⚡Greece and Ukraine agreed to co-produce Ukrainian naval drones in Greek shipyards in 2025, giving Greece access to proven war tech and Ukraine a new production base. But now the deal is stalled because Ukraine wants a formal say (possibly veto power) over how Greece could use those drones in a conflict. Greek officials suspect Ukraine is trying not to antagonize Türkiye, a key Black Sea player and mediator with Russia.

Iran President went on TV and asked the people to turn on 2 lights instead of 10. He blamed damage on infrastructure instead of the blockade. There were reports of.some in Iran pushing for negotiations. Latest Estimates of total oil in Iranian tankers is 166 million barrels. They are just floating around with nowhere to take their oil . A single large volume tanker offloading 2 million barrels is a drop in the ocean. The Ayatollahs should just give up everything and sell of that and pay their IRGC crew laying mines at the Straits of Hormuz. |

Chris Rollins @ThePowerAudit Analysis of Iran's 14-point proposal to the US. This proposal is not a negotiation. It is a regime documenting that it "tried peace" before what comes next. Iran's 14-point response was delivered through Pakistan to a US 9-point proposal. The US wanted a two-month ceasefire. Iran demanded 30 days. They are bleeding $170 million daily under the blockade and cannot afford Washington's timeline. First, it demands phased steps toward lifting the naval blockade and releasing frozen assets. Earlier versions demanded full upfront removal. The fact that Iran is already softening its own opening position tells you who has the leverage. Second, it requires a permanent end to the war on all fronts including Lebanon and Yemen. Binding Iran's fate to Hezbollah and the Houthis guarantees US rejection. Third, it insists Iran retains uranium enrichment rights. This directly contradicts Trump's stated war objective that Iran will never have nuclear weapons. Fourth, it declares missile capabilities non-negotiable and rejects any international inspectors. Iran's stated reason is that they consider international inspectors to be spies for Israeli intelligence services. Given that Israel just killed their supreme leader using precise intelligence on his location, this fear is not irrational. But it still closes the door on the one verification mechanism Washington would require. Fifth, it demands US troop withdrawal from Arab countries and the entire region. Sixth, it demands war reparations and compensation from the country currently blockading it. Seventh, it proposes a "new Hormuz system" under Iranian management. Qatar's own FM told Araghchi tonight this deepens the crisis. Meanwhile, Iran's own parliament publicly declared nuclear negotiations banned. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi is burning through every back channel he has tonight, calling Qatar, Oman, Pakistan, and Russia. And this proposal was published by Tasnim, the IRGC's media outlet, not through presidential channels. The people negotiating and the people publishing are different factions with different goals. That is what Trump meant by 'disjointed leadership In summary, Iran's proposal asks Washington to give up everything it won militarily in exchange for promises from a regime whose supreme leader is dead, whose navy is destroyed, and whose own parliament contradicts its own foreign minister on live television. The proposal's real audience is Tehran, not Washington. |

⚡New Die Welt profile on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz resurfaced a 2020 Zoom mishap. During a COVID-era interview, Merz couldn’t hear anyone because he hadn’t turned on his speakers. After a few seconds, he got frustrated and started yelling and swearing, while everyone else could hear him. An aide, Armin Peter, quickly fixed it by pointing out the mute/speaker issue.

⚡Nigeria has earned $3.71 billion in oil revenue over two months as Middle East tensions, particularly the Iran conflict, drove up global oil prices. A local news outlet reported that Nigeria is reaping the benefits of the war, according to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission. The strong income was mainly due to higher prices rather than increased production, with March generating $862 million and April $2.88 billion in windfalls.

⚡King Mohammed VI of Morocco appointed Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan (22) to a senior military coordination post inside the armed forces, marking his first real operational role. The Role: “Coordinator of the Offices and Services of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR)”, a central position linking logistics, intelligence, and strategy across the military. This is a hands-on command track, not ceremonial. It mirrors the exact path Mohammed VI took as crown prince.

⚡The U.S. Dark Eagle hypersonic missile costs $40 million a unit and takes a month to build. Russia's Kinzhal runs $4 to 10 million, while China is producing hundreds of hypersonics a year across multiple types at a fraction of that cost. The U.S. has the most expensive hypersonic missile in the world, hand-built at low volume. Russia offers better value at scale, and China being China is going for mass saturation. The Dark Eagle is the most expensive hypersonic missile in the world, but produced at a rate that wouldn't survive a long war.
