Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

We did not demand any concessions from America; rather, we called for an end to the war and a halt to the piracy at sea against Iranian ships.

Our proposals to America were generous and responsible https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2053759747459805188/video/1

These idiots now decided to strike at Europe. Its your advice and your lobbying that took us all here….. we will remember

The post-war Middle East is being built right now, in rooms Europe is not in. The diplomatic work is American. The financial work is Gulf. The political normalisations are bilateral. Europe has been reduced to statements and cheques, writes @srodan:

RT @NSTRIKE1231: 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is preparing to mobilize up to 300,000 additional troops for the war against Ukraine, although the final decision has not yet been taken, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing sources within intelligence agencies.
▪️ All mechanisms required for a new wave of mobilization are already prepared, but Moscow is hesitating because of the expected serious economic and social fallout.
▪️ The legal basis for mobilization is already in place (the 2022 decree remains active), however the current contract-based recruitment system is effectively “running on fumes.” Despite a clear imbalance, it is barely managing to compensate for losses.
▪️ A large-scale mobilization would also pose major political risks for the Kremlin — due to possible spikes in domestic social tensions and further strain on the labor market, which is already suffering from a severe shortage of workers.
