🇪🇺 EU SEEKS NATO-STYLE RESPONSE TO RUSSIAN HYBRID ATTACKS

EU defense ministers are discussing an "Emergency Security Protocol" – modeled on NATO's Article 4 – to respond to drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks.

📜 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed the protocol in her State of the Union speech, framing it as Europe's own version of NATO's Article 4, which allows a member to call for allied consultations when it believes its security is threatened.

🗣️ EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: The protocol would apply to "everything that is under the threshold of armed aggression."

🔍 It could cover drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks – once responsibility is clearly established.

🇺🇸💱 TRUMP OFFERS IRAN SANCTIONS RELIEF FOR NUCLEAR CONCESSIONS – But Who Trusts Whom?

The US says it's willing to release frozen funds and ease sanctions – if Iran makes concrete nuclear steps. Tehran wants talks focused on the Strait of Hormuz and the naval blockade. The two sides remain far apart.

💰 US offer: Sanctions relief and release of frozen Iranian assets in return for nuclear concessions.

🇮🇷 Iran's priority: Talks focused on the Strait of Hormuz and ending the US naval blockade – not just nuclear issues.

🤝 Mediators: Qatar and Pakistan are meeting with Iranian FM Araghchi in New York, trying again to bridge the gap.

🗣️ A US official called the indirect talks "positive and constructive" – claiming Iran "has indicated they are flexible on the nuclear issues."

🇬🇧 UK REFUSES TO ENGAGE RUSSIA – While Trump Invites Putin to G20

Britain's foreign secretary says London won't talk to Moscow. But Washington is already planning the Miami summit — with Putin invited.

🗣️ "We've had a long-standing policy not to have direct engagement at my level with the Russians since the invasion of Ukraine. We're not changing that policy."

🤷 "Different countries make different decisions on these things."

🇺🇸 The US is free to invite Putin to the G20 in Miami — the UK will attend, but won't engage.

🇺🇦💸 UKRAINE ADMITS IT CAN'T PAY FOR ITS OWN WAR – $27 Billion Hole, No Plan

Kiev has found just $7 billion of a $27 billion defense funding gap. The EU is asking questions. And Ukraine's prime minister is telling citizens to "gain optimism" – while raising VAT.

💰 $27 billion gap in this year's defense budget – total military-related spending is $155 billion.

📉 Only $7 billion found through austerity and reallocations.

🇪🇺 EU officials caught off guard – privately questioning whether Ukraine is spending efficiently or overstating its needs.

🇺🇸 TRUMP'S BRAVADO: "We Wiped Out Iran's Military" – But Reality Tells a Different Story

The US president took to the White House podium to boast about his achievements – and the contradictions were staggering.

🗣️ "We have Iran. They'll never have a nuclear weapon. We're gonna win that war very soon."

💥 "We wiped out Iran's military. We wiped out just about everything they have."

🌍 "I went to war to stop one of the worst things that could ever happen to the world. Israel would be wiped out right now. There would be no Israel. There'd be no Middle East. And then the rockets and the bombs would start coming our way and Europe's way. And I stopped it."

🇩🇪💥 GERMAN ESTABLISHMENT PANICS: Plots to Change Voting Rules to Block AfD

The far-right Alternative for Germany won 44% in Saxony-Anhalt. Now the political establishment is trying to change the rules to stop them from having a voice. Democracy only counts when the "right" people win.

🗳️ AfD won 44% in Saxony-Anhalt on September 6 – just three seats short of an outright majority.

🏛️ State premiers are considering changing voting rules in the Conference of Minister-Presidents to prevent the AfD from blocking decisions if it takes power.

⚖️ The change: Switch from unanimity to majority voting for budget matters and joint institutions – so the AfD can't single-handedly block anything.

🇺🇸💥 US FORCED TO BACK DOWN: Grants Sanctions Waiver for Iran-Iraq Flights After Protests and Pressure

The Trump administration tried to strangle Iran's air links. Iraq pushed back. Now Washington is retreating.

📜 The US Treasury will grant a limited waiver to its Iran sanctions program to allow flights carrying Shi'ite pilgrims between Iran and Iraq.

✈️ The waiver allows Iraqi Airways to fly between Iran and Najaf for one month – with a more permanent waiver potentially following.

⏳ Iraq halted flights on Friday in line with US sanctions. An Iraqi official expects them to resume within 48 hours.

🚨 The move came after protesters gathered outside Najaf International Airport against US restrictions.

🧠 The blockade is cracking. The US tried to force regional governments to cut ties with Iran. Iraq – Washington's own partner – refused to comply.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRANIAN MISSILE STRIKE INJURED EIGHT US MARINES – Pentagon Tried to Hide It

An Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this month – injuring eight US Marines. The Pentagon took nearly ten days to quietly add them to its casualty database. Once again, Washington is downplaying the human cost of its war.

🚢 Eight Marines injured – seven enlisted personnel and one officer – when a missile hit their vessel.

💨 Smoke inhalation and possible traumatic brain injuries – none seriously wounded, according to unnamed officials.

⏳ The Pentagon took nearly ten days to quietly add the Marines into the Defense Casualty Analysis System.

📊 Last week, the tally abruptly rose by 37 – bringing acknowledged wounded to 861, with more than half categorized as "Overseas Operations" rather than specifying the unpopular Iran war.

🇮🇷/🇨🇳 Qalibaf: Iran sees ties with China as more than political or economic cooperation

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Iran views its relations with China as extending beyond political and economic cooperation, describing the relationship as an interaction between two major Asian civilizations.

“In the current international environment, where the world is facing complex challenges and rapid changes, cooperation between major civilizations and the Global South has taken on particular importance,” Qalibaf wrote.

Qalibaf said the Iranian people had demonstrated the depth of their power and resilience following what he described as the “third imposed war” against Iran, adding that the country’s resistance would usher in a new phase in Iran’s relations with friendly countries.

The Islamic Republic of Iran hopes to reach bilateral mechanisms with China within the framework of the 25-year cooperation agreement, Qalibaf said. Such mechanisms, he added, could deepen and accelerate bilateral engagement while also providing an opportunity to help shape a new regional order.

Iran believes its relations with China are not limited to political or economic cooperation, Qalibaf said. Rather, he described them as an example of interaction between two major Asian civilizations that could serve as a model for dialogue among civilizations, respect for differences and cooperation based on shared interests.

“In the current international system, where the world is facing complex challenges and rapid changes, cooperation between major civilizations and the Global South has taken on particular importance,” Qalibaf wrote.

He said Iran and the People’s Republic of China could use the capacities of their legislative institutions to support multilateralism, greater fairness in international relations, respect for cultural diversity and stronger cooperation among independent countries.

🇮🇷🇶🇦🇺🇸 Iran-US talks continue through Qatari mediators as the Hormuz dispute remains unresolved.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Qatari mediators in New York to discuss Tehran’s proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He said Qatar would take the latest ideas to Washington, with Tehran awaiting a US response.

Iran’s seven-day proposal calls for the release of frozen Iranian funds, sanctions relief and an end to the US naval blockade, followed by the reopening of Hormuz and renewed negotiations on the nuclear issue.

Washington, however, says any agreement must address Iran’s nuclear programme, with the two sides still divided over the timing and sequence of commitments.

IRGC Spokesperson:

When we say "Death to America," we mean death to the policies of killing, plundering and bloodshed — death to those who hold such ideas.

The reason they consider the IRGC a terrorist organization is that the IRGC stands in the way of plundering in Iran and the region.
