Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center and a former advisor at the Bank of Russia, warned on X that the near-shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has triggered an energy shock that risks morphing into a "slower, more consequential story": fertilizers.

"A near-shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz is triggering a supply shock that will show up in food prices 6–9 months from now," Prokopenko wrote on X, adding, "Putin's gains here may be more long-term than simply lining his pockets with petrodollars."

European Court Denies Appeal Of Parents Seeking Custody Over Their Kids In Religious Freedom Case

 In Sweden, a Christian couple is going through a nightmare that captures the growing bias and targeting of religious families in Europe. Daniel and Bianca Samson have been fighting to regain custody of their daughters since 2022 after the government cited their regular church attendance and faith as warranting their removal.

The parents, with the help of the Alliance Defending Freedom International, were delivered another blow after the European Court of Human Rights refused to accept their appeal as “inadmissible.”

This saga began when their eldest daughter had a fight with her parents over being denied a smartphone and makeup.

She contacted police and made a false report of abuse.

However, Sara, quickly retracted the allegation and police found no evidence of abuse.

Nevertheless, the state took both girls — aged 10 and 11 at the time –and refused to allow them to return home.

Trump halts ALL strikes on Iranian energy sites after 'very good conversations' - as Tehran denies talks with Washington

 Donald Trump has halted all strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure after what he described as ‘very good conversations’ aimed at ending the war, even as Tehran rejects his claim that peace talks are underway.

The President said that the US and Iran had 'very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities' over the last two days.

Trump said he had ordered the Defense Department 'to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period.'

He warned that the cessation of the strikes was 'subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.'

Iran vows to destroy Middle East water and energy facilities if US attacks power plants

 Jon Henley and Lorenzo Tondo in Jerusalem, guardian.com

Tehran has said it will “irreversibly destroy” essential infrastructure across the Middle East, including vital water systems, if the US follows through on Donald Trump’s threat to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants unless the strait of Hormuz is fully opened within two days.

As Iranian missiles struck two southern Israeli cities overnight, injuring dozens of people, and Tehran deployed long-range missiles for the first time, the developments signalled a dangerous potential escalation of the war, now in its fourth week, with both sides threatening facilities relied on by millions of people.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Sunday that vital infrastructure in the region – including energy and desalination facilities – would be considered a legitimate target and would be “irreversibly destroyed” if his country’s own infrastructure was attacked.

UN experts warn Israel's Gaza aid restrictions worsening crisis for women, girls

 Beyza Binnur Donmez, Beyza aa.com

GENEVA

UN experts on Thursday warned that Israel's restrictions on humanitarian operations in Gaza and the West Bank are worsening the crisis for women and girls, who are facing disproportionate harm.

"Women and girls are bearing a disproportionate share of deprivation as access to food, healthcare, shelter, water, and sanitation continues to collapse," the experts said in a statement.

They said Israel’s tightening of restrictions on humanitarian organizations has "deepened an already catastrophic situation," with vulnerable groups most affected.

The collapse of Gaza’s health care system has placed women’s lives at immediate risk, they stressed, particularly due to disruptions in maternal and reproductive health services.

"Denying access to maternal and reproductive healthcare in these conditions puts lives at direct risk," the experts warned, highlighting risks for pregnant women and those in vulnerable situations.

Israeli DM Orders Destruction of All Bridges Over Lebanons Litani River 

In the course of prosecuting the ongoing invasion of southern Lebanon, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced that he is ordering the destruction of every bridge across the Litani River, raising doubts over whether the hundreds of thousands of people they ordered evacuated from south of the river will ever actually be allowed to return.

Israel ordered the population out of the area south of the Litani River at the war’s onset, and has expanded that to include the area between the Litani and Zahrani Rivers. They have also issued evacuation orders for Shi’ite portions of Beirut, leaving well over a million civilians displaced.

Attacks in and around the Litani River bridges were already becoming commonplace last week, including a high-profile incident on Thursday in which Israel attacked a RT press crew reporting from northern Tyre overlooking one such bridge. The reporter and cameraman were injured in the attack, and Israel defended the incident saying everyone was warned to evacuate and “sufficient time had passed.”
