🌎 Japanese officials through its foreign ministry channels have strongly protested and condemned the Russian President's first trip to the Kuril islands as a "blatant violation of territorial integrity." Japan brands the islands the "Northern Territories" or "Four Northern Islands" to be Internationally recognized territory of Japan with Russia however insisting that the Southern Kurils were legally absorbed into Soviet Union after World War II, and that its sovereignty there is ironclad. Putin has acknowledged Japan's territorial claims, but maintains that the matter is already settled in black-and-white international law: the Kurils are Russian territory. |

🌎 UAE Aluminum giant company, the "Emirates Global Aluminium" said it will spend about $400 million restoring its Al Taweelah smelter in Abu Dhabi, shut down by an Iranian missile and drone strike on March 28. The plant, one of the world’s largest, produced 1.6 million tons a year and five months on, it runs at just 18% of capacity, with full recovery not expected until early 2027. The strike, part of Iran’s retaliation in the US-Israeli war, rippled through markets as Gulf producers make up about 10% of world aluminum supply, and the attacks sent prices to four-year highs. EGA now exports via routes bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, a sign of how Iran’s grip on the strait has reshaped Gulf industry oil and gas. |

🌎 Satellite images have shown that the United States military and Air National Guard have resumed using Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE for the naval blockade of Iran on August 10, 2026 (48 hours ago). Assets involved in Iran's naval blockade have been moved back to Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, including four KC-135R tankers, several AH-64D/E Apache attack helicopters, and 14 A-10C+ fighter jets. A satellite image taken on August 10 shows four KC-135Rs back at Al-Dhafra AB. These aircraft had been evacuated under pressure from the UAE government on July 22 and 23, 2026. Now, Al-Dhafra has once again been declared safe for hosting all the elements needed for the naval blockade of Iran, from MQ-9A Reaper armed drones to KC-135R/Ts. To avoid Iranian attacks on this air base, the UAE government has continued releasing Iran's frozen assets, including 1.5 tonnes of gold worth $212 million USD, which were transferred from Abu Dhabi to Payam Airport in Karaj, Iran, on August 12, 2026 (today). 1 Like |

Conflicting morals are starting to come into play, hence putting her capacity to "properly" function in the Epstein administration, into question. Also, Hegseth is rumoured to be the staunch voice behind her removal. So this is considered her soft landing. 3 Likes 1 Share |

🌎 The Emirati government has reportedly released several billion dollars more of Iran’s frozen assets held in Emirati banks, including at least 1.5 tonnes of gold worth approximately $212 million. The assets were flown to Iran aboard Boeing 737-7KK BBJ A6-RJA, operated by UAE-based RoyalJet, from Abu Dhabi to Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport and Payam Airport in Karaj on August 11 and 12, 2026. This is the third time the UAE government has released and transferred Iran’s frozen assets back to Iran. This is also believed to be one of the key reasons the Islamic regime of Iran spared the UAE during the renewed conflict and escalation of hostilities between Iran and the United States in July. 1 Like |
