Patrushev: Russian Baltic Fleet Ensures Maritime Security
Nikolai Patrushev, Assistant to the Russian President and Head of the Russian Maritime Authority, announced on Sunday that the Russian Baltic Fleet is strengthening its positions amid the current complex military-political situation, ensuring safe navigation and repelling provocations by the naval forces of unfriendly states.
According to Sputnik, Patrushev stated on his Telegram channel on the occasion of the Baltic Fleet's founding day:
"Amid the complicated military-political situation, the fleet continues to strengthen its positions, reliably ensures the safety of navigation, repels provocations from the naval forces of unfriendly states, and hones its skills through exercises in the Baltic Sea and long-distance voyages."
Patrushev emphasized that the sailors of the Baltic Fleet carry out their duties with honor to protect the nation's maritime borders.
He added: "The Baltic Fleet, founded by Peter the Great, is truly the cradle of the Russian Navy. Its entire history stands as a testament to heroism, courage, boldness, and loyalty to the homeland."
Earlier, Patrushev noted that NATO's European wing continues its policy of attempting to blockade Russia in the Baltic region, ignoring the possibility of resuming dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
He warned of a high likelihood of increased threats to Russian port infrastructure and freedom of navigation, stressing that Moscow will not allow any infringement on its national interests in the Baltic. He affirmed that strengthening Russia's military presence in the region is a guarantee of its sovereignty in this strategic direction.

The statement confirmed that the council will be headed by the President of the Republic, and its members will include the heads of the legislative and judicial branches, senior commanders of the armed forces, and relevant ministries.

Speaking before senior commanders of the Iranian Ground Forces, Hatami noted that 'the enemy has repeatedly attempted to harm the Islamic system through various conspiracies, but after witnessing the steadfastness of the Iranian people, it realized that its calculations were wrong and that it had made a major strategic error.'

European Commissioner Demands Israel End Starvation Tactics in Gaza
Brussels – SABA Hadjah Lahbib, EU Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness, and Crisis Management, on Sunday called on Israel to immediately end its policy of starving civilians in Gaza and to allow unrestricted humanitarian aid access. In a post on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, Lahbib described the humanitarian suffering in Gaza as 'horrific', stressing that denying food and medicine to civilians is a grave violation of humanitarian values. 'The scale of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza is shocking,' Lahbib wrote. 'Humanity must prevail. Aid must be allowed in — fully, immediately, and without restrictions.' Her remarks come as Palestinians in Gaza face unprecedented famine, triggered by Israel's closure of all crossings since March 2025 and tight restrictions on food, medicine, fuel, and relief aid. Shops are empty. Bread has become a rare commodity. Prices of basic goods have skyrocketed, and death by starvation is now a dominant cause of death in the besieged territory. Humanitarian agencies and rights groups have repeatedly warned that the situation in Gaza constitutes deliberate starvation, which under international law may amount to a war crime. Lahbib's statement adds to a growing number of voices within the EU demanding Israel end its blockade and comply with international humanitarian law.

The Red Sea Battle & the Beginning of the American Empire's Decline
Sana'a – SABA By: Political Editor The modern world is witnessing the downfall of the so-called 'American Empire of Evil,' which, through military dominance, positioned itself as a global policeman—exploiting a moment in history to enforce its will, suppress nations, occupy lands, and seize resources. That empire is now crumbling, and its collapse is expected to be as catastrophic as the trail of destruction it left behind—from Vietnam and Latin America to Afghanistan, former Czechoslovakia, Iraq, and many others scorched by American military intervention. As the saying goes, 'nothing lasts forever.' Ibn Khaldun, the renowned Arab sociologist, wrote that nations have life cycles similar to humans—youth, adulthood, and old age. Today, America is in its twilight, losing allies across the globe, including key NATO members in Western Europe. NATO, established by the U.S. after WWII to curb so-called communist expansion, was ultimately a tool to secure American interests. Under Donald Trump's leadership, the U.S. alienated much of the world in the name of 'America First.' The empire is now shedding allies, interests, and influence, as its antagonistic posture backfires. The world has watched with a mix of relief and astonishment as the Yemeni Armed Forces have dealt heavy blows to the world's most powerful military. The battles have proved that the decisive factor in warfare is not just weaponry but the will and resilience of the human spirit. The Yemeni fighter has exemplified this truth in the Red Sea and Arabian fronts—securing a resounding victory over a global superpower. Yemen's naval forces have established control over the Red Sea, enforcing an effective blockade on shipping routes tied to the occupation in support of Gaza. This demonstrates the Yemeni Navy's ability to challenge major powers and reshape strategic calculations in one of the world's most vital maritime corridors. These Yemeni victories have awakened other nations, prompting them to reconsider their positions vis-à-vis global powers—especially the United States. Long subjugated by American demands and overreaching expectations, countries are now realizing they can, indeed, say 'no' to the U.S.—just as Yemen has boldly done in its confrontation with both the U.S. and Israel.
