Russian oil tankers close in on Cuba after island's worst blackout in decades #bnl #Cuba #Russia #EnergyCrisis #OilEmbargo #Blackout #UnitedStates #Tankers #Geopolitics #LatinAmerica #DonaldTrump intellinews.com/russian-oil-ta…
QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan Industrial City to the north of Doha, Qatar's main site for the production of liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquid, as well as the largest export terminal for LNG in the world, has been heavily targeted tonight by ballistic missiles fired by Iran. Extensive damage to the site and several facilities are being reported by QatarEnergy.
The Israeli targeting of facilities linked to Iran’s South Pars field, an extension of Qatar’s North Field, is a dangerous & irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region. Targeting energy infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region & its environment. We reiterate, as we have repeatedly emphasized, the necessity of avoiding the targeting of vital facilities. We call on all parties to exercise restraint, adhere to international law, & work toward de-escalation in a manner that preserves the security & stability of the region.
Прямо сейчас по всей Краснопресненской набережной в Москве сотрудники ФСО и коммунальщики досматривают люки, полно патрулей полиции, зачищены все парковки, расставлены автобусы с ОМОН и Росгвардией.
EXCL: UK national security adviser Jonathan Powell attended final talks between US and Iran - and judged Tehran's offer on its nuclear programme was significant enough to prevent rush to war @patrickwintour & @julianborger reveal theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
Europe is more paralysed than divided over the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. Rather than fostering a shared sense of purpose, this crisis risks hollowing out Europe’s identity and undermining its ability to act independently in the world. My oped theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
