⚡️🇷🇺🇧🇾🇺🇦 The Kremlin has been pressuring Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko since early 2026 to expand Minsk’s role in the war effort to launch drones, create northern border threats, and divert Ukrainian forces from the eastern front — WSJ citing US and European officials.

➡️ Russian Ambassador Boris Gryzlov is mediating Moscow's threats to reduce financial subsidies if Minsk resists demands, which also include utilizing Belarusian territory for hybrid operations near NATO borders to test Alliance responses.

➡️ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently warned Minsk to dismantle infrastructure supporting Russian drone operations or face unilateral Ukrainian action, while reporting a surge in Belarusian gasoline exports to Russia during the first five months of 2026.

➡️ The Belarusian United Transitional Cabinet opposition group warned that the regime may be preparing for direct war entry, citing military expansion, closer integration with Russian forces, new wartime legislation, and large-scale drills, United24 Media reported.

🇻🇪⚡️ — NEW: The death toll from the earthquakes in Venezuela has risen to 188, with 1,520 people injured, while more than 50,000 people are reported missing in the aftermath of the disaster.

🇺🇸 💥🇮🇷 BREAKING — US STRIKES IRAN AGAIN

🇺🇸 IMPERIAL SIDE OF THE STORY:

CENTCOM has just announced a new wave of US strikes against multiple targets inside Iran, ordered directly by the Kiddy Diddler in Chief.

The claimed trigger was the Iranian drone attack on the Panama-flagged tanker M/T Kiku this morning near the Strait of Hormuz — carrying over 2 million barrels of crude oil. This came after yesterday's US strikes in response to Iran's attack on M/V Ever Lovely, following which Iran was given an opportunity to honour the ceasefire but chose not to.

➡️(Claimed) Targets hit in today's strikes:
🔶 Military surveillance infrastructure
🔶 Communication systems
🔶 Air defence sites
🔶 Drone storage facilities
🔶 Minelayer capabilities

🇮🇷 IRANIAN SIDE:

➡️Minutes after the strikes, IRIB correspondents on the ground in Sirik and Qeshm Island reported explosions and projectile impacts — including a telecoms tower struck near Taheroui village and hits near the village of Masen on Qeshm.

➡️Iran's Foreign Ministry has called the strikes *"an explicit violation of paragraph one of the MOU" signed in Islamabad.

➡️IRGC says it has already responded by targeting US military positions in the region and warned that further US action will be met with "a broader response."

🐻And that's how the MoU charade gets taken offline - even before Iran officially left the World Cup... Obviously today's matches are just a formality/going through the motions?

🇮🇷🚀 Iran answers US aggression with missile and drone strikes

The IRGC said its Navy and Aerospace forces carried out a joint missile and drone operation in response to the latest US attacks on Iran.

Between 2 and 3 a.m., Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones toward eight US military infrastructure sites at Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet in Salman port, Bahrain.

💥 The strikes destroyed the targets and were a decisive response to recent US aggression, according to the IRGC.

The statement slammed the US for attacking five Iranian coastal posts under the pretext of Iran confronting a violating ship.

📌 Iran’s message was blunt: under the Islamabad Understanding, arrangements for passage through the Strait of Hormuz must be coordinated with the Islamic Republic — not dictated by the US.

💬 “From now on, stronger actions will be taken against violating ships than before,” the IRGC warned.

👉 And any new US aggression, “for any reason,” will receive a “crushing response,” the statement added.

The IRGC also warned that violating the ceasefire breaches the first clause of the Islamabad Understanding and “will lead to a complete halt of processes.”

🚷 🇫🇷 🗳 83% of French people are in favor of negative immigration

90% of 15-24 year olds are in favor of negative immigration

Should certain categories of foreigners already present in France be deported, particularly delinquents, criminals, or the long-term unemployed? According to a CSA poll for Europe 1, CNews, and the JDD, a very large majority of French people are in favor. In fact, 83% say they support this. Men are in favor at 82%, and women at 84%. Those in higher socioeconomic groups (CSP+) support this at 78%, those in lower socioeconomic groups (CSP-) at 84%, and the unemployed at 87%.

Looking at the age pyramid, support for negative immigration is fairly consistent among a certain category of foreigners. Apart from the 35-49 age group, 77% of whom are in favor, all other age groups are above 80%: 25-34 year olds are at 81%, 50-64 year olds at 83%, and 65 and over at 87%.

Those aged 18-24 are the most supportive of implementing negative immigration policies, with 90% expressing a favorable opinion. Looking at political opinions, the possibility of deporting foreign offenders, criminals, or long-term unemployed individuals also far exceeds the majority, regardless of their political leanings.

On the left, 69% of voters are in favor (66% for La France Insoumise, 75% for the Socialist Party, and 68% for the Greens). On the right, this support is even stronger, with 96% of those who cast a ballot for Les Républicains wanting the process implemented. National Rally voters follow closely behind with 93% in favor.
