๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel is trying to inflict maximum damage in Iran before the window for further strikes closes, assuming Trump could end the war at any time, - Reuters
Officials say rejecting the earlier proposal may have been a major tactical mistake, as cheap Iranian drones have already caused U.S. casualties and forced costly defenses.
The Trump administration dismissed the offer at the time, but after heavier-than-expected Iranian drone attacks in the current conflict, the U.S. has now asked Ukraine for anti-drone help.

EU Council President Antonio Costa: Russia has so far been the only winner from the war in the Middle East.

"You have all seen the challenges we have faced in getting this over the line - even after all 27 Leaders have agreed to it. But I can assure you that we will deliver on our commitments, because our credibility - and more importantly, our security - is at stake."
European Commission President von der Leyen: Despite challenges, EU will deliver โฌ90 billion loan to finance Ukraine's needs.
"It is obvious that fully rerouting Middle Eastern oil supplies without using the Strait of Hormuz is currently unrealistic. Changing logistics will not only take a long time but will also require significant expenditure on infrastructure, expansion of marine terminals, and so on."
Putin: Oil production, which depends on the use of the Strait of Hormuz, risks coming to a complete halt as early as next month.
So far, the war in Iran is playing in Russia's hands, and Putin will, no doubt, use this situation to weaponize Russian oil further and use it as a tool for blackmail.
