RT @NSTRIKE1231: 🇫🇷 The French Navy has seized another tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet.

🗣️ President Emmanuel Macron stated:
📌 “Yesterday morning, the French Navy seized a new tanker of Russian origin, the TAGOR, which is under international sanctions. Our decision is firm and unwavering.”
📌 “This operation was carried out in the Atlantic Ocean, in international waters, with the support of several partners, including the United Kingdom, and in strict compliance with maritime law. It is unacceptable for vessels to bypass international sanctions, violate maritime law, and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four years.”
📌 “These ships, which do not comply with the basic rules of maritime navigation, also pose a threat to the environment and the safety of all.”
This operation demonstrates France’s increasingly tough stance against Russia’s shadow fleet and sanctions evasion. By acting in international waters alongside partners, Paris is sending a clear signal that it is ready to actively enforce sanctions and disrupt the financial flows that sustain Russia’s war effort.

Russian propaganda doing its work

Reading NAFO, all the Western chicken hawks and "Stand with Ukraine" folks who cheerlead busification and "war until victory" from the safety of their keyboards, I can't help thinking of this:

“One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”

French President Emmanuel Macron:

"Last night, I spoke with President Trump about the situation in the Middle East.

I commended the determined efforts he is leading to quickly reach an agreement between the United States and Iran, which represents a unique opportunity to build a new security framework involving all concerned parties, in order to enable a lasting stabilization of the region.

I indicated that we are ready to fully support these efforts and to take our full part in their implementation. This is the purpose of the international mission that we have built with the British and our partners, ready to be deployed as soon as an agreement is concluded in order to contribute to securing maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. We are also prepared to bring our expertise and capabilities to the broader negotiations that must open, particularly on the nuclear aspect of an agreement.

Finally, I commended President Trump's commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, and emphasized the importance of a robust ceasefire and our collective support for the Lebanese authorities."

We bought German submarines…..

Peinlicher wird es wohl nicht mehr. Staatsminister @hahnflo des @AuswaertigesAmt begründet Deutschlands Untätigkeit gegenüber der 🇷🇺 Schattenflotte damit, dass Deutschland nun mal keine Seefahrer-Nation sei.

Diese dummdreiste Inkompetenz zersetzt Recht und Ordnung. https://twitter.com/stephanbischoff/status/2061177675478073512/photo/1 - Stephan Bischoff 🇪🇺🇺🇦

WHERE ARE WE HOLDING REGARDING CEASEFIRE?

• Israel crossed the Litani River and captured the strategic Beaufort Castle and ridge, its deepest advance into Lebanon since the war began.

• The U.S. struck Iranian radar, air defense, and military targets after Iran reportedly shot down a U.S. MQ-1 drone.

• Iran responded by launching drones and missiles at U.S. facilities in Kuwait. The extent of damage remains unclear.

• Prime Minister Netanyahu signaled that Israel is preparing expanded strikes on Beirut.

• Iran says its ceasefire with the U.S. is tied to a ceasefire in Lebanon and accuses Israel of violating understandings.

• Iranian officials continue warning that their “finger is on the trigger” if fighting resumes.

• Tehran says ending domestic uranium enrichment remains off the table, rejecting a key U.S. demand.

Bottom line: The ceasefire remains extremely fragile, lots going on simultaneously in Lebanon, Iran, and the Gulf.

Let’s not forget the constant rocket and drone fire from Lebanon.
