Renowned Political Economist Prof. Carlos Lopes
 

We certainly have manifestations of agency. South Africa taking Israel to ICC, preparations for the ports that are going to be much more in demand, Ethiopian Airlines replacing Gulf air traffic amid crisis by increasing their footprint.
 
But the most important manifestation has been the continental free trade area, modernization of tariffs… close to 90% indicates Africans are serious.
 
Using Africa's savings for Africa's development is now a priority for many, which is very significant.
 
The problem is, 80% of African saving is deposited outside the continent. If we repair that we won’t need as much external money as some believe.
 
Africa Development Bank, together with others, is putting together a new African financial architecture, which is very optimistic.

Netanyahu on Iran:

After we destroyed 70% of their steel production capacity, today we attacked their petrochemical plants.

We will continue to crush them.

NEW: India has bought Iranian oil for the first time since 2019.

The U.S. temporarily eased sanctions, allowing the purchase.

Trump:

“If you import The Third World, you become The Third World!” — AND THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT.

Trump:

Many of Iran’s Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran!

Top advisers around Trump have been privately arguing that Iran’s infrastructure—like power plants and road networks—can be treated as legitimate military targets.

Pete Hegseth and others have told Trump that striking these systems could disrupt Iran’s missile and drone capabilities, and even create internal instability that slows its nuclear progress.

U.S. intelligence says Iran is using decoys, making it hard to tell which targets are real.

This creates uncertainty about how many actual missile systems have been destroyed, since some strikes may have hit fakes instead of real launchers.

Iran's Tasnim:

U.S. forces are bombing areas in the southwest of the country where their missing pilot is believed to be located.

They are attempting to kill their pilot after losing hope of finding him.

WATCH: Hezbollah FPV drones strike two Israeli army tanks.

Israel is preparing possible strikes on Iranian energy sites but is waiting for U.S. approval.

A decision could come within a week.

Iran says Iraq won’t face any transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Trump on Truth Social:

NOW: U.S. forces are attempting another search & rescue mission for the missing F-15 jet crew member in Iran.

Gen. Randy George, the former U.S. Army chief of staff, said the Army deserves “leaders of character” in a farewell letter after being forced out by Pete Hegseth.

“I know you’ll… stay laser-focused on the mission… and cut through bureaucracy to get our warfighters what they need,” George wrote.
