London and Paris are preparing to arm Kiev with nuclear bomb — Russia's SVR foreign intelligence services.

The goal is to give Ukraine "leverage" for favorable peace terms by possessing nuclear or a 'dirty' bomb

They're plan to transfer components and tech to make it appear as Ukraine's own development

Peskov on Paris and London's intention to transfer a nuclear bomb to Ukraine:

The West has been and still is devising plans to crush Russia. Information about Paris and London's intention to transfer a nuclear bomb to Kiev will be taken into account by Russia during negotiations on Ukraine. This is a flagrant violation of international law. The Special Military Operation began against the Kiev regime, but it has become a confrontation between Russia and the West.

"Four Years Into Putin's War, Ukraine Peace Push Is Stalling": Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine by the US Independence Day.

"Donald Trump's attempts to achieve a ceasefire in Russia's war against Ukraine have hit a deadlock - peace negotiations are blocked, and the hostilities after four years of conflict are in a state of stagnation. According to US allies, Washington is striving to accelerate the conclusion of an agreement by July 4 - the 250th anniversary of US independence.

However, as European and NATO officials note, Vladimir Putin does not demonstrate a willingness to compromise without meeting his key demands. Negotiations have already missed several unofficial deadlines, and even within the American administration, they admit the lack of signs of a softening of Moscow's position."

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel is already bracing for Iranian retaliation amidst a potential U.S. strike on Iran. They've been hard at work converting parking lots across Tel Aviv into fortified emergency hospitals.

In Ramat HaHayal, a subterranean garage is being transformed into a 200-bed protected medical facility as hospitals evacuate non-fortified wards.

Other major centers across the country like Beilinson, Rambam, Ichilov and Sheba already have missile-proof underground units.

In "peacetime" these function as parking lots. However in "wartime" they can be activated within hours to house fully equipped hospitlization wards, intensive care units and trauma centers, all protected against missile attacks.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump:

'Since they took power 47 years ago, the Islamic regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but death, terrorism and hate.

They've killed and maimed thousands of American servicemembers, in fact hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people with roadside bombs. They were the king of the roadside bomb.'

US losses were way heavier in Iraq then we thought. Complaining about Iran supplying a minimal of arms to Iraqis when you planned to use Iraq as a launching pad to invade Iran is like complaining someone killed their assassin.

❗️Israeli court cancels conviction of officer filmed beating Palestinian journalist, cites 7 October PTSD

An Israeli court has overturned the conviction of a police officer who was filmed assaulting a Palestinian photojournalist in occupied East Jerusalem, citing post-traumatic stress related to the 7 October attacks. The Jerusalem Magistrate Court instead sentenced officer Yitzhak Sofer to 300 hours of community service for the December 2023 attack on Anadolu Agency reporter Mustafa Al-Kharouf near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where Palestinians had gathered for Friday prayers under heavy restrictions.

Video footage showed Sofer and other officers throwing the journalist to the ground and repeatedly beating and kicking him while he was covering the scene. Cameraman Faiz Abu Ramila was also assaulted, and Al-Kharouf was hospitalized with multiple injuries. Sofer had previously been convicted of assault causing bodily harm and faced a longer community service sentence following an investigation by the Justice Ministry unit for police misconduct.

Judge Amir Shaked ruled that maintaining the conviction would cause disproportionate harm, citing the officer’s lack of prior criminal record and his service during the October events. The decision comes amid a sharp rise in attacks, arrests, and restrictions targeting journalists across Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, with Reporters Without Borders recently warning that Israel has become one of the deadliest environments in the world for media workers.

❗️Saudi Arabia boosts oil output amid fears of US strike on Iran

Saudi Arabia has stepped up oil production and exports under a contingency plan designed to offset potential supply disruptions from West Asia if the US carries out a strike on Iran, according to two sources to Reuters familiar with the matter on Wednesday.

Last year, Saudi Arabia increased oil exports by about 0.5 million barrels per day in June, sending additional crude to overseas storage at the same time the US launched attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

According to the two sources, this year’s strategy mirrors that approach. Saudi Arabia is boosting oil production as a precautionary measure to expand exports, they said. If no supply disruptions occur, the kingdom plans to scale back the effort and reduce output later to remain within its OPEC+ production quotas, one source added.

❗️Statement by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ):

"In a step that disregards all international conventions and norms, and once again confirms full US bias toward the settlement enterprise and annexation policies pursued by the Israeli government, the US embassy in occupied Jerusalem has announced the provision of consular services inside the settlement of Efrat, which was forcibly established on the lands of our people in Bethlehem and Hebron.

The seriousness of this move is not diminished by claims that it comes as part of a US program designated for Americans living abroad, nor by describing it as a 'mobile' service. Rather, such claims reveal an attempt to normalize this measure in the occupied West Bank and entrench it as a routine practice serving annexation objectives.

Providing official services inside settlements built on occupied land is not merely an 'administrative procedure,' as Washington claims, but constitutes an explicit political and legal recognition of the legitimacy of the settlements and direct participation in the crime of 'silent annexation' being carried out by the occupation government.

Offering services to settlers on lands taken daily from their Palestinian owners through violence and confiscation further entrenches the system of occupation control over the West Bank and the displacement of its people, a policy Washington supports through funding and weapons, and now through diplomatic cover.

This step makes the US administration a direct partner in projects aimed at annexing the West Bank to Israel, and exposes the US president’s declared opposition to annexation as media deception intended to advance Judaization and annexation plans quietly and without provoking reactions from Arab governments. The move also aligns with recent statements made by the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee."

Zee refuses to repair the 'Friendship' and insults Orban.

'I think this is not the first time that the Prime Minister of Hungary is blocking something. And I'm not sure that we can even link 90 billion and the oil pipeline here - these are two different issues. Firstly, it was destroyed by Russia. If Orban wants to block some financial aid, he can do it for Russia, but not for Ukraine. We are not the reason for the destruction of this oil pipeline.

We have satellite images, we have information from partners. Russia destroyed them several times. Not just this one, but others in general. So Orban should talk to Putin. Maybe they have their own energy disputes or something like that.

But it can't be that Russia destroys Ukraine's infrastructure, and we are again subjected to attacks during the restoration. Why all this? To restore and then lose people again? I think this is a very high price. That's all.'

Uh huh Russia destroyed it...
