Russia, Iran, and China began the 'Maritime Security Belt 2026' exercises on Thursday, focusing on countering maritime threats like piracy through coordinated special forces operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The drills come amid rising U.S.-Iran friction over Tehran's nuclear program, with President Trump issuing a short deadline for a deal and deploying carriers, drones, and bombers to the region. A Russian command plane's arrival in Tehran fueled online worries of escalation, though experts call it posturing tied to deepening Moscow-Tehran ties rather than war preparations.

Critics highlighted U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee's Fox Business comments opposing Gaza aid for Israel and calling for reparations, while reactions included satirical 'Israel First' swaps and Penguin mockery.

The 39-second clip from May 2023 in Pijnacker, southeast of The Hague, shows four or five youths, described locally as non-white boys aged 13 to 15, jeering and pushing the man as he tries to leave. Dutch police arrested the teens soon after, though no major news outlets covered arrests or further details, treating it as a local matter.

With funerals happening often due to the war, the same locals like Ruslan appear repeatedly, turning out each time for processions through the streets.

Nigerian striker Gift Orban, on loan at Hellas Verona from Hoffenheim, received a straight red card from referee Luca Pairetto for protesting a non-call during their 2-1 loss to Parma.

The incident followed Juventus' Pierre Kalulu's controversial second yellow for a dive the day before, with Serie A referee chief Gianluca Rocchi apologizing for that error but silent so far on Orban's case amid fan debates over inconsistency.

Internal Kremlin documents obtained by French services show Moscow's presidential administration approved operations to depict France as both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic, exploiting immigration debates and the Israel-Hamas war. Serbian nationals carried out the vandalism under remote direction from alleged Russian agent Aleksandar Savic, who remains at large after arrests in France and Serbia. The incidents fit a pattern of suspected Russian hybrid tactics, amid France's real challenges with rising hate crimes since October 2023. Neither French authorities nor Russia have publicly confirmed the findings.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

In May and September 2025, green paint splattered synagogues and pigs' heads marked 'MACRON' appeared at mosques near Paris. French intelligence now links these acts to a Russian scheme aimed at fracturing the nation's unity.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán days before Hungary's April 12 parliamentary elections, warning voters against backing a Trump ally. Orbán, who has led since 2010, recently hosted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who praised strong bilateral ties and Trump's support. Critics dismissed Clinton's comment by noting Orbán's long career predates Trump, while polls show challenger Péter Magyar's Tisza party now leading in a tight race marked by debates over EU policies, migration, and national sovereignty.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

In a video clip shared online, Hillary Clinton urged Hungarians to pick leaders for their own country, not someone she labeled a 'puppet of Trump.' The remark lands as Orbán's party braces for its closest election fight yet.
