🇩🇪🇷🇺⚡️ — NATO will strike Kaliningrad, the Kola Peninsula, St. Petersburg, and the Black Sea area in the event of a conflict with Russia, the commander of the German Air Force has stated.

In an interview with The Telegraph, he claims that Germany is ready to fight against Russia "as early as tonight".

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — The opponent claims that the Russian Armed Forces have learned to jam the communication of Ukrainian drones with Starlink in some sectors of the front.

Allegedly, this is what the as-yet-unknown EW complex capable of doing this looks like.

If a working method of jamming Starlink has indeed been found, the spread of such systems could seriously affect the effectiveness of Ukrainian medium-range strikes, which directly depend on the American satellite internet.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: CIA Director John Ratcliffe has told President Trump and senior officials that US intelligence raises serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the nuclear concessions Washington is seeking in any final deal, three sources tell Axios.

➡️ Ratcliffe is not alone — Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth have also raised concerns internally, while VP Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner are advocating for the deal.

➡️ Intelligence shows Iranian officials are discussing the deal among themselves in ways inconsistent with what they are telling mediators and the US — “Iranian intentions are not in line with their commitments,” one source says.

➡️ Internal skeptics contend Iran is unlikely to sign a nuclear deal on US terms and will benefit more than the US from the MOU in the interim.

➡️ A senior US official says Washington will know within two to three weeks whether Iran is serious about nuclear concessions — if not, the process could stop before Iran gains much.

➡️ The MOU’s nuclear elements are conditional on a more detailed follow-on deal to be negotiated over 60 days; Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner are expected to meet Iranian officials Friday alongside Qatari and Pakistani mediators.

➡️ Senator Lindsey Graham tells Axios he is “somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming,” calling for the document’s immediate public release.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Trump says the Strait of Hormuz has reopened following the US-Iran agreement — but across the shipping industry, confidence remains scarce, CNN reports.

Threats including mines, drones, and missile attacks continue to deter movement, while crew exhaustion after months of uncertainty adds further operational risk.

Kpler ship-tracking data shows no meaningful movement among the 220 tankers and nearly 500 vessels currently anchored in the Persian Gulf.

Caravel Group CEO Angad Banga says his vessels are ready to move but holding position: “We are maintaining enhanced manning and citadel readiness until we have 30 days of incident-free transits. Not three days. Thirty.”

“After so many false starts, the shipping industry is going to be cautious” — Tim Huxley, chairman of Mandarin Shipping, adding that trade flows and damaged Middle East infrastructure will take considerable time to recover.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
