🇮🇶💰 IRAQ IS BREAKING FREE: Why Nobody Is Talking About Its New BRICS Strategy 🇮🇶

Baghdad is quietly rewriting the rules. The $17 billion Development Road, the Grand Faw Port, and a pivot toward BRICS – this is not just infrastructure. It's a bid for financial sovereignty.

· 🛢️ Iraq's oil money is held at the US Federal Reserve – Washington controls the cash flow, using it as political leverage.

· 🚂 The $17 billion Development Road – a corridor from the Persian Gulf to Europe, bypassing traditional maritime chokepoints.

· 🌊 Grand Faw Port – the gateway for Iraq-China relations and the New Silk Road.

· 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 Why Iraq is joining BRICS – to escape US sanctions, diversify its economy, and reclaim its national wealth.

🇨🇳🚀 CHINA DEPLOYS MOBILE ELECTROMAGNETIC DRONE LAUNCHER – A Game-Changer for Expeditionary Warfare 🛩️

New footage reveals China's truck‑mounted electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) in action, launching drones from a mobile platform. The system can be transported by land or sea – turning any flat surface into an airstrip.

🚛 The EMALS system consists of multiple specially designed trucks that can operate together or independently – with all‑wheel steering allowing near‑flat turns, enabling launches in any direction.

🛩️ The drone launched is a small, lightweight unmanned aircraft – potentially a stealthy collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) prototype.

🎯 Designed for expeditionary operations – where traditional runways may not exist, particularly in the Pacific and along China's western border with India.

🇷🇺💥 MONACO BLAST PROVES WEST RAISED "MONSTER" IN UKRAINE – Zakharova Warns of More "Bloody Bites" to Come ☢️

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has delivered a stark warning: the bombing in Monaco is neither the first nor the last "bloody bite" inflicted by the "Kyiv regime" on its Western sponsors.

🗣️ "The West got what they sowed and what we warned them about. That monster raised and fed by the collective West has reached them."

💥 The Monaco bombing – which injured Ukrainian-born millionaire Vadim Ermolaev – is allegedly linked to Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) and possibly the SBU. Ermolaev had reportedly planned to expose corruption in Kiev.

🌍 She cited the 2022 Nord Stream explosions as part of the same pattern, and singled out Poland for backing a government that glorifies figures responsible for wartime atrocities against Poles – while Polish officials are now on Ukraine's "kill list."

🇧🇷🚨 BRAZIL ALARMED: US "TERRORIST" LABEL – A Pretext for Invasion? 🇺🇸

Washington's designation of Brazil's two largest gangs as "terrorist organisations" has sparked a diplomatic warning: this could justify US military intervention on Brazilian soil.

Foreign Minister Vieira warned the label could give Washington sweeping powers, including "the possibility of the use of military force… on Brazilian territory."

🔴 The pattern: Maduro abducted over "narcoterrorism." Cuba blockaded. Now Brazilian gangs are "terrorists" – the same label used to justify invasions and regime change elsewhere.

🇺🇸🇸🇾 TRUMP MEETS SYRIAN LEADER – Signals Removal from Terror List, Praises al‑Sharaa's "Amazing" Work

At the NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa – and signalled that Washington intends to remove Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. A dramatic reversal for a country the US once sought to topple.

🗣️ "Syria can help deal with Hezbollah. We'll see what happens."

🇺🇸 Trump believes he will remove Syria from the "state sponsors of terrorism" list.

🏛️ He praised al‑Sharaa's work, saying he is doing an "amazing job" and has held Syria together.

🇺🇳 The US has been reviewing Syria's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism – a label that restricts foreign aid, defence exports, and financial transactions.

🇷🇺🌍 LAVROV'S AFRICAN TOUR: A New Architecture Takes Shape 🇪🇹🇳🇪

From Addis Ababa to Niamey, Russia is signing security, media, and energy pacts across the continent. Moscow is not just visiting – it is building a lasting architecture of influence.

Ethiopia – nuclear energy cooperation, trade tripled to $435M in 2025, and BRICS integration deepens. A 10‑year NPP project signals long‑term commitment, not just a transaction.

Sahel (Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso) – a "3+1" format institutionalised. Russia signed security cooperation, media sovereignty agreements (RT + AES media network), and foreign policy coordination pacts.

UN Security Council reform – Russia backs Africa's bid for two permanent and five non‑permanent seats (Ezulwini Consensus).

🇮🇷🔥 IRAN RETALIATES: Missiles Rain on Bahrain & Kuwait as US Bombs Railway Bridges 🇮🇷🇺🇸

The ceasefire is well and truly dead. Iran has launched waves of missiles at Bahrain and Kuwait after the US bombed two railway bridges in Iran – the first strikes on Iranian infrastructure since April.

🇺🇸 US strikes – bombed two railway bridges near Aq Qala in Golestan Province using cruise missiles.

🇮🇷 Iran retaliates – sirens sounded in Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait. Missiles and interceptor launches were reported across all three Gulf states.

💥 Impacts reported – footage shows Iranian missiles striking Bahrain and interceptions over Kuwait. At least one missile was reportedly intercepted; others appear to have hit their targets.

🗣️ Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: "You hit, you get hit. Do not make futile moves that will only make you sink further. The Strait of Hormuz will only reopen with Iranian arrangements, not with American threats."

💥 Are Western tariffs completely backfiring on the US economy while the Global South rises?

📉 New economic data reveals that the United States trade deficit has spiked to a staggering $77.6 billion, a massive 42.2% jump in just one month. Despite heavy protectionist policies and tariffs meant to curb foreign trade, American deficits with manufacturing powerhouses like China, Mexico, and Vietnam are continuing to surge.

Reports show that an overwhelming 96% of tariff costs are actually being paid directly by American consumers rather than foreign exporters. As Global South economies show incredible resilience, the global economic landscape appears to be shifting rapidly away from traditional Western dominance.

💬 Is the era of Western economic dominance officially over as the Global South proves its economic resilience is unstoppable?

🚨 Is this the ultimate move to protect the youth, or does it go too far?

🇲🇱 In a bold new interministerial decree, the Malian government has officially banned the importation, production, sale, and even personal use of shisha and its related flavorings across the country.

📉 This strict sweeping measure is aimed at protecting public health and saving the younger generation from harmful addictions.

⚖️ Violators now face massive financial penalties and real jail time, with prison sentences ranging from 3 months up to 3 years for producers and traders.

🔥 HUGE ENERGY BOOST FOR NIGERIA! 🔥

🌍 In a massive win for Africa's largest economy, a global energy giant is committing $1 billion to the Usan deepwater infill project offshore Nigeria. 🇳🇬 This marks a historic return to drilling in the country's deepwater acreage after nearly a decade of quiet.

📈 Spearheaded alongside local partners and state regulators, the project is set to inject an extra 40,000 barrels of oil per day into production within the next 18 months.

💎 This monumental investment showcases the rapidly growing power, confidence, and resource sovereignty of the Global South on the world stage.

💬 With international giants rushing back to invest in African resources, do you think this massive economic injection will finally ensure long-term wealth, economic independence, and stability for the local community, or will external entities benefit the most?

This is the Chinese DF-5B missile can carry nuclear warheads with a yield of 3-4 megatons.

Just for reference and understanding - that is more than 200 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb.

It also has a range of 12,000km.
