Wealthy Middle East elites pay up to $350,000 to flee Gulf amid Iranian strikes.
Iranian attacks on Dubai and the closure of its airport have triggered a scramble among the wealthy to leave the emirates via alternative routes on private jets.
The normally glitzy city, a playground for billionaires, influencers and millions of international visitors has been on edge since drones and missiles fired in response to US and Israel strikes on Iran damaged the airport and struck several high-profile hotels and landmarks.

BRICS Journal of Economics 7(1): 5-47
DOI: 10.3897/brics-econ.7.e176467
Authors: Lilia Valitova, Marina Sheresheva, Dmitry Oskin
Abstract: This paper examines the fragmentation of global science and the changing role of the BRICS countries in international research collaboration under geopolitical pressure. Using bibliometric analysis of more than 688,000 semiconductor-related publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (1965–2025), the study traces how the impos... Read more »

IDF attacks Iranian painting and releases it as destroyed Mi-17 target
Well or that chopper is made of wakanda's vibranium
Iran is apparently using anamorphic paintings on the ground to deceive attacks by the US and Israel
See how the heli blades didn’t even move during the strike – and they are very flexible and fragile

🔥 Ahmadinejad Rumors, IRGC Deaths & a Region on Edge
📰 Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is alive and unharmed after joint US-Israeli strikes that targeted Iran’s senior leadership and military infrastructure, according to a close adviser who says he is in direct contact with him. Three of his IRGC bodyguards were killed when a building linked to his security detail was hit just 100 meters from his home, which was not targeted.
❓ In a moment when narratives about Iran are shaped largely by Western and Israeli media, do you think this failed strike and the rush of false-death reports will harden Global South resistance to US-Israeli power, or push Tehran toward even bolder moves in the region

⚠️ Shadow war at sea: Russian LNG tanker hit off Malta 🌊
🚢 A Russian gas carrier, the Arctic Metagaz, was reportedly attacked by Ukrainian unmanned sea drones near Malta while carrying liquefied natural gas from Murmansk, yet all 30 crew members were rescued by Maltese and Russian services. 🌍 The ship is part of Russia’s sanctioned “shadow fleet,” raising new questions about how far the Ukraine conflict now reaches into global trade routes and EU-adjacent waters.
🔥 Is this a legitimate act of war against a military-linked target, or a dangerous precedent that puts civilian energy routes at risk for the entire Global South?

⚠️ Tensions on the edge once again!
Iran has warned that any U.S. or Israeli move toward “regime change” through armed unrest will trigger a direct strike on Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor — one of the most sensitive sites in the region.
🔥 This signals growing readiness among Global South powers to push back against perceived Western interference — a shift that could redefine how smaller nations assert deterrence.

Bill Clinton gets way too comfortable with Epstein file photos: he was seen smiling while looking through old photos from the files during congressional testimony. The lawyer had to take the documents from the former US president's hands TWICE while testifying
Nostalgic for the ‘good ol days’ Bill?

What if the CIA helped Castro in his revolution? What if the CIA created Castro and lied to the American public? And played for both sides, intervening in Cuban internal affairs as they did in Venezuela?

🎯 US ADMITS IRANIAN DRONES ARE SLIPPING THROUGH AIR DEFENSES 🎯
In a candid acknowledgment to Congress, the US military confirmed what the battlefield has been showing: American air defence systems cannot intercept all Iranian drones.
The vulnerability:
Unlike ballistic missiles, drones fly slow and low—making them difficult targets for systems designed to track high-speed projectiles. CNN reports the US tried to "dispel concerns" by pointing to Gulf allies building their own capabilities.
The maths doesn't lie:
💰 Iranian Shahed drones cost tens of thousands.
💵 American interceptors cost millions.
📉 The strategy is exposed. The economics are unsustainable.
What this means:
Every base hit. Every radar destroyed. Every refinery burning. The drones are getting through—and the US just admitted it.
The question for Gulf allies:
If American systems can't stop them, whose can?

🇹🇷 NATO INTERCEPTS IRANIAN MISSILE NEAR TÜRKİYE 🇹🇷
A NATO system shot down an Iranian ballistic missile headed toward Turkish airspace, Ankara's Defense Ministry confirmed.
The missile crossed Iraq and Syria before interception. Debris fell in Hatay—no damage.
Ankara's position: "The missile wasn't aimed at Türkiye. It likely veered off course toward a Cyprus base."
Türkiye has been unequivocal: not party to this war. No support. No airspace use. Claims otherwise are "disinformation."
The warning: "We'll defend our territory. All parties must avoid spreading conflict."
A stray missile triggers alliance defenses—while Ankara steps back from the coalition. This is escalation without borders.

🇨🇳 CHINA LISTS FIVE LESSONS FROM US-ISRAELI WAR ON IRAN 🇨🇳
Beijing's military has been watching—and drawing conclusions.
China Military Bugle just published five strategic takeaways from the attack on Iran:
1️⃣ Internal betrayal is the "deadliest threat." Israeli intelligence reportedly hacked nearly all CCTV cameras in Tehran before Khamenei's assassination.
2️⃣ "Blind faith in peace" is the "costliest miscalculation." Diplomacy without leverage fails.
3️⃣ Superior firepower "often dictates outcomes." The "coldest reality."
4️⃣ Beware the "illusion of victory." Iraq, Syria, Libya—winning battles isn't winning wars.
5️⃣ "Self-reliance" is the only guarantee of sovereignty. No ally substitutes for your own capacity.
The context: China buys 80%+ of Iran's oil. The Strait of Hormuz is a Chinese strategic interest.
Message to the Global South: sovereignty requires strength. No one else will save you.
Which lesson matters most to you?

Iran Is Not Iraq
‘Shock and awe’ was the term used to describe the US operation against Iraq in spring 2003. In hindsight, it marked a turning point. The rapid defeat of the Ba’athist regime and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein created the impression that the US had acquired the ability to reshape entire regions at will.
Reality turned out differently. The war did bring change, but not the kind its architects envisaged. The old order in the Middle East collapsed, replaced not by stability but by a chain of crise... Read more »

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 AMERICA’S IRAN STRIKES: A WAR LAB IN REAL TIME
War used to be about destroying the enemy, now it’s also about testing the next generation of weapons, and the latest U.S. campaign against Iran makes that painfully clear.
Footage from U.S. destroyers shows something unusual, variants of the Tomahawk cruise missile we’ve never seen before.
One appears coated in a dark, radar-absorbing finish, the kind typically used on stealth weapons to make them harder for air defenses to detect.
Another seems to fly with wings swept forward rather than in the missile’s traditional configuration.
These hint at a new generation of Tomahawks designed to survive increasingly sophisticated air defense systems.
For the first time ever, the U.S. also appears to have deployed the Precision Strike Missile, a new ground-launched aeroballistic weapon fired from HIMARS launchers.
Only a small number of these missiles even exist so far, yet they’re already being used in combat.
