🇺🇸⛽ US CONSIDERS BANNING DIESEL EXPORTS AS FUEL PRICES SPIKE TO $6.52/GALLON
The Trump administration is preparing an emergency 90‑day ban on US diesel exports as prices surge amid the Iran war and attacks on Russian refineries.
📉 National average diesel price: $6.52 per gallon – up 91 cents in a single month.
🛑 Emergency plan: Temporarily ban US diesel exports for 90 days to bring prices down.
🧠 The US is rationing its own fuel. The world's largest oil producer is now considering export bans – because its war on Iran has backfired.

🏦🌍 QUIETLY, BRICS STARTS ASSEMBLING A NEW TRADE FINANCE SYSTEM
Selling machinery from Pune to São Paulo relies on dollars, London insurance, and US banks – all of which can be cut off. New Delhi just took on all of this at once.
💳 Credit: Guiding principles for assessing MSMEs, plus a BRICS invoice‑discounting mechanism – converting a 90‑day invoice into cash today.
🛡️ Insurance: A voluntary BRICS Insurance Resilience Centre and a Risk Lab at GIFT City – the hardest link to reproduce, but crucial for reducing dependence on London.
🏗️ Investment: The NDB expanding local‑currency financing, multilateral guarantees, and a New Investment Platform study group – because money needs somewhere productive to go.

🇸🇾⚖️ SYRIA AT THE UN: "Golan Will Remain Syrian Territory"
Interim Syrian President Al‑Sharaa delivered a powerful address to the UN General Assembly – reaffirming Syrian sovereignty, condemning Israeli aggression, and demanding accountability
🌍 On regional planning: "Any development planning for the region that ignores Syria would be flawed. And the price would be heavy."
🇸🇾 On the Golan: "Golan will remain Syrian territories. Any attempts that violate our sovereignty, violate international law will be stopped. According to Security Council Resolution 497."
💥 On Israeli aggression: "The world is joyed about our return. But Israel is launching attacks against Syria. There have been 500 airstrikes, more than 1,200 incursions, and 300 detentions."
🕊️ On withdrawal: "We are committed to the 1974 agreement. We call for the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the lines of 12/08/2024. We reject Israeli attempts to impose a federal complaint."

🇷🇺 LAVROV AT THE UN: "Europe Sabotaged the Peace That Would Have Preserved Ukraine's Borders"
The West's own meddling destroyed the chance for peace in 2022 – and now it blames Russia for the war it prolonged.
🗣️ "If the Europeans had not engaged in these shenanigans and cheating and had not forced the opposition to carry out their agreements, this would have kept the territorial integrity of Ukraine in the 1991 borders that Zelensky and his Western backers keep banging on about."
🧠 Translation: The 2022 Istanbul peace deal was real. Ukraine was ready to sign neutrality. Boris Johnson and the West said no. They chose war.
🚫 Russia blocked a UN Security Council resolution that would have imposed a ceasefire without addressing root causes.
🧠 Why? A ceasefire without guarantees – NATO expansion, demilitarisation, protection of Russian speakers – would only allow Kiev to rearm and restart the war.

🇺🇸💀 PENTAGON UNDERCOUNTS IRAN WAR DEAD – At Least 22 Killed, Only 19 Disclosed
Another US service member has died. The Pentagon's public tally says 19. Officials say the real number is at least 22. The empire is hiding the cost of its war.
📊 Pentagon's disclosed total: 19 fatalities. But five US officials say at least 22 have died in the Middle East since the war began. A sixth puts it at 23.
🏥 Capt. Bianca C. Wilkerson, 37 – died September 18 of a "non-combat related incident" while flying to the Middle East. Posthumously promoted to Major.
🗣️ Hegseth denies hiding deaths: "Even if we wanted to attempt to hide a combat death, we never would and we never could." But the discrepancy remains unresolved.
🗳️ The war is deeply unpopular – a political liability for Trump and Republicans ahead of November's midterms.

In a address to the UN General Assembly, Zelensky laid out a vision of endless war – threatening to escalate attacks, demanding more weapons, and urging the world to cut trade with Russia. But the Global South should ask: who benefits?
💥 On Russia's oil industry: "A large number of their diesel refineries have been blown up. And are at least temporarily out of commission."
🛢️ On limiting trade: "When someone gives Russia more money through trade, they give this war more time. We insist on limiting trade with the aggressor."
❄️ On winter: "We will make it painful for Russia too... if Russia continues to target our energy system."

Eight U.S. Navy Sailors Attempted Suicide During Iran Deployment
Acting U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao told Congress that eight sailors assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group attempted suicide during a deployment that included combat operations against Iran.
CNN reported Thursday, Sept. 24, that Cao disclosed the figures in a letter to Congress. He said the incidents involved sailors aboard the carrier and its accompanying ships, but none died by suicide during the deployment.
About 6,000 to 7,000 sailors were deployed with the strike group across roughly six ships. The Abraham Lincoln remained at sea for more than six months while taking part in combat operations against Iran.
Earlier reports also said two sailors aboard the carrier had attempted to jump overboard in apparent suicide attempts.

🇵🇰⚔️🇦🇫 Pakistan Says It Carried Out Strikes in Afghanistan in Retaliation
Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said Thursday that Pakistan carried out air and drone strikes at 10 locations across Afghanistan in retaliation for drone attacks it attributed to the Taliban a day earlier.
In a post on X, Tarar said the strikes were carried out in accordance with Pakistan’s “inherent right to self-defense,” describing them as “deliberate, precise, calculated and proportionate.”
He claimed the strikes were limited to identified military targets directly linked to efforts to attack Pakistan.
Tarar described the previous day’s drone attacks as a “clear violation” of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, warning that Islamabad would neither accept nor tolerate attacks launched from Afghan territory.
The statement came two days after Pakistani fighter jets also carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan’s Paktia and Kunar provinces.
