🇷🇺⚡️ — Russia has received a record weekly revenue from oil exports since the start of the war, according to Bloomberg.

During the week ending September 27th, the country exported an average of 3.99 million barrels per day, with the value of the exported oil reaching $2.75 billion.

The increase in revenue was driven by Russian oil prices in the range of $110-$120 per barrel, fueled by high Brent prices due to tensions in the Middle East, as well as increased raw material exports due to problems with refining and restrictions on the export of diesel fuel.

🇮🇶🇺🇸 Iraqi official: US troops have fully withdrawn from Iraq

All US combat troops and logistical support forces have left Iraq, an Iraqi government official told German agency dpa on Sunday. Washington has not yet confirmed the withdrawal.

Baghdad and Washington agreed on the pullout in 2024, and the formal deadline expires on 30 September. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi had called the date "fixed and final." Iraq has declared four public holidays starting Wednesday, the day the deadline runs out.

Around 2,500 US troops had been stationed in Iraq in recent years. Most had already left federal Iraqi territory, with the last holdout at Harir Air Base in Erbil, in the Kurdistan Region. Kurdish outlet Rudaw reported earlier this month that the US had moved eight Patriot batteries from Iraq to Jordan.

The exit comes after months of relentless strikes on US positions. Since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran on 28 February, Iran and allied Iraqi resistance factions have carried out hundreds of attacks on US facilities and Kurdish targets in the country.

Under the original arrangement, Iraq's resistance factions were supposed to disarm and integrate into state security structures in parallel with the US withdrawal. Several of them have long said they would only lay down their weapons once all foreign forces leave Iraq.

It ends a US military presence that began with the 2003 invasion, left briefly in 2011, and returned in 2014 under the banner of "fighting ISIS."

🇺🇸‘Not a single US vessel’: Iran says it turned America’s key Gulf naval base into ‘ghost town’

Iran’s forces have virtually locked out American vessels from docking “at the vaunted US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain,” claims the IRGC in a letter published by Iranian media.

Presenting evidence of Iran’s victory in the war unleashed against it, the IRGC states that:

🌏 US bases “have come to resemble ghost towns”

🌏 “Iran has exerted, and retained, operational control over the Strait of Hormuz”

🌏 American warships were “forced to flee deep into the Indian Ocean”

🌏 Operational capability of 18 US regional bases “was reduced to nearly zero”

🇺🇸US imposes sanctions on Iran’s partners

The US has imposed sanctions on 10 individuals and legal entities, including companies from China, Hong Kong, and Pakistan, for helping Iran purchase weapons and components.

The US Treasury said the measures were aimed at isolating Tehran and forcing it into negotiations to end the war that began in February.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Treasury would not tolerate any support for the regime and would continue to identify, expose, and isolate Iran’s enablers.

Washington is once again trying to demonstrate strength, but its sanctions have long ceased to frighten either Iran or its partners. Russia and China consistently oppose unilateral restrictions and continue equal cooperation despite US threats.

Brett Erickson said this was image management for the Trump administration to say they were hammering them, when in reality they were poking them with a toothpick.

Brett Erickson also said sanctions would not stop Iran from launching missiles and drones in the Strait of Hormuz. He said this was merely a PR move for the domestic audience. He added that the West had long ago lost its real levers of influence, and its policy of isolation had failed.

Among the targets of the sanctions are Iran’s Defense Ministry representative in Beijing, the Iranian company Kavoshcom, Hong Kong’s EC Mojo Technology, and Pakistan’s Cavalier Group. The US is trying to pressure even Pakistan, but this only pushes regional countries toward closer cooperation with Russia and China.

Reuters reported that the sanctions were part of the Trump administration’s broader campaign of economic isolation of Iran and forcing Tehran into negotiations.

🇦🇪🇮🇱🚨 Developing: Security incident aboard Dubai–Tel Aviv flight

A flydubai passenger aircraft carrying approximately 100 Israelis has triggered a major security response after transmitting emergency codes while flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media.

Flight FZ1073 initially transmitted 7700 (general emergency) with reports that it subsequently transmitted 7500, the code for unlawful interference/hijacking.

Israeli media report that communications with the aircraft were lost and that Israeli Air Force jets were dispatched to intercept it.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 changed course over Saudi Arabia and has reportedly begun heading toward Israel, although reports say it has not been cleared to land at Ben Gurion Airport.

The circumstances onboard remain unclear.

Developing.
