🌊🇨🇳 China’s First Deep-Sea Smart Test Ship Hits the Waves

China’s 110‑meter, 7,000-tonne fully electric deep‑sea green intelligent test ship, Weilai, has started sea trials with more than 20 sets of domestic marine equipment. Designed as a floating laboratory, it collects real‑sea data under complex conditions to accelerate the commercialization of homegrown marine technology.

The ship is also testing a domestic intelligent steering system aimed at breaking foreign dominance in marine navigation. With a 10,000-nautical-mile range, Weilai represents a major step in China’s push for self-reliant maritime innovation.

JUST IN 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 UK-linked diplomat claims US envoys pushed Trump toward Iran war

A diplomat with direct knowledge of the US–Iran negotiations has made a controversial claim, stating that American figures Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were viewed as “Israeli assets” who influenced President Donald Trump toward a conflict he now wants to exit.

The remark comes from sources involved in the nuclear talks, where the UK’s National Security Adviser was also present. According to reports, negotiations between the US and Iran were progressing and a potential deal was still within reach before military escalation occurred.

The claim highlights growing criticism over how the talks were handled, with concerns that diplomatic efforts may have been undermined by political decisions and internal divisions within the US administration.

GLOBAL UPDATE 🌍🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷🇹🇼

U.S. Focus on Middle East War Raises Indo-Pacific Concerns, Analysts Say China Could Benefit

The ongoing U.S. military engagement in the Middle East, particularly tensions involving Iran, is raising concerns among allies in Asia about a potential weakening of American presence in the Indo-Pacific region. According to reporting by Bloomberg and Associated Press, the shift of U.S. military resources—including weapons and strategic attention—toward the Middle East is being closely watched by regional partners.

Analysts warn that this reallocation could reduce U.S. readiness around Taiwan and the broader Indo-Pacific, a region already facing rising tensions. While there is no confirmed evidence that China is directly studying U.S. war tactics from the conflict, experts say Beijing could gain a strategic advantage if Washington remains heavily engaged elsewhere. The situation highlights growing global concerns about balancing multiple security challenges at once.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷Top-ten US lies about the war with Iran

Since the war between the US, Israel and Iran, statements from American officials, especially President Donald Trump, have increasingly clashed with reports, evidence, and even their own earlier claims.

1️⃣ 'Iran has nuclear weapons'

On 28 February, Trump claimed Iran had developed nuclear weapons threatening US allies, and soon, the US itself.
But in June 2025, he said Iran’s nuclear programme had been “completely destroyed”. So which one is true?

2️⃣ 'Iranian missiles can hit US'

Trump warned Iranian missiles could soon reach American soil.
Yet Pentagon's Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) previously assessed Iran would need years to develop such capability. Iran’s current missile range is just about 2,500 km, while the distance to the US exceeds 11,000 km.

3️⃣ 'Iran bombed a school in Minab'


Trump blamed Iran for a strike that killed 175 people.
However, media investigations and leaked Pentagon information suggested the strike was caused by a US Tomahawk missile—reportedly due to a targeting error.

4️⃣ 'The US can protect oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz'

Trump promised military escorts for commercial shipping.
In reality, multiple reports claim requests were declined, and several vessels that relied on US assurances were later attacked.

5️⃣ 'Footage of attacks on US bases is fake AI'

Trump dismissed videos of strikes on US bases and pro-government rallies in Iran as AI-generated propaganda.
However, similar footage has appeared across international media and independent social media accounts, raising doubts about that claim.

6️⃣ 'US controls the war'

American officials repeatedly claimed the situation was “contained”, despite ongoing strikes, regional escalation, and rising casualties.

7️⃣ 'No US troops are at risk'

Public statements downplayed danger to American forces, even as reports emerged of attacks on bases across the region.

8️⃣ 'Sanctions only target the regime'

US officials insist sanctions are “precision tools”, yet humanitarian groups argue they severely impact civilians, especially access to medicine and essential goods.

9️⃣ 'We’re not seeking regime change'

US officials insist the goal is “stability”, not overthrowing Iran’s leadership.
Yet statements from multiple policymakers, along with long-standing positions in US Congress, have openly discussed weakening or replacing the Iranian government.

🔟 'Civilian casualties are minimal'

Officials often claim strikes are “precise” and avoid civilian harm.
But reports from humanitarian groups and coverage by outlets like Reuters suggest civilian casualties may be higher than officially acknowledged—raising questions about transparency and accountability.

BREAKING 🇮🇷 Gulf energy facilities under threat after South Pars attack

Iran has threatened to target oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar following an Israeli strike on its South Pars offshore gasfield, the world’s largest. The facilities reportedly at risk include Saudi Arabia’s SAMREF refinery and Jubail petrochemical complex, the UAE’s Al Hosn gasfield, and Qatar’s Ras Laffan refinery and Mesaieed petrochemical complex.

Iran confirmed damage at its own South Pars field but reported no casualties. Gulf states, including Qatar, condemned the Israeli attack as “dangerous and irresponsible,” warning it threatens regional and global energy security. Diplomatic efforts are underway, with Saudi Arabia hosting an urgent meeting of Arab and Muslim-majority foreign ministers.

🇶🇦 QATAR CONDEMNS IRANIAN STRIKE ON RAS LAFFAN 🇶🇦🇮🇷

"Violation of sovereignty." Qatar condemns the strike on its LNG facility.

Iran says: "We warned you."

The context Qatar omits:

🔥 Ras Laffan burns—but Qatar hosts Al Udeid Air Base, CENTCOM forward HQ, 10,000+ US troops launching strikes on Iran

Tehran's warnings were clear: any nation hosting US bases is a legitimate target

Three warnings ignored:

📢 February 28: "US bases across region are targets"
📢 March 3: "Neutrality requires closing bases"
📢 March 15: Specific alerts to Gulf states—Qatar included

The reality:

Qatar wants neutrality while housing the command center bombing Iran. Deterrence has a price. So does hosting an army at war with your neighbor.

The question: When your territory hosts forces bombing a neighbor—can you really claim "neutrality"?

A truck carrying brand new electric vehicles went up in flames on a highway in China's Hebei, sending a massive plume of black smoke into the sky

Footage shows the transporter fully loaded with EVs as fire rapidly spreads across the vehicles

There’s no sign of any strike or external attack — the fire appears to have started on the truck itself

Similar incidents involving vehicles catching fire during transport have been recorded before, though the exact cause in each case is typically investigated

🇬🇧 MI5 PAYS COMPENSATION TO WOMAN ABUSED BY NEO-NAZI INFORMANT 🇬🇧

The British state admitted "mistakes"—after years of protecting a violent extremist in its employ.

MI5 settled with 'Beth', abused by Agent X—a neo-Nazi informant.

What X did:

🔪 Attacked Beth with machete, threatened to kill her
🗣️ Used MI5 status to silence her: "Men in high places have my back"
📹 Forced her to watch execution videos
⚠️ Prior history: threatened to kill ex-girlfriend and her child; "fantasies about eating children"

MI5's cover-up:

⚖️ Provided false evidence to three courts
🤥 Claimed "neither confirm nor deny" policy—after disclosing his status to journalists in 2020

The apology:

MI5 chief: "We relied on incorrect evidence. Record-keeping fell short."

Beth's response:

"They're still protecting this violent predator."

The price of empire: women as collateral.

🇫🇮 FINLAND'S DESPERATE GAMBLE: Why Stubb Wants to Join the Iran War 🇫🇮🇺🇸

Stubb's proposal: EU sends naval forces to Hormuz → US gives Ukraine more weapons.

His fear: With Washington distracted, Zelensky faces bad peace with Russia.

The problem:

🚢 Finland's fleet: 8 light missile boats, 10 minesweepers

🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 Baltics enthusiastic—navies even smaller. Stockpiles already cleaned out by Ukraine. Any support "strictly symbolic."

The reality:

🇫🇷 Macron: Help only after hostilities cease
🇩🇪 Pistorius: "What can European frigates accomplish that US Navy cannot?"
🇵🇱 Tusk: "No expedition to Iran"

Trump to Zelensky: "Last person we need help from."

A gamble, not a strategy.
