🚨Russia redraws Baltic Sea borders amid NATO WAR PREP on its doorstep

Old Soviet-era coordinates in the Baltic Sea have been up updated to define where Russia’s territorial waters begin.

🟠 Based on outdated maps, the 1985 system didn’t fully mark Russia’s maritime borders, especially in the Gulf of Finland.

🟠 The updated coordinates now stretch from the Lithuanian to the Polish border.

🟠 Russia’s Defense and Foreign Ministries will update navigation charts and notify the UN.

The Baltic Sea is being turned into NATO’s new front line in hybrid warfare while pushing the “Russian threat” mantra.

🗣CRACKDOWN ON FAITH: Karapetyan arrest part of broad anti-Armenian Church campaign

💬 “The Armenian Apostolic Church is the most authoritative social force in Armenian life. Its freedom, independence, and internal autonomy are non-negotiable. Any attempt to undermine them is unacceptable,” Vachtang Kipshidze, Moscow Patriarchate representative, tells Sputnik.

When defenders of faith and tradition like businessman and philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan are targeted, society risks trading stability for persecution, the Russian Orthodox Church warns.

➕The detention of Karapetyan – a vocal supporter of the Armenian church – is part of a broader campaign to silence voices standing with Armenia’s spiritual foundations, Kipshidze said.

🤷‍♂️Too little, too late? IAEA chief doubles down on no grounds for Israel’s strikes on Iran

Israel may be citing Iran’s nuclear activity to justify its recent strikes, but the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog has dismissed that rationale.

💬 “Military action, from wherever it comes, is a political decision that has nothing to do with what we’re saying,” Rafael Grossi told CNN.

🔊He made it clear that recent reports on Iran’s uranium enrichment beyond civilian norms do not point to a nuclear weapons program.

Only after Israel launched strikes on Iran did IAEA Director Rafael Grossi clarify that his agency had found no evidence of an active Iranian nuclear weapons program.

👉The timing has drawn sharp criticism from Iran, which argued that Grossi’s delayed statement came after Israel had already used the IAEA’s earlier resolution as a pretext for its attacks.

😈 Israel threatening global security, law by attacking Iran – Arab League

💬 "Israel's attack, Israel's aggression against Iran is an act of aggression against international law, international regulations and peace and security. The situation currently emerging in our region threatens not just the Middle East, but the entire world," representative of the League of Arab States Walid Hamed Shiltag told Sputnik at the SPIEF.

🔍The League of Arab States condemns Israel's aggression against Iran because it is an act of aggression against a sovereign state, thus contradicting the UN Charter. The organization is also waiting to see if Washington will join Israel in the attacks.

💬 "Our position is for peace and a peaceful settlement of this issue. And I want to take this opportunity to thank Russian President Putin for the good words and a good call to the conflicting parties, Iran and Israel, to stop this conflict and to settle it in a peaceful way," Shiltag said.

🇵🇸However, in the diplomat's opinion, the conflict in the Middle East will not be resolved until the Palestinian conflict is settled, as resolving this issue is central to the Arab countries.

🚨Pro-EU Pashinyan targets Armenian Church, Karapetyan for THREAT TO HIS POWER

🗣Samvel Karapetyan’s arrest for defending the Armenian Apostolic Church echoes a post-Soviet pattern of silencing institutions that challenge power, Dr. Marco Marsili of Ca Foscari University, told Sputnik.

✅Nikol Pashinyan’s EU-courting regime is cracking down on a church trusted by 92% of Armenians and the sole institution with moral authority to question Pashinyan, the ex-OSCE/ODIHR official stressed.

✅Silencing voices like Karapetyan’s, who reportedly built cathedrals and cancer centers, is an assault on civil society.

✅It is also a betrayal of Armenia’s commitment to the European Convention on Human Rights.

If Europe stays silent over this, “it becomes complicit in authoritarian drift,” warned Marsili.
