🇮🇷🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

40,000 Iranians have not died for the Strait of Hormuz or for a nuclear deal.

We have to continue choking the regime for means to be able to finance and fund and pay its mercenaries. Because it could also be a result of economic collapse by the regime that will put it to its end, not just only external military pressure.

But the best way to avoid committing boots on the ground by foreign forces is to help the Iranian people play that role, provided that you give them that added support.

🇮🇷🇺🇦❌🇮🇷 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

I have been asked whether I am concerned about the Islamic Republic's durability. Whether the regime's continued survival should temper expectations.

My answer is no — I see a regime that used Hezbollah operatives and Iraqi and Afghan militias to suppress its own people in January, not because it was strong, but because its own security forces could no longer be fully trusted to fire on Iranian citizens.

I see a military and intelligent establishment whose outer defenses were exposed and degraded.

The Islamic Republic is not stronger than it was a year ago. It is hollower. The facade is still standing, but the structure behind it is not.

What is required now is not patience with the regime. It is urgency in support of the people rising against it.

🇮🇷🇺🇦❌🇷🇺🇮🇷 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

The drones darkening the skies of Ukrainian cities are built by the same factories, founded by the same regime that deployed drone surveillance over Tehran's streets to hunt down protesters in the dark.

They fed coordinates to snipers and arrest squads operating under an internet blackout they themselves imposed. The same drones have been deployed to arm regime proxies across the Middle East.

The Shahed drone does not distinguish between a residential block in Kharkiv, a protest square in Tehran, or commercial offices in Dubai.

It serves the same masters and advances the same agenda, the destruction of any sovereign people's right to determine their own future.

🇮🇱🇱🇧🇺🇸⚡️ — Diplomatic sources revealed that Israel and the U.S. are working to recruit "vetted" Lebanese individuals to serve as security contractors in southern Lebanon, bypassing the official Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), as part of an effort to suppress Hezbollah's influence in the region, according to a Jerusalem Post report citing sources familiar with the emerging plan.

The initiative aims to fill the security vacuum left by the ongoing conflict and the limited capacity of the LAF. Under the proposed model, local contractors would handle checkpoint security, patrols, and coordination with UNIFIL forces, theoretically creating a buffer that pushes Hezbollah north of the Litani River.

However, the plan has sparked fierce internal opposition in Lebanon, with critics warning it will sow "dangerous seeds of division" and effectively create a "mini South Lebanon Army" that undermines state sovereignty. Recruiting from the local population is seen as a direct challenge to the state's monopoly on force.

Arab diplomatic sources warned that the plan is "100% likely" to lead to violent clashes between local recruits and Hezbollah, a concern amplified by the recent U.S. Treasury sanctions on Lebanese officials accused of obstructing the peace process. The plan aims to establish a framework similar to the "Awakening Councils" previously used in Iraq.

🇱🇧🇮🇱🇱🇧⚡️ — Hezbollah has not resumed its core leadership or central command structures in southern Beirut's Dahieh district since the ceasefire, according to i24NEWS, citing Israeli assessments.

Hezbollah moved major parts of its command network early in the conflict to other areas of Beirut — including Maronite neighborhoods — as well as locations outside the capital and has kept them there.

IDF officials believe that additional strikes on Dahieh would have limited impact on Hezbollah’s operational capabilities.

🇱🇧🇮🇱🇱🇧⚡️ — Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam:

I want to speak with complete frankness to the Lebanese people:

Are the negotiations guaranteed to succeed? Certainly not. But they are the least costly path for our country and our people, compared to the other options available today.

This path is not easy and will not be short, but it becomes shorter and we become stronger on it when all efforts unite under the roof of the Lebanese state.

And that requires renouncing exclusivity and stopping the stubbornness. For the state is conducting the negotiations today on behalf of all Lebanese, and it is incumbent upon them all to rally under its banner, so that the decision of war and peace remains a Lebanese national decision, not in the hands of one faction over another, and not outside the borders.

Section 224 of the bill, titled the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” proposes expanded joint weapons development, co-production programs, and linked military computer networks, further intertwining the two countries’ defense industries and military infrastructure.

The measure would formalize an unprecedented level of military integration at a time when public distrust of the Israeli government in the U.S. is rising.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — Ukraine has begun using mid-range attack drones to deploy landmines on key Russian supply routes deep behind the frontline in southern Ukraine.

➡️ The mines are said to use magnetic fuzes designed to detonate when large vehicles pass nearby or over them.

➡️ The tactic will disrupt logistics more effectively than direct drone strikes, as roads must repeatedly be shut down and cleared for mine sweeps, slowing military traffic and supply movement.

🇪🇪⚡️ — Estonia may eventually be forced to introduce mandatory military conscription for women as falling male birth rates threaten the country’s ability to meet defense manpower targets, according to TVP World.

Head of Estonia’s Defense Resources Agency Anu Rannaveski says the number of boys born annually has dropped from around 15,000 in previous generations to roughly 4,000–5,000 today, raising concerns that Estonia will not be able to fill its planned 4,100 yearly conscription slots by 2040.

The NATO member currently requires military service only for men, while women serve voluntarily, but Rannaveski described compulsory female conscription as increasingly becoming a question of “when, not if.”

🇮🇷🇺🇦❌🇮🇷🇷🇺 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

The Moscow-Tehran axis is the defining adversarial alignment of our era. It must be confronted as such, with the same coherence, the same resolve, and the same transatlantic solidarity that define the West's finest hour.

Ukraine has held the line at enormous cost. Iran is paying an enormous price to break free. The free world has moral, strategic, and historical reason to stand with both.

Do not negotiate with the axis of chaos. Confront it.

Do not manage the Islamic Republic. End it. Do not wait for a better moment. This is the moment. I am not waiting. The people of Iran are not waiting.

🇮🇷🇺🇦❌🇷🇺🇮🇷 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

A democratic Ukraine that endures is a beacon for every people subject to foreign aggression.

A democratic Iran that rises is a beacon for every people living under theocratic oppression. Each of our victories strengthens the other. Each of our defeats emboldens the same forces.

This is why I am calling for a transatlantic coalition, not merely to support Ukraine and not merely to pressure the Islamic Republic, but to confront the Moscow-Tehran axis as the means of coordinated sanctions enforcement that does not allow one side of the axis to compensate for pressure on the other.

🇮🇷🇺🇦❌🇷🇺🇮🇷 — Reza Pahlavi in Odessa:

Tehran and Moscow are not merely aligned. They are not merely convenient partners of the moment. They are co-architects of chaos.

A doctrine that the rules-based international order is a Western imposition to be dismantled, that borders are suggestions, that sovereignty belongs to the powerful, no matter how wicked, and not to the people, no matter how righteous. That democracies are inherently weak and can be made to yield.

This is not a new axis. The Islamic Republic has been waging its version of this war for 47 years against the Iranian people. First against them, then against its neighbors, then against any order that constrained it.

Russia has been waging its version for decades against its own Democrats, against Georgia, and jointly with the Islamic Republic against Syria and Ukraine.

What has changed is that they are no longer doing so in parallel. They are doing so together, coordinated and emboldened.

My country has been struck from every direction, by the regime from within and by the consequences of the regime's own recklessness from without. And yet, the Islamic Republic still stands.

Some in this room may interpret that as a sign of the regime's resilience. I am here to tell you it is not.

It is a sign of the world's failure to draw the right conclusions from what it is watching. It is a sign that the free world has not yet understood what it is truly fighting for or what it stands to gain from that fight when that fight is won.

Armenia must be supported. Moldova must be supported. The Baltic states. Azerbaijan must be supported. We must find ways to support the people of Georgia as well — and this is a shared European task. No one can be lost.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed M/V Lian Star transiting international waters toward an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman and issued more than 20 warnings while informing the vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade.

A U.S. aircraft disabled the vessel by firing a Hellfire missile into the ship’s engine room after Lian Star’s crew failed to comply. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.

U.S. forces have disabled five commercial vessels and redirected 116 to fully enforce the blockade as a ceasefire with Iran remains in effect.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — Russia’s spending on the war in Ukraine is projected to exceed the 2026 budget by at least 2 trillion rubles ($28 billion), according to a letter from Finance Minister Anton Siluanov seen by the Financial Times.

The letter warned the overspend could rise to 4 trillion rubles ($56 billion), a “negative scenario," and projected similar 4 trillion ruble overruns in both 2027 and 2028.

To offset the costs, the Finance Ministry proposed freezing trillions of rubles in non-military spending over the next three years.

Russia had originally planned a 2026 budget deficit of 3.8 trillion rubles ($53 billions), but the deficit has already reached 5.9 trillion rubles ($83 billion) — around 2.5% of GDP — in the first four months of the year, marking the country’s largest fiscal shortfall since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
