—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇦🇪 IRGC Statement:

‘Earlier this evening, the U.S. military attempted to escort several ships through the Strait of Hormuz via an illegal route not approved by Iran; a route that is dangerous and has been extensively mined.

Two Emirati supertankers, which were deceived by the U.S. into believing they were safe, were targeted and disabled after they turned off their navigation systems and ignored repeated warnings.’

Germans joke about how Merz plans to find money to reach 5% of GDP for NATO.

- For too long, comfort was placed above work. That's over now. Every day, every hour, and every minute you will devote to developing this country. Vacations and sick leave will be canceled. Together, we will create the largest low-wage labor sector in history.

- Water. Earth. Fire. For a long time, four nations could live at the expense of others. But during the recession, the upper middle class declared war on us, and everything changed. Only the Avatar, master of capital, could defeat them again.

Peskov called the characterization of Russia as a junior partner of China erroneous. Relations between Russia and China are built on the principle of equality, stated the press secretary of the Russian president, commenting on a publication by The Wall Street Journal. Previously, WSJ wrote about an alleged imbalance and tension in relations between Russia and China.
