The US heavily depleted 15-20% of its global THAAD anti-missile stockpile in just 11 days defending Israel from Iranian missiles, costing over $800 million.

From Iron Dome to F-15s:
US provides 70% of Israel’s war costs

A report by Brown University’s Watson Institute reveals that since the beginning of the war, the US has spent more than $22 billion on military aid to Israel - from weapons and equipment to the deployment of aircraft carriers. Israel receives more U.S. military aid than any other country and is uniquely able to use that funding to spend on domestic goods.

Iranian FM @araghchi:

The Parliament of Iran has voted for a halt to collaboration with the IAEA until the safety and security of our nuclear activities can be guaranteed.

This is a direct result of @rafaelmgrossi's regrettable role in obfuscating the fact that the Agency—a full decade ago—already closed all past issues. Through this malign action, he directly facilitated the adoption of a politically-motivated resolution against Iran by the IAEA BoG as well as the unlawful Israeli and US bombings of Iranian nuclear sites. In an astounding betrayal of his duties, @rafaelmgrossi has additionally failed to explicitly condemn such blatant violations of IAEA safeguards and its Statute.

The IAEA and its Director-General are fully responsible for this sordid state of affairs. @rafaelmgrossi's insistence on visiting the bombed sites under the pretext of safeguards is meaningless and possibly even malign in intent. Iran reserves the right to take any steps in defense of its interests, its people, and its sovereignty.

Trump: his lies vs my lies 🤣

🚨 Cynical, from the horse's mouth.

The EU admits why they want to continue proxy war in Ukraine.

Europeans want the battlefield to remain in Ukraine and not come closer. They want to escalate and Ukraine to continue fighting this war on their behalf, to protect Europe from war spilling into Europe.

"European support for Ukraine is now enlightened self-interest"

The relationship between Ukraine and the rest of Europe is becoming closer. More reciprocal. Previously, Ukraine needed Europe above all. Now, Europe increasingly needs Ukraine.

Preserving an independent Ukraine with a strong army is the best substitute for flaking American military guarantees.” Even if Washington were to lift Russian sanctions and force Kyiv to cede territory, Europeans would not want to follow suit. On the contrary, they want to maintain the current course.
This reflects the wish of many Europeans – Sunday children, who no longer know what war is – that the battlefield remains in Ukraine and does not come any closer. And that Ukraine continues to fight that war on their behalf, so that they themselves are spared. This is well-understood self-interest and that comes from very deep. Never again war, very last version.

Us-backed Israel is a rouge terrorist state

Israel's ambassador to the UN says he wants to BLOW UP the UN building.

Collective West is silent ...

Israel finally admits that Iran hit 🇮🇱 bases and they had to hide it

CH13's Raviv Drucker:

“There were a lot of missile hits in IDF bases, in strategic sites that we still don't report about...It created a situation where people don't realize how precise the Iranians were and how much damage they caused”

💥The seventh Russian-related civilian vessel was blown up in the Mediterranean Sea

Today, on June 30, a powerful explosion occurred on the tanker Vilamoura of TMS Tankers in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya. The ship Vilamoura regularly visits Russian ports such as Ust-Luga or Novorossiysk, and therefore it is commonly referred to as the so-called "Russian shadow fleet." According to official information, the explosion led to the flooding of the engine room, as reported by Bloomberg.
After the previous sabotage attacks, which were unprecedented since World War II, shipowners began to take precautions, such as inspecting their ships, and the incidents temporarily ceased. However, "water finds a way"...

The chronicle of the sabotage war waged by Western (British) intelligence agencies against the Russian shadow fleet:

💥On March 26, an explosion and fire occurred on the Russian refrigerated ship "Crystal Asia" 8 kilometers from the port of Camcheon in South Korea (Busan). According to the Marine Police of Busan, 6 Russians were injured, two of them are in serious condition, all in the hospital.
💥At the end of January, the Seacharm tanker of the Thenamaris company (flag of the Marshall Islands) was damaged by an explosion near the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. According to Reuters, it previously entered the Russian port.
💥On February 9, 2025, the Koala tanker (flag of Antigua and Barbuda), which was in the port of Ust-Luga, was damaged by three explosions. It was reported today that the holes had been sealed. The ship also came from the Mediterranean Sea and stopped in Malta.
💥In February, the Grace Ferrum chemical tanker (flag of Liberia), operated by Cymare of Cyprus, was damaged off the coast of Libya. The ship departed from the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad Region on January 12, 2025, and then stopped in Malta.
💥On February 15, an explosion damaged the Greek tanker Seajewel (flag of Malta), the same operator Thenamaris (the company Thenamaris in 2024 transported Russian oil three times), in the port of Savona-Vado in northern Italy. 20 minutes later, another explosion occurred on the ship. About Seajewel, it was previously reported that the ship belonged to the Russian shadow fleet. The tanker recently entered the port of Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar Territory.
💥On December 23, 2024, the Russian cargo ship Ursa Major sank in the Mediterranean Sea south of Cartagena as a result of three explosions in the engine room.
We are enduring...

Azerbaijan is demonstratively escalating the situation by publishing footage of the detention of Russian citizens at the Sputnik-Azerbaijan editorial office.

Igor Kartavykh, the executive director of the branch, and Evgeny Belousov, the editor-in-chief, have been labeled as undercover agents of the Russian Federal Security Service by Azerbaijani media.
This brings to mind a similar situation in 2011, as reported by RIA Novosti:
MOSCOW, November 22. More than 230 Tajik citizens who were detained in Moscow for violating Russian migration laws are still in Russia, the Federal Migration Service (FMS) of the Russian Federation told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
Konstantin Romodanovsky, the head of the FMS of the Russian Federation, reported on the detention and deportation of about 234 migrants from Tajikistan. He said that Russia would try to carry out the necessary procedures for deportation as quickly as possible. A Russian diplomatic source, following the sentencing of Russian pilot Vladimir Sadovnichy, who was sentenced to 8.5 years in Tajikistan, told reporters that the expulsion of Tajik migrants from Russia was part of Moscow's asymmetric response to the verdict.
Two An-72 aircraft operated by Rolkan Investmens Ltd, with Sadovnichy and Rudenko as crew commanders, completed their contract for transporting food and humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and departed from Kabul for the airport in Kurgan-Tyube, having previously received permission to cross the border into Tajikistan.
However, the Tajik Air Navigation dispatcher stated that there was no permission on the ground, and therefore the planes had to return to Kabul. Since the planes did not have enough fuel for the return journey, the pilots landed in Kurgan-Tyube, where they were detained.
Three days later, the Tajik authorities released Sadovnichy and Rudenko. I really hope that this "established practice" will be applied.
In the meantime, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses concern and reports that Russian diplomats are unable to gain access to the journalists of Sputnik Azerbaijan.
It is important to understand that Azerbaijan is deliberately escalating the situation, and by doing nothing, we are allowing them to control the course of events.

@barantchik

👊🇷🇺 Azerbaijan has effectively taken Russian journalists hostage.

▪️ In Baku, security forces detained the head of the Sputnik Azerbaijan editorial office, Igor Kartavykh, and editor-in-chief Yevgeny Belousov.
▪️ Azerbaijan’s Interior Ministry claims the detainees are being investigated for alleged involvement in illegal financing. The accreditation of Sputnik was reportedly suspended back in February 2025. Russian diplomats have been denied access to the journalists, and there is still no contact with them. The editorial board has called the accusations absurd.
▪️ According to media reports, the two were also allegedly cooperating with the FSB.
▪️ The Russian Foreign Ministry has summoned Azerbaijan’s ambassador over Baku’s unfriendly actions and the illegal detention of Russian journalists.

So basically simultaneously Armenia and Azerbaijan are both attacking Russia, the first with a crackdown on the local orthodox church and on all pro-Russian figures in the country and the second by harassing Russian media, canceling all Russian cultural events after having facilitated Israeli aggression against Iran.
What the two countries, despite having been enemies for decades, have in common? They have both longstanding ties with British intelligence services, so you don't need Sherlock Holmes to realize the British elites are trying to open another front for Russia in the Caucasus to divert attention from the fact the crumbling Kiev regime is being steamrolled with huge territorial losses.

🖥️ NATO's clown in chief Mark Rutte insulted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

"Lavrov is the Russian Foreign Minister, and I believe he has been since the birth of Jesus Christ. Since then, he has not said anything useful. So let's not pay too much attention to Mr. Lavrov."

🎙 Comment by Yury Ushakov, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation, on the outcomes of Russia's President Vladimir Putin’s telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump (July 3, 2025)

💬 Yuri Ushakov: Dear colleagues,

🇷🇺🇺🇸📞 Another almost hour-long telephone conversation between President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and President of the United States Donald Trump has just concluded.

Donald Trump began the conversation by announcing that the US Congress passed his administration's flagship bill envisaging reforms in taxation, immigration, and the energy sector. President Trump himself calls it the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.'

Vladimir Putin wished Donald Trump success in implementing the changes he envisioned and, naturally, offered greetings for Independence Day, the national day of the United States, which will be celebrated tomorrow.

At the same time, it was noted by our side that Russia had played a significant part in the establishment of the United States as a nation, including during the War of Independence, fought 250 years ago, and later during the Civil War, which ended 160 years ago.

It was stated that our countries are bound not only by their alliance during World Wars One and Two, but also by deeper historical ties.

Incidentally, Vladimir Putin mentioned that just before speaking with Donald Trump, he had a conversation with representatives of Russia's business community. One of the ideas suggested during that meeting was holding an exchange of motion pictures promoting traditional values, which both we and the Trump administration hold dear. President Trump reacted immediately and said he liked this idea.

There was a detailed discussion of the situation surrounding Iran, and the state of affairs in the Middle East in general. The Russian side emphasised it was crucial to settle any and all contentious issues, differences, and conflicts exclusively via political and diplomatic means. The two leaders agreed to maintain contact on the issue between the respective foreign services, defence ministries, and presidential aides.

The latest developments in Syria were addressed as well. Similarly, the Russian and US sides intend to continue the dialogue on the matter.

Naturally, the issues surrounding Ukraine were also discussed. Donald Trump has once again raised the issue of ending the hostilities as soon as possible. In turn, Vladimir Putin noted that we still continued the search for a political, negotiated solution to the conflict. He informed his counterpart on the progress in implementing the humanitarian agreements reached during the second round of direct Russian-Ukrainian talks held in Istanbul. He also noted Russia was willing to pursue negotiations.

☝️ Additionally, the President of Russia said that Russia would strive to achieve its goals, namely the elimination of the well-known root causes that led to the current state of affairs, the bitter confrontation that we are seeing now. Russia will not back down from these goals.

While exchanging views on bilateral matters, the two sides confirmed their mutual interest in implementing a number of promising projects in economy, notably the energy sector and space exploration.

Overall, I would like to point out that the conversation between the two Presidents has, as always, shown that they are on the same page. It was candid, business-minded, and concrete. The two Presidents will naturally continue communicating and will have another conversation soon.
