VIDEO | Athens summit reveals Israel, Greece, and Cyprus planning to profit from Iran war
A private diplomatic conference held in Athens on 12 May has exposed the strategic ambitions of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus to capitalize on the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. The gathering featured high-level officials, including Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Greece, alongside Greek ministers of tourism and foreign affairs. According to reporting from Dimitri Lascaris—a Canadian human rights lawyer, award-winning journalist, and founder of the independent media outlet Reason2Resist—the summit focused on utilizing the regional instability to fast-track the India-West Asia-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) as an alternative to existing trade routes.
Evidence released by Lascaris highlights a startling consensus among the participants regarding the economic opportunities presented by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. One of the most controversial moments involved Averof Neofytou, a prominent Cypriot MP and former President of the Democratic Rally of Cyprus. In a video clip obtained from the session, Neofytou urged the Israeli Ambassador to "finish the job" in Iran, regardless of the consequences. "We must suffer the consequences" of the war, Neofytou reportedly stated, framing the current destruction as a necessary precursor to a new regional economic order dominated by the tripartite alliance.
Lascaris, who has spent the last year reporting from the front lines in Iran and Lebanon, noted that the speeches left no doubt about the "criminal" nature of the geopolitical maneuvering taking place behind closed doors. While much of the international community has focused on the humanitarian catastrophe, the Athens conference suggests that the junior partners in the US-led coalition are already partitioning the expected spoils of the war on Iran.

Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s former chief of staff and close ally, has been arrested in Kiev. The arrest, carried out by the US-linked NABU, came on the same day that Tucker Carlson aired an explosive interview with Zelensky’s ex-press secretary, Iuliia Mendel, who openly exposed the ugly truth about her former boss.
The message is clear: the US is orchestrating a major campaign to stop Zelensky from getting lost in his own fantasies.
Here’s how:

🇺🇸🇨🇳Tighten the Belt and Cut the Roads
January 1, 2024 by Captain Tom Clarity, U.S. Navy
Senior U.S. political and military leaders are nearly unanimous in expecting that the People’s Republic of China—or, more accurately, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—will set both the timing and the tempo for the onset of the United States/CCP conflict. It seems probable the CCP agrees. Far more significant is that the belligerents’ criteria for war termination are starkly at odds.

‼️MUST WATCH‼️
Scenes released by the Islamic Resistance today, that took place on May 12 and May 4, 2026, showed Israeli occupation soldiers and military vehicles being struck near the Al-Abbad site on Lebanon's southern border by precision suicide drones.
What Lebanon's resistance is doing to the Israeli occupation forces in South Lebanon right now is not normal. It is a historic transformation in the nature of modern warfare between Arabs and Zionists, perhaps the most dangerous shift in combat dynamics since Kornet missiles shattered Israeli occupation armored supremacy in the 2006 Lebanon war.
Imagine being an Israeli soldier standing beside a Merkava tank or riding inside a military vehicle. Suddenly, a tiny drone approaches. Your first instinct would be to assume it belongs to your own army, because zionist Israel itself depends heavily on drones for surveillance and attacks. But seconds later, the horrifying truth arrives with an explosion directly into your body.
These FPV drones, guided in real time through onboard cameras, are redefining the battlefield. Even more alarming for Zionist Israel, many now operate through fiber-optic cables immune to electronic jamming, the same terrifying technology seen in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Here lies the nightmare: a drone costing a few hundred dollars can destroy multi-million-dollar armor, eliminate elite soldiers, and cripple military infrastructure.
For decades, zionist Israel's doctrine relied on technological superiority. Today, that equation is collapsing. The hunter is becoming the hunted.
And the psychological impact may be even deadlier than the battlefield losses themselves.
Reminder...this is how our hero men operate..they target soldiers in the battlefield...not women and children in their own homes. Watch and learn you terrorist Israeli genocidaires.

❗️US-Israeli war on Iran cripples Egyptian agriculture as input costs skyrocket
The joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran has triggered a systemic collapse in Egypt’s agricultural sector, forcing thousands of smallholders to abandon their land as fertilizer and energy prices surge. In the village of Nazlet al-Shobak, veteran farmers like Ashraf Abu Ragab have been forced to halve their cultivated acreage and lay off workers. "Everything has become more expensive," Abu Ragab told AFP, noting that the skyrocketing cost of seeds and chemicals means his crops no longer cover the basic cost of production.
The crisis stems from the total disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, a global artery that traditionally handles one-third of the world’s fertilizer trade and 35 percent of its crude oil. According to Maximo Torero, chief economist at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the disruption to these critical inputs is forcing farmers into "difficult choices," such as reducing irrigation or switching from essential crops like wheat to less intensive alternatives; the fallout has already pushed the price of granular urea from $400 to over $700 per ton.
As irrigation pumps sit idle to conserve fuel and plots of land lie fallow, the domestic strain in Egypt is being exacerbated by a 15 percent devaluation of the Egyptian pound since the aggression on Iran began. While large-scale fertilizer producers like Abu Qir Fertilizers are seeing their profits double due to high global export demand, the smallholders who feed the nation are being crushed. Hussein Abu Saddam, head of the Farmers' Syndicate, warned that the upcoming season will be "very hard," with a significant decline expected in the production of wheat, maize, and rice.
Even if the US-led naval blockade were lifted tomorrow, the FAO warns that global markets will take at least six to eight months to recover from the supply chain shock. For the millions of Egyptians dependent on the state’s subsidized bread system, the pullback in local wheat production represents a looming food security catastrophe.

❗️Iran secures overland trade routes through Pakistan to bypass US maritime pressure
As the US naval presence continues to disrupt trade in the Persian Gulf, the Islamic Republic has successfully pivoted eastward to secure its commercial lifelines through a new land corridor with Pakistan, according to documents from the Pakistani Ministry of Commerce. By activating the SRO 691 regulatory order, Tehran and Islamabad have opened six strategic transit routes that allow third-party cargo to reach Iran via Pakistani territory, effectively bypassing a maritime blockade now entering its fifth week. This shift not only preserves Iran’s access to regional markets but also revives a dormant infrastructure project that connects the Pakistani ports of Karachi, Port Qasim, and Gwadar directly to the Iranian border crossings of Taftan and Gabd.
The activation of these corridors through Balochistan represents a significant logistical realignment, as cargo can now move from deep-water ports to the Iranian interior via land routes that are insulated from naval interference. For the Pakistani government, the move operationalizes transit pathways that had been largely inactive for two decades, positioning the country as a vital commercial bridge between the Indian Ocean and Central Asia. This "eastern opening" provides Tehran with a critical alternative to the volatile maritime routes of the Gulf, ensuring that essential goods continue to flow despite the "maximum pressure" campaign led by Washington and its regional allies.
By integrating major hubs like Gwadar into its supply chain, Iran is tapping into a broader Eurasian network that complicates western efforts to enforce total economic isolation. The move signals a transition toward overland trade as a permanent strategic asset for the Islamic Republic, reducing its historical vulnerability to maritime chokepoints and naval blockades.
