🇮🇷💥 IRAN'S BLUNT MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: “Join the US Campaign – Become an Enemy”

Tehran has drawn a clear line: any country that participates in Washington's economic war against Iran will be considered a hostile target – and the response will be "seismic."

🗣️ An Iranian official warned that any country joining the US campaign will be considered an enemy – and "If they do not act, we will strike. We will target that country’s interest."

🛢️ Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has "increased by 400% over the past two weeks." The US Navy is assisting some vessels to take a safer route south of the strait.

🇸🇾🇮🇱 SYRIA AND ISRAEL MOVE TO DEFUSE TENSIONS – But the Empire's "De‑escalation" is a Farce

High‑level Syrian and Israeli officials met on Sunday to lower the temperature after an Israeli airstrike on a Syrian airbase. But the underlying reality is clear: Israel strikes at will, Turkey is threatened, and the US plays "mediator" while its allies act with impunity.

🔴 What Axios reports:

🕊️ Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al‑Shaibani met with Mossad Director Roman Gofman – a rare high‑level contact aimed at de‑escalation.

💥 The trigger: Israeli airstrikes on Abu al‑Duhur airbase (August 18) – Israel claimed it was preventing a Turkish military buildup.

🇩🇪🇪🇺 AFD TO PULL GERMANY FROM EUROZONE & SCHENGEN – The Empire is Unravelling from Within

Alice Weidel, co‑chair of Germany's AfD, has confirmed the party's plans to withdraw from the eurozone and abolish the Schengen Agreement if it comes to power.

💶 "Germany was much better off before the introduction of the euro." The weak euro is impoverishing working Germans.

🚫 "We will withdraw from the Schengen Agreement" – closing borders to stop uncontrolled migration.

🛫 "All the Syrians will be returned to their homeland" – and Afghanis will no longer be brought in by planes.

🇮🇷🎬 IRAN'S FM TO TRUMP: “We've Seen This Movie Before – We Know How It Ends”

Washington's latest sanctions are a "recurring scenario" – and Tehran is not impressed.

🔴 What Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said (to Jamaran agency):

🎥 "The economic sanctions Trump is talking about are a recurring scenario and the same familiar rudeness of American politics. It's a movie we've seen many times before, and we know how to deal with it."

🛡️ The US is in a state of desperation – the only way out is "engaging in a respectful dialogue with the Iranian people."

💪 Tehran is confident: the new anti-Iranian course is doomed to failure, like all previous attempts.

Spanish outlet El País interviewed Wafae Atid about how hard and oppressive her life is in Morocco — enough to drive her to Ceuta seeking refuge.

Wafae eagerly explains to camera how restricted her life is, including difficulties traveling and studying.

Except her own social media pages paint a rather different picture: she has traveled extensively, studied in Dubai and received a solid education.

So this poor oppressed girl somehow has more passport stamps than half the internet. Peak MSM agenda

🇮🇷 IRAN TIGHTENS ITS GRIP ON THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ – Non‑Compliant Vessels Face Seizure

Tehran is turning its wartime leverage into a permanent legal regime. The new rules are immediate and binding.

🔴 What the Iranian Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) announced:

📜 Vessels violating Hormuz protocols will face fines, detention, or confiscation.

🛑 Cargo owners are now required to check the "Non‑Compliant Vessels" list before chartering ships to or from the Gulf.

⛓️ Any vessel cooperating with a listed ship (even via ship‑to‑ship transfers) will also be added to the list.

The measures take effect immediately, tightening Iran's control over all commercial traffic.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 ZELENSKY BEGS FOR PATRIOTS – But the US Has None to Spare

Kyiv is asking for 5% of America's remaining Patriot inventory to survive the winter – but the war with Iran has drained Washington's stocks.

🗣️ Zelensky told Pence that 5% of US Patriot missiles "would get them through the winter months."

💥 The problem: the Iran war has depleted US missile stocks – production cannot solve the immediate shortage.

🇰🇷 Pence suggested South Korea could "step forward" with interceptors – but Seoul is currently at odds with Trump over military drills and Iran policy.

🇷🇺💥 PUTIN: TUSK'S NORD STREAM OUTRAGE IS ABOUT MONEY, NOT MORALS

Poland's prime minister is "shocked" by the sabotage – but Russia's president says his real concern is lost transit revenue.

💰 Tusk's position is motivated by "economic expediency" – Poland lost out on transit fees when Nord Stream was built.

🗺️ The original plan included a pipeline through Poland – but the decision was made to run both lines along the Baltic seabed to "minimise risks."

🇵🇱 Warsaw opposed this because it would "lose certain economic advantages as a transit country" – and revenue from Russian hydrocarbons.

🇵🇰🇮🇷🇺🇸🇴🇲 Pakistan is stepping back into the Iran–US crisis.

Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is heading to Tehran for his third visit this yearwhile Washington prepares a new round of sanctions and the Islamabad mediation track remains stalled.

Pakistan says it can help reopen a channel between Tehran and Washington.

But the real test is the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran wants the US blockade lifted, sanctions eased and military threats ended before reopening the strait.

Munir’s mission could now determine whether diplomacy gets another chance or the region moves toward another cycle of escalation.

And Oman’s upcoming Tehran visit could be the next piece of the puzzle.

Pakistan isn’t just mediating.

It may be carrying the region’s next off-ramp.

🇦🇲🇪🇺 Armenia is moving closer to the EU.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan says Yerevan will soon begin the formal process of applying for EU membership.

But the move could put Armenia on a collision course with the Eurasian Economic Union.

Moscow has warned that EU integration would mean ending Armenia’s cooperation with the EAEU and losing its associated benefits.

The next major question: Will Armenia choose Brussels or remain tied to the Russia-led economic bloc?

The decision could reshape Armenia’s geopolitical position in the South Caucasus.
