Iran’s operational momentum contradicts US claims of capacity loss

Despite claims by United States officials that Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been largely destroyed, data from recent weeks suggests Tehran’s operational capacity has shown no significant decline, with attacks continuing at a steady pace across Israel and several regional countries since February 28.

Kremlin warns Middle East conflict to have 'devastating' consequences for global economy

The Kremlin said on Sunday that the US-Israeli aggression in the Middle East caused devastating consequences for the global economy, which will have a long-term impact.

The Board of Peace was officially established in January, when 19 countries signed its charter in Davos. Initially, the structure was created to manage the Gaza Strip as part of agreements between Israel and Hamas, but Washington is actively promoting the idea of using the body to prevent a...
