🇮🇷☢️📃 — 📰 Nikkei Asia Review: Iran's switch of top security official hints at end of nuclear talks

— "Just two months after Iran and Saudi Arabia resumed diplomatic relations, Tehran's chief architect of the rapprochement is out of his post.

Ali Shamkhani stepped down earlier this week as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, arguably the nation's most important decision-making organization on defense and national security policies. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi appointed Gen. Ali Akbar Ahmadian, a veteran of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as his replacement.

While Shamkhani's resignation may seem at odds with the big diplomatic win he just secured, the switch has been months in the making. Raisi was always expected to pick his own national security adviser. Some say the only reason Shamkhani remained secretary was because of the then-ongoing talks with the Saudis."

🇺🇦❌🇷🇺 — 📰 The Guardian: ‘The intensity is increasing’: Ukraine says first steps in counteroffensive have begun

— "Preliminary operations have already begun to pave the way for a counteroffensive against Russian occupying forces, a Ukrainian presidential adviser has said.

“It’s a complicated process, which is not a matter of one day or a certain date or a certain hour,” Mykhailo Podolyak said in an interview with the Guardian. “It’s an ongoing process of de-occupation, and certain processes are already happening, like destroying supply lines or blowing up depots behind the lines.

“The intensity is increasing, but it will take quite a long period of time,” he added, predicting that as the counteroffensive gathered momentum, there would be more incursions into Russia by Russian rebel groups, such as the raid in Belgorod region earlier this week."
