Israel plans to create a 7-8 km buffer zone in southern Lebanon, N12 reports. Another piecemeal invasion.
About 130 million barrels of Russian #oil is currently at sea….
The move by the #Trump admin could further divide the #US & #Europe, which has been skeptical of Trump’s attack on #Iran & has expressed a desire to continue to exert economic pressure on #Russia.
