🇺🇸🇮🇷 AXIOS: IRAN’S UPDATED PROPOSAL “INSUFFICIENT” – US Threatens “Conversation Through Bombs” 💣

The White House has received Iran’s latest counterproposal – and rejected it. A senior US official: “We need real, sturdy and granular conversation… If that’s not gonna happen, we will have a conversation through bombs.”

🔴 What Axios reports:

📜 Iran’s offer: Stronger wording on not pursuing nuclear weapons – but no detailed commitments on suspending enrichment or handing over the highly enriched uranium stockpile.

🚫 No sanctions relief “for free” – Washington denies reports of unilateral concessions.

Trump to convene national security team Tuesday to discuss military options.

🗣️ US official: “We are really not making a lot of progress… The pressure is on them to be responsive in the right way.”

🇮🇱 Netanyahu is pushing Trump to renew military operations – and is expected to hold a limited security consultation.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 PUTIN LANDS IN BEIJING – The “Silent Message” Xi Never Told Trump 🎯

The Trump-Xi summit failed. Putin’s visit succeeded. While the US president chased trade deals, Moscow and Beijing were quietly building the financial and energy infrastructure of a multipolar world – without Washington’s permission.

This Think BRICS exclusive breaks down:

🧩 Why the Beijing summit with Trump collapsed – no joint statement, no strategic breakthrough.

🤝 Putin & Xi are finalising the “plumbing” of a dollar‑bypass system: local currencies, energy security, and financial infrastructure.

🛢️ Power of Siberia 2 makes China unsanctionable. The Persian Gulf shift sees China replacing the US as a reliable security provider.

🌍 The “Great Triangle” is tilting – US diplomacy is being systematically expelled from Eurasia.

The era of US-led diplomacy is ending. Russia-China relations are the new global foundation.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS HE POSTPONED IRAN ATTACK – At the Request of Gulf Leaders

The US president just blinked – again.

Donald Trump announced that he has been asked by the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the UAE President to hold off on a planned military attack on Iran, scheduled for tomorrow. His reason? “Serious negotiations are now taking place.”

🛑 The attack is off – for now. Trump instructed the Pentagon to stand down, but also to be ready for a “full, large scale assault… on a moment’s notice” if no “acceptable deal” is reached.

🎯 The Gulf’s influence: Three Arab leaders stepped in to delay Washington’s war machine. The US is not calling all the shots.

☢️ The stated goal: “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!” – a demand Tehran has already addressed for decades under the NPT.

🧠 The subtext: Trump wants a deal to declare victory. Iran wants its sovereignty. The region wants to avoid another inferno.

🇪🇺🇮🇳 EU SETS DEADLINE FOR “MOTHER OF ALL DEALS” – India Trade Pact to Be Signed by Year End 🗓️

After nearly 20 years of stalled talks, the India-EU free trade agreement is finally on track. Ursula von der Leyen vows to make it fully operational “at record speed” – creating a free trade zone of 2 billion people.

🏛️ Von der Leyen: The trade agreement “opened the door; an investment agreement walks us through this door.” Promise to sign by end of 2026.

📊 Bilateral trade between India and the EU reached $136 billion in 2024-25 – the EU is India’s largest goods trading partner.

💰 India’s Commerce Ministry estimates export growth of $76 billion from Indian states to the EU.

🇸🇪 Modi elevated India‑Sweden ties to a ‘Strategic Partnership’ (bilateral trade ~$7.75 billion).

🏭 Modi pitched India as an investment destination to European CEOs (Vodafone, Ericsson, Nokia, TotalEnergies, Nestlé, Unilever) – urging pledges under the Make in India initiative.

📜🍚 THE GREAT BENGAL FAMINE: How to Destroy a Nation Without Firing a Shot

The British Empire didn’t need bullets – it used administrative memos, rice export ledgers, and deliberate “Denial Policies” to engineer the deaths of over 3 MILLION people.

In 1943, while WWII raged, Winston Churchill’s government weaponised resources in Bengal. This documentary deconstructs the Blueprint for Atrocity – a case study in economic warfare that still echoes in modern sanctions and resource politics.

🔴 What you’ll learn:

🚫 The Denial Policy – why boats and rice stocks were confiscated

📄 The paper trail – how bureaucratic decisions caused mass starvation

👑 Churchill’s Malthusian mindset – the ideology behind the famine

History isn’t just about what happened. It’s about the systems that allowed it to happen.

🇮🇷 “GULF OF OMAN COULD BECOME GRAVEYARD FOR US FLEET” – Iran Warns as Tensions Boil Over ☠️

Tehran’s patience is running out. A senior Iranian official, former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaei, has issued a chilling warning: lift the naval blockade, or the Gulf of Oman will become a graveyard for American warships.

🗣️ Rezaei: “The longer they continue the naval blockade of Iran, the greater the damage to the world economy… We advise the US military to lift the siege before the Gulf of Oman turns into their graveyard.”

A swarm of ghost Waymos overrun quiet streets of Atlanta neighborhood: Robotaxis reportedly spent hours looping through local cul-de-sacs at dawn like confused suburban sharks

Residents say around 50 empty vehicles have been repeatedly circling their streets early in the morning, clogging cul-de-sacs and creating what sounds like the world’s least efficient parade

One resident tried putting up a neon green sign to redirect the cars. Instead, the Waymos apparently treated it like a sacred artifact and jammed up the entire street because they ‘didn’t know what to do’

Neighbors say the autonomous cars have been showing up for hours at a time and Waymo has not yet responded to complaints

🇺🇸🇷🇺 BREAKING: US EXTENDS RUSSIAN OIL WAIVER – Again. Sanctions Are a Paper Tiger.

The US Treasury has once again extended the waiver allowing Russian crude and petroleum products already loaded onto tankers to be delivered and sold. Another 30 days. Another admission that Washington cannot afford its own sanctions.

🛢️ The waiver – initially 30 days, expired April 11, then extended to May 16. Now extended again. Buyers needed “more time” to take delivery.

💸 The reason: The US-Israeli war on Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz (20% of global seaborne crude). Washington needs Russian oil to cool prices – but gasoline remains elevated.

🤡 The irony: The same administration that lectures the world about “energy dominance” is quietly begging for Russian barrels. Sanctions are not a weapon – they are a bargaining chip.

🇧🇴🔥 BOLIVIA BURNS: Why Protests Persist Even After the Government Backed Down

A BRICS partner nation is on the edge. Fuel subsidies cut. Land mortgaging law passed. The streets exploded – and even a partial government retreat isn't enough to silence the movement.

December 2025: President Paz Pereira eliminated fuel subsidies by decree – fuel prices nearly doubled.

🌾 April 2026: Law 1720 allowed small farms to be reclassified as medium property and used as collateral for bank loans – indigenous groups saw it as an assault on their land.

🚧 Mass protests erupted – transport workers, miners, teachers, coca growers, indigenous groups. The COB (Bolivian Workers' Central) called an indefinite national strike.

💥 Splits within the movement: Some want the decree repealed; others want the entire government to resign. A once‑united coalition is fracturing.

🚨🇦🇷🇨🇳🇺🇸 JUST IN: Argentina is rapidly dismantling its financial lifeline with China as pressure from Washington intensifies.

Reports say President Javier Milei is moving to fully repay the activated portion of Argentina’s currency swap deal with Beijing by mid-2026.

The swap balance reportedly collapsed from nearly $5 billion to just $675 million.

The move comes after growing pressure from the United States over Buenos Aires’ financial ties with China.

The China-Argentina currency swap had become one of Beijing’s most important footholds in Latin America,
helping Argentina survive years of economic instability and foreign reserve shortages.

But Milei has continued shifting Argentina closer toward Washington and Donald Trump.

Despite the repayments,
the broader China-Argentina swap framework still remains massive —
covering up to 130 billion yuan ($19 billion).

Behind the numbers,
a deeper geopolitical battle is unfolding across Latin America.

🇵🇭🇹🇼 JUST IN: Philippine President says the Philippines would likely be involved in any conflict over Taiwan because of its geographic proximity.

Speaking ahead of his Japan visit, Marcos said Manila does not want war over Taiwan, but “just looking at the map,” the northern Philippines would inevitably feel the effects of any confrontation.

He also pointed to the nearly 200,000 Filipinos currently working in Taiwan as a major concern.

The comments come amid rising regional tensions and continued maritime confrontations between China and the Philippines in disputed waters.

Military Stress Test: The War on Iran and BRICS Institutional Reform Combat injury or a disability?
Amid the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the all-out regional war that followed, BRICS finds itself at a crossroads. The fate of the organisation may be decided by the lessons it chooses to draw from the conflict, by its approach to resolving internal contradictions and providing member states with a sense of security in a dangerous world, writes Georgy Toloraya.  Read more »

🇮🇳🇪🇺 India is rapidly expanding its footprint across Northern Europe.

At the India-Nordic Summit in Oslo, PM Narendra Modi met leaders from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland to deepen cooperation on: Energy , Echnology, Defense, Trede, Security.

The timing is significant.
With the Ukraine war, Iran conflict and global tariff tensions disrupting energy markets and trade routes, Delhi is accelerating partnerships beyond its traditional allies.

India’s trade with Nordic nations reached $19B, while Nordic firms like Volvo, IKEA, Nokia, and ASML continue expanding inside India.

But one of the biggest long-term goals may be the Arctic.

India is quietly increasing its Arctic presence through scientific missions, shipping corridors, and strategic cooperation with Nordic states — partly to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence in the region.

The summit also comes after India signed major trade deals with both the EU and EFTA bloc, potentially unlocking $100B in investment over 15 years...
