The ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding for now. But as this conflict has played out, along with other ongoing wars around the world, it got us thinking: What does war even look like in 2025? In Ukraine, it looks like drone and missile attacks side-by-side with everyday life.

The Nato summit in The Hague did get member states to agree on ramping up their defence spending - and seemed to placate Donald Trump. But has this week changed anything for Ukraine? What happened to the prior US “two-week deadline” to agree a ceasefire - and will those sought-after Patriot missiles ever arrive in Kyiv? Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko answer all that, and discuss the knotty details of prosecuting alleged war crimes with BBC Verify's Olga Robinson and the Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse. The producers were Laurie Kalus, Rufus Gray, and Polly Hope. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The series producer is Tim Walklate.

Israel kills over 100 Palestinians in Gaza "Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in last 24 hours, including many aid seekers, and wounded hundreds others in besieged Gaza. Meanwhile,the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face a severe water crisis threatening them with death from thirst, as Israeli strikes and fuel restrictions have crippled the enclave's water infrastructure. " Trump open to Iran nuclear talks " President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold talks with Iran over its nuclear programme next week, following a 12-day conflict with Israel that drew in the US and left hundreds dead and wounded. Trump claimed recent US air strikes had led to the ""total obliteration"" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, setting the programme back ""decades"". He added that the ceasefire he announced earlier in the week was ""going very well."" However, a leaked US intelligence assessment seen by American media suggested the strikes may have delayed Iran's nuclear efforts by only a few months." Israeli military, illegal Zionist settlers kill four Palestinians in occupied West Bank "Israeli military and illegal Zionist settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Three Palestinians were killed in Kafr Malik, a village northeast of Ramallah, where dozens of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the area, set vehicles on fire and attacked residents. At least seven others were wounded, including one person in critical condition." Kenya protests turn deadly "Sixteen protesters were killed and at least 400 wounded, with 83 in serious condition, following protests across Kenya. A rights group said most were killed by police. Protests raged across at least 23 counties and coincided with the first anniversary of demonstrations opposing tax hikes that left 60 people dead and 20 others missing." Zelenskyy seeks to buy US air defence systems "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he had discussed buying US air-defence systems with President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of NATO's summit in The Hague. He added that Kiev was ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers and the two leaders have also discussed a potential joint drone production. "

Artist Fred Grandy grew up in Oregon with five sisters and one brother. The family also lived in Washington for a time. As an adult, Grandy moved around the country, with stints in California, Louisiana, Kentucky and Virginia. But his last days were spent in Ukraine, volunteering with a group that helped to clear up debris after Russian bombings. His sister, Bend resident Sietska Reed, says he had taken off on an open-ended trip to Western Europe but found himself drawn to Poland and then Ukraine. Reed said her brother felt he was where he needed to be to help Ukrainians in a small but tangible way. Grandy was angry, she said, about President Donald Trump’s embrace of Russia, which invaded Ukraine, and also wanted to represent the many Americans who are horrified by Trump’s actions and demonstrate support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. She says the family was notified last week by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine that her brother was among those killed in one of the heaviest Russian attacks on Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Reed joins us, along with her son Kennith Reed and her brother Jim Grandy to remember Fred and tell his story as they think he would want it told.  

An intimate, affecting account of life during wartime, told through the lives that have been shattered. Even as scores of Americans rally to the Ukrainian cause and adopt Volodymyr Zelensky as a hero, the lives of Ukrainians remain opaque and mostly anonymous. In By the Second Spring, the historian Danielle Leavitt goes beyond familiar portraits of wartime heroism and victimhood to reveal the human experience of the conflict. An American who grew up in Ukraine, Leavitt draws on her deep familiarity with the country and a unique trove of online diaries to track a diverse group of Ukrainians through the first year of Russia's full-scale invasion. Among others, we meet Vitaly, whose plans to open a coffee bar in a Kyiv suburb come to naught when the Russian army marches through his town and his apartment building is split in two by a rocket; Anna, who drops out of the police academy and begins a tumultuous relationship with a soldier she meets online; and Polina, a fashion-industry insider who returns home from Los Angeles with her American husband to organize relief. To illuminate the complex resurgence of Ukraine's national spirit, Leavitt also tells the story of Volodymyr Shovkoshitniy—a nuclear engineer at Chernobyl who went on to lead a daring campaign in the late 1980s to return the bodies of three Ukrainian writers who'd died in a Soviet gulag. Writing with closeness and compassion, Leavitt has given us an interior history of Europe's largest land war in seventy-five years. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Tuesday, June 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Syrian suicide bomber A suicide bomber entered an Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria on Sunday killing 22 people and wounding at least 63 others, reports ABC News. The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility. No increased nuclear radiation levels after U.S. bombing in Iran The International Atomic Energy Agency reports no increase in off-site radiation levels at the three Iranian sites bombed by the United States and Israel. The neighboring Kuwait government has also confirmed that “no abnormal radiation levels have been detected in any of the member states.” The whereabouts of 400 kilograms of highly enriched Uranium in Iran is still a mystery. Israel bombed Iran's Evin Prison Israel continues its bombardment on Iran, including a bombing of the notorious Evin prison, where a number of Christians are held, and have been tortured over the last several decades. Trump: Israel & Iran agreed to cease-fire to end “12-Day War” On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire, declaring an end to what he referred to as “The 12 Day War,” reports The Epoch Times. In a Truth Social Post, Trump wrote,  “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED!” Both sides will wind down their final military operations within 12 hours, beginning what Trump expects to be “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” on both sides. The conflict will be declared over within 24 hours. However, The New York Times indicated that there is no confirmation yet from Israel and Iran. Russia bombed Ukraine with 16 missiles and 352 drones The Russian army unleashed a heavy bombardment on Kiev, Ukraine yesterday involving 352 drones and 16 missiles, reports Reuters. At least 10 Ukrainians died in the attack. This follows another attack last week which killed 28 people.  Zelensky assassination plot foiled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish elderly man who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, reports Newsweek. The man was activated to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle. The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology. The assassination plot was foiled by a joint effort of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency, and the Polish internal security service known as ABW. Americans less isolationist Americans are moving away from isolationism according to a recent survey by the Ronald Reagan Institute. In the last three years, Americans who believe the United States should be more engaged in international events has seen a 24% increase. Specifically, 69% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 73% of MAGA/Trump Republicans want to see more engagement internationally. A supermajority of Americans – 84% -- state their support for preventing the Islamic Republic from gaining access to nuclear weapons. Only 57% of Americans would agree with the statement that “the United States is better served by withdrawing from international events and focusing on problems here at home.” The major shift in American opinions on this has occurred since the November election.  Russia economy expanded by 4.3% last year Despite international pressures, the Russian economy expanded by 4.3% last year. This compares to a 1.1% bump for the United Kingdom, and a 2.8% bump for the U.S. economy last year. Supreme Court temporarily allows deportations to third countries In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the Supreme Court temporarily lifted a lower court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrants to so-called third countries to which they have no connection, reports The Epoch Times. The unsigned order came in the case known as Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D. Michigan church shooting prevented   A heavily-armed man attempted a massacre at the Wayne, Michigan Crosspointe Community Church, reports CBS News. Thankfully, he didn't make it into the building. A parishioner rammed him with his truck, and the security team engaged him in the parking lot.  The suspect was pronounced dead when police arrived on the scene. One security guard took a shot in the leg. Based on national news sources, there are 1-2 church shootings per year in this country. That's 1 out of 380,000 churches.  Psalm 27:1-2 is always the right mindset. It says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.” Ohio pro-life legislators want to protect babies from conception Several Ohio legislators are floating a bill that outlaws the willful murder of a child from the point of conception. The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” introduced by state Representatives Levi Dean and Johnathan Newman, would overturn the 2023 referendum amendment that legalized abortion in Ohio.  In Psalm 22, the psalmist confesses, “You … took me out of the womb; You made me trust while on my mother's breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. from my mother's womb You have been my God.”  Older Americans more likely to have Biblical worldview George Barna's 2025 American Worldview Inventory report has been released and he concludes that only 1% of adults under 30 have a Biblical worldview. That compares with 5% for adults over 50, and 8% for adults over 65. Also, 69% of young Gen Z Americans believe abortion is morally acceptable. That's up from 60% for the Gen X and Boomer generations. Then, 73% of Gen Zers agree that sex outside of marriage is okay.  That's up from 59% with the Boomer Generation.  Fifth Circuit deems Louisiana Ten Commandments law unconstitutional The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Louisiana's law requiring the posting of The Ten Commandments in public schools, reports Courthouse News Service. The Louisiana law required schools which receive public funding to post a framed copy of The 10 Commandments in the classrooms. Observatory identified and photographed 10 million galaxies The Rubin Observatory, located in South America's Andes Mountain, has completed its first 10 hours of operation and identified 2,104 new asteroids never seen before, and photographed 10 million galaxies, reports the BBC. The observatory features a 28-foot telescope and an ultra-wide, ultra-high definition camera.  Sperm donor passed cancer gene to 67 children In other science news, a sperm donor in Europe has passed a cancer gene on to 67 children. Already, at least ten of the children have signs of cancer, all of them born between 2008 and 2015. The case was discussed at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. Dr. Edwige Kasper, a specialist in genetic predisposition to cancer at the Rouen University Hospital in Rouen, France, said, “The variant would have been practically undetectable in 2008 when the individual started to donate sperm.” U.S. housing prices spike Housing prices in the U.S. are still reaching record highs. The median price of homes sold last month was $423,000, up 1.3% from May of 2024. 7 Worldview listeners gave $2,828.30  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our final $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 7 listeners stepped up to the plate.

That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise a whopping $58,098.45 in just 7 days.  Oh my!  I've got butterflies in my stomach. Is there 1 businessperson who could donate $10,000?  3 businesspeople who could give $5,000?  5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then we would need another 8 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.  And another 16 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.  If you want to make it a monthly pledge, click on the recurring tab.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:35] China's Relationship with Ukraine Prior to Russia's Invasion[05:06] President Zelenskyy's Accusations Against China [08:20] Contemporary Ukrainian Perceptions of Relations with China [12:14] Ukrainian Perceptions of Sino-Russian Relations[16:25] China as a Mediator and Peacemaker[19:06] China's Interests in the Outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War[21:21] What concrete steps could China take to facilitate peace? [23:14] China's Role in the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine[28:08] The Future of Sino-Ukrainian Relations

Durante las últimas semanas, Moscú ha enviado grandes oleadas de misiles, drones, misiles y señuelos diseñados para superar las defensas aéreas ucranianas.

Kiev sopravviverà a Donald Trump? Qual è il futuro di Zelensky? Perché la storia è così centrale nel conflitto in Ucraina? In questa puntata speciale abbiamo in studio con noi lo storico dell'Università Cattolica di Leopoli Yaroslav Hritsak e Svetlana Tereshchenko, fondatrice e presidente dell’Associazione Boristene.

The European Union is working more closely with Turkey on defence, aiming to build military independence as fears grow over Russia and doubts linger about continued US support. Earlier this month, EU and Turkish officials met under the bloc's Common Security and Defence Policy for the first time in three years. The talks are part of a push to develop a more independent European defence system, amid concerns that a second Donald Trump presidency might weaken NATO's guarantee to protect Europe. Many see Turkey as well-placed to help meet the EU's defence goals. “We have huge potential for cooperation with Turkey,” said Federico Donelli, an international relations expert at Trieste University. He pointed out that Turkey has the second-largest army in NATO, and that “many European defence systems are in some way compatible with Turkish military hardware because the majority of EU members are NATO members”. Donelli said Turkey's fast-growing defence sector could help the EU's efforts to rearm. “Turkey is one of the emerging players in the security market. One of Turkey's key assets is producing efficiently at a lower cost compared with American or Israeli companies.” Ankara's expanding military Turkey was recently admitted to the EU's €150 billion Safety Assistance for Europe arms procurement programme. While Turkey is not yet one of the top 10 global weapons producers, it has made major advances in certain areas. It is one of the world's biggest producers of military drones and has developed a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet. Last year, Turkish company Repkon built a munitions factory in the United States using technology designed to speed up production. And this month, Turkey's drone maker Baykar signed a deal with Italy's Leonardo to develop drones together. The deal is expected to help Baykar meet EU rules that require 65 percent of the value of any arms contract to go to an EU firm. Sinan Ciddi, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, said Turkey brings valuable assets to the table. “Turkey has a vast ability not only to procure and manufacture but also to supply these, that's readily available. So, on the physical side, it's great,” said Ciddi. Concerns over Turkish politics But Turkey's position on the war in Ukraine has raised eyebrows. Ankara has kept ties with both Kyiv and Moscow, and Ciddi said this creates a dilemma for the EU. “On the political side, it puts the EU in a rather precarious position of having to rely on a country like Turkey simply because, you know, Turkey has been playing both sides of this conflict, so it's a double-edged sword,” he said. Greece and Cyprus are also worried about closer defence ties between the EU and Turkey. Both have territorial disputes with Ankara. While relations between Athens and Ankara have improved, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis insists that any defence deal with Turkey must include a clear promise to drop threats of war. Turkey has said for 30 years it might use force if Greece extends its territorial waters in the Aegean Sea. Athens says it has a legal right to do so under a UN maritime convention. Turkey has rejected the demand, saying the issue should be resolved through talks. Mitsotakis is due to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the sidelines of this month's NATO summit. Greek, Cypriot objections sidelined Greece and Cyprus still have veto powers in the EU and have used them against Turkey in the past. But Federico Donelli said Russia's actions have changed the mood in Europe. “Nowadays, I think the priority of European countries – and the European Union as a whole – is more important than any concerns from Cyprus and Greece,” said Donelli. “I don't think they will be able to halt this process,” he added. “Honestly, the priority for European countries is security: to increase production and to cooperate with all actors who can help in the defence sector.” In a move widely seen as a way to get around Greek and Cypriot opposition, the EU has now made decisions on arms procurement subject to majority voting. Even so, Greece and Cyprus could still slow things down diplomatically. But with France and Germany pushing hard to boost Europe's defences, deeper ties with Turkey are likely to move ahead.

Some might argue that the concept of evil is outdated in our relativistic age. And yet—how can we speak of war crimes, cruelty, or the neglect of human dignity without invoking the word evil? Perhaps it's time to take it seriously again, to revisit the thinkers who have grappled with its meaning. One of them, of course, is Hannah Arendt. This is a conversation about Hannah Arendt and the concept of evil, which took place in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on June 1st, at the Kyiv Book Arsenal—one of the country's major literary events. Despite the ongoing war, the fair was full of people. My guest was Marci Shore, an American intellectual, historian, and university professor. She specializes in 20th-century European intellectual history, with a particular focus on Hannah Arendt. This year, Marci co-curated the Kyiv Book Arsenal's focus topic, alongside Oksana Forostyna. My name is Volodymyr Yermolenko. I'm a Ukrainian philosopher, the editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

"Israel openly threatens to eliminate Iran's Khamenei " "Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has threatened to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Calling the Iranian leader “the modern Hitler,” the Israeli minister said: ""A dictator like Khamenei, who leads Iran and has made the destruction of Israel his banner, cannot continue to exist.” The threat comes hours after some 20-30 Iranian missiles targeted Israel's central cities, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Holon, as well as Soroka Hospital in the southern city of Beersheba." "Trump to decide if US joins assault on Iran ‘within two weeks' " "US President Donald Trump has said he will decide whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks due to a ""substantial"" chance of negotiations, as Tel Aviv and Tehran traded fire for a seventh day. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said hat Trump was interested in pursuing a diplomatic solution with Iran, but his top priority was ensuring that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon. She said any deal would have to prohibit enrichment of uranium by Tehran and eliminate Iran's ability to achieve a nuclear weapon, adding that ""correspondence has continued"" between the United States and Iran." "UN adds Israel to blacklist of worst violators of children's rights " "The UN once again included the Israeli troops among ""parties that commit grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict,"" according to a report. The report said: ""In 2024, violence against children in armed conflict reached unprecedented levels, with a staggering 25 percent surge in the number of grave violations in comparison with 2023."" It added that the UN verified 41,370 grave violations against children, with 36,221 committed in 2024 — a nearly 50% rise in deadly incidents compared to the previous year." "Kiev worries Iran-Israel tensions may divert US attention " "Fighting between Iran and Israel could deflect global attention from the Russian incursion into Ukraine and even bolster Kremlin's war effort, Ukrainian officials have said. ""For Ukraine, the challenge is the price of oil, because if prices remain high for a long time, the Russians will earn more,"" a senior Ukrainian political source said. Kiev is concerned that waning attention and support from Washington could lead to a muted US response to further Russian advances or deadly aerial attacks. Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy said that the war between Iran and Israel carried risks for Kiev, adding that they would like to see the aid to Ukraine would not be reduced because of Israel-Iran conflict. " "Türkiye will never forget Azerbaijan's solidarity after earthquakes: Erdogan " "Türkiye will never forget the solidarity of the Azerbaijani people after the earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye in February 2023, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Speaking at the key delivery ceremony of post-quake houses in Türkiye's Kahramanmaras province alongside his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, he said that Azerbaijan was one of the first countries that came to his country's aid after the quakes. He recalled Türkiye's support for Azerbaijan on the issue of Karabakh from the first days of the 44-day conflict with Armenia in fall 2020, expressing Turkish solidarity “gave us additional strength.”"

This week on Battleground, Saul David and Patrick Bishop unpack a seismic shift in global conflict. As Israel's astonishing assault on Iran's military leadership and nuclear capabilities sends shockwaves through the Middle East, we explore its profound, and potentially beneficial, implications for the war in Ukraine, especially regarding Russia's crucial military ally and its struggling hardware. Meanwhile, the spotlight turns to President Trump's controversial stance: his willingness to engage in the Iran conflict on Israel's side stands in stark contrast to his perceived pro-Russian position on Ukraine. We dissect his G7 remarks, the international pushback, and the chilling silence from the White House following a devastating attack on Kyiv. Plus, as Russia's allies dwindle, Sergei Shoigu makes a desperate plea to North Korea. Join us for a critical discussion on how these dramatic global events are reshaping the future of the war in Ukraine and the balance of power. We want YOUR input on what we should cover next!

C dans l'air du 18 juin 2025 - L'Iran est-il vraiment proche d'obtenir la bombe nucléaire ?Voilà cinq jours que l'Iran est sous les bombes israéliennes et les signes d'escalade se multiplient. Le président américain Donald Trump est allé jusqu'à appeler, hier, à la "capitulation sans conditions" de la République islamique. Il a même assuré que les États-Unis pouvaient aisément tuer le guide suprême iranien Ali Khamenei. Ce dernier a proclamé que son pays "ne se rendra jamais" et mis en garde les Etats-Unis contre des "dommages irréparables" en cas d'intervention dans le conflit.Pour l'heure, les frappes israéliennes ont déjà fait plus de 200 morts et plus de 1200 blessés. Le monde reste suspendu aux paroles de Donald Trump. Hier, en rentrant en avion du G7, le président américain a démenti les informations de sa cheffe du renseignement, Tulsi Gabbard qui estimait en mars devant le Congrès que l'Iran ne possédait pas la bombe nucléaire : "Je me fiche de ce qu'elle a dit", a rétorqué le président à une journaliste qui l'interrogeait. Si L'Iran ne dispose pour l'instant que d'uranium enrichi à 60%, là où le seuil requis s'élève à 90% pour obtenir l'arme nucléaire, la France, l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni ont estimé jeudi dernier que l'Iran pourrait avoir la capacité de produire "plus de neuf" bombes nucléaires. Mais avec l'opacité entretenue par le régime iranien, impossible de savoir si ces projections sont vraiment crédibles.Acculé, affaibli, le régime iranien continue de menacer, à commencer par fermer le détroit d'Ormuz, par lequel transitent 20% du pétrole mondial et 30% du Gaz naturel liquéfié. Sardar Esmail Kowsari, commandant des Gardiens de la Révolution, a déclaré que cette option était "à l'étude". Son application plongerait le monde dans une grave crise économique. En fin de semaine dernière, lorsque les premières bombes israéliennes sont tombées sur l'Iran, les cours du pétrole ont flambé, avant de se stabiliser. Large d'environ 50 kilomètres, le détroit s'étend d'Oman à l'Iran. L'Iran, lui-même producteur important de pétrole, serait évidemment impacté par la fermeture de ce passage stratégique. Selon Le Figaro, 95% des barils iraniens sont exportés vers la Chine, et transitent par ce passage maritime.Pendant ce temps, à l'autre bout de l'Europe, Volodymyr Zelensky s'inquiète. Le président ukrainien craint que l'attention focalisée sur le Moyen-Orient n'affecte encore plus le soutien militaire à l'Ukraine. Samedi dernier, il a appelé à ce que "l'aide à l'Ukraine ne diminue pas pour cette raison", comme ce fut le cas lors de la précédente altercation entre Israël et l'Iran en octobre 2024. Présent au G7 en début de semaine, il n'a pu que constater le manque d'intérêt de l'administration américaine pour sa cause, et a quitté le rassemblement mardi au lendemain du départ précipité de Donald Trump. "La diplomatie est désormais en état de crise", a-t-il lâché. D'autant que la Russie semble profiter de la guerre au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions. Dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, elle a lancé une vaste attaque de drones sur Kiev, faisant 24 morts et plus de 130 blessés. Le président ukrainien, a déclaré qu'il s'agissait de "l'une des attaques les plus horribles sur Kiev" et a appelé à un soutien international plus fort pour aider l'Ukraine à se défendre. Cette nuit, un nouvel essaim de 58 drones a frappé les oblasts de Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk et Zaporijia.Où en est le programme nucléaire iranien ?Quelles conséquences aurait une fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz sur l'économie mondiale ?Et comment la Russie profite-t-elle du chaos au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions ?LES EXPERTS :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major, ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Patricia ALLÉMONIÉRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- David RIGOULET-ROZE - Chercheur associé à l'IRIS, rédacteur en chef de la revue "Orients stratégiques", auteur de "La République islamique d'Iran en crise systémique"- Marc-Antoine EYL-MAZZEGA – En duplex - Directeur du centre énergie et climat de l'Ifri

Il presidente statunitense Donald Trump ha annunciato un possibile intervento statunitense in Iran. Nel frattempo, i leader del G7 ribadiscono l’importanza per la regione di avere un Iran senza nucleare. Ne parliamo con Mario Del Pero, docente di Storia internazionale a Sciences Po, e con Erwin Van Veen, ricercatore sui conflitti presso il Clingendael Institute e responsabile del programma per il Medio Oriente. Mentre gli occhi di tutti sono concentrati sul Medio Oriente, Mosca continua ad attaccare Kiev. Ne parliamo con Eleonora Tafuro Ambrosetti di ISPI, analista dell'ISPI per l'area Russia, Caucaso e Asia Centrale.

Donald Trump pidió la “rendición incondicional” del régimen iraní, ante la guerra que disputa con Israel. Las señales apuntan a que un posible involucramiento de Estados Unidos en esta guerra podría estar cerca. The New York Times reportó que Irán ya preparaba misiles y equipo militar para atacar bases estadounidenses en Medio Oriente, si es que el país decidía unirse a Israel en este enfrentamiento. La cumbre del G7 llegó a su fin. Pero, tras dos días de negociaciones, los líderes de las siete democracias más desarrolladas del planeta, así como los países invitados, se quedaron cortos frente a las expectativas. Además… Claudia Sheinbaum y Donald Trump tuvieron una de sus clásicas llamaditas, tras no poderse ver en el marco de la cumbre del G7; La tormenta tropical Erick pintaba a que se convertiría en huracán categoría dos; La presidenta municipal de Tepalcatepec, en Michoacán, Martha Laura Mendoza, fue asesinada afuera de su casa; Rusia lanzó el ataque más mortífero en Kyiv en casi un año, dejando a 14 personas muertas; Por tercera vez, Trump extendió el plazo para que ByteDance venda TikTok en Estados Unidos; Según la lista anual de Economist Intelligence Unit Copenhague es la ciudad más habitable del mundo.

Israeli PM Netanyahu thanked Donald Trump for the US's continuous support in the country's escalating conflict with Iran. Overwhelmed Louvre workers strike to protest overtourism. The suspect in the shooting of 2 Minnesota lawmakers had a 'hit list' of 45 officials. The government and emminent domain. Zelensky accuses Putin of ‘pure terrorism' after 14 killed in massive attack on Kyiv.

President Donald Trump has said that he wants a genuine end to Iran's nuclear program, dismissing French President Emmanuel Macron's claim that the United States had made an offer to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Iran. Trump later posted on Truth Social that his early departure from the G7 summit in Canada had nothing to do with a cease-fire in the Israel–Iran conflict. In a subsequent post, Trump said that he had not contacted the Iranian government to engage in any form of peace talks.Russia flattened a section of an apartment block in Kyiv in its deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year, part of a huge barrage of hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 16 people and wounded 124 others. Ukrainian officials declared a day of mourning on Wednesday for the victims of what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as one of the most horrific attacks on the capital since the start of the war.The man charged with killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another had dozens of apparent targets, including officials in at least three other states. Suspect Vance Boelter allegedly made it to the homes of two other legislators on the night of the attacks. However, one was on vacation while the suspect left the other house after police arrived, acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said on Monday.

Edition No161 | 17-06-2025 - Trump has fled the G7, where it seems like his only significant contribution was to whine about how unfair it was that his fiend Vald has been kicked out of the club. He then repeated a total fantasy story, about how it was Justin Trudeau's fault Russia was kicked out and that Putin would never have gone to war if 1) he had been president and 2) Trudeau and pals had not been so mean to Putin. The reality of course, is that Russia was ejected from the G8 precisely because it started a war in Crimea and then Donbas in 2014, and Justin Trudeau would not become premier of Canada until 2015. The most shocking thing perhaps, was not that Trump would lies and spin fantasies so readily, but that no leader was prepared to confront those falsehoods and blatant lies publicly. Nothing must spoil the photo ops. So, the endless photo opportunities the event created for world leaders, look like it'll amount to little more than that. No decisions were reached. No joint communiques were issued. No press releases agreed upon or published. And Trump departs the day before he was supposed to meet Zelenskyy – an encounter and conversation that likely will not happen. If it was Trump's intention to turn the G7 into a hollow facade, a kind of zombie institution, then there is little more he could have done to achieve this. If we are conspiratorially minded, degrading and eliminating another fixture of international cooperation was top of Putin's wish list. The symbolism of Russia's contempt for international institutions and the Western world could not have been made plainer by the massive attack on Kyiv to coincide with the G7 meeting.----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/trump-to-depart-g7-summit-ahead-of-june-17-meeting-with-zelensky/https://unn.ua/en/news/negotiations-instead-of-weapons-the-us-is-effectively-stopping-military-aid-to-ukrainehttps://kyivindependent.com/kyiv-hit-by-russian-drones-and-ballistic-missiles-over-a-dozen-injured/ ----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.
