Sudan: UAE-backed RSF militias and the SPLM-N faction are using drones to target the el-Samasim area along the Dilling–Kadugli road in South Kordofan.

Netanyahu:

Iran is in cahoots with the Maduro regime. They’re exporting terrorism to America, to the American hemisphere, and they want Hezbollah and Hamas to get their guys into the United States.

Netanyahu:

I wouldn’t eliminate the possibility of arms shipments from Iran to Venezuela.

Netanyahu on Trump:

History will judge him well.

President of The Center for Iranian Studies Assoc. Prof. Serhan Afacan:

The Iranian administration does not want a second round of confrontation.

They do not want their cities bombed once again by the Israeli Air Force. I think the Trump administration also does not want a second round of confrontation.

If a second round of confrontation breaks out, this time Iran is going to do everything to disseminate the conflict to the region, which means they are going to use their proxies, or what they call the Axis of Resistance.

President of The Center for Iranian Studies Assoc. Prof. Serhan Afacan:

This protest, which started in Tehran, is not surprising because there’s high inflation, and there’s a collapse of Iran’s currency against the U.S. dollar.

As far as the outside powers, like Israel and the United States, are concerned, they definitely try to escalate the tension inside the country.

Once Israel and the United States start saying such things—calling for regime change—about the genuine protests in Iran, these protests are easily securitized by the Iranian government.

President of The Center for Iranian Studies Assoc. Prof. Serhan Afacan:

President Trump doesn’t have an appetite to start a second confrontation with Iran. He warned the Iranians that he would not allow the weaponization of their nuclear program.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, I think, definitely wants a second confrontation. From his perspective, a second round of confrontation is necessary to finish the job.

Netanyahu:

Christians are oppressed everywhere in the Middle East — except one place: Israel.

Israel says it will suspend the licences of 37 humanitarian organisations working in Gaza Strip, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Oxfam, for failing to meet new registration and information-sharing rules.

Israel claims some groups did not properly disclose staff roles, funding or operations, and accused MSF of possible links to Hamas — allegations the organisation strongly denies.

MSF warned the move will severely damage healthcare in Gaza, where it supports a significant share of hospital beds and births.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud:

Our intelligence indicates that three important steps have been agreed upon with Somaliland:

First, the resettlement of Palestinians in Somaliland.

Second, the provision of an Israeli military base on the Gulf of Aden coast.

Third, Somaliland’s accession to the Abraham Accords.

These are the three Israeli demands that Somaliland has accepted.

If these three are implemented, what will happen in the future?

A Pandora’s box will be opened in the world.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 🆚 UAE 🇦🇪

From Yemen and Sudan to oil policy, Israel, and Gulf leadership, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi increasingly diverge on strategy, power, and regional influence.

NEW: Turkish MoD says it will support Syria if Damascus takes steps to restore unity.

Turkish MoD adds SDF is pushing federalism/decentralization and refusing to integrate into the central state.

Ankara says this harms Syria’s territorial integrity.

Türkiye backs the principle of “One State, One Army” and is closely monitoring the integration process.

Russian MoD released a flight map of Ukrainian drones that allegedly attempted to attack Putin’s residence.

Turkish President Erdogan:

In the past year, 600,000 of our Syrian guests have returned to their homeland.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are closely monitoring the increasing provocations and threats in the Eastern Mediterranean targeting the interests of our country and the Turkish Cypriot people.

I want it to be known that we will never turn a blind eye to fait accompli, opportunism, or piracy in the Blue Homeland.

This footage shows, allegedly, one of the Ukrainian drones shot down while flying toward Putin’s residence, carrying a 6-kilogram high-explosive charge, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi:

Any attempt at blocking the overriding trend of China’s reunification is doomed to fail.

Israeli airstrike meant to kill Iranian nuclear scientist Dr. Tehranchi was so powerful it tore through multiple floors of an apartment building, killing nearly an entire visiting family, including a 2-month-old baby.

Their daughter Zohra, her husband Behnam, and their baby Rayan were sleeping in the living room while visiting.

They were rushed to hospital with catastrophic burns. Within days, they were dead. Rayan… was the war’s youngest victim.

“Israel should not claim they targeted only nuclear scientists or the IRGC. They targeted us. They killed our Rayan.”

“Was he a nuclear scientist? Was he IRGC? Should we clap and say ‘good job’ to Netanyahu or Trump for killing our two-month-old grandson?”

NEW: China claims to have "successfully completed" its military drills around Taiwan.

EU’s Kaja Kallas:

Russia’s claim that Ukraine recently targeted key government sites in Russia is a “deliberate distraction."

No one should accept unfounded claims from the aggressor who has indiscriminately targeted Ukraine’s infrastructure and civilians since the start of the war.

Donald Trump saw Russia as strong and “invincible” and did nothing, not even seriously threatening sanctions.

The only dissent was his envoy Keith Kellogg, who backed Ukraine and called the war existential.

When Kellogg praised Zelensky, Trump reportedly snapped, called him an “idiot,” and removed him, replacing him with his friend Steve Witkoff.
