Rachel Blevins   and Cyrus Janssen President Trump seems to think the deal he secured with President Putin for Russia to supply the global market with around 4 million tons of diesel in the coming months would be enough to get Moscow to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine. But Russia is holding firm that it will not give NATO time to rearm Kiev.  Cyrus Janssen, a geopolitical analyst and Host of ‘Real Talk with Cyrus Janssen’ on YouTube, noted that Trump’s diesel deal is “just a drop in the bucket” in terms of the fuel supply needed by the U.S., and the current crisis is the result of the U.S. war of aggression on Iran, which sparked the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Yemen's Houthis warn all employees and civilians near any Saudi Aramco oil facility in Saudi Arabia to immediately evacuate and stay away, declaring every Aramco site a legitimate target.

According to Israeli media, Netanyahu wants to strike the Houthis and defend Saudi Arabia to show Israel's strategic utility to the kingdom and lure it into a defense pact (Abraham Accords). MBS has thus far resisted, although unverified reports say Israeli advisors are already on the ground in Saudi Arabia to assist the kingdom. MBS understandably does not want an Israeli role - or at least not a visible Israeli role - as it profoundly undermines KSA's standing in the Islamic world. But it also reflects that terrible strategic position Riyadh currently finds itself in.

Geopolitical Economy Report The US government has called to revive Western domination of the planet. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech in Greece that openly praised colonialism and erased history. He claimed the West is "the greatest civilization in the world" and insisted it must "maintain its place at the head of the world". Ben Norton explains how the idea of a unified "Western civilization" is a political myth used to justify imperialism. He fact-checks Rubio's remarks and provides important historical context that the Donald Trump administration refuses to acknowledge.

Janta Ka Reporter A top Iranian general has warned Trump of an unprecedented threat to destroy $2 trillion worth of US targets in and around the UAE, dramatically escalating tensions ahead of the critical US midterm elections.

Saudi Arabia restarted its war in Yemen against the Houthis (officially known as Ansarallah), the political movement that governs 80% of the Yemeni population. Pakistan and Turkey (Türkiye) have joined the war. Syria supports it. Ben Norton explains how this crisis is growing, why the Donald Trump administration is fueling it, and how it is further destabilizing the oil market and global economy.

Iran is now threatening to directly strike the UAE and target undersea internet cables, data centers and AI facilities across the region if the U.S. and Israel resume the war, warning the next conflict could extend far beyond military targets, per Press TV. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee warned: “If another war breaks out, many cables, data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and other sites in the region will be destroyed and we will confront the enemy with a much broader and more extensive plan.” He added that U.S. assets in the UAE and around the Strait of Hormuz remain “extremely valuable” but are not yet on Iran’s target list, claiming regional cables, data centers and AI facilities are worth over $2 trillion. The threat puts major U.S. tech firms including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle and Nvidia in focus. AWS has reported damage to facilities in Bahrain and the UAE, while the IRGC has already designated 18 U.S. tech companies as “legitimat...
