🇮🇷🇮🇷⚠️❌🇨🇾 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Iranian Drones Strike EU Country In War First | March 2, 2026:

"The Iran war has just for the first time, and rather quickly given it's only the third day of the conflict, expanded to include an EU nation in the Mediterranean. Iranian drones have reached Cyprus and at least one has made ground impact.

The British Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Akrotiri, Cyprus came under attack Monday morning, with an Iranian drone striking the runway in the early hours, several reports say. This comes as Britain has mulled directly joining Trump's Iran operation, but now appears to be pulling back from the prospect.

"Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people," a British Ministry of Defence spokesperson has told international media."

🇪🇺❌🧴Driven by efforts to reduce trash from wrappers and containers, the shift targets environmental impact linked to short-term product formats. Instead of staying put, convenience gives way to refillable systems meant to last longer than a guest's stay.

Starting in February 2025, a new rule called Regulation (EU) 2025/40 took effect. This measure, formally named the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), emerged from the European Green Deal framework. Although adopted near the close of 2024, its official publication came weeks later, in January 2025. From August 12, 2026 onward, it applies broadly across all 27 countries in the EU. Stricter standards begin then - covering how much packaging can be used, how easily it recycles, what labels appear, and what details must be shared. Businesses like hotels are included, along with firms that provide the supplies. While focused on waste, the shift touches operations far beyond disposal alone.

Admin comment: This is what Europe is worried about.

🚢 Strait of Hormuz traffic drops sharply amid regional escalation

Vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz has shifted materially following recent US strikes on Iran and the subsequent regional escalation. According to real-time traffic analysis, transits through the chokepoint fell by approximately 70% after 16:00 UTC on 28 February, compared with levels 12 hours earlier.

MarineTraffic playback shows visible behavioural changes across the region over the past three days, including U-turns, idling, reduced speeds, and last-minute diversions, particularly after maritime security warnings were issued.

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇧🇭🇶🇦🇦🇪🇸🇦🇰🇼 Iran fired 1200+ projectiles at five countries in the first 48 hours. Most were drones. These saturation attacks aim to overwhelm air defenses and drain interceptors. $20-50k Shahed drones vs. $4.19M PAC-3 interceptors put US and its partners on the wrong side of the cost curve.
