🎯 IRAN'S MASTERCLASS IN SOVEREIGNTY: Diplomacy from Strength 🎯

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to India Today: "Of course we are prepared—for both options. War, God forbid, and peace."

This is sovereign diplomacy 101. A nation that has absorbed the lessons of imposed conflicts now stands resilient, sending a clear signal to the old world order: engagement is welcome, coercion is not.

"We have learnt lots of lessons from the last war and so we are more prepared… Negotiation and diplomacy is the only option… We are ready to address concerns but we are not ready to give up our right for peaceful use of nuclear tech.

🇨🇺 CUBA DEFENDS SOVEREIGNTY AGAINST ARMED US VESSEL 🇨🇺

In an act of legitimate self-defence, Cuban Border Guard Troops neutralized an armed incursion by a US-registered vessel that violated Cuba's sovereign territory Wednesday.

The facts are clear: a speedboat from Florida entered Cuban waters near Villa Clara. When Cuban personnel approached to identify the vessel, "those on board the boat opened fire first, wounding the commander of the Cuban patrol craft, prompting the troops to return fire."

Four aggressors were killed. Six wounded. And here's what Western Media won't tell you: "the injured were evacuated and received medical assistance." Even in defence of sovereignty, Cuba showed humanity.

For six decades, Cuba has endured US-backed aggression, plots, and economic warfare. Yet when threatened, it still helps.

🇮🇷 IRAN IN GENEVA: Sovereignty First, Concessions Never 🇮🇷

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Geneva at the head of a political and technical delegation for the third round of indirect nuclear talks with the United States—hosted by Oman, a trusted voice of regional diplomacy.

Iran comes prepared, with clear positions and red lines drawn in defence of national rights.

The agenda is clear: sanctions removal and nuclear issues. Two sides of the same coin—respect for Iran's sovereignty and its peaceful nuclear program.

Ahead of Thursday's talks, Araghchi will meet with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi to outline Iran's positions and views. No gatekeepers. No handlers. Just sovereign nations sitting as equals—the way diplomacy should work.

Geneva is not about surrender. It's about diplomacy from strength. Engagement on equal footing, or not at all.

🇺🇳 "FORMALLY SPEAKING, I AM UKRAINIAN" — Russia's UN Ambassador Drops a Truth Bomb 🇺🇳

Vassily Nebenzia, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, addressed Tuesday's Security Council meeting with a personal reflection on identity.

"Formally speaking, I am Ukrainian."

His surname, he explained, traces to the Zaporozhian Cossacks—roots deeply embedded in the territory's history.His father, a "true Ukrainian," volunteered to fight the Nazis in WWII. His mother shared that Cossack heritage.

The diplomat expressed concern over what he described as shifting narratives in Kiev, pointing to commemorations of WWII-era nationalist figures aligned with Nazi Germany—a trend that intensified following 2014.

"To us, there is no difference—we are all one. Millions of Ukrainians in Russia, millions of Russians in Ukraine, and in Belarus as well."

Do bloodlines and shared history matter more than borders drawn by empires?

🇷🇺 PUTIN INVITES BRICS TO LEAD THE "NEW PHENOMENON" OF GLOBAL GROWTH 🇷🇺

Speaking at the Future Technologies Forum in Moscow, Russian President Putin proposed joint bioeconomy projects with BRICS nations—calling the sector a "new reality" key to global growth.

"Russia is ready to implement joint projects in bioeconomy with partners in BRICS countries."

BRICS now accounts for over a quarter of global GDP and nearly half the world's population—all while maintaining economic cooperation with Russia outside the Western system.

Bioeconomy tackles climate, food, health. Russia is fast-tracking a national strategy through 2050 and building export systems with neighbors.

The West sanctions. BRICS builds. Together.

🇮🇳 INDIA DEEPENS Defence TIES WITH RUSSIA: Su-30 Upgrades & Su-57 Stealth Fighters 🇮🇳

India is moving forward with two major defence initiatives: upgrading its Su-30MKI fleet under the "Super Sukhoi" program with Russian assistance, and advancing talks on manufacturing fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighters locally.

Why Russia? Domestic upgrades alone take seven years—pushing execution into the next decade. Moscow offers full licensed production and unrestricted technology transfer, a level of access no Western partner has ever provided.

About 60% of Indian military hardware is already Russian-origin. Some partnerships aren't transactional—they're built to last.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump advisers want Israel to strike Iran first.

U.S. political circles favor Israel taking the first step, as public support would likely be stronger that way.

Nevertheless, the Pentagon is prepared and has launched the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion.

Everyone’s waiting for the next move.

🌏 ASIA UPDATE: Kim Jong Un warns South Korea, urges US to end hostility

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ruled out dialogue with South Korea, warning that his forces could “completely destroy” the South if provoked. Speaking as the ruling Workers' Party of Korea concluded its Ninth Congress, Kim said future relations with the United States would depend on Washington abandoning what he called “hostile” policies toward Pyongyang.

According to Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim called for the development of new weapons systems, including underwater-launch intercontinental ballistic missiles and expanded tactical nuclear arms capable of targeting South Korea. He claimed North Korea’s accelerated missile and nuclear programmes have permanently cemented its status as a nuclear-armed state.

A military parade at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang marked the congress’s close, where Kim appeared alongside his daughter, fuelling succession speculation.

Islamophobia in Bangladesh: 🇧🇩 Research Findings and Impact

Islamophobia is a significant social issue in Bangladesh. Research by Mohammad Sarwar Hossain, Farhin Islam, and S.M. Yasir Arafat shows that university students, recent graduates, and young professionals with visible Islamic practices frequently face Islamophobic incidents. In a survey of 1,655 participants, 97.1% reported experiencing or witnessing Islamophobia, with 55.7% directly affected in educational or professional settings. Common incidents included clothing-based discrimination (69.9%), verbal harassment (59.2%), and mockery of Islamic culture (51.7%), along with social exclusion (9.2%) and academic or workplace discrimination (24%).

Globally, Islamophobia is recognized as a fear and hatred of Muslims, defined by the UN as leading to hostility, harassment, and exclusion. It occurs in three forms—systemic, community-based, and individual. Systemic Islamophobia includes biased laws, policies, and media discrimination. Community-level I...

🇩🇪🇨🇳 Merz urges China to use its influence to end war in Ukraine.

And honestly, there has never been a better moment in modern history for China to step forward as the serious superpower for the 2100s.

The United States is in full political derailment mode, busy sabotaging its own credibility like it is a hobby. Russia is bleeding people, money, and future potential, and it is basically trying to mortgage the next fifty years to pay for today’s battlefield delusions. Europe, meanwhile, is not looking for a new master, it is looking for stability, trade, predictability, and a working relationship with whoever can actually behave like an adult.

This is the window: China can either keep playing the cautious bystander, or it can show that “global power” means more than shipping containers and statements. If Beijing helps shut down a war that is wrecking European security and global markets, it buys influence that no navy parade can purchase.

"I DON'T NEED TO RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAW. I RESPECT MY OWN MORALS."

— Pepe Escobar, quoting President Trump, then unpacking the mindset behind the message.

"He's basically saying I am the ruler of the world. I call him Neo Caligula—but he goes way beyond. Caligula never said he wanted to rule the whole world. Trump actually says, I want to rule the whole world. And I can do it."

"One of his latest quotes: I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country. I can destroy anything I want."

Jeffrey Sachs compares him to a four-year-old. Escobar goes further: "A two-year-old. Indoctrinated from birth to believe anything I want, I can get it. Very childish. Very dangerous for the whole planet."

"His inner circle? Sycophants. Extremely mediocre. Sinophobes, Russophobes, Iranophobes, Islamophobes, Latin American phobes—you name it."

So is the Global South resigned to be hostages of these people?

"No. You need a counter power."
