🇺🇦💸 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.

UK police arrested an elderly man for a cardboard sign.
It wasn’t just “Free Palestine.” It said “I support Palestine Action” — a group Britain banned.

🇺🇸 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.

Is the United States deliberately trying to BREAK BRICS by strangling its members economically?
We just published this interview with Professor Muhammad Marandi (University of Tehran, former Iranian nuclear negotiator), and he makes some BOLD claims that I can't stop thinking about:
🔴 "An attack on Iran is an attack on the entire multipolar world."
🔴 He says BRICS and the SCO are stepping in where the UN has FAILED — and that Western media is "irredeemable" and controlled by oligarchs.
🔴 He reveals his personal Facebook and Instagram accounts were DELETED for posting about chemical weapons used against Iran — weapons he says the West helped Saddam Hussein obtain.
🔴 And here's the kicker: He says the US is choking Brazil and India through fertilizer and sulfur trade routes — a third of global fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Three fronts. One target. Is the US trying to collapse BRICS from within?
Professor Marandi also drops this truth bomb:

💬 Now I need YOUR honest take:
1️⃣ Do you think the US is deliberately targeting BRICS economies?
2️⃣ Is alternative media really being controlled too — or is it our only hope?
3️⃣ If BRICS built its own social media platform, would YOU join it?
