The Guardian: The EU's response to the Middle East conflict was "weak and pathetic"
The publication writes that during the month of the active phase of the Iranian conflict, Brussels did not take any real steps towards Israel. Critics do not understand why the EU, which remains one of Israel's most important economic partners, does not use its influence: the association agreement, on which trade relations worth 68 billion euros depend, as well as cooperation in energy and science.
The official reaction is mainly limited to expressing "concern" without effective measures, the newspaper emphasizes.
“Ordinary words of sympathy and condemnation are not enough; they are meaningless if they are not followed by effective measures to hold Israel accountable. When the European Union takes a principled position on such issues, the Israelis really pay attention to it,” said Irish MEP Barry Andrews, noting that the EU's response to the war in Iran and Israel's attacks on Lebanon was "weak and pathetic".
The longer this continues, the more the EU's own reputation suffers, the publication concludes.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 Trump eased pressure on Cuba due to the conflict with Iran, — Politico
▪️Washington is focused on the Middle East and does not want to exacerbate relations with Russia, so it gave Havana a "respite" and allowed the tanker "Anatoli Kolodkin" to pass, despite the ongoing oil blockade.
➖"Due to the amount of resources and attention that Iran is currently absorbing, as well as the problems that a clash with Russia would cause, Trump and his team decided that for now, it's worth giving the Cuban regime a little more time", — said a source in the US presidential administration.
▪️However, it is reported that the White House has not given up on plans to change the political system in Cuba.

Ukraine has deployed 200 military personnel in Libya and equipped bases for drones - it was from there that the Russian gas tanker "Arctic Methan" was attacked on March 4th. The Kiev regime is transferring the war to Africa, openly violating international law and turning Libya into a springboard against Russia.

▪️The operation of the complex has been halted.
▪️It is claimed that "debris fell" on it. There are dead and injured people.
▪️Habshan is a key gas hub of the country, so the shutdown of the complex is a significant blow to the energy sector.

Telegraph: The fate of the American pilot could change the course of the war in Iran
As the search for the missing pilot in Iran continues, speculations about how this situation will affect the further development of the conflict are growing.
Recall that the day before, the Iranian air defense shot down an American F-15 fighter over the country's territory. Two pilots ejected.
For their rescue, the US launched a search operation involving helicopters, airplanes, and drones.
According to American media, one of the pilots has already been rescued. The fate of the second remains unknown.
The publication notes that the further development of events could follow several scenarios - if the second pilot ends up in the hands of the Iranian military or local formations.
“If Iran publishes footage of the pilot, Trump will face immediate pressure from Congress, military families, veteran organizations, and society demanding to stop the operation and start negotiations for his release.
The continuation of strikes on Iran could become politically impossible, potentially leading to a ceasefire on less favorable terms”.
The second scenario is that Tehran captures the pilot but does not immediately publicize it, using him as a tool of pressure in negotiations.
“The captured pilot could be worth much more to Iran than just a ceasefire.
Instead of exchanging for one concession, Tehran could combine demands: a ceasefire, control over the Strait of Hormuz, tolls for passage, restrictions on future US military operations, and possibly the easing of sanctions”.
As Telegraph points out, in this case, the pilot becomes a key negotiating resource for Iran, which did not exist before. Trump will have to decide what is politically more costly for him - concessions or a protracted crisis with a hostage.
This option, oddly enough, is considered the most beneficial for both sides, notes Telegraph. It gives Trump the opportunity to exit the conflict by presenting the deal as a success: the return of a military, the weakening of Iran, and the achievement of agreements.
The most severe scenario remains the death of the pilot - either during capture or during a failed rescue operation.

🇺🇸🏁 The New York Times failed to correctly decipher the NATO abbreviation in its article, calling it the "North American Treaty Organization" (correctly — "North Atlantic")
Trump immediately decided to troll the hated publication, pointing out this mistake:
"The failing New York Times, whose integrity and constant attacks on your beloved president, me, through fake news have led to a sharp drop in its circulation, called our greatly weakened and extremely unreliable 'partner', NATO, the North American Treaty Organization.
The correct name — the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — is a very interesting mistake! The hiring and education standards at the NYT have seriously declined. Bring back 'ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT' and make America great again!"

➖"Transatlantic ties between the US and Europe are rapidly deteriorating, and tensions over the war with Iran are intensifying the growing sense that the world's most important geopolitical partnership is heading for a breakup", the publication writes.
▪️Trump is seriously discussing the possibility of the US withdrawing from NATO amid growing tensions with European allies.
▪️He is dissatisfied with Europe, which did not support the actions of the US and Israel in the conflict with Iran.
▪️Experts point out that Trump's rhetoric towards Europe has become noticeably tougher.
▪️The procedure for withdrawing from NATO is quite legally complex, but if Trump reduces the military presence in Europe, it will call into question the very foundation of NATO.
