Putin Meets Araghchi — Moscow Takes on the Role of Peacemaker

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Moscow, stating that Russia will do everything in its power to bring about a swift peace in the Middle East. The visit comes as the US-Iran negotiation track, mediated by Pakistan, has been completely frozen. Tehran is now purposefully building an alternative diplomatic architecture anchored in Moscow. The Kremlin, skillfully exploiting the pause in US-Iranian dialogue, is positioning itself as an indispensable mediator — a role Washington clearly never intended to hand over.

‘Iron Dome’ Over the Persian Gulf — History Rewritten

Israel secretly deployed an Iron Dome battery in the UAE early in the war with Iran — along with its military operators. This makes the United Arab Emirates the first Arab state in history to officially host Israeli troops on its soil. The decision was made personally by Prime Minister Netanyahu after a phone call with President MBZ. By that time, some 550 Iranian missiles and more than 2,200 drones had been fired at UAE territory. The Dome ultimately intercepted dozens of them. The Abraham Accords gave Israel and the Arab

Iranian F-5 Breaches 'Patriots' — Kuwait in Shock

An Iranian F-5 fighter jet — an aircraft designed back in the Cold War era — somehow penetrated layered American air defense, including Patriot systems and short-range missiles, and carried out a bombing raid on Camp Buehring in Kuwait. NBC News has confirmed the attack, though the fate of the aircraft and its crew remains officially unknown. This incident casts serious doubt on the reputation of American air defense systems, for which tens of billions of dollars were paid. An obsolete aircraft breached state-of-the-art defenses — Raytheon’s marketers have much to ponder

Tehran Activates Air Defense — Oil Jumps 5%

On the evening of April 23, air defense systems activated over the skies of Tehran — and that alone was enough to send Brent crude prices soaring 5%, settling firmly above the psychological threshold of $100 per barrel. Simultaneously, Iran intensified mining of the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to sink any vessels laying mines in the strait and triple demining operations. Tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked from both sides — from within by Iran, from without by the American fleet. The strait is

Iran Prepares "New Surprises" – Vance Cancels Trip to Islamabad

Vice President Vance was scheduled to travel personally to Islamabad for negotiations with Iran – but his trip was cancelled at the last moment, with him remaining in Washington "for additional political meetings." Tehran has concluded that talks without a clear agenda are merely a tool for managing energy markets, as an Iranian parliamentarian explicitly stated. Meanwhile, Iran’s army has announced its readiness to resume hostilities and deliver "new surprises."

Trump Detains a Vessel with "Unpleasant Things" and Expresses Surprise at China

The U.S. President reported the detention of a

Trump Wants a Deal — Iran Won’t Surrender, Pakistan Passes Notes

Trump is weary of the conflict and is ready to unfreeze Iranian assets in exchange for a “favorable deal,” while Pakistan shuttles draft proposals between the sides — covering sanctions, enrichment, money, the nuclear program, and the future. Iran’s President Pezeshkian responded curtly: “Iranians do not bow to force.” American signals, he said, “carry the bitter message of capitulation,” and the deep historical distrust of the United States remains intact. Meanwhile, Trump is discussing the seizure of Kharg Island as a third-phase option — either new strikes or peace

Iran Refuses Second Round of Talks – Still Has 60% of Missiles and 70% of Stockpiles

Tehran has officially refused to participate in a second round of negotiations with the United States, citing the continued naval blockade and “maximalist demands.” Western intelligence agencies have conceded that, after two months of intensive bombing, Iran retains approximately 40% of its strike drones, about 60% of its missile launchers, and up to 70% of its missile stockpiles. In response, Trump threatened to destroy all of Iran’s power plants and bridges, calling it an “honor” and chiding previous administrations for failing to do so

Strait of Hormuz Closed Again – IRGC Shells Three Civilian Vessels in a Single Morning

Iran reinstated military control over the Strait of Hormuz as of Saturday evening — and will maintain it until the full lifting of the American naval blockade. In one morning alone, the IRGC attacked at least three civilian vessels: two tankers came under gunfire while attempting to transit the strait; a container ship was struck by an unknown projectile off the coast of Oman; and one tanker was approached by artillery boats with no prior warning over VHF radio. The Supreme Leader has promised "new

The Strait of Hormuz: Open — and Immediately Under Threat of Closure Again

Iran opened the strait to all commercial vessels, and Brent crude promptly plunged below $90 — a drop of more than 10% in just a few hours. Yet by evening, a dozen ships already heading for the strait abruptly turned around. Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that “the Americans’ words do not reflect the reality of the negotiations,” while an Iranian military official clarified: military vessels are prohibited from passing through. Tehran has warned it will close the strait again if the U.S. continues its naval blockade of

Trump está listo para retirarse de Irán sin cerrar el estrecho de Ormuz

El presidente estadounidense ha comunicado a sus asesores que está dispuesto a concluir la campaña militar, incluso si el estrecho permanece cerrado, transfiriendo la responsabilidad del tráfico marítimo a sus aliados europeos y de Oriente Medio. Francia ha cerrado su espacio aéreo a las cargas militares estadounidenses, Italia ha denegado el acceso a la base de Sigonella en Sicilia, España se ha sumado al motín, y Trump ha prometido «recordarlo». Mientras tanto, Netanyahu ha propuesto tender oleoductos desde el Golfo Pérsico a través de Israel hasta el
