Iraqi PM frustrated with West's 'failures' over Gaza
Thursday, 16 January 2025 As uncertainty sweeps through the Middle East, Iraq's prime minister has been focused on development, travelling to London to negotiate a series of deals on the economy and security.
Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace. Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly. However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access. Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, hostages’ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to “make the deal.” The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms.

In a powerful display of Russian resolve, President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Moscow’s strategic objectives during a one-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump. Despite Trump expressing disappointment over the lack of progress on a peace deal, the Kremlin stood its ground, making clear that Russia’s military and political goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow seeks peace—but only on its own terms.
He added that Russia is paying close attention to Trump’s statements but is prioritizing long-term national interests. The call also covered cooperation in energy and space sectors, as well as Middle East stability. Putin reiterated that Russia would not compromise on neutralizing the threats that triggered the special military operation. The Kremlin described the conversation as “concrete and businesslike,” signaling that Moscow will continue to engage diplomatically, but without sacrificing its core objectives. Russia remains open to talks—but not surrender.

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel.
In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots.
The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday.

The Gaza crisis has reached a horrifying new level. Overnight Israeli airstrikes killed 94 Palestinians, including 45 people waiting for humanitarian aid. Dozens were burned alive in tents in Muwasi, and 15 more were killed when a school sheltering displaced families was hit in Gaza City.
Since October 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 57,000 Palestinians killed — more than half of them women and children. Over 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people are now displaced, with hundreds of thousands facing starvation. The international community remains divided, as Israel has not commented on the latest wave of strikes.
Meanwhile, talks of a potential 60-day ceasefire continue with no resolution in sight. This is not just a war — it’s a humanitarian catastrophe.

Tensions flare in the Middle East after Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile towards Israel, triggering air raid sirens and prompting a sharp U.S. response. In a fiery statement, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee threatened to unleash B-2 Spirit stealth bombers on Yemen, escalating fears of a broader conflict. With Israel intercepting the missile and vowing retaliation, could the region be on the brink of a multi-front war? The B-2, capable of deep-penetration precision strikes, now looms as a symbol of American resolve. This video breaks down the attack, the U.S. warning, and the rising specter of military escalation from Gaza to Sanaa.
