🇷🇺 RUSSIA SUMMONS ISRAELI AMBASSADOR Over Strike Near RT Journalists 🎥🇮🇱

Moscow is not staying silent.

Zakharova condemned the Israeli strike near an RT crew with clear press markings as an attack on civilians—"a gross violation of international law, deliberate obstruction of media work, and an attempt on their lives."

The demands:

🔍 Thorough Israeli investigation
⚖️ Hold culprits accountable
🌐 UN Human Rights Office & UNESCO must assess

🇮🇱 NETANYAHU'S CLAIMS: "Iran Can't Enrich Uranium" – As Rockets Keep Falling 🇮🇱🇮🇷

The Israeli PM addressed the nation with staggering victory claims. The paradox? The war isn't over.

Key boasts:

💥 "Iran has no ability to produce ballistic missiles or enrich uranium. We are crushing them to dust."

🎯 "We eliminated Khamenei, Larijani, the Intelligence Minister, base commanders."

🛢️ "We destroyed their Caspian fleet. Americans destroyed one, we destroyed the other."

🛡️ "We hit them in air, land, underground, at sea."

🏙️ "Towers falling in Tehran & Beirut—not Tel Aviv."

The paradox:

Claims total victory while:
🚆 Train stations burn in Tel Aviv
🚨 Sirens wail daily
🛡️ Reservists stretched thin
🏃 Citizens still sheltering

On Iran's people: "If they take to the streets—I hope it will be so."

On Trump: "No one drags him into anything."

President Aoun:

🗣️ "Working with countries to stop the war. Army is cohesive—strong due to people's love. Negotiation initiative remains, but military escalation hinders it."

🇺🇦🇮🇳 UKRAINIAN MERCENARIES IN INDIA "VERY DISTURBING" 🇮🇳🇺🇦

Six Ukrainians + one US citizen arrested for training Myanmar insurgents—crossed illegally through Mizoram.

India's NIA says they supplied weapons, operated in restricted border zone.

India's response:

Ex-Assam Rifles chief: "Ukrainian Embassy asked for release. We're not giving them up. They entered illegally. They will be charged."

⚠️ Concern: Myanmar insurgents may link to groups inside India.

🕵️ "Not sure which foreign power involved—but we'll find out."

The question: How many fronts is Ukraine opening—and how many nations are noticing?

🇺🇸 TRUMP THREATENS TO "BLOW UP" WORLD'S LARGEST GAS FIELD 🇮🇷🇺🇸

Terrifying escalation in the energy war.

Trump: If Iran attacks Qatari facilities, US will "massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field"—world's largest, shared by Iran & Qatar.

The context:

🔥 Israel struck Iran's South Pars (coordinated with US—Trump denies)
🇶🇦 Iran hit Qatari LNG facility in response

The madness: US threatens to destroy a field it claims to protect—co-owned by "ally" Qatar—because Iran retaliated against Israeli attacks.

🌍 Largest gas field on earth = bargaining chip. Millions, including YOU, will pay.

🇮🇳 INDIA CONDEMNS PAKISTAN'S ALLEGED AIRSTRIKE ON KABUL HOSPITAL: "Cowardly Massacre" 🇮🇳🇵🇰🇦🇫

New Delhi is not staying silent.

India condemns Pakistan's alleged airstrike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul—at least 400 killed.

The attack:

🏥 2,000-bed hospital struck at 9 pm, March 16
💥 Hundreds of civilians dead

India's statement:

"Barbaric airstrike... cowardly and unconscionable. Pakistan is trying to dress up a massacre as a military operation. A blatant assault on Afghanistan's sovereignty."

Pakistan's denial: Claims only military targets—not the hospital.

The context:

⚔️ Pakistan declared "open war" on Afghanistan in February, striking deep inside Afghan territory

🤝 Kabul's increasing engagement with India adds fuel

A hospital burns. 400 dead. The "open war" continues.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨🇺🇸 U.S. to Begin Production of High-Speed Combat Drones at New Anduril Plant

U.S. defense technology company Anduril Industries is set to begin production of high-speed combat drones at its new manufacturing facility in Ohio.

According to Reuters, the drone—called “Fury”—is part of the U.S. Air Force’s “loyal wingman” program, designed to operate alongside manned fighter jets in combat missions.

The new facility, known as Arsenal-1, is a nearly $1 billion project located near Columbus, Ohio. It is expected to employ around 250 workers by the end of 2026, with plans to expand the workforce to over 4,000 in the coming years.

In addition to drones, the plant is expected to produce advanced defense systems, including interceptors and cruise missiles. The move reflects growing demand for autonomous and unmanned systems following recent conflicts.

The Iran War Is Exposing This Major Shift of the 21st Century
The US-Israeli war against Iran is forcing a new look at the nature and limits of alliances in the 21st century.

In the second half of the 20th century, international politics rested on a relatively simple logic. The world was divided into blocs. Strong powers offered protection; weaker states offered loyalty. Security guarantees were exchanged for political alignment. This patron-client system formed the backbone of Cold War geopolitics.

Even after the Cold War ended, the structure largely su...  Read more »

🚨🇮🇷🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is projecting $180 oil if this war drags on

$200 isn’t “out of the question,” with forecasts pointing to $138–$140 next week and $150 by early April.

U.S. gas is already at $3.88, up from $2.93 just a month ago, with diesel at $5.10.

Even Saudi Arabia doesn’t want this, at some point demand collapses and the global economy takes the hit.

Breaking News: 🇨🇳💱 China Pushes Yuan as Global Reserve Currency in Long-Term Strategy

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed China’s long-term goal of turning the yuan into a global reserve currency, as part of a broader plan to build a strong financial system.

According to South China Morning Post, Xi emphasized the need for a “strong currency” that is widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign exchange markets. The goal is to elevate the yuan’s global status alongside major currencies like the U.S. dollar.

The push comes amid global financial uncertainty and questions over dollar dominance. However, analysts note that the yuan still has a relatively small share of global reserves and faces challenges such as capital controls and limited convertibility.

China has been promoting yuan internationalization for years through trade settlements, financial systems, and partnerships, but experts say achieving full reserve currency status will take time.
