including 54 that are enrolled in the World Bank’s Rapid Response Option, a mechanism that allows sovereign borrowers to immediately redirect up to 10 percent of their undisbursed project balances.
World Bank President Ajay Banga has outlined a three-tier funding structure.
Between $20 billion and $25 billion is available immediately through existing crisis instruments, rising to $60 billion within six months if the bank reorients parts of its broader portfolio, with longer-term structural changes capable of pushing the total to around $100 billion. … Full article

However, it said that such claims against Tehran were made “on orders from Iran’s enemies,” adding that the repetition of “worn-out clichés” merely leads to the discrediting of the legal institutions of the accusing side. … continue

… A lengthy essay published April 29th by Militarnyi, Ukraine’s most prominent military news site, lays bare Kiev’s brutal cloak-and-dagger strategy in Mali and beyond. Headlined Islamist Offensive in Mali: The Prospect of a Syrian Scenario, it details how the successes of Ukraine’s Al Qaeda army in Mali – including Camara’s assassination – are part of a wider military and intelligence operation concerned with “dislodging Russian-Chinese influence from the region” altogether. Damascus being overwhelmed by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in mere days in December 2024 was cited as inspiration. […]
Kiev’s demonic alliance with Al-Qaeda in the Sahel amply demonstrates how her CIA and MI6-assisted military and intelligence capabilities definitively represent a “growing danger”, to average citizens the world over. Kiev is openly plotting to replicate HTS’ violent takeover of Damascus, first in Mali, then in Burkina Faso and Niger. Militarised, extremist-occupied territories are to multiply, while economic warfare impoverishes and enfeebles the military governments, damaging their domestic popularity. Then, they can be brought to heel via forced capitulation, or outright regime change.
It’s been publicly confirmed Kiev’s clandestine assistance was instrumental in toppling Assad. Now, as Militarnyi openly brags, Ukraine’s alliance with Al-Qaeda in Mali is helping drive “a revival of contacts” between AES and the West. This has led to “the first publicly confirmed US diplomatic engagement” with all three Alliance members, in March. Thanks to the CIA’s covert assistance, and her experiences fighting Russia, militarised Ukraine possesses the capabilities to train its proxy crosshairs globally, with devastating effect. A new World War has begun. – Full article

Czech President Petr Pavel has urged NATO to “show its teeth” in response to what he described as Russian “provocations” on the bloc’s eastern flank.
Pavel’s remarks follow a series of Ukrainian drone incursions into NATO airspace in Europe. Since mid-March, long-range UAVs have repeatedly crossed Baltic and Nordic airspace en route to targets in northwestern Russia, particularly oil facilities in Leningrad Region. The incursions prompted fighter jet deployments, and some drones crashed inside NATO states, causing damage.
Moscow has accused European NATO members of quietly allowing Kiev to use their airspace for attacks on Russian territory, but Western officials deny this, instead blaming Russia for the incursions and claiming that Russian electronic warfare systems may have redirected the drones to stray into NATO airspace.
In an interview with The Guardian published Friday, Pavel echoed the accusations, claiming that Russia was intentionally staging “provocations” operating just below the threshold that would trigger NATO’s collective defense clause, Article 5. He also claimed that Russian military officials openly mock the bloc’s indecision during such incidents, and called for “decisive enough, potentially even asymmetric” responses to counter Moscow’s actions. … continue

A total of 16 people were killed in the Ukrainian attack on a college dormitory in Starobelsk in the Lugansk People’s Republic, the Russian Emergencies Ministry said on Saturday.
“A total of 58 people were injured, 16 of whom died,” the statement read.
The death toll increased as bodies of four more victims have been recovered from the rubble at the site of the dormitory collapse, the ministry added.
According to preliminary estimates, five people still remain buried under the rubble, the ministry said.
On Friday, Lugansk People’s Republic head Leonid Pasechnik said that Ukraine had attacked an academic building and dormitory at the Starobelsk Professional College, which is part of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University. There were 86 students and an employee in the building at the time.

Moscow received information that Tokyo had prohibited Japanese journalists from covering developments related to the Ukrainian strike on a college in Starobelsk in the Lugansk People’s Republic, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Zakharova told reporters that Russia had begun organizing a visit of foreign journalists accredited in Moscow to sites affected by Ukrainian strikes on the college in Starobelsk.
“We received an official refusal from the BBC to take part in this trip. They did not even find any excuses; they simply said they would not go – it is their conscious decision. They will not film what is happening there. CNN are on holiday, but we also received information that Tokyo, a relevant official structure, has effectively prohibited Japanese journalists accredited in Russia from participating in any coverage of the situation around Starobelsk,” Zakharova said.
This is representative of so-called Western democracy and freedom of speech, she added.
