Trump hits back at Medvedev

The US leader has criticized the former Russian president for suggesting some nations may provide Iran with nuclear weapons

US President Donald Trump has cautioned the deputy chairmanof Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedevagainst “casually” talking about nuclear weapons. The comment came after the former Russian president suggested thatseveral unnamed countries were prepared to provide Iran with weapons of mass destruction.

On June 22, the US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan and claimed that its warplanes had severely degraded the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. The attack was preceded by massive air raids against Iran by Israel.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump wrote: “Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the ‘N word’ (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?”

The US head of stateasked for immediate confirmation or rebuttal, insisting that “the ‘N word’ should not be treated so casually.”

Trump went on to boast about America’s superior military capabilities, both air- and sea-borne, citing the weekend bombardment of Iran as proof.

In a series of X posts on Sunday,Medvedev claimed that a “number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”

The Russian officialstopped short of naming those nationsbut suggested theAmerican bombardment had done nothing to stop the “enrichment of nuclear material– and… the future production of nuclear weapons” by Tehran. Medvedev asserted that Iran’s leadership will emerge “even stronger” in light of Washington’s actions.

With the “vast majority of countries around the world [opposing] the actions of Israel and the United States,”President Trump “can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize,” as he “has now pushed the US into another war,” he concluded.

On Monday,Medvedev respondedto Trump, stressing that“Russia has no intention of supplying nuclear weapons to Iran because, unlike Israel, we are parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”

However, the ex-Russian president added that “other countries might – and that’s what was said.”

He urgedWashington to refrain from “arguing over who has more nukes,” emphasizing that the New START arms-control treaty, which was signed by Moscow and Washington on Medvedev’s watch, is still in force.

“The question is: what comes next?”he concluded.

Speaking during a meeting in Moscow on Monday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Russian President VladimirPutin characterized the US attack on Iran as an “unprovoked aggression” in breach of international law, for which “there can be no justification.”

(Great Israel figured out a way to divide Trump and Putin as partners to reduce violence, help with Peace and work together for Economic Goals,or this is all cosplay. Everything is too strange, it’s cosplay.)

Iran launches missiles at US bases in Middle East – media

A barrage of at least ten ballistic missiles has reportedly been fired at airbases in Qatar and Iraq

Tehran has launched retaliatory strikes against US military installations across the Middle East, Iranian state-run media reported on Monday.Operation ‘Herald of Victory’ has so far hit facilities in Qatar and Iraq.

Unverified footage circulating online shows multiple projectiles in the skies above Qatar. Anti-aircraft defenses were apparently activated, with multiple interceptor missiles fired.

The attack reportedlytargeted Al Udeid Air Base, a sprawling military installation used by the Qatari, US and UK militaries. It was not immediately clear whether any incoming projectiles made it through.

The Qatari military said it has intercepted all the Iranian missiles, with no deaths or injuries on the ground. The emirate’s Foreign Ministrycondemned the strikes as a “flagrant violation”of its sovereignty, stating that Doha reserves the right to respond to the attack.

Iranian media, however, reported that at least three missiles made it through the anti-air defenses and struck the air base. Some outlets put the figure twice as high, claiming that at least six projectiles reached the target.

Footage being appearing in Iranian media purports to show the moment missiles were launched at the US air base in Qatar. The weapons were fired from mobile launchers at an undisclosed location, according to reports.

Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the attack on Al Udeid base, describing the facility as “the largest strategic asset of the US terrorist army in the West Asia region.” Tehran “will not leave any attack on its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security unanswered under any circumstances,”the IRGC stressed.

Iran warned Qatar of the impending attack beforehand to minimise the potential casualties and collateral damage, The New York Times reported citing Iranian sources.The strike was primarily of symbolic value, needed to demonstrate retaliation for US attacks while leaving room for de-escalation, the sources claimed.

Other countries in the region, including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq have closed their airspacein case of further Iranian strikes on US assets. According to Iranian media, another missile salvo has been fired at American installations in Iraq.

Moscow accuses Belgrade of betraying friendship

Serbian companies continue to send munitions to Ukraine via third countries, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service

Ukraine’s military continues to receive weapons from Serbia, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has stated in a press release published on Monday, in which it accused Belgrade of betraying its historic friendship with Moscow.

Officially, Serbia has avoided backing Kiev in the conflict and asserted its neutrality.

Despite this,Serbian defense firms have been increasing their supply of ammunition to Ukraine, according to the SVR.The agency asserts that this has been made possible through indirect export schemes designed to obscure the weapons’ true destination.

The SVR said that Serbian-made munitions are being exported as kits to NATO countries, where they are assembled before being transferred to Ukraine. The components are reportedly shipped primarily to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, allowing Kiev to formally receive fully built weapons from NATO soil rather than directly from Serbia.

According to the Russian intelligence agency,Serbian arms producers are fully aware that their productsare ultimatelydestined for the Ukrainian military and that their munitions “will kill Russian servicemen and civilians.”

“It is regrettable that now these traditions of friendship and mutual assistance are being erasedby the thirst for profit and cowardly multi-vectorism,” the SVR concluded.

Following the report, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced on Monday that Belgrade has suspended the export of ammunition and that special permissions will now be required for such shipments.”We have now stopped literally everything and are sending it to our army,”he said.

The accusation follows a similar claim made by the SVR in late May, in whichit alleged that Serbian companies had secretly shipped 100,000 rockets and one million small arms rounds to Ukraine. The weapons were allegedly rerouted through various states, using falsified end-user certificates.

Vucic responded at the time by denying the existence of any direct contracts with Kiev, and emphasized that Serbian law prohibits the supply of weapons to countries at war. He insisted that any such arms that do reach Ukraine must have done so via third countries, and pledged to clamp down on attempts to circumvent export controls. Moscow has consistently criticized foreign military aid to Ukraine, stating that it only prolongs the conflict and leads to more bloodshed without affecting the final outcome.

(So Vucic has betrayed Russia and also the U.S. by rigging the 2020 U.S. election, that means he may be controlled by China. Remember when Vucic was flying to the U.S. to meet with Trump after his inauguration in 2021, but Vucic bailed out and said he was very sick. Vucic said a year or two ago the EU was putting great pressure on him to support Ukraine, but he said he didn’t comply. I have to say, Vucic deceiving Putin and Russia is a very dangerous thing to do, almost deadly. He has betrayed two possible powerful Allies. He shouldn’t take a vacation to a foreign country, because these places have a lot of people falling downstairs or off roofs. Seriously how stupid can he be?)

(Quote from May 10, 2025:“Russia remains the guarantor of Serbia’s energy security, meeting around 85% of the country’s total energy needs,” Putin said, specifying that “contracted volumes of natural gas are being delivered as scheduled via the TurkStream route.”Vucic came to Moscow on Friday to attend the Victory Day celebrations held in the Russian capital, despite a recent health scare that forced him to cut short a trip to the US and cancel a planned meeting with President Donald Trumpin Florida. The Serbian president, visited Russia despite facing significant pressure from Brussels.)

Ukraine conflict, hypersonic weapons, and nuclear arsenal upgrades: Key takeaways from Putin’s speech

The Russian president has met distinguished military graduates, and gave an address about the challenges faced by the country’s armed forces

President Vladimir Putin on Monday hosted distinguished graduates of Russian military and security institutions in the Kremlin, speaking on the country’s challenges and outlining the priorities for its armed forces.

Here are the key takeaways from Putin’s speech:

Ukraine conflict

The Ukraine conflict is a part of the “fight for our future,” the president told the graduates, stating that today’sRussian soldiers are “the direct heirs of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, all generations of defenders of thousand-year-old Russia.”

Putin said that the conflict was providing invaluable military experience, which Russia must preserve, expand, and pass on to make the country’s military even stronger.

“Today, the experience of the special military operation is becoming a key advantage of the Russian Armed Forces. It is important to preserve this unique resource, pass it on to the next generations of servicemen, and integrate it into the process of training,” he stressed.

West never learns

Certain politicians in the West are still dreaming about inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia and continue to pump Ukraine with assorted weaponry, Putin stated,adding that previous attempts by Western nations to advance eastward apparently taught them nothing.

“They continue to send weapons and money to the Kiev regime, and provide military-technical and intelligence support,essentially as direct participants in the conflict,” the president said.

Military modernization

Further modernization of the country’s military remains a priority for Russia, Putin said. That goal is particularly important given “growing geopolitical tensions,” the president stressed.

“Given the increased role of unmanned aerial vehicles in modern conflicts, a new branch of the armed forces is being formed – the Unmanned Systems Troops,” he said.

Nuclear forces

Russia continues to upgrade and expand its nuclear deterrent, the president said, revealing that the country’s arsenal will receive a few additions this year, including new intercontinental ballistic missiles and upgraded strategic bombers.

“We are paying special attention here to our ‘nuclear triad’. The Strategic Missile Forces will be supplied with modern Yars systems, and the aviation component of the strategic nuclear forces will be replenished with modernized Tu-160M missile carriers this year,” Putin stated.

Hypersonic Oreshnik system

Russia is launching serial production of hypersonic Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile systems, the president said. The system was battle-tested in Ukraine last November, when the missile, which boasts multiple independently guided warheads, was used against the sprawling Yuzhmash military plant.

“Serial production of the latest medium-range missile system Oreshnik, which has fared very well in combat conditions, is being launched,”Putin announced.

Russia and Cuba to launch logistics hub in Gulf of Mexico

Moscow is eyeing deeper Latin American trade links via the Caribbean nation’s strategic Port of Mariel

Russia and Cuba are working to establish a joint logistics hub at the Caribbean nation’s most significant deep-water port to boost cooperation, RIA Novosti reported on Monday.

The project,aimed at streamlining trade flows between Moscow and Latin America, was confirmed on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2025), which wrapped up last week.

Tatyana Mashkova, head of Russia’s National Committee for Economic Cooperation with Latin American Countries, told the outlet that the two sides are working “in parallel” to set up the hub at Cuba’s Port of Mariel.

Situated at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, Marielfeatures a container terminal, free-trade zone, modern warehousing, and rail links. The area offers business-friendly tax breaks and customs preferences designed to encourage investment and local production. Several Russian companies are already present at the site.

Mashkova saidRussian and Cuban business representatives are also discussing ways to strengthen financial cooperation, including with backing from the Russian Export Center. The goal is to facilitate bilateral trade and reduce logistical barriers.

“Our companies could benefit from this Cuban platform to deliver their goods more actively throughout the region,” she stated, pointing to opportunities across Central America and the Caribbean.

Cuba has also offered to host an industrial park for the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)within the Mariel special economic zone. The proposed 50-hectare site would be leased to the bloc for 50 years, with an option to extend. The park would allow EAEU members to localize production, invest directly, and expand access to Latin American markets.

The EAEU brings together five post-Soviet nations: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.Cuba has been cooperating with the bloc for several years and became an official observer in 2020.

Iran and Israel have agreed to ceasefire – Trump

The Middle East archrivals will end their “12-day war,” the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform

Iran and Israel have agreed to ceasefire – Trump

Iran and Israel have agreed to end hostilities, US President Donald Trump claimed on Monday evening. The announcement came hours after Iran fired missiles at a US military base in Qatar, in response to American strikes on its nuclear facilities.

“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” he added.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR,” Trump wrote.
