RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: After 18 months of negotiations, Syria and Russia have reached an agreement on the future of the Russian presence at Hmeimim and Tartous.

Military facilities will be restructured into joint Syrian-Russian training centers rather than operating as traditional military bases. The transition is expected to be completed within three months. Source: SANA

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Israel has rejected President Donald Trump’s 15-point Gaza plan, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel will not withdraw from its current positions until Hamas is completely disarmed. Netanyahu has also said Israel did not agree to the latest U.S. backed draft and has submitted its own changes. The development comes amid separate reporting that, during U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper’s recent visit to Israel, Israeli officials indicated that Israel is prepared to resume military operations against Iran unilaterally if it determines that further action is necessary. Earlier reporting has also indicated that Israel and th

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו בפתח ישיבת הממשלה: “בוודאי שמתם לב לנקודה מעניינת – איראן תוקפת את כל המדינות באזור, אפילו מחוץ לאזור, אבל יש מדינה אחת שהיא לא תוקפת – את מדינת ישראל. עד כה היא לא תקפה, יכול להיות שתתקוף, אבל למה עברו שבועות ארוכים והיא לא תוקפת אותנו? משום שהיא יודעת איזה מכה עצימה אנחנו ננחית עליה אם היא תעשה את זה. אני אומר את זה כי לאחרונה, ביומיים האחרונים, אנחנו מוצפים בגל שמועות על חולשה ישראלית ועל נסיגות ישראליות בכל החזיתות. הדבר הכי משעשע הוא שההתקפות הללו באות מאנשים שהטיפו לסגת מכל רצועת עזה, לא להיכנס בכלל ללבנון ולא להכות באיראן. אז אני מבקש לעבור אתכם בקצרה חזית חזית. קודם כל איראן – אני מאוד מעריך את הנשיא טראמפ. הוא גדול ידידינו בבי

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🇪🇬🇹🇷 Egypt is set to join the Middle East’s emerging NATO-style military alliance alongside Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement treats an attack on one member as a potential trigger for military, intelligence, or logistical assistance from the others, with joint exercises and deeper defence-industry cooperation also planned. The news comes shortly after Pakistan’s defence minister called for the pact to grow into a broader alliance of Muslim nations, in part as a means of pressuring Israel in support of Palestine. You can think of the pact as the Middle East building its own security architecture after the way America emb

It looks more like the Declarative Diplomatic Umbrella than a Military Alliance. Mecca Agreement: Diplomatic Umbrella, Not NATO AI Mode: The newly signed Mecca Joint Defense Agreement faces deep institutional, economic, and geopolitical hurdles that make it unlikely to function as a truly integrated, effective “Muslim NATO”. While it introduces a historic NATO Article 5-style collective defense clause between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, it operates primarily as a diplomatic deterrent born out of shared frustration over
