🇮🇷🚫 IRAN CLOSES STRAIT OF HORMUZ – Top Negotiator: "US Paying the Price for Not Keeping Its Word"
Tehran has announced an indefinite closure of the Strait of Hormuz – and struck US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The message: the era of one-sided deals is OVER.
🔴 What Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf said:
🗣️ "The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking."
📜 The IRGC closed the strait after the third wave of US strikes this week – targeting ships using a route "illegally designated" by Washington.
🇺🇸 The US struck Iran after Tehran targeted a Cyprus‑flagged container ship in the strait.

🛢️🌍 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 symptom—its mutation.

🇮🇷⚠️ 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.

🇨🇳🇵🇰 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.

🌎 Graham ans others propose a 500% tariff bill targeting nations trading with Russia. This policy weaponizes American market access against the Global South.
📈 Will this aggressive measure backfire? Secondary tariffs often force nations to build alternative financial networks independent of Western systems.

A bonfire topped with a replica mosque was set alight in Northern Ireland despite a police operation aimed at removing the display beforehand.
The structure, built for Eleventh Night celebrations ahead of the annual July 12 Orange Order parades, featured a model mosque bearing the words "Islamic fascism," along with anti-immigration banners and other political displays.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland described the display as a hate-motivated incident and launched an operation to remove it before the bonfire was lit. A 56-year-old man has since been charged with stirring up hatred.
Supporters of the display said it was intended as a protest against illegal immigration and radical Islam

🇦🇿🇷🇺 THE MOSCOW-BAKU RESET IS COMPLETE.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev says the difficult period in relations with Russia is now over.
"Relations have returned to full normalization."
The statement marks one of the clearest signals yet that the turbulence between Moscow and Baku has passed.
Communication has resumed across all levels:
Presidential offices.
Foreign ministries.
Government agencies.
Economic commissions.
For both countries, the stakes extend beyond diplomacy.
Transport corridors.
Trade routes.
Energy flows.
Regional stability in the Caucasus.
As Eurasian connectivity becomes increasingly important, neither Moscow nor Baku appears willing to let strategic disagreements define the relationship.
The message from Shusha was simple:
The reset is complete.

🇩🇿🇲🇱 ALGERIA AND MALI HAVE ENDED THEIR DIPLOMATIC FREEZE.
After more than a year of tensions triggered by a disputed drone incident near their shared border, Algiers and Bamako are restoring relations.
Ambassadors are returning.
Airspace is reopening.
Diplomatic channels are back online.
The dispute had spilled beyond two countries, pulling in Niger and Burkina Faso through the Alliance of Sahel States.
Now the region appears to be moving in the opposite direction.
Toward coordination.
Toward connectivity.
And potentially toward projects like the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline.
For the Sahel, this is bigger than diplomacy.
It is another sign that regional powers are trying to solve regional problems on their own terms.

🇺🇸🌍 TRUMP WANTS AMERICA TO BECOME THE "GUARDIAN OF HORMUZ."
And charge tolls for it.
The US president says Washington will restore its naval blockade of Iran and oversee security in the Strait of Hormuz.
His proposal:
A 20% fee on cargo moving through the world's most important energy chokepoint.
Tehran rejected the idea immediately.
Iran insists no foreign power will control the strait.
And warned that any outside interference in its management would cross a red line.
This is bigger than a dispute over shipping lanes.
Nearly 20% of global oil trade moves through Hormuz.
Control of the strait means influence over energy markets, global trade, and geopolitical leverage.
The battle for Hormuz is becoming a battle over who writes the rules of the Gulf.

🇷🇺⚡ PUTIN HAS A MESSAGE FOR KIEV:
Every strike on Russian territory will be answered.
"Several times more powerfully."
The warning comes as Ukraine intensifies drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and civilian areas.
Moscow says the campaign is designed to offset setbacks on the battlefield.
The Kremlin's response has been clear:
Escalation will be met with escalation.
Putin also argued that sanctions and Western pressure have failed to weaken Russia's long-term position.
Instead, he says, Russia is expanding defense production, strengthening its economy, and increasing military output.
Meanwhile, Russian forces continue advancing on multiple fronts.
The message from Moscow is simple:
The war is entering a new phase of retaliation.
And both sides appear prepared for a longer fight.
