๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ STRIKES ACROSS THE GULF: Kuwait Hit, Iran Bombed, US Carriers on the Move

Unconfirmed reports of explosions in Kuwait and Iran โ€“ as US strikes target IRGC positions around the Strait of Hormuz. The war is not over. It is entering a new, more dangerous phase.

ยท ๐Ÿ’ฅ Kuwait hit โ€“ "criminal aggressive attack" on three northern land border centres; an offshore drilling platform targeted by a hostile drone (one worker injured). Iranian sources claim US ATACMS systems were stationed there.

ยท ๐Ÿ’ฅ Iran struck โ€“ US strikes on missile and air defence systems and IRGC small boats around the Strait; explosions reported in Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Abu Musa Island.

ยท ๐Ÿ’ฅ US carriers deploy closer โ€“ two aircraft carriers in the region; one positioned 300km south of Iranian coasts. A clear shift from the first phase of the war.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿšซ WHY IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS CLOSED?

The US tried to break Iran's control of the Strait. They failed. Now the waterway is completely shut โ€“ and the empire's bases in Qatar and Oman are now legitimate targets.

ยท ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The US violated the ceasefire memorandum (Article 5) by activating a "southern corridor" with Qatar and Gulf states โ€“ bypassing Iranian management of the Strait.

ยท ๐Ÿšข Iran attacked violating vessels. CENTCOM struck southern Iran. Iran retaliated against US targets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.

ยท ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Diplomacy (Araghchi's Oman visit) failed โ€“ due to US pressure and Qatari interference.

ยท ๐Ÿ’ฅ Iran has now announced the COMPLETE CLOSURE of the Strait of Hormuz โ€“ and expanded defensive operations to include US bases and logistics in Oman and Qatar.

โšก Iran's message to the Gulf:

"Respect your sovereignty โ€“ and do not allow the US to use your territory to attack Iran."

Federal agents delivered subpoenas to journalists' homes after the NYT published an article questioning the safety of Trump's $400 million Qatariโ€‘donated presidential jet. The administration is demanding sources โ€“ and the paper calls it an "extraordinary escalation."

๐Ÿ“„ NYT article claimed Trump's new "flying palace" lacks standard antiโ€‘missile defences โ€“ and that Secret Service urged him to swap back to the old plane midโ€‘flight.

๐Ÿšจ FBI official asked the paper to spike the story on national security grounds โ€“ and pressed for sources.

Salgadoโ€™s family claims he believed he was being followed by criminals and would have stopped immediately if he knew it was law enforcement.

He had lived in the United States for 35 years with no criminal record and was actively working to secure legal status.

๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ” WHY IS STALIN BEING REHABILITATED? The Man of Steel Returns

From Stalingrad's airport renaming to new monuments โ€“ the Russian state is strategically reviving Stalin's legacy. This is not nostalgia. It is a geopolitical signal.

In this Think BRICS Chronicles documentary:

๐Ÿญ Industrialisation as sovereignty โ€“ Stalin's rapid modernisation is being reframed as a blueprint for surviving permanent sanctions.

๐ŸŒ Message to the Global South โ€“ a nation can achieve military victory and economic independence without Western integration.

๐Ÿง  Cold War 2.0 โ€“ Sovietโ€‘style mobilisation is being revisited as Russia prepares for a long confrontation.

๐Ÿ“Š The numbers โ€“ literacy rates and life expectancy under Stalin skyrocketed. The CIA studied his absolute dictatorship in 1972 โ€“ and took notes.

"The winds of history are shifting โ€“ and the Kremlin is using Stalin's shadow to chart its course."

Tehran has announced an indefinite closure of the Strait of Hormuz โ€“ and struck US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The message: the era of one-sided deals is OVER.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking."

๐Ÿ“œ The IRGC closed the strait after the third wave of US strikes this week โ€“ targeting ships using a route "illegally designated" by Washington.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ๐ŸŒ THE WORLD'S OIL ARTERY IS UNDER PRESSURE AGAIN.

Brent crude jumped more than 4% as the US and Iran exchanged strikes over the Strait of Hormuz.

The market reaction was immediate.

Because Hormuz isn't just another waterway.

Nearly 20% of global oil trade passes through this narrow corridor every single day.

Shipping traffic is already slowing.

Before the crisis, around 130 vessels crossed daily.

Now, only a handful are making the journey.

Energy traders are watching.

Markets are nervous.

Asian stocks are sliding.

And countries thousands of miles away are already feeling the impact at the pump.

The battle over Hormuz is no longer just a regional conflict.

It is becoming a global economic event.

Who controls the world's energy lifeline may determine the next phase of this crisis.

Erosion from Within: Permanent Coercion and Functional Hollowing Out of Rules-Based Multilateralism
Debates on global governance are usually framed in terms of institutional collapse or systemic breakdown. However, this diagnosis misses a more subtle but far more significant symptomโ€”its mutation. The contemporary international order is not abandoning multilateralism; rather, it is undergoing a structural transformation from within. Its formal institutions created after 1945 remain in place, but their regulatory capacity is systematically hollowed out by the very great powers that are meant to...  Read more ยป

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโš ๏ธ IRAN HAS A MESSAGE FOR THE GULF:

Do not become the battlefield.

Tehran warned Gulf states against allowing their territory to be used as a launchpad for US military operations against Iran.

The statement came after Iranian missiles and drones targeted US military facilities across the region.

Jordan.

Kuwait.

Qatar.

Bahrain.

Oman.

Iran insists the strikes were not attacks on its neighbors.

They were attacks on American military assets.

And Tehran says any country that allows its territory to be used for operations against Iran risks becoming part of the conflict.

The war is no longer confined to Washington and Tehran.

The entire Gulf security architecture is being tested in real time.

The question now is no longer whether the region will be affected.

But how much.

How BRICS Can Move Towards Global Governance
In an international system that is experiencing a period of transition and shifts in the global pecking order, the BRICS organisation may emerge as the next fully-fledged global governance institution. To achieve this ambitious end, the group must steer clear of traditional self-centred great power politics that characterise Western-led blocs, writes Timofei Bordachev, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.  Read more ยป

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ CHINA AND PAKISTAN MAY BE BUILDING SOMETHING BIGGER THAN A PARTNERSHIP.

Not an alliance.

Not a bloc.

Something more flexible.

Beijing and Islamabad are quietly testing what some analysts call "China-Pakistan Plus."

Afghanistan.

Bangladesh.

The Gulf.

The partnership is expanding beyond bilateral ties into selective regional cooperation.

China brings economic weight and diplomatic influence.

Pakistan brings geography, access to the Islamic world, and regional leverage.

CPEC is no longer just a corridor.

It is being positioned as a platform.

The goal isn't to replace existing institutions.

It's to build smaller, faster, and more adaptable networks.

The question is no longer whether China and Pakistan are cooperating.

It's how many countries may eventually orbit around that cooperation.
