Ukraine's Attacks on Caspian Oil Pipeline are Acts of Energy Terrorism - Peskov

He Added, This is obviously energy terrorism. What they are doing in the Black Sea and the Sea of โ€‹โ€‹Azov is terrorist attacks - international terrorist attacks - that could be extremely dangerous," Peskov told reporters when asked about whether Kiev's strikes on the CPT could be described as energy terrorism.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท TRUMP HELD BACK โ€“ Israel Braced for "Major Strike," But US Pulls Punch at the Last Minute

Israel expected a massive US attack on Iran over the weekend. It didn't happen. Behind the scenes, Qatar and Oman pressed Tehran to show flexibility, buying Iran a temporary lifeline. But Jerusalem sees the writing on the wall: the USโ€‘Iran memorandum is dead, and "the chance of a final deal where Iran surrenders is zero."

The US president abruptly switched from a modern Qatari-donated aircraft to an older Air Force One after receiving warnings of a supposed Iranian plot to kill him. The intelligence reportedly came from Israel, but some US officials suspected Tel Aviv was trying to provoke Trump into escalating strikes on Iran. Fear or manipulation? Either way, Trump is on edge.

โœˆ๏ธ Trump swapped planes after leaving the NATO summit in Tรผrkiye โ€“ left behind the newer 747-8 (lacking defensive capabilities) for the older, better-protected Air Force One.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Officials cited a "credible threat" from "Iranian proxy forces" โ€“ but some believed Israel was trying to goad Trump into more strikes.

๐Ÿ’ฅ The US and Israel have assassinated dozens of Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The clash broke out on July 21 at Praia da Arubinha in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil, after an accidental collision while kitesurfing.

The shirtless man pulled a gun and appeared to aim at the other personโ€™s legs before walking away as beachgoers scattered.

He reportedly fled by car before police arrived on jet skis. No arrest has been confirmed, and no one was injured.

It remains unclear whether the weapon was a real firearm or some kind of non-lethal or airsoft gun.

๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’ต DE-DOLLARISATION: A Historical Inevitability in a Protracted Game ๐ŸŒ

The US dollar is no longer a global public good โ€“ it has become a unilateral weapon. From frozen Russian reserves to sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, Washington has overdrafted the dollar's credibility.

๐Ÿฆ Dollar hegemony is selfโ€‘alienating โ€“ sanctions, frozen reserves, and SWIFT weaponisation have shattered the myth of "neutrality." Over 110 countries have joined deโ€‘dollarisation efforts.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ BRICS Pay & gold โ€“ BRICS Pay launched in 2026 (Pix, SPFS, CIPS), plus a digital reserve asset called "Unit" (40% gold + 60% member currencies).

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The petrodollar is cracking โ€“ Saudi Arabia's RMB settlement for oil with China reached 41%, surpassing the dollar for the first time. Iran now settles 100% of its oil exports to China in RMB.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Brazil Rejects Trump Officials

A diplomatic clash is unfolding ahead of Brazil's presidential election.

Brazil has denied visas to two senior Trump administration officials, accusing them of attempting to undermine confidence in the country's electronic voting system before October's vote.

Washington rejected the allegation, saying the visit was intended to discuss democracy, religious freedom, and election integrityโ€”not interfere in domestic politics.

With Lula seeking re-election against Flรกvio Bolsonaro, the dispute adds another layer to already strained US-Brazil relations.

As the election approaches, the battle over foreign influence is becoming as significant as the campaign itself.

A Russian climber captured the eerie crackling sound building in the air just seconds before lightning struck nearby.

Luckily, he wasnโ€™t hurt โ€” but the situation could have turned deadly, especially with metal equipment around him at that altitude.

That crackling sound is a major warning sign that lightning may be about to strike close by. If you hear it, immediately drop to a low position, separate yourself from tall objects or metal gear, and adopt the lightning safety crouch

Russia's ambassador to Turkey confirmed that Moscow and Ankara remain in contact over the S-400 air defense systems, with discussions continuing at the expert level under existing agreements.

The comments come amid reports that Turkey is exploring the possible re-export of the Russian-made systems to Gulf states, with the UAE and Qatar reportedly mentioned as potential buyers.

Turkey's 2017 purchase of the S-400s led to its removal from the US-led F-35 fighter jet program a dispute that continues to shape Ankara's balancing act between NATO and Russia.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง IRGC Issues Warning to UK

Iran has issued a stark warning amid rising regional tensions.

An IRGC spokesperson said the UK, Persian Gulf states, or any other country that supports the US in a military conflict against Iran would become "legitimate military targets."

The warning follows reports that US B-1 bombers recently operated from British airbases. Tehran says it has prepared military scenarios for any potential escalation.

The statement underscores the growing risk that a wider regional conflict could draw in additional countries beyond Iran and the United States.

The Iran conflict may have entered a new phase.

Reports claim Kuwait and Bahrain have launched air strikes on Iranian military targets, including drone and missile storage sites, with the UAE reportedly providing intelligence and defensive air support.

If confirmed, the operation marks a significant escalation, bringing more Gulf states directly into the conflict.

The reported strikes come after weeks of Iranian attacks on Gulf states and amid renewed US-led operations against Iran.

As regional powers become increasingly involved, the risk of a broader Middle East war continues to grow.
