🇷🇺🇮🇷 Moscow and Tehran signed a contract on Wednesday to build a vessel based on an order by the regional office of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group (IRISL) located in Solyanka, a port near the Russian city of Astrakhan, Iranian media reported.
Iran's consul general in Russia's port of Astrakhan, Mehdi Akouchakian, was cited as saying by Iranian media that adding a new vessel to the IRISL fleet would help reduce the final price of Iranian exports in the region. In addition, the official said, as cited in the report, that the decision to order the new vessel is a sign that Iran and Russia are strengthening their ties.
Commenting on the deal, IRISL CEO Mohammad Reza Modarres Khiabani said at the signing ceremony that such initiatives could enhance trade and transportation ties between Russia and Iran, as cited in the report.

💬 "The US has provided so much support, the West has gotten behind U.S. sanctions to a degree that is deindustrializing Europe. Europeans are basically volunteering themselves in line with the US to destroy their own economies and impoverish their own people. And they have admitted this to get behind the US on Ukraine. Does he expect every boy from Topeka, Kansas, to be marching into Crimea tomorrow? I don't think that many people take John Bolton seriously any more," says Mark Sleboda, a military and political analyst.

Cristiano Ronaldo Banned From Making Debut for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr
Newly surfaced reports have indicated football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will be unavailable to make his official debut for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr club on Thursday as he's expected to serve out a two-match ban.
The ban was handed down by the FA after Ronaldo smacked a cellphone out of the hand of an Everton fan at a match in April between Everton and Manchester United, his former club. The 14-year-old fan’s mother said his hand had been left “bruised,” and that he was “in complete shock” due to Ronaldo's outburst. The boy was also reportedly autistic.

Never Gonna Give You Up: US Will Continue Backing Venezuela's Guaido Despite Opposition Jumping Ship
"Our approach to [Venezuelan President] Nicolas Maduro is not changing,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price stated in comments to reporters on Wednesday. The head of state recognized by the country’s military and civic institutions, Price insisted, “is not the legitimate leader of Venezuela.”
Instead, the US will “continue to recognise” what Price called “the only remaining democratically elected institution in Venezuela today… the 2015 National Assembly.”

🇸🇾 Despite crushing Western sanctions and the US occupation of its oil and food-rich northeastern territories, Syrian and foreign archeologists have defiantly continued to restore landmarks from ancient civilizations long gone that were damaged and looted by terrorists during the long-running foreign-backed war in the Middle Eastern country.
Syrian media have released images showing progress in the restoration of the Krak des Chevaliers (lit. "Fortress of the Kurds"), an ancient medieval castle situated outside the city of Homs, western Syria.

Poland’s WWII Reparations Demands of Germany Constitute ‘Extortion’ at US’ Behest, Analyst Suggests
Poland was almost certainly egged on by its overseas allies in Washington and London to start a diplomatic storm in a teacup with its German neighbor by demanding new World War II reparations, Scott Bennett, a former US Army psychological warfare operations officer-turned whistleblower, has told Sputnik.
Citing the long-term US objective of “enslaving Europe” politically and economically, Bennett said it remains to be seen whether Berlin will “allow itself to be enslaved” or rediscover its national pride and “reject the slavery the US is attempting to burden them with, and become their own masters of their own destiny in the future.”

A private American spy firm is using illegal technology to track over a billion people across the globe and using a British intelligence cutout extensively linked to NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine to funnel the data to the UK military, new documents show.
According to independent American investigative outlet The Grayzone, leaked files indicate that surveillance technology used by the company in question, Anomaly 6, has “enabled the planning of military offensives and artillery attacks, assassinations, asset recruitment, and other measures” via “aggressive harvesting of data.”

🇸🇪 King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has once again slammed the law of absolute primogeniture that was introduced in 1980 and made retrospective.
🗣️ “It’s tricky to have laws that work retroactively. It doesn’t seem wise. You can accept the next generation, that’s okay. But it was my son who was born, and they changed quite a lot, and he lost it all. It’s quite strange. You can’t do that,” the 76-year-old monarch said in an interview to mark the start of his Golden Jubilee year
In 1979, Sweden introduced a constitutional amendment implying the throne would be inherited by the monarch’s eldest child regardless of gender, becoming the first country in Western Europe to legally adopt absolute primogeniture
