Pakistan Bypasses Afghanistan With New Corridors Through Iran and China

(July 6, 2026)

This development is particularly critical given the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis. Gwadar is situated 400 km east of the strait and serves as a virtual bypass of the conflict zone, allowing Central Asian exports to reach international waters without entering the high-risk zones of the Persian Gulf.

For Pakistan, this creates a substantial economic windfall as well. By positioning itself as the primary transit state for a massive market, the country is positioning itself to secure consistent revenue through port handling, logistics, and transit fees. In the wake of the Strait of Hormuz crisis, tariff at the Gwadar port has multiplied.

Iran’s scientific frontline against sanctions and cancer

(June 11, 2025)

Many radiopharmaceuticals, especially those used in PET scans, have very short half-lives. This means they decay significantly within a short period, reducing their effectiveness.

Consequently, the „last mile“ of radiopharmaceutical delivery, including transport, is crucial for maintaining the drug‘s potency and safety.

Speaking to IRIB TV3 on Monday night, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami explained that importing radiopharmaceuticals were impossible until recently.

This was because Western countries refused to provide radiopharmaceuticals to Iran due to sanctions, while regional airlines such as Qatar Airways did not undertake such shipments, he said.

Saudi Arabia and its allies must curb the growing Israeli-Emirati axis

(4 May 2026 16:12 BST | Last update: 2 hours 57 mins ago)

Iranian sources told MEE that Iranian intelligence had established the Emirati role in the attacks went beyond hosting US bases.

One official said: „Iranian intelligence believes the UAE also made some of its own air facilities available for operations against Iran.“ Abu Dhabi has served as an advanced platform for Israeli interests in the region, the official said.

He suggested this included „deception operations“ – false-flag Israeli attacks on Oman and at least one other country intended to look like Iranian ones.

Iran also believes that cooperation included the use of the AI infrastructure within the UAE to support data collection and analysis for US and Israeli targeting.

If Iran were to be invaded, the UAE would be treated as an aggressor, one diplomat told MEE.

That the UAE has gone way beyond its Gulf neighbours in supporting the US and Israeli attack on Iran, is down to one man, its President Mohammed bin Zayed, often referred to by the acronym MBZ.

U.S. moves closer to establishing domestic supply of Mo-99 for nuclear imaging

(December 18, 2024)

The U.S. government has worked for several years to help establish a domestically produced supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99)to stabilize access to this critical radio-isotope used for more than 75% of medical nuclear imaging exams. The U.S. currently relies on 100% of its Mo-99 supplies from foreign reactors overseas, making the country‘s medical imaging supply chain vulnerable. This was the case in October and early November, when one of the key aging European reactors was taken off line for emergency repairs.

(…)

Historically, Mo-99 has been sourced from a handful of older research reactors outside the U.S., much of which came from the Chalk River reactor in Canada. But that 60-year-old reactor closed in 2018, and the reliance on reactors outside the states, including one Russian reactor for some medical isotopes, has left the U.S. vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.

“The world depends on six reactors, many of which are decades old,” Cutler explained. “These facilities coordinate their operations to minimize disruptions, but when maintenance issues arise, shortages can quickly follow.”

China restricts fertiliser exports, further crimping war-tightened supply

In mid-March, Beijing banned exports of nitrogen-potassium fertiliser blends and certain phosphate varieties, sources told Reuters.

The ban, which has not been formally unveiled, was reported earlier this week ​by Bloomberg News.

Added to existing bans and export quotas for urea, only a handful of fertilisers – notably ammonium sulphate – can be exported, five sources ​said. That would mean between half and three quarters of China‘s exports last year are restricted, potentially up to 40 ⁠million metric tons, according to a Reuters estimate.

Trump Moves to Cut Off All Oil to Cuba as U.S. Takes Aim at Its Government

(January 30, 2026)

The Trump administration’s latest move to cut off oil shipments to an already-struggling Cuba is a significant escalation in the decades-long effort by the United States to topple the Cuban government.

On Thursday, President Trump declared a “national emergency” over what he called the “unusual and extraordinary threat” by Cuba for its hostile actions, including, he said, allowing Russia to spy on the United States from its territory and “welcoming” hostile nations, like Iran, and terrorist groups, like Hamas and Hezbollah. (Mr. Trump did not provide evidence for any of those claims.)

Under the deal, most EU exports are subject to a 15 percent U.S. tariff.

A fatal motorcycle accident leaves Israel‘s most serious security corruption case unresolved.

(January 9, 2026)

In this case, media consultant Tzachi Lieber is accused of acting as an intermediary for bribes between Michael Ganor, who was the representative of the German industrial engineering company ThyssenKrupp in Israel, and David Sharan, who was chief of staff to Prime Minister Netanyahu.

(…)

The dilemma facing the system is now complex. On the one hand, allowing a new judge to render a verdict based solely on transcripts and submitted evidence is problematic, as a criminal verdict should be based on the judge‘s direct impression of the witnesses and the accused, and on their credibility.

On the other hand, having the witnesses, or some of them, re-tested by another judge is also problematic and would mean the case would drag on for years. As mentioned, this would also delay Lieber‘s required testimony in the main case against Sharan and Ganor.

ISRAELI JUDGE HANDLING NETANYAHU-LINKED CASE KILLED IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT

(Januar 6, 2026)

Judge Benny Sagi, president of Israel‘s Beersheba District Court, was killed Sunday when a vehicle struck his motorcycle on Route 6.

Police say a vehicle driving off-road entered the highway and collided with Sagi‘s bike near Kfar Menachem kibbutz.

Paramedics found him with no pulse, multiple injuries.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sagi was handling aspects of Case 3000, the „Submarines Affair“ involving corruption in Israeli naval deals.

Netanyahu has been questioned in this case but not charged.

Sagi was NOT presiding over Netanyahu‘s main corruption trial (Cases 1000, 2000, 4000).

That case is being heard by a three-judge panel in Jerusalem District Court.

Netanyahu‘s testimony in his primary trial was shortened Monday to allow attendance at Sagi‘s funeral.

Israeli authorities and major news organizations have categorized this as a traffic accident.

An investigation has been launched.

Some regional outlets and social media have called the death „suspicious“ given Sagi‘s role in sensitive cases, but no evidence of foul play has been reported.

Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on Sudan and South Sudan

(October 30, 2025)

The United States condemns in the strongest terms the horrific violence occurring in El Fasher. The situation is both tragic and appalling.

We have said this before, and we will say it again – the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias have committed genocide.

The RSF has and continues to systematically kill men and boys – even infants – and deliberately target women and children for rape and other forms of brutal sexual violence. These crimes are ethnically motivated.

RSF militias are targeting civilians as they flee, killing innocent people escaping conflict, and preventing those who remain from accessing life-saving supplies.

The United States condemns these abhorrent atrocities in no uncertain terms. Those responsible should be held accountable, including through sanctions, as noted by the Sudan Sanctions Panel of Experts in its most recent report.

Colleagues, ending wars is a priority for President Trump, and the United States remains committed to working with our partners and other stakeholders to resolve the crisis.

British military equipment has been found on battlefields in Sudan, used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of genocide, according to documents seen by the UN security council.

Months after the UN security council first received material alleging that the UAE may have supplied British-made items to the RSF, new data indicates that the British government went on to approve further exports to the Gulf state for military equipment of the same type.

British engines made specifically for a type of UAE-manufactured armoured personnel carrier also appear to have been exported to the Emirates, despite evidence that the vehicles had been used in Libya and Yemen in defiance of UN arms embargos.

If U.S. Gives Ukraine Long-Range Missiles, What Besides JASSM-ER Could Hit moscow

(July 15, 2025)

The specifics remain unknown. Some sources mention „offensive missiles,“ others claim these weapons will have the range to strike targets as far as Moscow. Still others explicitly state that they will be JASSM cruise missiles. All of these reports point to one clear requirement: the missiles must have a range of at least 500 km to reach Moscow from the Ukrainian border.

The AGM-158 JASSM has been under consideration for Ukraine since a time when Kyiv did not even possess F-16s. This potential transfer is closely tied to the F-16 itself, as this multirole fighter is one of the JASSM’s standard launch platforms. However, it is possible that Ukraine’s aircraft would require software upgrades to fully employ these missiles.
