Three people have been injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a tourist bus traveling from Belarus to Russia’s Black Sea coast, officials from both countries said on Thursday.
The bus, carrying 19 passengers from the Belarusian capital Minsk to the resort city of Anapa, was hit near the Krasny Kamen border crossing in Russia’s Bryansk Region.
Acting Bryansk Region Governor Egor Kovalchuk said that the “Ukrainian terrorists” used an aircraft-type drone in what he described as a “targeted strike on civilians.”
The two Belarusian drivers suffered shrapnel wounds, while the Belarusian Health Ministry later reported that one passenger had also been injured. … Full article

The Ukrainian multimillionaire sanctioned by Vladimir Zelensky and suspected of links to organized crime had become a growing nuisance to Kiev, former French intelligence agent Claude Moniquet has told Nice-Matin.
Vadim Ermolaev, a Ukrainian-born businessman who now holds Cypriot citizenship, was seriously wounded on Monday evening when an explosive device hidden in a backpack detonated at the entrance to a residential building in Monaco. His partner and 13-year-old son were also injured in the blast.
Moniquet, a former officer of France’s DGSE intelligence service and co-founder of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, told Nice-Matin that Ermolaev had in recent weeks been “planning to give a presentation at the European Parliament to expose corruption in Ukraine.”
“It is possible that this was taken as a provocation,” Moniquet said, while describing it as one of several possible explanations for the bombing, including a potential hit ordered by shady business rivals. French media have also pointed to Ermolaev’s “business conflicts” and the alleged involvement of his eldest son in a major fraudulent call-center scheme as possible lines of inquiry.
Le Figaro reported earlier this week, citing several sources close to the case, that investigators were focusing on the possibility that the attack was orchestrated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
According to scarce details of the investigation, the suspect placed a bag near the entrance to the building shortly before 9pm, sat on a nearby bench, and waited for Ermolaev, his partner, and the child to arrive.
The man then reportedly fled up a nearby street toward the French border, with the explosion triggered moments later. … Full article

A quarter of the oil stored in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) has become inaccessible because of aging infrastructure, caused by large-scale oil withdrawals during the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, an analysis of data from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) by Sputnik shows.
According to the documents reviewed by Sputnik, more than 25% of the reserve’s oil cannot currently be brought to the surface due to equipment failures and deformation of underground storage caverns.
In addition, ongoing equipment failures and maintenance work have reduced the reserve’s actual oil withdrawal and injection capacity to 61% and 56% of their designed capacities, respectively.
The United States now requires approximately $230 million to repair the damaged infrastructure.
According to the documents, the critical deterioration of the SPR infrastructure resulted from the largest emergency oil release in US history, carried out in 2022 in response to the conflict in Ukraine. During that operation, the reserve was reduced by 31% (180 million barrels) over a short period. Emergency repairs to damaged equipment also delayed a broader modernization program for the reserve’s infrastructure.
The situation reportedly worsened in March 2026, when Washington authorized another emergency release of 172 million barrels of oil to stabilize prices amid the conflict with Iran.
As of the week ending June 26, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve had fallen to 325.655 million barrels, its lowest level since May 1983. If the planned releases are carried out in full, the reserve could decline to below 250 million barrels, marking the lowest level since records began in August 1982.

… Over recent years, Prime Minister Edi Rama has cultivated exceptionally close relations with Israel. During his address to the Knesset in January 2026, he praised the depth of Albanian-Israeli relations and issued a broad invitation to Israeli citizens and investors to engage with Albania, including in the fields of business and long-term cooperation.
Taken in isolation, such remarks might have attracted little attention. In the context of the Sazan project, however, they have acquired greater significance.
At a time when Albania continues to lose large numbers of young citizens to emigration, the government’s enthusiasm for attracting wealthy foreign investors and potential new residents has fuelled uncomfortable questions about whose interests are being prioritised. Many protesters view the Sazan development not simply as a business venture but as part of a broader pattern in which foreign capital enjoys greater political access than ordinary Albanians. … Read full article

The numbers are stomach-turning. In less than 10 months, U.S. forces acting on orders from the Trump administration have killed 215 people in 63 aerial attacks on small boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific.
Since the first attack on September 2, the Trump administration has told us that they are killing drug traffickers. But drug trafficking, especially being a low-level courier, is not a crime punishable by the death penalty, and, even if it were, the U.S. legal system assumes innocence and guarantees a day in court. Skipping that step makes this murder under U.S. law: the equivalent of a cop shooting a fleeing suspect in the back.
The administration is attempting to get around this by claiming that every one of the dead is a “narco-terrorist,” a member or “affiliate” of a profit-seeking criminal group recently added, with no outside review, to a secret Defense Department list of “Designated Terror Organizations,” or DTOs. Because the United States is in a “non-international armed conflict” with the DTOs, a secret Justice Department memo argues, our military is permitted to kill them on sight, even with no self-defense justification.
Yet the administration has still not presented any evidence that a bombed vessel was even carrying drugs, much less that its deceased crew was affiliated with a criminal or “designated terrorist” organization. … continue

On the night of June 17, 2026, something happened in Peru that was not supposed to be mathematically possible. Leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez Cerón led Keiko Fujimori by more than forty thousand votes after every domestic ballot had been counted. The race was, by any sober reading of the numbers, over. Then the overseas vote came in, and inside ninety minutes, Fujimori had flipped the entire deficit and won by fifty thousand votes in the other direction. A ninety-thousand-vote reversal. In a single tranche of ballots. From a diaspora that represents less than three per cent of registered voters.
The National Office of Electoral Processes, or ONPE, later put Fujimori ahead by 49,641 votes, but the result still had to be formally proclaimed by the National Elections Board, or JNE.
Before that overseas count was even published, a man named Carlos Díaz-Rosillo had already appeared on Peruvian national radio, and told the audience, with calm precision, exactly what was about to happen. He knew the margin. He knew the direction. But above all, he knew, as he put it, that the overseas vote would “reverse” Sánchez’s domestic lead and hand Fujimori the presidency, and he was right to the decimal.
Díaz-Rosillo is not a Peruvian. He has never run in a Peruvian election. He is a Cuban-American who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Western Hemisphere affairs inside Donald Trump’s first White House, and who went on to found and direct the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom at Florida International University, a state-funded institution in Miami that, according to a months-long investigation by WLRN Public Media and the Miami Herald, has received $39 million in Florida taxpayer dollars since 2020, spent less than half of it, and is now openly described by its own director as a “hub” for conservative Latin American politics. Throughout the Peruvian campaign, he was presented on Peruvian television as an independent analyst. He was, in fact, Keiko Fujimori’s primary strategic advisor. Fujimori had been a paid “Global Fellow” at his institution, compensated with $45,000 for a year of work, as Díaz-Rosillo confirmed to Peruvian media.
She flew to Miami, gave lectures, took the credential, and came home with the blessing of a machine that runs from Trump’s Doral golf resort to DeSantis’s statehouse to the Heritage Foundation to the Israeli defense industry, and that has been quietly building the infrastructure for exactly this kind of result for years. … continue

Abelardo de la Espriella’s razor-thin victory over leftist Iván Cepeda on June 21, 2026 represented the most recent rightward shift in Latin America’s politics. The defense attorney from Barranquilla captured 49.66 percent of the vote against Cepeda’s 48.7 percent—a margin of roughly 250,000 votes in what Al Jazeera called one of Colombia’s closest elections.
Within hours, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called to congratulate him, and de la Espriella posted his response publicly.
“Colombia will restore and strengthen its relationship with the State of Israel like never before. Israel can count on Colombia as a loyal friend and steadfast ally,” de la Espriella declared. Sa’ar called him “a true friend of the Jewish people and the State of Israel,” adding that he looked forward to “revitalizing relations between Israel and Colombia and taking them to their highest level ever” and that he had already invited the incoming president to visit Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his own congratulations, saying he looked forward to “working with you to strengthen the bond between Israel and Colombia.” De la Espriella has pledged to reverse Petro’s 2024 decision to cut ties with Israel and has promised to relocate the Colombian embassy to Jerusalem.
No figure looms larger in this transformation of Latin American politics than Argentine President Javier Milei. … continue

TEHRAN – Direct cargo shipping from the United Arab Emirates to Iran has resumed, a senior trade official said.
Ali Emami, director-general of logistics and support at Iran’s Trade Development Organisation, told Mehr news agency that shipping lines from the UAE to Iran are now operating directly. “Trade relations are returning to normal and direct transport of goods from the UAE to Iran has been established,” he said.
Jebel Ali port in Dubai is one of the region’s most important transshipment hubs and a key origin point for Iranian imports, particularly intermediate goods, raw materials and equipment. During the months of heightened tensions and disruption to maritime routes, a portion of Iranian merchants’ cargo was stranded at the port. The resumption of direct shipping is expected to reduce waiting times and ease supply chain bottlenecks.
However, private sector operators say that while trade routes have reopened, maritime freight rates, insurance costs and some expenses have not yet returned to pre-crisis levels.

… The Gaza Government Media Office has documented that Israel has killed 262 journalists and wounded 420 since the start of the genocide in Gaza.
These murders often included intentionally killing family members of the journalists, including children.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate documented that , “the targeting of the Palestinian journalistic situation by the Israeli occupation army was not limited to direct killing, injury, arrest or preventing coverage, but developed to take a more dangerous and brutal dimension represented by targeting the families of journalists and their relatives, in a clear attempt to turn journalistic work into an existential burden paid for by children, wives and parents”.
It added that, “Based on the monitoring and documentation of the Freedoms Committee in the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, the targeting of journalists’ families has become a systematic and repeated pattern during 2023, 2024 and 2025, killing about 706 families of journalists in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said that Israeli occupation forces abducted at least twenty Palestinians from across the occupied West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
PPS explained that among those abducted were five women: Jamila Abu Dahho and Jamila Kanaan from Ramallah; former prisoner Maisar al Faqih and Faten Hanaisha from Nablus; and Etaf Bader from Hebron. The army also abducted journalist Hasan Abdul-Jawad from Bethlehem.
The organization stated that Israeli forces continue to escalate abductions and field interrogations at an accelerated pace since the beginning of the genocide, targeting all sectors of Palestinian society as part of a policy of collective punishment and retaliation.
PPS added that Palestinian women face intensified targeting through ongoing abduction campaigns, including hostage‑taking, nighttime home invasions, and harsh interrogation methods.
It noted a rise in abductions based on Israeli claims of “incitement” on social media, describing this as a dangerous escalation in which the abduction of women is used as a tool of pressure and collective punishment. The number of Palestinian women held in Israeli prisons has now risen to 99.
The number of Palestinian journalists imprisoned by Israel has also increased to 42, including two subjected to enforced disappearance. … Full article

S. Muralidhar, a United Nations Commissioner on Human Rights, who led the recent UN inquiry into Israel’s killing of children in Gaza, revealed that IDF terrorists routinely target Palestinian babies as specific and intentional targets.
In an interview with RT India, he said, “When you shoot a 10-day-old baby breastfeeding on his mother… through his head, you can by no means label such a baby as an enemy of the State of Israel and justify these kinds of attacks”.
He noted that “Israeli quadcopters with thermal imaging cameras can clearly distinguish a child from an adult”.
During the interview, he noted, “That children were specifically targeted is clear from the number of ‘instances of babies with gunshot wounds to their head and neck to cause maximum damage.’ He added that babies were targeted with ‘tiny cube-shaped pellets’ that ‘spread like a cluster of ammunition and destroy all the internal organs.’”
He added, “So it became very clear… that babies were special targets,” and “noted that Israeli soldiers recounted on TV how they targeted children with quadcopters, claiming that ‘their commanders complimented them for doing that.’”
During the interview, he said, “We have a number of cases where an adult is holding a child, the child is killed, and the adult is unharmed”. … continue

Israeli drone strikes and continuous bombardment across Gaza City, the northern districts, and the central and southern areas of the Strip killed several Palestinians and left many others wounded on Wednesday, as Israeli aircraft continued daily attacks on civilian neighborhoods during the ongoing genocide.
Medical teams confirmed that two Palestinians were killed and four others, including infants and children, were wounded when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a group of civilians near Dar al‑Arqam School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northwest Gaza City. The strike occurred shortly after midday and left several of the wounded in critical condition.
A separate Israeli strike near Gaza Municipality Park killed Mohammad Naim Jundiya and injured another man. Witnesses said an Israeli aircraft fired a single missile at civilians gathered near the park. Jundiya was transported to hospital with severe injuries and later pronounced dead.
Local reporters noted that Israeli aircraft have been carrying out targeted killings on a near‑daily basis across multiple areas of the Gaza Strip.
Three more Palestinians were killed in a drone strike near the al‑Hilu station at the northern entrance of Gaza City. Local sources said the drone targeted a group of civilians standing near the station, causing immediate fatalities.
In Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost area, medical officials reported the death of Hisham Khaled Hammad, who succumbed to wounds sustained during Israeli attacks last year.
Throughout the day, Israeli forces carried out additional bombardment and gunfire in several districts. In the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, reporters documented Israeli gunfire and drone strikes that caused multiple injuries from sniper fire and shrapnel. In the Tuffah district, residents reported sustained drone activity and intermittent shelling that forced families to flee several residential blocks.
In northern Gaza, Israeli drones fired on agricultural land east of Jabalia, injuring several farmers working in the fields. Civil defense crews said they were unable to reach all the wounded due to continued drone surveillance and repeated missile fire in the same area. … Full article
The Board of Peace said that the UN aid agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) can have no role in the future of Gaza.
“UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza,” the Board of Peace posted to X on Wednesday. “We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict. The people of Gaza deserve better.”
UNRWA serves as the most crucial aid agency for Palestinians who live as refugees or as second-class citizens in Israeli-occupied territory. Since the start of the Israeli onslaught in Gaza, UNRWA has provided a crucial lifeline to people living in deplorable conditions caused by the Israeli siege of the Strip.
Israel has waged a propaganda war against UNRWA and worked to dismantle the agency’s ability to provide aid to Palestinians. Tel Aviv has attempted to portray UNRWA as a wing of Hamas, claiming its members helped to conduct the October 7 attack. However, multiple investigations have found that Tel Aviv has not produced evidence to substantiate the allegation.
The lack of evidence has not prevented Israel from restricting UNRWA’s operations. Tel Aviv has restricted UNRWA’s ability to operate and provide aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Additionally, the Knesset has passed a series of laws that target the UN agency.
Earlier this year, Israel passed legislation barring water and electricity companies from providing services to the UNRWA building, and a UNRWA facility in East Jerusalem was demolished.

Israel and the US-led Board of Peace are planning to transfer Palestinians in Gaza into so-called “humanitarian shelters,” in order to “disconnect” the strip’s population “from Hamas” while Israeli forces solidify and expand their occupation, Israeli media reported on 30 June.
The Board of Peace plan, referred to as a “pilot program” by Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, will reportedly begin in the coming weeks.
Information obtained by the outlet said the first area where Palestinian civilians will be forced into will be in Tal al-Sultan near the city of Rafah, which was obliterated during Israel’s genocide.
They must have “no weapons or affiliation with Hamas,” the report says.
“Multinational forces under Board of Peace management will arrive … and will be based at a facility built for them at Camp Amitai. They are expected to be equipped with nonlethal weapons to maintain order in the humanitarian zones, while [Israel] will continue to hold its positions and deepen its grip on areas beyond the yellow line,” it added. […]
The “multinational” force mentioned in the report refers to the Board of Peace’s International Stabilization Force (ISF).
It remains unclear whether Washington has actually managed to assemble this force.
Media reporting over several months since the Gaza plan was launched has consistently indicated major discomfort and uncertainty over the ISF plan, which would require international and regional troops to force Hamas’s disarmament after two years of genocide failed to do so. … Full article

Even as frustrations mount over Israeli military campaigns across the Middle East, governments keep buying weapons from Israel — making it one of the world’s largest arms exporters.
As experts tell Responsible Statecraft, Tel Aviv uses these weapons sales to lock countries into long-term, strategic relationships that make recipients less likely to hold Israel accountable for their behavior in Gaza and Lebanon or in its West Bank policies. They stress that sustained U.S. support, including billions in military grant aid each year and the co-development of many Israeli weapons systems, helps make this all possible.
A weapons exports boom
Following October 7, Israel’s defense industry has exploded: the number of startups there nearly doubled, from 160 in July 2024 to 312 in April 2025. Its arms exports, which account for 75% to 80% of all Israeli weapons production, have grown in tandem. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) data published in March, Israel was the world’s seventh-largest arms exporter between 2021 and 2025, surpassing the United Kingdom.
Tel Aviv raked in a record $19.2 billion from arms exports in 2025, a jump up from the $14.8 billion it made the previous year. […]
Meanwhile, Israeli firms have gained a competitive edge, thanks to what former State Department official Josh Paul calls a “larcenous” approach toward U.S. intellectual property. “Many technologies developed by U.S. industry are [simply] re-developed and re-packaged by Israeli companies,” he told RS.
American support is often evident in the export deals themselves, where, for example, the Arrow-3 system Germany bought from Israel was co-developed with the U.S., which helped fund its development. … Full article

The security forces of the extremist-led government in Damascus are carrying out a campaign of forced displacement against Syrian Shias in Homs Governorate, displacing at least a thousand families and destroying scores of homes and property.
The ongoing campaign began on 29 June after authorities issued evacuation notices to the residents of Homs’s Al-Mazraa and other areas.
The notices were issued under the pretext of preventing construction on “state-owned” land and the lack of building permits by locals, according to the Syria Justice Archive (SJA).
Residents received phone messages from the government demanding that they leave “on orders from Homs Governorate leadership.”
They were given 72 hours before authorities cut off electricity and water in the area.
State security forces entered Al-Mazraa and Al-Raqqa near the Al-Waer area, destroying infrastructure and homes and assaulting residents.
“The demolitions were accompanied by verbal abuse and threats from General Security militia members … Residents and bystanders were prevented from filming the destruction. A delegation of villagers traveled to the Homs Province headquarters to seek intervention, but the governor, appointed by the … government, declined to receive them,” sources told SJA.
Locals are describing the situation as a “sectarian displacement campaign.”
The orders are reportedly only targeting Shia and Alawite properties lacking permits in Homs, but not those belonging to Sunnis.
Despite the attempt by Damascus to impose a media blackout, images and videos of the events surfaced on social media. … Full article

Leaked official Israeli documents reveal that Iranian missile attacks on the Bazan refinery in Haifa destroyed critical infrastructure, including a storage tank.
Quds News Network reported on Tuesday that an official draft document published by the Israeli regime’s Interior Ministry reveals significantly broader damage than previously disclosed following the Iranian missile strikes.
The document, which was published as part of procedures to approve reconstruction work at the Bazan refinery complex in Haifa Bay, reportedly details damage to gas turbines, steam boilers, electrical rooms and other auxiliary systems that had not previously been publicly reported.
It also states that an oil derivatives storage tank struck during the March attack is beyond repair and must be replaced with a new tank with a capacity of up to 12,700 cubic meters.
The June strike on the complex severely damaged its power plant, disrupted refinery operations and killed three workers. At the time, Bazan estimated the losses at $150-200 million, while Israeli officials maintained that fuel supplies would not be affected.
According to the Interior Ministry document cited by QNN, the damage extends beyond physical infrastructure and has affected the refinery’s operational capacity. … continue

Will Israel restart the war with Iran before the October elections? This is the consensus view emerging within Iran’s internal national security debate over the past week.
Several factors are driving Tehran to this conclusion. Beyond its deep—and not entirely unwarranted—suspicion of President Donald Trump’s intentions, heightened by Vice President JD Vance’s recent remark that Trump wants to use the MOU to replenish global oil reserves and then “see where the hand is,” two developments stand out: the recent Israeli-Lebanese agreement and its impact on Hezbollah’s military posture over the coming months.
From Tehran’s perspective, the agreement hands Israel a significant advantage in any renewed war with Iran—one it lacked in February. By allowing Israeli forces to remain in parts of southern Lebanon, the deal appears to contravene the MOU while fundamentally reshaping the military balance. Israel’s continued presence in these strategic positions would make it far more difficult for Hezbollah to mount the kind of offensive operations that proved critical during the previous round of fighting.
That matters because, in February and March, the Iranians say they used only about 40 percent of their offensive capabilities against Israel, because Hezbollah carried much of the remaining burden. At the time, pundits in the West were debating why Tehran hit the UAE harder than it did Israel. … continue
A cargo vessel ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday while traveling a route not approved by Iran’s naval authorities, Iran’s IRIB reports.
The ship was identified as a foreign container ship, but the report didn’t provide any further details on the matter.
IRIB’s report seems to underscore Iran’s geographical control over the strategic waterway, through which a fifth of all oil and gas passes.
According to HormuzTracker, the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted, showing little to no passage through the key waterway.
This confirms a total halt in detected commercial navigation activity, with no crude oil tankers, LNG carriers, bulk carriers, or container ships recorded moving through the Strait.
Transit through the Strait fell sharply following waves of US aggression against Iran and subsequent hostile rhetoric from Washington. Trackers showed that between June 24 and June 28, vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz fell from a high of 74 to 22.

Police raided offices connected to France’s largest opposition party on Tuesday, National Rally (RN) leader and presidential hopeful Jordan Bardella has said, claiming the searches were politically timed as the country moves closer to election season.
The Euroskeptic and anti-immigration politician is widely seen as RN’s likely candidate to replace political heavyweight and long-time leader Marine Le Pen, who was barred from holding public office for five years after being convicted last March of allegedly misusing EU funds.
“Since early this morning, searches have been underway at the offices and private homes of communications service providers who have worked with us,” Bardella wrote on X on Tuesday, referring to media reports of a looming legal investigation into him over a job he held in the European Parliament “nearly 12 years ago.”
“As always, judicial proceedings herald the electoral calendar. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for, and we will demonstrate it,” he added. … continue

While NATO accuses Russia of plotting attacks on the bloc, its own actions suggest it is planning for war with Russia.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said NATO is building weapon to attack airfields deep inside Russia, with Ukraine as a testing ground. This spring, the NATO-led Joint Expeditionary Force held wargames to practise besieging and capturing Russia’s Kaliningrad region.
Questions have also been raised over the Namejs 2025 exercises in the Baltics.
Lithuanian media said the exercise played out setting up a temporary prison camp called “Selonia” in Latvia for “potential collaborators” — civilians suspected of political disloyalty.
- The camp would have 10,000 prisoners with 300 guards
- The exercise included identifying and isolating politically suspect people
That was most worrying for border regions like Latvia’s Latgale, where Russian remains the common language Russians, Latvians, Belarusians, Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians and Jews. Russian- and Belarusian-speaking communities in Lithuania could also be targeted, including parts of the Polish minority.
Echoing the Nazi occupation, the drills involved labeling parts of the population as potential enemies, compiling lists of “disloyal” citizens and preparing prison camps even before any conflict begins.
Other war games were held near Bornholm Island in the Baltic Sea, where chemical weapons were dumped after World War II. The aim was to control sea traffic — possibly planning for Baltic Sea blockade on Russian ports. … continue

An explosive device packed with shrapnel detonated at the entrance to a residential building on Rue Reverend Pere Louis Frolla, near the principality’s French border, on Monday evening. Ermolaev, his wife, and his 13-year-old child were all seriously wounded, with both parents in critical condition and the boy burned but in stable condition, according to Le Figaro.
According to Le Figaro’s sources, “investigators are focusing on the possibility that the attack was orchestrated by the SBU, the Ukrainian intelligence service.” Detectives reportedly believe that the bomb was not meant to kill Ermolaev, but to deliver “a warning” to the 58-year-old businessman.
Ermolaev ran a web of legitimate businesses, but was allegedly involved in the operation of hundreds of scam call centers based in his native Dnepropetrovsk. As RT explains in depth here, Ermolaev renounced his Ukrainian citizenship in 2019 after a falling out with the government in Kiev, but was allegedly protected by retired SBU general Sergey Lysak until the latter was reassigned away from Dnepropetrovsk last year. … continue

A six-month-old baby has been killed in a Ukrainian drone attack in Moscow Region, Governor Andrey Vorobyov has said, adding that three other people were pulled from under the rubble of a residential building.
In a Telegram post on Tuesday, Vorobyov said the drone came down in the town of Yegoryevsk, around 110 km southeast of Moscow. “At night, as a result of a drone crash in Yegoryevsk, a private house caught fire. People were trapped under the rubble,” he wrote. The surviving victims – two adults and one child – have been hospitalized and are receiving assistance, Vorobyov added.
The infant died on the way to the hospital, the governor said, expressing his condolences.
According to Vorobyov, the Yegoryevsk strike was part of a wider overnight assault in which air defenses repelled 60 drones across Moscow Region, mostly in the south. … Full article

The Kiev regime has long been known for its authoritarian and dictatorial practices, constantly violating the most basic democratic principles and values, such as freedom of speech and the press. Journalists have been censored, arrested, sanctioned, and – in the most extreme cases – even murdered by the regime, revealing its deeply anti-democratic nature, despite Western propaganda’s insistence on portraying it as a “guardian of European values.”
In a recent incident involving violation of press freedom, Ukrainian military threatened to use force to “punish” journalists who exposed abuses committed by recruitment centers. An officer from Ukraine’s 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skelia” (formerly “Skala”) recently threatened journalists who had revealed allegations of torture among the regiment’s recruits.
The journalists had previously reported various types of abuse within the unit, noting that new recruits were subjected to torture – with some even dying as a result of the physical mistreatment they endured. According to information shared by the journalists, at least 26 Skelia soldiers have died in the last six months. These deaths occurred at the unit’s training grounds, where recruits were forced to withstand severe torture. … continue

Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar has called for an international investigation into Israeli interference in Slovenia’s parliamentary elections, escalating a diplomatic row that has also exposed deep internal political divisions over the country’s stance on the Middle East, VINnews reported.
President Musar, who previously accused “Israel” of committing genocide in Gaza, appealed for the release of intelligence findings that reportedly point to a coordinated disinformation campaign targeting the then-ruling liberal party during the March 2026 elections.
According to Slovenian intelligence investigations, the operation involved an electronic disinformation network that leveraged deepfake technology and artificial intelligence to undermine the liberal camp. The probe allegedly attributed the campaign to a private Israeli intelligence firm operating in coordination with elements of Slovenia’s right-wing opposition. … continue

Israeli occupation forces demolished the boys’ secondary school sports field in the town of Battir, west of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, on Tuesday, in a continuation of Israeli measures targeting Palestinian educational and community infrastructure across the occupied West Bank.
Local officials said Israeli soldiers invaded Battir, positioned themselves around the Battir Boys’ Secondary School, and proceeded to destroy the facility.
Akram Bader, head of the Battir Municipal Council, stated that the soldiers first demolished the retaining wall surrounding the field before bulldozing the entire ground, leaving it completely unusable.
Bader said the field was built more than sixty years ago and served as one of the town’s most important public spaces, used daily by students and local youth for sports, school activities, and community events. … Full article

NEGEV – Far-right Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Monday the completion of preparations to establish three Jewish settlements in the northern region of the Gaza Strip, pending approval from premier Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The settlement administration, under my direction at the defense ministry, has completed its planning work and we are ready to establish three settlements immediately once we receive the green light from the prime minister,” Smotrich declared in a video from the settlement of Sderot posted on his X account.
In the footage, standing alongside the Sderot mayor, Smotrich added that Israel must complete “the conquest of the remaining territory [in Gaza], defeat Hamas, and establish a belt of Jewish settlements.” … Full article

Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire killed several Palestinians and wounded others across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, as Israeli forces continued widespread violations of the “ceasefire” agreement, including the destruction of homes, bombardment of civilian areas, and attacks on displaced families.
Israeli forces also carried out repeated demolitions inside areas designated as “safe zones,” alongside airstrikes and artillery fire targeting displaced families.
Khan Younis – Southern Gaza
Three Palestinians were killed and others injured north of Khan Younis when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a motorcycle. A third young man, identified as Omar Hamdi Sabah, later succumbed to the serious wounds he sustained in the same strike.
In a separate attack, Diana Mohammad Salem Abu Darraz, 23, and her one‑year‑old daughter Sewar were killed when Israeli forces shelled tents sheltering displaced families in the Al‑Mawasi area west of the city.
Khan Younis witnessed intense military operations throughout the day. Israeli forces carried out four large‑scale demolitions at dawn in the eastern and northeastern parts of the city, destroying homes and civilian facilities.
Also, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a cluster of tents sheltering nearly 200 displaced Palestinian families in the Al‑Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.
The strike leveled the makeshift encampment and ignited fires that consumed the families’ remaining belongings, leaving them without shelter or possessions.
Armored vehicles also opened fire toward eastern Khan Younis, causing additional casualties and displacing families. … Full article

… The Al‑Farra family had returned to the plot where their home once stood, pitching a tent on Environment Street near Bani Suhaila — just outside what Israel calls the “yellow line.” The area is officially designated as safe under the ceasefire agreement, yet Israeli forces continue to fire on neighborhoods beyond that boundary.
More than 22,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war. Many died in places labeled “safe.”
“She was getting ready for school”
Eline’s father, Islam Mohammed Al‑Farra, was sitting with his children under a tree, trying to escape the heat, when the shell landed.
“We heard the tanks firing,” he said. “We did not think much of it. We have grown used to the sound of shells and bullets around us. But this time was different. The shell fell right behind our tents.”
He ran toward the tent where Eline had been preparing for school. … Full article

The US military is planning to deploy “troops on the ground” in Lebanon in order to aid Hezbollah disarmament efforts and oversee the new agreement signed illegally between Beirut and Tel Aviv, the Washington Post reported on 30 June.
“The US military will have a direct role in monitoring actions by both the [Lebanese army] and the [Israeli army],” a US official is quoted as saying.
US forces will deploy “troops on the ground in both countries,” the source added.
“We’ll call balls and strikes, if you will. So, our political leadership can apply whatever pressure needs to be applied on either side to get them to hold up their end.”
Head of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Brad Cooper “is not taking a direct role in overseeing either side, but officials with CENTCOM would report any violations to the Trump administration, which would then engage,” the report went on to say.
The report came as Nabih Berri, Lebanese parliament speaker and head of Hezbollah ally the Amal Movement, reportedly doubled down on recent comments rejecting the new Beirut–Tel Aviv deal brokered by Washington – signed in direct violation of Lebanese laws.
According to Lebanese political sources cited by Elnashra, Berri is working to build a broad cross-sectarian “political front” to oppose the Lebanon–Israel framework agreement. … Full article

Speaking after visiting an exhibition of belongings of the martyrs of the Dena, Araghchi condemned the attack as a clear war crime, saying the vessel was hundreds of kilometers away from the war zone, unarmed, and on a routine training and ceremonial mission when it was struck without warning by a US submarine.
“What happened is undoubtedly a war crime that will be recorded in history,” Araghchi said. “This action is not a naval victory, it only shows the enemy’s weakness.”
The foreign minister added that the attack, which killed 104 sailors, was an act of cowardice against a defenseless target far from the battlefield. … continue

… The reopening of the Strait was not a unilateral concession from Iran. It was the outcome of a strategic calculation in which Iran secured tangible benefits for restoring the energy route.
The United States, having failed to achieve its military objectives and facing mounting economic pressure at home, found itself in a position where it needed the Strait reopened far more than Iran needed it closed. This asymmetry of urgency became the foundation upon which Iran built its negotiating leverage.
The MoU reflected this reality. Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait was not merely acknowledged, but it was formalized in clear terms. The provisions governing maritime traffic, the mechanisms for ensuring compliance, and the recognition of Iran’s rights were all shaped by the strategic reality that the Strait of Hormuz is not a global commons to be managed by external powers but Iranian territorial waters subject to Iranian authority.
This represents a fundamental reversal of the strategic dynamic that had prevailed for decades. In the past, the United States could threaten to close the Strait to Iran. Today, Iran holds the power to open or close it, and the United States must negotiate to ensure its continued accessibility. The shift is not merely tactical but structural. The Strait of Hormuz is now a source of Iranian power rather than a vulnerability to be exploited by adversaries. […]
The Strait of Hormuz is now a strategic trump card that has transformed Iran’s military resilience into diplomatic leverage. Its closure and reopening from a position of Iranian authority has established a new strategic reality – Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait is non-negotiable, its control over the energy route is absolute, and its willingness to use this leverage is beyond question. … Full article

“During the final stages of the so-called 60-day war, it was Muwaffaq Salti [base] that served as a kind of regional outpost for American operations against Iran,” the source said.
The source added that the United States relied on the Jordanian facility because it had limited regional alternatives for conducting its operations.

Congress has refused to even allow a full House vote on a provision that would pave the way for an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes.
The move came through the House’s Rules process for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which determines which of the more than one-thousand proposed amendments to the defense policy bill will be publicly debated and voted upon by the full House. Unfortunately, after no debate on Monday, the Rules Committee chose to reject a bipartisan amendment introduced by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) that would have stripped the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the bill.
The committee released a list of amendments that were ruled “in order” for a vote on Monday night, and theirs was not on it.
This provision they wanted to squelch, previously known as Section 224, creates an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process, from co-producing weapons to “data fusion.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as “my plan.” … continue

In June 2026, Jeremy Clarkson announced that he was in remission from prostate cancer and called himself the luckiest man alive. An aggressive tumour had been caught early the previous year, and a follow-up PSA test had come back clear. He used the moment to press a message on other men. Get tested, he said, and if a GP turns you away because you have no symptoms, invent some. “Just lie,” he advised, tell them you are up half the night needing to urinate. Around 12,000 men in the UK die of prostate cancer each year, he pointed out, and no man should let himself become one of them.
In practice, PSA tests are ordered on men all the time, often added to routine blood tests without discussion and without any informed consent about what an abnormal result will set in motion.
Jeremy Clarkson’s advice was heartfelt – he wanted to save lives. But the advice could lead to thousands of healthy men becoming impotent or incontinent without helping them live any longer. That is why prostate cancer screening has never been rolled out in the UK.
If every man were screened, the arithmetic would be this:
• about 1 in 100 men would die of prostate cancer whether screened or not – for them screening changes nothing;
• about 1 in 500 men would be spared a death from prostate cancer because of screening;
• yet the same number of men still die, and at the same age.
His conviction is understandable given his circumstance. However, there are many assumptions that led to his conclusion and they are not all correct. … continue

Australia has spent six months running the world’s first big experiment in keeping teenagers off social media. The results are now in and the results are that teenagers are still on social media. Pretty much all of them.
So naturally, the government has looked at this comprehensive, undeniable, slightly embarrassing failure and decided that the correct response is to do exactly the same thing again, except angrier and with bigger fines.
A study in the British Medical Journal followed 408 teenagers and found that 85% of Australians aged 12 to 15 were still merrily logging on three months after the ban supposedly cut them off from the world.
The New York Times took a look and concluded that “six months in, most indications are that the law has largely failed at keeping young teens off the platforms.” One parent, asked how the great crackdown was going in their household, offered the immortal line “I don’t know a single person who’s lost an account.” … Full article

A Palestinian prisoners’ advocacy group says Israeli military forces have abducted a female Palestinian journalist during a raid in a residential neighborhood in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office announced in a statement on Monday that Israeli occupied troops stormed the town of Na’lin, west of Ramallah, in the early hours of the day.
They broke into the family house of Palestinian journalist Suad al-Khawaja, violently ransacked the building, and took her away to an unknown location without presenting any charges or a specific judicial order.
Khawaja is reportedly a well-known journalist in the West Bank, who has provided extensive coverage of developments in the region and vicious assaults being carried out by extremist Jewish settlers.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office strongly condemned the abduction, calling it part of the Zionist regime’s ongoing policy to suppress the voice of the Palestinian media, and prevent it from reflecting the truth of the unfolding situation in the occupied territories. … Full article

… Mohammed El-Kurd, the Palestine Correspondent at the Nation Magazine and editor-at-large at Mondoweiss, reports that , “The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets.”
He added that, “Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists”.
This move, El-Kurd reported, “was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.”
This came after the CPJ removed eight Palestinian journalists from its list of reporters killed by Israel, falsely claiming that they “participated in combat”.
This appears to be at the behest of a deception deployed by the Israel lobby, which conflated the fact that these reporters at one point worked in media relations for Palestinian resistance groups to portray them as combatants.
Zionists had run a campaign against the reporters delisted on the CPJ, claiming that groups such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), listed them as members when in reality, the groups listed that they had worked in the group’s media departments, not as combatants.
The Times of Israel admitted that three of the reporters were delisted, not because they took part in armed combat, but because they at one point worked in media relations for the Palestinian resistance. … Full article

Israeli rights group B’Tselem has released a new report documenting around 60 cases in which Israeli forces killed Palestinian children and teenagers in the occupied West Bank in 2025.
From October 7, 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip, to 28 June 2026, Israeli forces killed 1,086 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds.
At least 241 of those killed were children and teenagers.
In addition, Israel continues to withhold the bodies of 18 of the 54 children and teenagers it killed in the West Bank in 2025.
The majority of these children were playing outside when they were shot dead.
In one case, two-year-old Layla al-Khatib was sitting in her mother’s lap inside her family home when an Israeli soldier shot her in the head in January 2025.
The report also reveals that in nearly one-quarter of the documented cases from 2025, Israeli forces deliberately prevented medical teams or local residents from reaching wounded children and teenagers, blocking life-saving assistance.
Nearly one in every four Palestinians killed by Israel in the West Bank during this period was a minor. This represents the highest rate of child and teenager killings in the West Bank since Israel occupied the territory in 1967. … Full article

Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace is planning to grant itself sweeping legal immunity for its work in Gaza, according to a draft resolution obtained by the Guardian. Details uncovered about the resolution has raised concerns that the US-backed body could shield its officials, soldiers and contractors from legal action if Palestinians are killed, injured, abused or stripped of property.
The draft resolution, labelled “sensitive but unclassified”, would protect members of the Board of Peace, its administrative affiliate, the Office of the High Representative (OHR), Palestinian technocrats, international military forces and non-resident contractors from “any arrest, detention or legal proceedings in the courts or other entities in Gaza,” the Guardian reported.
The document would also allow the organisation to obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”, a clause legal experts warned could open the door to the seizure of Palestinian land, buildings and facilities without consent or compensation.
The Board of Peace, chaired by Trump, was authorised by the UN Security Council to oversee Gaza’s administration until 31 December, 2027. Its seven-member executive board includes Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Witkoff, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and national security adviser Marco Rubio.
Six lawyers specialising in US contracting law and international armed conflict reviewed the draft. They warned that, if adopted, the resolution leaves unclear how board officials, soldiers and contractors would face legal action if shootings, accidents or abuses affect Palestinians in Gaza.
“It looks like an attempt to exempt the board, and all of its personnel, from accountability for potential legal violations,” said Emily Schaeffer Omer-Man, an expert in litigating international humanitarian law in Israeli, American and foreign courts.
The draft’s section on “Third Party Liability/Claims” would allow the Board of Peace itself to consider and adjudicate claims for “property loss or damage and for personal injury, illness or death” arising from its operations in Gaza. Critics said this would leave the body to judge complaints against itself.
“They are basically saying there’s no external oversight, including applicable international law regarding occupation,” said Noura Erakat, an international law professor at Rutgers University. “It’s creating a legal system unto itself.” … Full article

Israel continued its escalation and violations of the fragile “ceasefire agreement” in the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing seven Palestinians — including two children — and injuring dozens in multiple attacks targeting Khan Younis, Deir al‑Balah, Jabalia, and other areas across the southern and central Gaza Strip.
The Health Ministry in Gaza said Israeli forces killed two Palestinians and injured twenty‑eight, including three who suffered critical wounds, in repeated attacks targeting displaced families sheltering along the shore of Khan Younis.
A Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Al‑Qarara area northwest of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Medical teams said his body was transferred to Nasser Medical Complex after he was struck by Israeli gunfire in the town.
Two Palestinians, including a young girl, were injured by Israeli army fire east of Hamad City, north of Khan Younis, while an Israeli drone fired a missile at the Al‑Mawasi area west of the city.
Two additional children were injured by Israeli gunfire in Jabalia refugee camp and in Khan Younis. One of the wounded children was identified as Gheith Younis Abu Deribi, 18 months; he was shot by the soldiers in Jabalia.
In central Gaza, three Palestinians — including an 8‑year‑old child — were killed when an Israeli drone bombed the area surrounding Wadi al‑Salqa Bridge on Al‑Baraka Street in Deir al‑Balah.
The victims were identified as Ali Fayez Isbeitan, Hassan Salman al‑Hanajra, and the child Malek Wael Abu Shaweesh. Five others were injured in the attack, and civil defense crews reported difficulty reaching the site due to continued drone activity overhead. … Full article

The Israeli regime has reportedly rebranded a scheme to remove Palestinians from Gaza, replacing the term “voluntary migration” with “Free Movement Plan” amid mounting international condemnation.
According to Israeli media, the cabinet of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promoting the Gaza relocation initiative under a new name following growing international backlash.
Israel’s Channel 13 reported that instructions have been given to various bodies of the regime’s establishment to present the plan using language considered more acceptable abroad.
Sources involved in contacts with foreign governments reportedly expressed hope that the change in terminology could revive the scheme after previous diplomatic efforts stalled.
The reported rebranding comes as Israeli military operations, land seizures, and restrictions on the movement of civilians continue across the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire that took effect in October 2025.
A senior Israeli official quoted by Channel 13 acknowledged that the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas “still exists” in Gaza and stated that Israel “seeks to encourage” as many Palestinians in Gaza as possible to leave the territory. … continue
Israeli forces opened fire on Syrian civilians on Sunday evening as they began withdrawing from the village of Abidin in Daraa province, southern Syria.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that “Israeli occupation forces opened fire towards residents while withdrawing from the village of Abidin in the western Daraa countryside.”
There were no immediate reports of injuries, and the Syrian authorities have not commented on the incident.
Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli army set up tents on Tal al-Maghar, west of Abidin village, and in the Yarmouk Basin area in the Daraa countryside.
Syrian media reported that Israeli forces fired live ammunition and illumination flares, targeting farmers near El-Tallah after a force of four armoured personnel carriers moved from al-Jazira barracks towards the area.
Israeli military activity in Syria has escalated in recent months, including raids on civilian homes, searches, the establishment of checkpoints, and the detention of civilians, including shepherds and children.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime on 8 December 2024, Israel declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement had collapsed and took control of the UN-monitored buffer zone.

Iraq has set a late-September deadline for resistance groups to hand over their weapons to the state, as Washington pressures Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to expedite the disarmament of anti-American factions.
“The end of next September will be the ultimate date for the surrender of weapons,” stated government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi during a press conference on Monday.
He added, “Simultaneously, the [US-led] international coalition will withdraw.”
Under Zaidi’s leadership, the Iraqi government has initiated a renewed effort to disarm armed groups and limit weapon possession to state control. The initiative receives substantial support from Washington, which has long advocated for the disarmament of such groups, many of which are part of the anti-American Resistance in Iraq coalition.
Zaidi, who has received robust backing from the US since assuming office in May, is scheduled to visit Washington in mid-July. … continue

The United States tested its new Lockheed Martin Precision Strike Missile projectiles in the opening attacks of its unprovoked war against Iran, striking the southern city of Lamerd in Fars province and killing 21 people—including six children—, according to the news outlet Middle East Eye.
Among the survivors of the live‑fire tests, several women suffered severe and lasting injuries: a 15‑year‑old girl lost her sight from the blast, another survivor lost her voice, a third sustained catastrophic abdominal wounds, and a fourth was left paralyzed after shrapnel pierced her spinal column.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) marked the offensive on March 4 through its official social media channels, declaring that the long‑range precision strike missiles had been used in combat for the first time in history during Operation Epic Fury. Admiral Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, expressed profound pride in US service members for using innovation to create difficulties for their enemy, according to the military body’s post.
Despite the March 4 social media statement, CENTCOM officially denied on March 31 that it had directly participated in the Lamerd attack, instead attributing the incident and civilian casualties to the detonation of a missile from Iran’s own defense forces.
Earlier in March, during the initial phase of the joint US‑Israel aggression—and after news emerged of a massacre of more than 160 minors at a school in Minab—the White House initially blamed Iran for that attack, though it was soon confirmed to have been a US bombing.

The provisional surrender document signed by Donald Trump appeared to represent a triumph for Iran and indeed for the world; but neither the USA nor Israel has the slightest sense of honour and they cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith.
Iran knows this – after all, the USA twice attacked Iran actually during peace negotiations, on each occasion killing key Iranian negotiators.
To understand the American position, it is important to realise two key points:
- Greater Israel is an absolute priority
- Opening the Strait of Hormuz is not a US priority
While the US/Israeli alliance were defeated in their attempt to impose regime change on Iran, and indeed have consolidated the popular support of the Iranian government, they have succeeded in expanding Greater Israel. Israel has ethnically cleared and devastated a vast swathe of Southern Lebanon, expanding its military footprint, and notably attempting to repeat its ploy from November 2024 of pushing forward its armour under cover of ceasefire. … continue
