⚡Houthi political council member Ali Amad to Tasnim:

"If the American-Zionist war against Iran resumes, our hand will be on the trigger."

He warned Saudi Arabia would "pay a heavy price" if it joins any war against Iran, and called Iran "the commander of the axis of jihad and resistance," saying control of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab is "a divine gift" to the axis.

⚡Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif:

"Pakistan strongly condemns the missile and drone attacks against civilian infrastructure in the UAE last night. I express full solidarity with Mohammed bin Zayed. Pakistan stands firmly with our Emirati brothers and sisters and with the UAE government at this difficult time. It is absolutely essential to maintain the ceasefire and respect it, in order to allow a diplomatic space for dialogue that will lead to lasting peace and stability in the region."

⚡IMF:

We have to expect a much worse outcome’ if Iran war lasts until 2027.

Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the IMF’s previous prediction that the US-Israel war on Iran would lead to a slowdown in global economic growth and a minor increase in prices was no longer valid.

She added that if the war continues into 2027 and oil prices remain at $125 a barrel, “we have to expect a much worse outcome”.

Iran did itself a big favour by not striking America or Israel in a preemptive strike before the war started even at that the Epstein PDFile team still triedp to build a case against Iran claiming they had intelligence that Iran was about to strike first and that what was made them struck until Trump's counter terrorism Chief Joe Kent came out to tell the world that it was a lie that Iran never posed any imminent threat to America and that it was Netanyahu and the Israeli lobby AIPAC that dragged America into this war.

Go online and see the massive support Iran received in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. There is a video online showing Americans hurling things at Pete Hegseth calling him war criminal and killer of school children in Iran. They even called their department of war the department of war crimes.

Americans were brainwashed for decades by their govt that Iran was the evil they are not buy that bullshit anymore. Their eyes have opened. If Iran had pulled the trigger first the tide would not have turned against U.S and Israel this way. If U.S and Israel resume hostilities Iran knows how to respond in kind but carrying out a preemptive strike should be avoided.
I agree with your statement same way I agreed with someone here sometime ago with the same assertion.

But that attack was all Iran need to continue this fight until a conclusive end to this war is established.
So the bombing of Emirati oil facility is no different from a text book retaliatory response.

⚡South Korea is reviewing the US proposal on whether to join ‘Project Freedom’ in the Strait of Hormuz

Emphasizing maritime passage, free navigation meets all nations' common interest, Seoul says review based on ‘military readiness posture on the Korean Peninsula, domestic laws’

Seoul’s response comes after a South Korean vessel, carrying 24 crew, caught fire following an explosion

Soon after the incident, US President Donald Trump called on Seoul to join the US-led mission in the waterway.

⚡2 U.S. Army soldiers went missing around 9 PM on May 2 in southern Morocco near the Cap Draa training area by Tan Tan during the African Lion 2026.

• The incident happened off duty during a recreational hike near coastal cliffs.

• One soldier fell into the Atlantic. A second jumped in to rescue him.

• A third attempted to help using a belt chain, then entered the water but made it back to shore safely.

• The 2 who went into the water remain missing.

• Officials say no foul play is suspected. Strong currents and waves are believed to be the cause.

•. A large multinational search involving U.S. and Moroccan forces with aircraft, drones, ships, and divers is ongoing as of May 5.

⚡Russia has for the first time used a new small-sized missile type "Banderol," said the head of the Kharkov Regional Prosecutor's Office, Yuri Papusha.

The S8000 Banderol (meaning "parcel" or "small package" ) is a low-cost, air-launched cruise missile developed by the Russian sanctioned defense contractor Kronshtadt Group. First identified by Ukrainian intelligence in April 2025, it is a "hybrid" weapon that blends the characteristics of a cruise missile and a long-range kamikaze drone.

A standout feature reported by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (GUR) is its ability to perform tighter, sharper turns than conventional Russian cruise missiles like the Kh-101 or Kalibr, allowing it to better navigate around air defenses.

It's specs look similar to the Geran-5 with a speed above 500 km per hour (up to 650) but it is significantly larger with a bigger payload.

Kingsnairaland:
One analyst said even if Russia commit genocide in Ukraine cnn and UK USA evil Nato fans will help Russia hide it

Lol

Because they are ashamed to point out the destruction Russia is giving Ukraine

Many civilians are dying in Ukraine daily and the new parade threat more will die once that escalated time reach in
Ukraine
The threat towards Kyiv and Ukraine in it entirety is no joke.

Russia should better focus on the Ukrainian regime and target politicians and military only.
I can't confirm if Putin is giving this order directly but it seems more likely that it's him. And I know that many Russian warhawks are inching to carryout a massive bombing campaign with zero regards to civilian population.



There's a reason why I said that Russia should treat the Ukrainian regime as a terrorist state which will hasten the destruction of this shackles currently on the Ukrainian population.
Personally, I believe Ukraine's demography is in complete disaster.
If the population for some reasons want an end to this conflict, there's absolutely nothing they can do.
Can women and children lead a fruitful protest?
If any male of age joins such protest, they'll be forcibly mobilized to the Frontlines.
Let's not talk about corruption: Every well doing Ukrainian is out of the country or has successfully relocated his/her family out of the country since hostilities broke out.

99.9% of every rich person in Ukraine right now is a corrupt criminal.
