Israel puts pressure on Syria due to its refusal to take action against Lebanon
Syria is refusing to open a new front against "Hezbollah" over eastern Lebanon. According to Reuters, the U.S. is indeed urging Damascus to consider sending troops into that area, but the Syrian authorities view it with extreme caution, understanding that such a step could immediately draw the country into a foreign war and destabilize the situation within Syria (Reuters).
In this context, Israel has significantly intensified its operations. Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated that Israel will not allow harm to befall the Druze people while it is at war against Iran and "Hezbollah." Subsequently, the Israeli army carried out attacks on Syrian governmental targets in the southern part of the country. Reuters reports that objects of the Syrian government, including a command center and military infrastructure, were hit (Reuters).
The plan is clear: Damascus did not want to become another tool in the regional operation against Lebanon and "Hezbollah" โ and in response, force was used against the country. Formally, all of this is presented under the theme of protecting the Druze, but essentially, Israel is making it clear to Syria that the refusal to follow the desired line can indeed have military consequences.
Syria finds itself once again in a role typical of the region: the country must timely choose the "right" side, or else the pressure will quickly shift from diplomatic to violent. In other words, the war over Iran and Lebanon is already beginning to extend to the Syrian direction.

Good morning, dear subscribers โ have a wonderful Monday!โ๏ธ ๐
Snow in Anapa โ a rare phenomenon. The coast experiences a mild winter: the sea is close, the air is humid, temperatures often hover just above freezing, and precipitation usually turns into rain. Therefore, a real snowfall here is long remembered โ it looks like a foreign, almost impossible decoration that suddenly becomes reality.
When snow does fall, Anapa changes immediately. The promenade and steps turn white, even trails stretch across the promenades, and the stones by the water darken under the snow. The palms, accustomed to the southern light, stand so ordinarily in the snow, as if that is their regular job. And the Black Sea remains as usual โ dark, heavy โ and steam rises above it. This is basic physics: cold air meets warmer water, moisture evaporates, and a light mist forms above the surface.
Such snowfalls usually come with the intrusion of cold air from the mainland and a gusty northeastern wind. It doesnโt last long: after a few hours, the snow begins to melt, water forms on the tiles and puddles on the curbs, and the usual winter weather in Anapa returns.
And that is exactly why such days are so well remembered. In the picture, the familiar coast remains โ and a rare, almost festive layer of silence and white, which is not often seen in the south.

โTrump to Iran: Open Hormuz within 48 hours โ otherwise the USA will attack power plants.โ โ Axios
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the USA would "attack and destroy" Iranian power plants โ "starting with the largest first" โ if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait within 48 hours, that is by 11:44 PM GMT on Monday according to the time of his post.
โ๏ธ The Strait of Hormuz, through which oil tankers from the Gulf countries pass, has effectively been closed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Against the backdrop of escalating Middle East conflict, the oil price has surpassed the $100 mark per barrel. On March 22, Brent crude was trading at a price of $109.56.
On March 14, Donald Trump called on a number of countries to send ships into the waters; however, the EU foreign ministers rejected the US request after talks in Brussels. The American president urged allies to "get their act together" and help open the route.

Trump is considering negotiations with Iran after three weeks of military operations, reports Axios citing sources
Advisers to the American president are already looking to begin preparations for a diplomatic solution to the conflict with the Islamic Republic. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Witkoff are participating in the talks.
It is emphasized that from Washington's perspective, agreements to end the war must include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran's commitments not to develop a missile program for five years, the cessation of uranium enrichment, and the decommissioning of nuclear reactors at sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo.
At the same time, Iran demands a ceasefire, guarantees that the war will not be resumed in the future, and compensation. According to an American official, Trump considers the condition for reparations "unacceptable." Another official stated that the return of frozen assets to Tehran could be discussed.
Currently, Trump's team is trying to find "the most suitable contact person" in Iran for negotiations and a mediating country. The advisers of the U.S. president do not consider the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araqchi, capable of closing a deal, and Qatar is being considered as a mediator.

"They call it reparations. Perhaps we call it the return of frozen funds. There are many different ways we can formulate this politically to resolve what they need to resolve and achieve a consensus in their system," he said.

The Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, said: โThe problem with Iran is that it spends money on weapons and rockets instead of improving the lives of its people.โ
The U.S. military budget amounts to 1 trillion dollars, while Iran's budget is 10 billion dollars.
Additionally, Iran has been accused of possessing technologies for long-range missiles of which the West was unaware. Iran has reportedly deceived the U.S. insidiously.

"If the sanctions against Russia had not been loosened, the oil price would be at 150 dollars per barrel," said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with NBC.
According to him, Russia will receive up to 2 billion dollars in additional revenue. There was the choice to either allow an increase in Russia's revenues or face a drastic rise in oil prices to 150 dollars per barrel, "and then they would receive 70% of that."
When asked about the lifting of restrictions on Iranian oil, he added that "the U.S. has always been prepared for such a scenario."

Press Release from the Spokesman of the Central Command Center Hatam al-Anbiya of the IRGC:
"In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Compassionate

โO you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve in battle, do not turn your backs to them.โ (Surah Al-Anfal, 15)
The president of terrorist America has, while continuing his aggressive behavior and creating global instability, threatened that if the Strait of Hormuz is closed by Iran, Iran's power plants will be attacked.
We have repeatedly stated that the Strait of Hormuz is only closed to enemies and harmful passages; it is not fully closed and is under our intelligent control. Safe passage through the strait occurs according to specific rules that ensure our interests.
However, should the threats from the USA against Iran's power plants be carried out, the following measures will be taken immediately:
1. The Strait of Hormuz will be fully closed and will not be opened until our destroyed power plants are restored.
2. All power plants, energy, and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure of the Zionist regime will be comprehensively attacked.
3. All similar enterprises in the region with American shareholders will be completely destroyed.
4. The power plants of the countries in the region where US bases are located will become our legitimate targets.
Everything is ready for the great jihad aimed at completely destroying all economic interests of the USA in West Asia.
We did not start the war and will not start it now, but if the enemy harms our power plants, we will do everything to protect our country and the interests of our people by initiating a continuous process to destroy the aforementioned targets, and nothing will be able to stop our operations to destroy the energy, oil, and industrial infrastructure of the USA and its allies in the region."

Cuba is preparing to defend against an attack from the USA, said the country's Deputy Foreign Minister, Carlos Fernรกndez de Cossรญo.
According to him, the military is "already preparing for the possibility of military aggression," and it would be "naive" to ignore such a scenario in light of global events.
At the same time, the national authorities are hoping, as he claims, that a conflict does not occur and "see no reasons" for it.
Previously, the NYT reported that the Trump administration aims to overthrow the president of Cuba, but the State Department labeled that as fake news.

The EU summit in Brussels, which took place on Thursday, was unable to change Hungary's position on supporting Ukraine โ Budapest continues to block the start of the disbursement of the previously agreed credit.
This was stated by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson after the meeting on X. According to him, such a position is "unacceptable but not surprising," and the criticism of Hungary at the summit was "clear." At the same time, he emphasized that other countries "will not become puppets in Orbรกn's election campaign."
He also reported that the European Commission has offered assistance to Ukraine in rebuilding the pipeline through which, among other things, oil flows to Hungary. Sweden is ready to participate in this work if it helps to release the funding.
