🇹🇼 BREAKING:

Taiwan’s political parties remain deadlocked over a major plan to expand the island’s military drone capabilities, delaying efforts to strengthen unmanned warfare.

The ruling DPP has proposed a five-year NT$210 billion (US$7.1 billion) special budget to procure more than 200,000 domestically produced drones and unmanned surface vessels. Opposition parties support expanding drone forces but want the funding to go through the regular annual budget, arguing it would improve legislative oversight and flexibility.

Analysts warn the political dispute could slow Taiwan’s military modernization and delay efforts to counter growing pressure from China.

🇺🇸🇮🇶 BREAKING:

The United States has reportedly halted a shipment of around US$500 million in physical cash to Iraq and suspended parts of its security cooperation with Baghdad, according to Iraqi sources cited by Reuters.

The move is said to be aimed at pressuring the Iraqi government over repeated attacks by Iran-backed militias on U.S. facilities and regional allies. The suspension affects only physical U.S. dollar shipments used for retail foreign exchange, while electronic dollar transfers for trade and imports remain unaffected.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved a satellite designed to reflect sunlight onto nighttime areas — despite criticism from astronomers and environmentalists.

Reflect Orbital’s Eärendil-1 satellite will carry an 18-meter-wide reflector into low Earth orbit, where it will test directing sunlight toward specific locations for several minutes at a time.

The 142-kilogram spacecraft is expected to launch later this year.

The company says the technology could make clean energy available on demand.

Fancy ordering a few extra minutes of daylight?

🇺🇸📉 US GENERAL WARNS PENTAGON: "LACKING FORCES TO PROTECT ISRAEL" – Empire's Overstretch Exposed 🇺🇸🇮🇱

The commander of US European Command has privately warned that he lacks sufficient naval forces to continue protecting Israel from Iranian ballistic missiles – and would be forced to prioritise the US homeland instead.

General Alexus Grynkewich's written notification to the Pentagon, obtained by the Washington Post, reveals that without another Navy destroyer, he would be forced to make "difficult choices" about where to deploy the US military's most precious asset: its naval missile defence force.

🚢 Destroyer shortage – US destroyers in the Mediterranean are critical to Israel's defence. Without additional ships, the general would prioritise US homeland defence over Israel.

💥 Iran war has drained US supplies – near‑daily attacks have exhausted key defensive weapons. The Navy is already running a blockade of Iranian ports.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 TRUMP: "WE CAN TAKE WHATEVER WE WANT" FROM UKRAINE – A Minerals Deal Dressed Up as "Support" 🇺🇸🇺🇦

The US president just admitted what the minerals deal was always about: not partnership, not reconstruction – extraction. "We have a contract signed... We can go in there at any time we want and take pretty much whatever we want."

🗣️ "We have a contract signed with Ukraine having to do with rare earth. We can go in there at any time we want and take pretty much whatever we want."

💰 Trump framed the 2025 deal as a way to pay back US military aid – claiming it could exceed $300 billion (widely disputed; the actual figure is ~$195B).

🇺🇦 Ukraine retains formal ownership and 50% of profits – but Washington holds preferential access to lithium, titanium, graphite, and uranium.

🇾🇪⚡ HOUTHIS CLAIM EIGHT SAUDI OIL TANKERS REROUTED – Blockade Bites as Red Sea Pressure Mounts 🇸🇦🌊

The Houthis' "siege for siege" policy is having real-world impact: eight Saudi oil tankers have reportedly altered course and are sailing via the Cape of Good Hope – a massive detour that adds thousands of miles and significant costs to Saudi oil exports.

🛢️ Eight Saudi oil tankers changed their routes to avoid Houthi attacks, taking the long way around Africa instead of the Red Sea.

🚢 The blockade continues – the Houthis vow to target any Saudi-linked vessels they can intercept.

🇾🇪 Praise for public support – the group thanked Yemenis for large gatherings despite heavy rainfall, pledging to continue the fight to end the "siege imposed on Yemen."

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is being squeezed on its own shipping lanes – the same lanes it has used to blockade Yemen for years.

🛢️ GLOBAL OIL'S THREE PILLARS – A New Energy Order Emerges from the Hormuz Crisis

🔴 Column 1: The US – "Pushing-Out Supplier"

🇺🇸 Net crude exporter for first time since 1943 – 5.6M barrels/day in May.

🛢️ "Tap-water war" – Trump treats strikes as a controllable lever to influence prices.

💵 High prices make US shale profitable – new projects now viable.

🎯 Europe captured – nearly 50% of US crude exports now go there.

🔴 Column 2: OPEC+ – Under Siege

📉 Lost the UAE – Abu Dhabi left OPEC, pumping 3.8M bpd independently.

🧠 Controls <40% of global production – influence is crumbling.

🔴 Column 3: China – The Silent Giant

🏦 1.2B barrels of reserves built before the crisis.

📉 Cut imports by 13M tonnes in May – using reserves, not panic.

🇨🇳 No US oil/LNG imports for over a year – strategic decoupling.

A Russian civilian container ship carrying frozen foods and construction materials was sunk by Ukrainian drones in international waters. Rosatom's CEO calls it "piracy and maritime banditry." The West is silent.

🇮🇷🔱 THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE STRIKES BACK: How Iran Secretly Planned to "Raise the War's Costs" for Trump 🇺🇸🇮🇷

The New York Times just revealed the covert strategy Iran developed during the fleeting April ceasefire: a step-by-step plan to use its proxy network to escalate attacks across the Middle East – and make the war as costly as possible for President Trump.

🎯 "The rules of the conflict are changing" – Iranian generals held virtual conference calls with Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iraqi militias, devising a coordinated strategy to multiply fronts and stretch US defences.

🛢️ Targeting oil – Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities, tanker strikes in Egypt, and the Red Sea blockade are all part of a plan to drive up gas prices, hurt US voters ahead of the midterms, and reduce revenue for Washington's Arab allies.

🧠 Iran's calculus – Tehran believes its neighbours are vulnerable. The goal: force concessions by "twisting the arm" of Saudi Arabia and others.

🇺🇦📉 ZELENSKY'S TROOP DEATH TOLL MOVES BACKWARD – 50,000 Dead Claimed, Down From 55,000 Six Months Ago 🇺🇦

Ukraine's president offered a new estimate of military losses during his Washington visit: "about 50,000 soldiers killed." That's 5,000 fewer than the figure he gave just six months ago. Meanwhile, Russian estimates put Ukrainian casualties far higher.

☠️ "About 50,000 soldiers killed" and "about 400,000 wounded" – plus a "huge number" of troops who have simply "disappeared."

📉 The number went down – from 55,000 in February to 50,000 now.

🧠 He claimed he didn't want to be "very open" about losses to avoid revealing the true state of the Ukrainian army to Moscow.
