🇮🇶🇸🇾🇺🇸 Iraq, Syria & US Plan Pipeline to Bypass Hormuz – A Direct Challenge to Iran's Chokepoint
A historic 500‑mile pipeline from Kirkuk to Syria's Mediterranean coast is set to be revived, aiming to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and reduce Iran's leverage over global oil flows.
🛢️ Pipeline to be revived – from Kirkuk (Iraq) to Baniyas (Syria), capacity ~300,000 barrels per day. Shut in the 1980s, heavily damaged after 2003, now set for replacement over 2‑3 years.
🇺🇸 US firms already enlisted – a consortium of American companies to handle reconstruction. Ambassador Tom Barrack has been working on the details.
🏛️ Agreement expected next week – when Iraqi PM Ali al‑Zaidi meets Trump at the White House. Syria's foreign minister is also expected to visit for the signing.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 "SOBER UP" – Polish PM Tells Kiev as Nazi Collaborator Row Escalates
Tensions between Warsaw and Kiev have reached a new peak. Polish PM Donald Tusk urges Ukraine to "sober up" and recognise the crimes committed by the UPA against Poles during WWII, or risk further damage to ties.
🔴 What Tusk said:
🗣️ "I can appeal to all decent, wise, responsible Ukrainians. The truth is an absolutely necessary foundation of reconciliation."
🧠 The row "has gone too far and is harming both Poland and Ukraine."
🔥 Warned against "nationalist lunatics" on both sides – and vowed to act with "the full force of law" against anyone who commits crimes against Ukrainians on ethnic grounds.

A man was nearly sucked out of "detached" window on a Ryanair flight.
The plane was headed to Germany from Greece, luckily passengers jumped into action and pulled the man from getting sucked out the window.
Authorities stated that the window shattered after a piece of debris from the plane's engine hit it.
The plane returned and landed safely - no one else was injured in the ordeal.

🇪🇺 Slovakia will NOT participate in NATO's €70 billion military assistance package for Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 Rubio Emerges as Washington's Point Man on Venezuela.
The US now reportedly overseeing some of the most important decisions shaping Venezuela's future.
According to The New York Times, Marco Rubio has taken a leading role in managing US policy toward Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year.
The report says Rubio's responsibilities now extend to sanctions policy, public finances, the energy sector, foreign investment, and economic assistance.
He is also reportedly in regular contact with acting Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez and has been involved in discussions over government appointments and sanctions exemptions.
Washington says its goal is to help Venezuela return to stability and democracy.
Critics argue the arrangement gives the US unprecedented influence over the country's internal affairs.
As Venezuela rebuilds after devastating earthquakes and political upheaval, one question remains:
Where does assistance end and influence begin?

🇶🇦 Qatar Mourns the Passing of Its "Father Emir."
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the leader who transformed Qatar into a global power, has died at the age of 74.
Ruling from 1995 to 2013, Sheikh Hamad oversaw Qatar's rise from a small Gulf state into one of the world's leading energy exporters and diplomatic players.
His era saw the launch of Al Jazeera in 1996, the adoption of Qatar's first permanent constitution, political reforms including municipal elections, and the country's emergence as a major international actor.
He also laid the foundations for Qatar's successful hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a milestone that elevated the country's global profile.
In 2013, he made history by voluntarily handing power to his son, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in one of the rare peaceful abdications in the modern Gulf.
His legacy continues to shape Qatar and the wider Middle East.

🇺🇸 The United States has lost one of its most influential Republican voices.
US Senator and close Donald Trump ally Lindsey Graham has died at the age of 71 following what his office described as a "brief and sudden illness."
First elected to Congress in 1994 and to the Senate in 2002, Graham became a leading figure in Republican foreign policy and national security debates. He later emerged as one of Trump's closest political allies in Washington.
A strong supporter of Israel and a vocal advocate of a hardline stance on Iran, Graham played a major role in shaping US foreign policy discussions for decades.
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster called him "irreplaceable," while Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was a "true leader" of the US-Israel partnership.

A new experimental technique nicknamed the 'molecular jackhammer' is showing remarkable results against cancer in laboratory studies.
Researchers from Rice University, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas developed a method that uses aminocyanine molecules activated by near-infrared light. The molecules vibrate at around 40 trillion times per second, physically tearing apart cancer cell membranes.
The approach destroyed 99% of cancer cells in lab cultures. In mouse studies, about half of the animals with melanoma became cancer-free
Scientists say the technique could offer a new way to fight cancer without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. However, the research is still in the laboratory and animal-testing stage, and clinical trials in humans will be needed to determine whether it is safe and effective

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump Reportedly Changed Air Force One Over Iran Threat Concerns.
The alleged threat was considered questionable but not enough to ignore.
According to The Wall Street Journal, US intelligence officials received information from Israel claiming that Iran was plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump following recent tensions in the Middle East.
The report says US officials did not view the intelligence as fully credible. However, security concerns were serious enough for Trump to reportedly avoid using the newer Air Force One aircraft gifted by Qatar's royal family and instead return from the NATO summit in Turkey aboard an older presidential jet.
Officials were reportedly concerned that the newer aircraft lacked some of the defensive systems installed on the traditional Air Force One fleet.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has publicly commented on the alleged threat.
Was this simply a precaution or a sign of how seriously Washington is treating potential retaliation risks?

🇨🇳🇷🇺 CHINA AND RUSSIA JUST CROSSED A NEW MILITARY THRESHOLD.
For the first time ever, Chinese and Russian submarines operated side by side during the Joint Sea-2026 exercises in the Yellow Sea.
This matters.
Submarines are the most secretive assets in any navy.
Their acoustic signatures, communication methods, and tactical behavior are among the closest guarded military secrets on Earth.
Yet Beijing and Moscow brought them together underwater.
China deployed its indigenous Type-039B submarine.
Russia sent the upgraded Kilo-class Ufa.
The drills included submarine rescue missions, missile defense, anti-air warfare, and coordinated strike operations.
The message is clear:
China-Russia military cooperation is no longer limited to the surface.
The partnership is moving beneath the waves.
And the Indo-Pacific security equation may never look the same again.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Vance Could Face Political Fallout Over US-Iran Deal.
Washington's vice president may become the face of a diplomatic failure if the ceasefire collapses.
According to Politico, Vice President J.D. Vance played a central role in negotiations that led to the Islamabad Memorandum between the United States and Iran.
With tensions rising again and both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement, some officials believe Vance could ultimately shoulder the political blame if the deal falls apart.
Critics argue the memorandum left several major issues unresolved, including the future of the Strait of Hormuz and the terms of a Lebanon ceasefire, making future disputes almost inevitable.
The report says many Republicans worry that if renewed conflict triggers higher energy prices or economic disruption, public criticism could increasingly focus on the White House's diplomatic strategy—and on Vance himself.
For now, the future of the agreement remains uncertain.
