🇮🇷🇮🇱 CBS News claims that there will still be an Iranian strike, and its likely target will be an Israeli diplomatic facility.

The publication believes that the attack will be carried out using cruise missiles and Shaheds, and the launch could be carried out not from Iran, but from the territory of Iraq or Syria.

CBS News considers the next few days to be the most likely time of attack.

🇺🇲🇮🇷🇮🇱 The US will reportedly not intervene if Iran attacks Israel. The US and Iran allegedly came to an understanding.

Iran assured the United States that it would not attack American targets, and the United States, in turn, said it would not intervene if Iran retaliated against Israel.

🇷🇺 What a twist.

3 thousand former fighters of the Wagner PMC will join the Akhmat special forces.

Among them is one of the PMC commanders with the call sign “Ratibor,” said the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky's options for what to do about the war "range from bad to worse," the Washington Post writes.

The return of territories by military means "seems increasingly less likely." “The status quo is terrible. Currently, the fight has reached a dead end, Ukrainians are dying on the battlefield every day,” the article says.

Ukrainian and Western officials believe Zelensky is largely stuck and solidarity within Ukraine is weakening.

A senior Ukrainian official said: “Everyone wants quick solutions, but everyone has come to the understanding that there will be no quick solutions.”

Also in Ukraine they consider it “unrealistic” to reach the 1991 borders.

“Smart people know that this is unrealistic,” the Ukrainian legislator said, adding that the political leadership “at some point needed to correct this rhetoric.”

Attempts to correct the situation at the front are still in question. Measures to increase mobilization “split society.”

“Ukraine does not have the strength for a new offensive,” said a Western diplomat. In his opinion, there are two scenarios.

"One scenario is that they receive support to maintain defensive lines. ... In the second scenario, the support will not be enough, and Ukraine will still defend itself, desperately and with fewer manpower," he said.

But in this case, casualties and territorial losses will increase, “which will put Ukraine in a dead end.”

Now Ukraine and its partners must prepare for 2025 as “another year of war, not peace negotiations,” the diplomat said.

In Ukraine itself, opinions about how long the war can last are divided.

"A Ukrainian legislator has said that the country will not survive this status quo for another ten years. Others, however, believe that the fight could continue even longer," the article says.

“It's an unpleasant thought, but when some people say it could take decades, no one disputes that,” said former Economy Minister Timofey Milovanov.

🇪🇨🇲🇽⚡Ecuadorian security forces attacked the Mexican embassy in the country's capital and arrested the country's former vice president, Jorge Glas, who was hiding there. Mexican diplomats were injured during the attack on the embassy.

Mexico then began the process of severing diplomatic relations with Ecuador.

As I already wrote after the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the Vienna Convention is now nothing more than an empty piece of paper.
