๐ฎ๐ท๐ฌ ๐บ๐ธ๐ต๐ฐAn Iranian delegation will arrive in Islamabad this evening for talks with the US, Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam reported. ๐ด @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising
๐ฎ๐ท The Iranian ambassador to Pakistan has deleted a tweet announcing that an Iranian delegation would arrive in Islamabad. An official at the Iranian embassy told AFP the message was removed due to a โtimingโ issue, stating, โwe were not supposed to publish it,โ without confirming whether the delegation is still expected.
Meanwhile, Iran says it will only participate in upcoming peace talks in Islamabad if Israel halts its attacks on Lebanon. The deputy foreign minister added that any regional peace must include Lebanon, noting that Iran refrained from retaliating overnight after the United States urged Israel to stop the strikes, according to an ITV interview.

๐ด @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising
โThe repeated attacks by the Zionist entity on Lebanon constitute a blatant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement and a dangerous indication of deception and lack of commitment to potential agreements. Continuing these attacks will render negotiations meaningless; our hands will remain on the trigger, and Iran will never abandon its Lebanese brothers and sisters.โ

๐บ๐ธ๐ฌ ๐ช๐บ The US is ramping up pressure on European allies to take a military role in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Der Spiegel, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has informed European capitals that Trump expects concrete commitments within daysโsuch as sending warships or other military assets. General political statements are no longer considered sufficient.
European diplomats say Trumpโs demand amounts to an ultimatum following his meeting with Rutte. Germany has indicated general willingness to join a mission, but only under conditions such as a UN mandate and either a lasting ceasefire or a negotiated truce.
Beyond Hormuz, Trump is also reportedly pressuring NATO allies with threats. US media say he is compiling a list of European countries that supported or opposed him in his war on Iran, with possible US troop withdrawals from โuncooperativeโ allies. Spain is mentioned as a key case after refusing overflight rights for US military aircraft.
Germany, meanwhile, has placed no restrictions on US bases, but Trump is said to view Berlin as unsupportive because of political messaging describing the conflict as โnot our warโโa quote attributed to Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, though it was reportedly misattributed in Washington to Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

๐ฌ๐ง๐ท๐บRecently, the Telegraph published a report titled, "Putin mocks Starmer with a warship in the English channel" saying that, even though Starmer announced that the military have authorisation to board Russian shadow fleet oil tankers in UK waters, this has not happened โ and does not seem to be happening in this case.
But Healey today has implied that the fact that Russia feels the need to send a warship to escort its shadow fleet vessels has shown the new UK policy is โhaving an impactโ because it is making it much more difficult for Putin to sell oil using these tankers.

๐ฎ๐ท According to a senior Iranian source cited by TASS, Iran would allow no more than 15 vessels per day through the Strait of Hormuz under a ceasefire agreement.
The same source said Iran is demanding the unfreezing of its assets by the US within two weeks as part of the deal.
Tehran is also insisting that any end to the conflict must be formalized through a UN Security Council resolution, the source added.

๐ท๐บ Russian oil and gas tax revenues are set to surge sharply in April, driven by higher global energy prices following the Middle East crisis involving US and Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Reuters estimates.
The mineral extraction tax (MET) is expected to rise to around 700 billion rubles ($9 billion), up from 327 billion in March and roughly 10% higher year-on-year.
For 2026, Russiaโs federal budget projects 7.9 trillion rubles in revenue from this tax alone.
The spike is linked to Urals crude averaging $77 per barrel in Marchโthe highest since October 2023โup 73% from February and well above the $59 budget assumption. This March price will be used to calculate April tax payments.
Analysts note that Ukrainian strikes on Russian export terminals have limited impact on budget revenues, since the MET is charged at the production stage, not export.

๐บ๐ธโ๏ธ ๐ฎ๐ท U.S. Army Survivors dispute Pentagon account of Kuwait drone strike, say unit left exposed and unprepared
U.S. Army survivors of a deadly drone strike in Kuwait dispute Pentagon claims, saying their unit was left exposed and lacked meaningful defenses when six soldiers were killed and more than 20 wounded.
In interviews with CBS News, members of the targeted logistics unit said the March 1 Iranian drone strike hit a lightly protected tactical site at the Port of Shuaiba. They rejected Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethโs description of the drone โsquirting throughโ a fortified position, saying the facility had minimal protection against aerial attack and that leadership decisions placed them within known Iranian strike range after earlier repositioning orders across the region.
Troops described a rapid shift from routine operations to chaos after an all-clear alert, followed by a direct explosion that caused severe injuries, shrapnel wounds, and widespread confusion. Survivors said personnel improvised medical care and evacuation using civilian vehicles as fires spread through the compound.
Several soldiers also questioned command decisions that moved forces closer to perceived threat zones while relying on outdated defensive infrastructure designed for rockets and mortars, not drones. One survivor said there was effectively โnoโ drone defense capability at the site.
While Pentagon officials declined detailed comment due to an ongoing investigation, survivors said the incident highlights preventable risks and a mismatch between current drone warfare threats and U.S. base protection standards. They stressed they are not attacking the military overall, but want an accurate account of what happened and why.
