🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN TO US: “WE WON’T WRITE A LETTER OF SURRENDER” – Gharibabadi
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi makes it clear: Tehran’s conditions – compensation, guarantees against future aggression, and recognition of Iran’s sovereign rights – are “the minimum necessary” for any durable peace. Washington wants capitulation.
📜 “When a party rejects Iran’s response simply because it is not a letter of surrender, it becomes obvious that the issue is not peace but the imposition of political will through intimidation.”
💰 Tehran demands compensation for war damage, guarantees against future attacks, and respect for its sovereign rights (including control over the Strait of Hormuz and peaceful nuclear energy).
🌊 Iran maintains its maritime toll system as a defence strategy.
⚠️ Trump threatens: “One big glow coming out of Iran” if ceasefire collapses – but is currently in China, reducing immediate escalation risk.

🇪🇸🌍 SPAIN WANTS AN EU ARMY – But Brussels Can’t Even Agree on Lunch
Madrid has joined the chorus calling for a standalone European force, citing Washington’s growing unreliability. “We cannot be waking up every morning wondering what the US will do next,” Spain’s foreign minister said. But the idea has split the bloc – and the Global South watches as Europe militarises while its economies stagnate.
🇪🇸 Spain’s pitch: “This is the moment of the sovereignty and independence of Europe. We must be free of dependence, free of coercion – whether tariffs, military threat, or someone else’s decisions.”
🇫🇷 Macron’s dream: Has long called for a “true European army” – even declared NATO “brain dead” in 2019.
🇮🇹 Meloni cautious – but her foreign minister supports the idea.
🇵🇱 Poland sceptical – “Unrealistic, national armies will not merge.”
🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas calls it “extremely dangerous” – “the ball falls between the chairs.”

🇸🇦🇰🇼🇮🇶 BREAKING: SAUDI & KUWAITI JETS STRUCK IRAN‑BACKED MILITIAS IN IRAQ DURING THE WAR
While the world focused on US‑Israeli strikes, Saudi warplanes and Kuwaiti forces were actively attacking Iran‑aligned militia targets inside Iraq – expanding the conflict’s geography far beyond the Persian Gulf.
🛩️ Saudi fighter jets struck Iran‑backed militia positions near the Saudi‑Iraqi border, targeting sites used for drone and missile launches.
🇰🇼 Retaliatory strikes were also launched from Kuwait into Iraq, hitting militia facilities, killing fighters, and destroying communications and drone infrastructure.
🌍 The attacks show that the war was never limited to US‑Israeli vs Iran – Gulf Arab states actively participated in offensive operations.

🚨 THE SAHEL ALLIANCE: BRICS' MOST DANGEROUS GAMBLE IN AFRICA 🇲🇱🇧🇫🇳🇪
Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are tearing up the neocolonial playbook – and the West is furious.
In this explosive Think BRICS documentary, we go deep into the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) – a new bloc that is:
💰 Dismantling the CFA Franc – replacing it with a gold‑backed currency (SIRA)
🛰️ Claiming digital sovereignty – partnering with Russia’s Roscosmos for satellite independence
🇫🇷 Expelling French forces and breaking from ECOWAS
🌍 Building a Pan‑African, multipolar future – with support from BRICS members
This is not just a regional pact. It is a proof of concept for anti‑imperialism in the 21st century.

🇪🇺💰 NATO’S RUTTE ASKS ALLIES FOR 0.25% GDP FOR UKRAINE – France & UK Push Back
The NATO chief wants to triple aid to Kyiv – but major powers are refusing. The burden falls unevenly, and the Global South watches as Europe’s “unity” cracks.
🔴 Key points from the POLITICO report (May 12):
📊 0.25% of GDP – would raise annual aid to 143 Billion (from 45 Billion last year).
🇫🇷🇬🇧 France & UK oppose – the proposal is “unlikely to proceed in its current form.”
🇸🇪🇫🇮🇳🇱 Nordics & Baltics pay far more than their share. Swedish FM: “Less than 30 million people provide one‑third of NATO’s military support – not sustainable.”
🇺🇸 Trump halted almost all new US military assistance – leaving Europe to shoulder the burden.
🏛️ The issue will be discussed at NATO’s July summit in Turkey (Ankara).

Hantavirus on a cruise ship is scary… but it’s NOT a new COVID.
Here’s the truth: how it actually spreads, symptoms, and why you shouldn’t panic.
Hantavirus is mainly spread by rodents (urine, droppings, saliva) — not casual person-to-person contact. It can be serious, but it’s very different from airborne viruses.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 A WEAKENED TRUMP AND BEIJING’S NEW LEVERAGE – The Balance of Power Has Shifted
As Trump lands in Beijing, diminished by a failed war and depleted stockpiles, China holds new cards: rare earth dominance, anti‑sanctions legislation, and Taiwan leverage. This is not a summit of equals – and both sides know it.
🎯 “Never before has a US president appeared so diminished before a Chinese counterpart.” – Marco Fernandes, BRICS Civil Council.
🇨🇳 China is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the US strategic defeat in Iran.
🛡️ Taiwan is a major loser – US military stockpiles depleted; would take ~6 years to replenish to levels needed to defend the island.
🔋 Rare earths card – 4% of US GDP ($1.2 trillion) depends on Chinese rare earths. Beijing already restricted exports of eight elements last year – a “nuclear button.”

🚨🇮🇱🇦🇪 JUST IN: Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the United Arab Emirates during the height of the Iran war.
Israel has now officially confirmed the meeting.
According to Netanyahu’s office,
the Israeli Prime Minister held secret talks with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed during “Operation Roaring Lion.”
The timing is raising serious questions.
Reports say the visit happened shortly before alleged covert attacks on Iran linked to the UAE.
At the same time,
Iran was launching missiles and drones toward Gulf states,
including the UAE.
Behind closed doors,
the Middle East is rapidly reshaping itself.
Not through public speeches.
But through secret meetings,
military coordination,
air defense cooperation,
and quiet alliances built around one shared concern:
Iran.
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee also confirmed that Israel sent Iron Dome systems and personnel to the UAE during the conflict.
The Abraham Accords were once presented as normalization agreements.
