Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iran’s expanding missile capabilities.

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.

Four major Arab nations — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan — have strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

Following the Arab League Summit in Baghdad, Hamas fiercely criticized Arab leaders for failing to take meaningful action as Israel’s assault on Gaza intensified. The group demanded enforcement of Riyadh resolutions, lifting of the blockade, and sanctions on Israel. Citing massacres in northern Gaza that coincided with the summit, Hamas stressed the need for urgent global solidarity. Other resistance factions echoed similar sentiments, condemning Arab regimes for hollow statements and complicity in genocide. The factions emphasized that real intervention, not symbolism, is urgently needed to halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Iran has fiercely rebuked former U.S. President Donald Trump after he labeled Iran the “most destructive force” in the Middle East during a speech in Riyadh. Iranian officials, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, slammed Trump’s remarks as hypocritical and deceptive—accusing the U.S. of enabling Israeli aggression in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon while unjustly targeting Iran. Tehran defended its regional role, framing itself as part of the "Resistance Axis" against oppression, and blamed decades of U.S. sanctions and military pressure for Iran’s economic struggles.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in Moscow just hours after being sacked by President Vladimir Putin. Authorities say the 51-year-old died of a gunshot wound in his car, with suicide suspected. Starovoit’s abrupt dismissal follows mounting pressure over corruption probes and border failures in Kursk during his earlier governorship. Kremlin critics question whether political purging played a role. His death adds to the growing list of mysterious ends among Putin’s inner circle.

Panic and paralysis gripped St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport as a massive drone threat grounded flights and triggered Russia’s largest aviation disruption this year. Over 7,000 passengers were stranded after Moscow shut down the skies over northern Russia in response to what officials described as a coordinated Ukrainian drone assault.
The result: more than 100 delayed flights, 30 canceled, and a bizarre traffic jam of planes unable to take off or land. Social media was flooded with footage showing anxious travelers, packed terminals, and idle aircraft lining the tarmac. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether any drones were intercepted or hit specific targets, but the lockdown has added pressure on Russia’s internal defense systems. The incident raises serious questions about the vulnerability of key infrastructure even far from the front lines, and could mark a turning point in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy deep into Russian airspace.

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.
