The warning came amid reports of the US deploying two aircraft carrier strike groups and continuing its military buildup in the region.

“It’s good,” the US agency told Ukrainian saboteurs about the plan, according to a source The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) discussed the plan to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea with Ukrainian saboteurs, German outlet Der Spiegel has reported, citing sources in Kiev. The government in Berlin has attributed the September 2022 explosions that crippled the key energy conduits built to deliver Russian gas to Germany to a small group of Ukrainian operatives. Moscow has repeatedly expressed deep skepticism over the German version of events, arguing that such an operation in NATO-controlled waters could not have been executed without direct government assistance.

The conversation took place at a meeting in Kiev shortly after the escalation between Russia and Ukraine, it added. At the time, the Americans “apparently liked the plan,” the...

Naftali Bennett accused the US media figure of talking about Israel without knowing the country Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett denounced US talk show host Tucker Carlson for his brief visit to Israel, calling him “a chickens**t” and “a phony.” Carlson, a conservative commentator who questions Israel’s influence on US foreign policy, traveled to the country to interview Mike Huckabee, the current US ambassador there. Before the interview, he posted a photo on X showing himself and business partner Neil Patel in front of Ben Gurion Airport with the caption “Greetings from Israel.” Bennett, a right-wing politician who led Israel’s government from 2021 to 2022, reacted negatively, taunting Carlson for reportedly not leaving the airport and criticizing Israel without having experienced life there. “Tucker Carlson is a chickenshit,” he said. “Next time he talks about Israel as if he’s some expert, just remember this guy is a phony!” Read more Trump weighing plan to ‘k...
The main reason for the current crisis is the West’s desire to force Tehran into a neocolonial framework With the US and Israel both openly contemplating attacks on Iran, the entire Middle East feels like a powder keg one spark away from catastrophic escalation.
