Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat.

As Iran prepares to present a nuclear proposal to the U.S., Israeli military plans for a potential unilateral strike are nearly complete. Reports suggest Israel is moving munitions and reviewing final scenarios, while diplomatic efforts falter. A call between Trump and Netanyahu triggered emergency security meetings, highlighting deepening mistrust of Iran’s intentions. Israeli officials fear Tehran won’t abandon enrichment, while the U.S. seeks full denuclearization. With Iran weakened by sanctions and regional proxies losing ground, Israeli urgency grows—though U.S. officials warn that a strike could ignite a broader regional conflict.
