🇺🇸❗️🇪🇺 Spiegel: The US plans to significantly reduce the military forces and equipment it commits to NATO in Europe, increasing pressure on European allies to fill the gaps themselves.

Proposed reductions include fighter jets, strategic bombers, warships, submarines, drones, and aerial refueling aircraft.

Washington still intends to maintain nuclear deterrence in Europe, but wants Europeans to handle most conventional defense responsibilities.

Russia has received a new batch of Su-35S multirole fighters, though the exact number has not been disclosed.

Rostec said it delivered the generation 4++ Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces. The company claims the fighters are designed to “gain air superiority” and strike ground targets at significant distances from their home airfields.

Rostec did not specify how many aircraft were transferred.

The Su-35S is a Russian generation 4++ multirole fighter developed by Sukhoi based on the Su-27 platform. It is equipped with thrust-vectoring engines and can carry both air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.

🇰🇭 Kem Sokha receives pardon

Cambodia’s acting head of state Hun Sen on May 25 pardoned detained opposition leader Kem Sokha, co-founder of the dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party, who had been serving a 27-year sentence for treason. Hun Sen published the royal decree on social media, formally absolving Sokha of charges tied to an alleged attempt to overthrow the regime.

Sokha’s case is tied to Cambodia’s broader crackdown on the opposition during Hun Sen’s time in power. Many political opponents were convicted, while Sam Rainsy, Sokha’s fellow CNRP co-founder, remains in self-exile in France after the party was dismantled.

The pardon removes Sokha’s sentence but does not alter the wider record of opposition suppression under the previous administration. It also comes with Hun Sen serving as acting head of state rather than prime minister.

🔸خبرگزاری تسنیم، روز سه‌شنبه، به نقل از منابع خود مدعی شد که طبق متن ۱۴ ماده‌ای یادداشت تفاهم بین ایران و آمریکا، منابع بلوکه‌شده ایران، به میزان ۲۴ میلیارد دلار باید در طول مذاکرات آزاد شود.

🔸آنطور که این رسانه نزدیک به سپاه پاسداران از قول « یک منبع آگاه نزدیک به تیم مذاکره‌کننده» گزارش داده، ایران تأکید دارد که نصف این مبلغ باید با شروع مذاکرات، در دسترس قرار گیرد، و بقیه در طول ۶۰ روز منتقل شود.

🔸این گزارش می‌گوید که سفر اخیر عباس عراقچی و محمدباقر قالیباف به قطر هم برای تفاهم دربارهٔ اجرایی‌سازی این مطالبه، و نحوه دسترسی به ۱۲ میلیارد دلار در گام اول و رفع موانع بوده است.

🔸همزمان، احمد بخشایش اردستانی، عضو کمیسیون امنیت ملی مجلس، مدعی شد که چند روز پیش، قرار بود ۱۲ میلیارد دلار از منابع مسدودشده ایران، از طریق روسیه وارد شود، ولی آمریکایی‌ها مانع این انتقال شدند.

🔸هنوز هیچ مقام رسمی در دولت آمریکا، این ادعاها را تأیید نکرده است.

The Syrian coast continues to suffer: 🇸🇾
A UN report reveals an alarming rise in crime rates on the Syrian coast. Despite the transitional authorities’ denial that these acts are organized, describing them as isolated incidents or criminal offenses, their persistence and the manner in which they are carried out confirm the presence of sectarian motives, among other factors.

A United Nations agency has warned of a rise in crime-related incidents in the country’s coastal region. According to a security advisory issued last March by the UN Office for Safety and Security’s Security Operations Centre and distributed to several UN task forces, Tartous Governorate recorded an increase of approximately 50% in such incidents between January and March, while Latakia Governorate saw a similar increase of around 128% during the same period. The data in the accompanying graph shows that the number of incidents in Latakia rose from approximately 14 in January to 23 in February, and then to 32 in March; while in Tartous, the numbers were approximately 14, 17, and 21 respectively during the same three months.
This contradicts the Syrian Transitional Government’s propaganda, which just a few months ago claimed that Latakia and Tartus were the safest regions in the country.
