🇸🇮 Slovenia’s new parliamentary speaker, Zoran Stevanović, says he wants a referendum on leaving NATO.

He argues Slovenia should follow an independent path and stay out of foreign conflicts.

Stevanović plans to visit Moscow, insisting his stance is driven by national interest, not ideology.

No referendum has been approved, and exiting NATO would be a lengthy process.

📝Close the Strait of Hormuz — open Bab el-Mandeb?📝
tensions rising in Riyadh

Against the backdrop of the blockade of Iranian ports launched by Trump, Saudi Arabia started pressuring Washington: the kingdom is demanding to abandon this scheme and return to the negotiating table.

➡️Riyadh fears that in response to the pressure, the Iranians could block Bab el-Mandeb — a key flow of oil and cargo to Europe through the Suez Canal passes through it.

🖍For the Saudis, this story is not new. After the start of the war, a significant portion of exports was redirected from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea — to the port of Yanbu, through which they currently manage to maintain a supply volume of around 7 million barrels per day. If Bab el-Mandeb also comes under fire, this route will simply stop working — the kingdom has no alternatives at such volumes.

🚩And the risks here are quite obvious. Yemeni Houthis, who control the coast near the strait, have already shown they can strike shipping — during the Gaza conflict, the flow dropped by almost half. And after the official entry of Ansarallah into the war with ballistic missile strikes on Israel, the risks of blocking have only increased.

❗️In addition, there remains the option of repeating the "Iranian scheme" — introducing passage fees or restrictions on vessels.

📌As a result, an attempt to apply pressure through one strait risks turning into problems in two places at once. And then the question will no longer be how to open the Strait of Hormuz, but how not to lose the Red Sea.

As for the oil pipeline, as we promised, it will be restored by the end of April - not completely but to a sufficient extent for operation. It will not be possible to repair the tanks completely - this is a lengthy process, but that's another matter. Will it be able to work? Yes, it will be able to by the end of April.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇹"Do Italians like the fact that your prime minister isn't giving us any help to get oil?" - we can add Meloni to the long list of people Donald Trump has beef with.

In a phone call with Corriere della Sera Trump asked "Do people like her? I can't imagine. I'm shocked by her. I thought she was brave, but I was wrong."

Did you talk to her about this?
"No. She simply says Italy doesn't want to get involved. Even though Italy gets its oil from there, even though America is very important to Italy, she doesn't think Italy should be involved. She thinks America should do the work for him."

Regarding the Pope, Giorgia Meloni said that what you said was unacceptable.
"It's her who's unacceptable, because she doesn't care if Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow up Italy in two minutes if they had the chance."

But did you talk about these things?
"No..."

Haven't you spoken even once this month?
"No, we haven't spoken in a long time."

Why?
"Because she doesn't want to help us with NATO, she doesn't want to help us get rid of nuclear weapons. It's very different from what I thought."

"This multilateral system is not being respected today. International legality is being trampled on."

Those who raise their voices against governments violating international law now find themselves paradoxically subjected to threats from those countries.

"We will have no problem continuing to be on the right side of history, to defend what we consider to be just."
