[BEE] WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Dulles International Airport has announced an additional convenience for travelers arriving in the nation's capital. Starting next week, passengers will be able to skip the hassle of waiting at the baggage claim and will instead be directed directly to Sam Brinton's House.
"We're thrilled to be offering this new, streamlined baggage recovery process," said Washington Port Authority President Weston Jabba. "No longer will travelers have to wonder whether their valuable luggage is in the baggage claim or in Sam Brinton's closet. Now, they can take a shuttle directly to his house to pick up their stuff."
Sources with Dulles International assured passengers their belongings will be safe and secure, although some articles of clothing may be searched and worn by the cross-dressing former nuclear waste official before being returned to their owners. "This was the only compensation he requested in exchange for his services," said Jabba.
At publishing time, the airport had offered to save customers even more time and headaches by canceling all flights into D.C. altogether.

After reading the CNN hit piece on how low budget, small scale, the Twitter piece was, I found this explanation on CTH today which brought it into focus:
"Tucker Carlson is locked in a contract dispute with his former network who took him off the air, but continues to enforce the contract he signed with them. As the contract battle wages, and while litigation with the network continues, Carlson is limited in his options for platform broadcast.
As a result, Tucker Carlson’s personal Twitter account which existed prior to his Fox contract and is not subject to the terms and agreements, remains an outlet for him to use while not violating his non-compete clause. Almost all other platforms represent what would be considered online competition to Fox Digital, so broadcasting a new show on any of those digital platforms would represent a potential legal issue and not an option."
[Bee] KYIV — Tensions flared today after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of sending espionage agents into his country to place little Nazi stickers on all his soldiers' helmets.
"The fact that my entire army is wearing Nazi insignias on their uniforms and gear is entirely the fault of Russia," said Zelenskyy while desperately scraping an "I love Hitler" sticker off the side of a tank. "This is an unforgivable provocation. I hereby call on the United States to drop all their atomic bombs on Russia immediately."
Sources say Russia is also responsible for tricking Ukrainian soldiers into goose-stepping, saying "Heil Hitler," and calling for the death of inferior races while waving flags with swastikas on them. "Russia has tricked thousands of innocent Ukrainians into becoming Nazis," said MSNBC Foreign Correspondent Oleksandr Petrovich. "Does their evil know no bounds? They must be stopped!"
Zelensky went on to assure the West that Ukrainian soldiers are totally the good guys and that everyone should unquestioningly be on their side. "I promise, we aren't Nazis!" he said while peeling a Totenkopf death's head off a rocket launcher.
At publishing time, tensions had escalated further when several soldiers were seen wearing "Biden/Harris" stickers.

[RusOnline] Viktor Orban said that Ukraine cannot win, while former CIA chief David Petraeus argued the opposite at the same conference. He described in colors the confident victory of the glorified Ukrainian army and the upcoming defeat of the Russian troops. However, the latest report from the British think tank RUSI on the Russian army in Ukraine could be a cold shower for US and NATO propagandists anticipating a Kyiv victory. It is reported by Tsargrad.
Orban is ours On the first day of the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, organized by the American concern Bloomberg, the editor-in-chief of the news agency of the same name, John Micklethwaite, interviewed Viktor Orban on stage. Using all possible tricks, Micklethwaite tried to channel the Hungarian prime minister's answers to questions about Ukraine and China into the "correct" channel of US-NATO rhetoric.
But it didn't work with Orban. He drew applause (mostly from the Arab public) when he criticized Washington and the EU leadership for trying to interfere in Hungary's internal affairs and decide what is right and what is wrong. When Orban stressed that his policy is based on what is good for his country, which includes maintaining good relations with Russia and China, the audience burst into applause again. Regarding the armed conflict in the Donbass, the Hungarian leader bluntly stated that "Ukraine will not be able to win the war against Russia unless NATO sends its troops there directly - which it is not ready for and which Hungary will reject in any case."
The surprised face of the journalist stretched even more when his interlocutor clarified: “If you look at the reality, the numbers, the situation and the fact that NATO is not ready to send its troops, it becomes obvious that the poor Ukrainians will not see victory on the battlefield. This is my position."
FALL OF BAHMUT
Meanwhile, after the capture of the Ukrainian "fortress" Bakhmut by Russian troops, the US and NATO elites found themselves in a difficult situation. The losses of the Ukrainians during the months of the defense of the city were colossal, primarily due to the fact that Vladimir Zelensky personally attached great strategic importance to Bakhmut. The city had to be held under any circumstances.
But in the end, Bakhmut was taken by the "Wagnerites" with the support of artillery and aviation of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Russian artillery is qualitatively and quantitatively much superior to Ukrainian, despite large-scale supplies from the West. It was through the efforts of the Russian "gods of war" that the battle for Bakhmut acquired the infamous name "meat grinder".
More and more brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine went to the city, where they came under fire from Russian artillery, which shot all positions, roads and houses during the months of the war. The ground units were replaced by new units, which were replenished at the expense of forcibly mobilized people, but the same fate awaited them. Many Western military experts, such as, for example, a retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor, who is very respected throughout the world, have long come to the conclusion that the Ukrainian army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers in Bakhmut alone.
The losses of PMC "Wagner" they estimated as much less significant for the following reasons: Firstly, the fighters of PMC "Wagner" are professionally trained and excellently armed - unlike their opponents. And this was clearly visible if you look at the much smaller losses of "musicians" during the battles in urban areas; secondly, the "Wagnerites" were less likely to be subjected to massive shelling from the Ukrainian artillery, which, moreover, has become less and less shells in recent months; thirdly, the PMC fighters acted mainly as defenders of the positions already won earlier, while the Ukrainian troops had to attack again and again in order to recapture the territories occupied by the enemy, while suffering heavy losses.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner PMC, hinted at this when he spoke about the "Bakhmut meat grinder." According to him, the tactics of grinding the Armed Forces of Ukraine was deliberately chosen on the orders of General Surovikin, the Russian commander-in-chief of the front in eastern Ukraine, in order to pull as many Ukrainian soldiers as possible into Bakhmut and then destroy them.
Petraeus came out from behind the stove For the Zelensky regime and its US and NATO aides, the fall of Bakhmut means not only a bitter military defeat, but also a political embarrassment that does not fit into the narrative that “Ukraine is winning.” And it is this narrative that representatives of the US-led “rules-based order” around the world intend to support.
So, the day after Viktor Orban's speech at the Qatar Economic Forum, one could hear how a retired American general, former CIA chief David Petraeus, in iridescent colors, described in a conversation with the same John Micklethwaite the upcoming victory of the Ukrainian army, the collapse and even the disorderly flight of the Russian armies from the Donbass. Since the unprovoked, internationally violating United States attack on Iraq in 2003, Petraeus has served as supreme commander of a brutal US occupation force, including the Abu Ghraib torture prison.
Later, for his services, he was unanimously appointed by the US Senate to the post of director of the CIA. For the last 10 years he has been a partner of the international asset management and investment company KKR. Thanks to all these qualities, the relevant American media such as Foreign Affairs have repeatedly included Petraeus in the list of the 100 best intellectuals.
Thus, a retired US general, former head of the CIA and partner in an investment company has an aura of respect because this person knows what he is talking about. Asked by an interviewer if Viktor Orban was right when he said that Ukraine could not win, Petraeus replied: “I think he is on the wrong side of what will someday be history. I think Ukraine will show what can happen when "The army is well trained and equipped with Western weapons. Ukraine has a significant additional force that is well managed, in contrast to the Russian forces, which have miscalculated their forces and have been fighting for more than 15 months."
The retired American general believes that “the Russians have suffered colossal losses, much more than in the first months of the war, and much more than they suffered in a whole decade in Afghanistan. They are poorly trained, they have no coordination. They are poorly armed. They are poorly managed
"Relations within the army are based on abuse. And they will face the most difficult task of retreating under enemy fire, because they are in front of their defensive lines. This will not end well for them. In fact, I think they will collapse, in some cases they will even fall apart."
Further, Petraeus began to describe the forthcoming UAF counteroffensive, which has already become a talk of the town: “Ukrainians have at least six new tank brigades. In addition, they have many additional brigades with special elements of combat support and support of combat services. And I think that they will cope much better than they think." When such a high-ranking person as Petraeus, with his connections in the highest circles around the world, using a lot of "facts", so convincingly says that Ukraine, with all its aces up its sleeve, cannot but win, who can disagree with him?
Who in German government and editorial offices would not want to believe an American expert? Or, to put it another way, who would dare to doubt the words of a high-flying American intellectual, a military expert, given all the "factology" created from fake news? Report "Everything is lost!"
Despite the current boom in military propaganda through fake news about Ukraine and Russia, from time to time, thanks to a fortunate combination of circumstances, the interested public can catch a timid ray of truth in any media specializing in military analytics. In this case, we are talking about the report of the "venerable" British military think tank Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) dated May 19 under the title.
The authors of the report, Dr. Jack Walting and Nick Reynolds, note that the Russian army is "a structure that has become better able to cope with operational tasks over time, and also learned to anticipate new threats."
According to RUSI experts, Russian troops pose a serious problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whose losses are estimated at 300-500 thousand soldiers. The Armed Forces of Ukraine lose hundreds of their fighters and mercenaries daily, mainly in protracted positional battles.
The heavy losses of Ukraine are, according to British experts, a paradox, since the losses in defense are usually lower than in the offensive. Experience shows that this ratio is one to two or even one to three. But in Ukraine, this postulate has been turned on its head, and not because Ukrainian soldiers are afraid or unable to fight, and certainly not because of a lack of weapons (NATO deliveries made the Neo-Bandera the most well-armed army in Europe after Russia).
This low efficiency of the Ukrainian army is more likely due to the fact that the Russian troops quickly learn from their mistakes, change and improve tactics and quickly adapt to any new military situation. The British also report that the Russian electronic warfare (EW) system is still very powerful - at least one head system is installed for every 10 km of the front line.
"These systems are primarily aimed at combating drones. Ukraine is losing, as before, about 10,000 drones a month. The Russian EW system is also capable of intercepting and decrypting real-time messages from Motorola tactical communications systems with 256-bit encryption, which are widely used by the Ukrainian military," experts say.
The report also notes that Russian air defense systems are connected directly to powerful radar stations. In July 2022, the Russian military moved their headquarters to fortified structures: "They connected their headquarters to the Ukrainian telecommunications cable network, which already existed in the territories occupied by the Russian army, which significantly reduced the possibility of intercepting radio communications and its electronic signature."
As for military aviation, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, at least 480 Ukrainian combat aircraft and helicopters have been destroyed since February 24, 2022. Ukraine also no longer has a single operating military airfield. British experts especially note the extremely successful use of 500-kilogram FAB bombs by the Russian Air Force. These FABs are dropped from an average height from a distance of about 70 km from the target.
With the help of wings and GPS guidance, they hit the target. Experts suggest that the Russian Air Force does not want to endanger their pilots from Ukrainian air defense, so the FABs are dropped from a safe distance. In this regard, experts note that "the Ukrainian military has established that Russia has large stocks of FAB-500s and is systematically converting them into glide bombs."
At the same time, they note the Russian advantage in missiles, including multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). "Russian gunners have also improved their ability to fire from multiple positions and change positions quickly, making them less vulnerable to counter-battery fire," RUSI analysts said.
The British report gave a particularly high rating to the Russian engineering troops, which proved to be "one of the strongest branches of the military." It goes on to say the following: Russian sappers set up complex obstacles and field fortifications along the entire front line - concrete-lined trenches and command bunkers, wire fences, "hedgehogs", anti-tank ditches and complex minefields.
The Russian demining system is extensive and combines anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, the latter often having multiple activation mechanisms, making them difficult to deactivate. Then RUSI experts come to a disappointing conclusion for the former American General Petraeus and NATO: "All this is a serious tactical problem for the Ukrainian offensive operations."
So what? Petraeus, of course, is pursuing absolutely propagandistic goals, distributing an interview that the Western media will then disassemble into quotes, explaining to the layman why they need to "be patient a little more, and Russia will lose." The former Tseraushnik understands the importance of an information victory over Moscow. But wars are not won by media victories alone. Russian troops have clearly learned a lot in recent months. It will be interesting to read what Petraeus will say when the Russian flag is raised in Lvov...
This is a treatment of Soviet river crossing operations which were well south of the main effort in Bukrin, then later Lutezh.

[RIA] Tonight, Ukrainian troops once again shelled the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. The cyclopean structure, built by our ancestors, could not withstand the many months of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Surface structures and the engine room were destroyed, the dam was broken.
Now the reservoir is rapidly shallowing, a wave several meters high is rolling along the Dnieper, flooding houses and flooding the left bank.
The miracle of civilization, the beautiful Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, was built in the 50s by Soviet people, who could not even imagine that their own grandchildren, having enrolled in the "Ukrainians", would hit it with artillery. It was created by the best professionals from all over the Soviet Union, the latest technologies were used there, the whole town of Novaya Kakhovka was built specifically for the needs of the hydroelectric power station.
The birthday of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station has become a holiday for our entire vast country. And this masterpiece of engineering and human labor has been hammered by the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for months.
Perhaps some cunning military plan lurked in this wild cruelty? Won't blowing up the dam make it easier for the UAF counteroffensive? No, our left bank of the Dnieper will be flooded and for many months will turn into a viscous swamp - with all the desire to gain a foothold there, it will be impossible for the Vesushniks. Vladimir Saldo , the acting governor of Kherson, has just confirmed that the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will in no way prevent our military from defending the left bank.
No, no, there are no Clausewitzes on the other side. Dumb cruelty and a passion for destruction - that's all that moved the Kyiv terrorists.
In a series of terrorist attacks that began the notorious counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the handwriting of the American and British intelligence services is clearly visible. The terrorists of ISIS * fed by Western specialists acted exactly according to the same tracing - they blew up dams, bridges, destroyed cultural monuments, destroyed entire cities, as if setting out to wipe out everything that they had not created from the face of the earth. Not without reason in social networks b. The Ukrainian SSR is often referred to as the UGIL.
In Ukraine, terrorist tactics have worked especially well because envy has become its fuel. Quite early, twenty years ago, the Ukrainians for the most part felt that they were going somewhere in the wrong direction. That Russia went to develop by leaps and bounds, and they themselves remained somewhere in the 90s. It was then that envy of the "Muscovites" began to degenerate into hatred.
We were guilty before them only because we lived better. They built luxurious houses, highways and the Crimean bridge, laid out parks and finished embankments, turned their cities into heaven on earth.
A characteristic detail: the residents of our Novaya Tavolzhanka immediately recognized the video fakes filmed by the Ukronazis allegedly in their city because they don’t have such dead houses, such shabby walls, such broken pavements. They are separated from their Ukrainian neighbors by several kilometers - and decades of historical progress.
Our well-being angers the Ukrainian side to the teeth grinding. “Moscow is an incredibly rich city, you can fight in it for decades,” wrote the ideologist of Ukrainian Nazism Dmytro Korchinsky.
Hence their iconic, so to speak, terrorist attacks: drones in Moscow , shelling of the Belgorod region, undermining the Crimean bridge, a plan to use a dirty nuclear bomb. No military sense, no strategy, just to break, smash, shit more.
For any normal person, this style of military action only causes disgust. It hurts to watch how the shells fly over the elegant, blooming Shebekino. In social networks, people are screaming: it's time to hit it, it's time to hit it.
However, this is exactly what the terrorists want. If the Russian Armed Forces move towards Belgorod , then the section of the front to the south will be exposed, and the entire front is a thousand kilometers, for a minute. The Veseushniks will climb into the counteroffensive along this section. Then they will send their kamikaze saboteurs to another Russian city and will continue to tear apart our army in order to find a loophole in our defense.
Hitting and hitting is a good thing, but victory loves silence. It is the losing side that shouts the loudest: they also need to give the right picture to their sponsors. But in fact, the result of the terrorist attacks on the Belgorod region is terrible for the Ukrainian side. The first attack alone cost them seventy dead.
Successful strikes on the enemy look completely different. They are not preceded by a high-profile PR campaign like "wow, we're going to hit." They are not accompanied by viral videos. But intelligence is just quietly working, and then a high-precision Caliber missile is struck at the coordinates, and now dozens of high-ranking military officials are sent to visit Bandera b. Ukrainian SSR and their Western "advisers".
The reality of hybrid warfare is that if you lose on the battlefield, then no high-profile terrorist attacks will save the case. Yesterday the Vesushniks tried to counterattack in the South-Donetsk direction. As a result, in a day they lost more than one and a half thousand soldiers killed. This is the real result, not TikTok videos and New York Times articles. More proof that terrorist regimes don't last long.
... And we will rebuild Shebekino in the best possible way. Roses will bloom there, as in Donetsk , and we will lay out pedestrian streets with tiles, as in Moscow. Not without reason now, as in Soviet times, the best professionals from all over Russia are rebuilding Berdyansk and Mariupol . In the end, we will revive the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. We can handle everything. We are a people, and no terrorist enclave can defeat us.

Whistling past the graveyard. Russia's allies are fast disappearing. The Caucasus is roiling. China eyes Siberia. Draft aged Russians are fleeing the country. Putin is bogged down in a war in Ukraine. The Russian military obviously is a shell of its former being. May Day was a joke. Europe's former neutrals are joining NATO. What else could go wrong?

[REGNUM] The myth of the "tsunami" that descended in a terrible wave downstream of the Dnieper after the explosion of the dam of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station in 1941 is one of the favorites in the box of Ukrainian propagandists. For years, a ten-meter wave that “killed one hundred thousand Ukrainians” has been wandering around in various publications, eventually turning into a thirty-meter one.
She covered the units of the Red Army defending on Khortitsa (although there were already Germans there), drowned 20 thousand Red Army soldiers in floodplains and at crossings, then hanging them “over bushes and trees”, buried “dozens of ships along with teams” in the abyss.
As a result of the careful work of the masters of the pen, " giant whirlpools cut off and literally sucked into themselves two of our retreating combined arms armies and a cavalry corps ." Only a few were able to swim out, immediately captured. But the coastal villages did not float anywhere, they were covered with water, which at the same time devoured the “columns of refugees”. All together, this was intended to illustrate the inhumanity and criminality of the Soviet government, which "hated the Ukrainians."
And now this story was taken out of the box outside the schedule to be filed as evidence for the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station: look, they always do this. Only now “Russians hate Ukrainians”, and therefore they commit such acts that are senseless in their cruelty.
Only all this was not.
The Dnieper HPP dam was indeed partially blown up, which was done by a great master of his craft Boris Epov, a teacher at the Engineering Academy with extensive practice, the author of many scientific papers. In his autobiography, he gave the exact parameters of the task: " as a result of an explosion in the body of the dam, about 100 meters along its length were torn out (out of a total length of the dam equal to 600 m)."
The main task was to make it impossible for the German troops to cross, since the dam is a natural bridge. And they blew it up taking into account future recovery, even destroying the turbines by turning off the lubricant supply at full power.
The overflowing waters of the Dnieper flooded the outlying streets of Zaporozhye, the writer Oleg Zoin in his "Ordinary Romance" says that tram number 5 did not run from Svobody Square to the Pristan, because the tram tracks were hidden by a meter layer of water. But downstream, the water spread no more than during the annual spring floods that occurred before the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station. Yes, it dispersed suddenly, which caused the drowning of many cattle tied in the meadows and bees in the hives: local residents repeatedly told inquisitive local historians about this.
Kyiv is preparing to dump water from reservoirs during the offensive
But that's all, since the bridges were destroyed, the refugees had long gone to the left bank, and all the military units downstream in an organized manner crossed on improvised means. The height difference at the dam was only 37 meters, and before a neat undermining (with the expectation of restoration), excess water was dumped.
An approximate simple calculation shows that during the destruction of the dam section, a breakthrough wave about 12 meters high and about a hundred meters wide from the very first second began to diverge along the kilometer-long channel of the Dnieper and a wide floodplain. After 20 seconds, this is already a one and a half meter wave, and further downstream the level will rise by five centimeters per minute, rapidly dropping to zero.
The destruction of the central section in 1941 made it possible to successfully defend until the fall and to take out all industry and all property from Zaporozhye in an organized manner.
But when the Germans blew up the DneproGES dam on October 15, 1943, they no longer thought about any restoration. They needed to spoil as much as possible, leaving, about which propaganda for some reason never reports anything. Of the 49 bulls of the dam, only 17 survived; the electrical facilities of the station and the bridge were destroyed. Although the plan was to destroy the entire body of the dam, which was prevented by fast Soviet sappers.
So it is in Novaya Kakhovka: there is military expediency, but there is a stupid desire to spoil and destroy.
Blowing up the dam is definitely the second. It is tied to the water supply of new Russian territories and the Crimea. Berdyansk, Melitopol and Genichesk will sit down on water austerity. The main damage from flooding is on the left, Russian bank. There are also defensive structures built in case of an attempt to break through.
And most importantly, there is a new reason to squeal fitfully about "historical hatred" for the unfortunate Ukrainians. Which, by an amazing coincidence, aired beautifully laid-out memos on rescuing drowning people the very next morning after the disaster.
By and large, there is no difference between the German approach from 1943 and the Ukrainian one from 2023. But the Germans, at least, were honest.
[Rudaw] Weeks after the latest elections, a sense of disappointment overwhelms many Kurdish politicians and the public in Turkey due to the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party’s (HDP) poor performance and the opposition’s failure to unseat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Eight years ago, for the first time, a pro-Kurdish party passed the 10 percent threshold and entered the Ottoman Turkish parliament when the HDP gained 13,12 percent of the votes in the June 2015 parliamentary election. Prior to this victory, Kurds only entered the legislature as independent politicians. When the results were canceled due to AKP’s failure to form a new cabinet, the HDP votes decreased to 10.7 percent. Three years later, the party performed well again, winning nearly 12 percent of the vote. This gave Kurds hope for a bright future in a country where they had been systematically oppressed for decades.
Both wins were largely due to strong campaigns fueled by inspiring words from the HDP’s charismatic and young leader Selahattin Demirtas.

[Bee] Biden sought to calm fears over his health following a nasty spill on stage last week in an address to the nation, which he delivered while wearing a blue padded helmet.
"Listen, folks, thanks to this nifty new hat I'm wearing, you don't have to worry about my health or safety anymore," said the President. "I've already fallen twelve times this morning and didn't feel anything! I feel fit as a fiddle and ready for my luncheon with Eleanor Roosevelt this afternoon! Not a joke!"
Sources within the White House say they have taken further precautions to protect the president from damage related to his lack of coordination, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, incontinence, cancer, and shingles--including limiting the President's work day to 30 minutes in the morning and wrapping him in bubble wrap whenever they transport him. "Nothing to worry about here," said gay black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is gay and black. "I have never seen a more healthy person in my entire life."
At publishing time, the White House was forced to take further precautions after the President attempted to eat his new helmet.

Official Egyptian propaganda, because the masses must be carefully taught... and then their prejudices pandered to.
[AlAhram] In seconds, Israeli missiles turn Palestinian dreams into rubble. The Israeli army’s tactic in all its military operations against Gaza is to demolish homes.
The last of these military attacks was Operation Shield and Arrow, which began with the liquidation of three military commanders from Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... on 9 May and continued for several days.

[REGNUM] Iran intends to "form a new maritime coalition for operations in the northern Indian Ocean," Tehran's Mehr news agency reported . This statement was made by the commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Republic, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani. Among the alleged coalition partners, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Navy first mentioned Saudi Arabia. The Saudis, in the recent past, the worst opponents and competitors of Iran in the region, after the historic reconciliation (which happened with the participation of China), if not partners of Tehran, then at least benevolent neighbors. Further, among the possible participants in the naval coalition, Irani mentioned Qatar (with which the Saudis and Iranians also traditionally do not have the best relations), several other countries of the Persian Gulf - Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain. Last but not least, Iran has invited two other well-known nuclear-weapon opponents, Pakistan and regional superpower India, into the “ Coordination Coalition”.
India and Pakistan? Is that alliance likely?
Although the authorities of all of the above states have not officially confirmed the information, the media, citing the Qatari news site Al-Jadid, reports: Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman have begun consultations - we note, under the coordination of the same China. The purpose of the talks is to ensure the safety of navigation in the Persian Gulf.
