Vladimir Putin’s fiery speech in Sarov has sent shockwaves through Washington and the West. While calling Trump a “light at the end of the tunnel,” Putin slammed US elites and showcased Russia’s nuclear edge in the Arctic. Trump, jittery at the Alaska Summit, appeared uncertain on Ukraine, even as Zelensky pushed back hard. With Russia flaunting its unmatched nuclear icebreaker fleet and quantum leaps in military technology, are we watching the dawn of a new Cold War — or World War 3?

The war in West Asia has entered a chilling new phase. Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, senior leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, declared that Israel will “pay the price” for its aggression, following the martyrdom of Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers in a deadly strike. Speaking to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti emphasized that retaliation is inevitable, stressing, “Our actions will precede our words.” He reaffirmed that the liberation of Palestine remains Yemen’s foremost cause and vowed continued support for Gaza despite the heavy sacrifices. The Ansar Allah Political Bureau also issued a statement mourning fallen Yemeni leaders and warning Tel Aviv of looming consequences. Yemen’s message is clear: its strikes have already punished the US and Britain, and now Israel will face similar retribution. With tensions rising, the region braces for what Ansar Allah promises will be dark days for Israel.

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties.
