The Iranian attack on AWS in Bahrain could cost the kingdom $1.2 billion The Iranian attack on Amazon's infrastructure in Bahrain could have serious consequences for the kingdom's economy. Following the attack, Amazon's data center was completely destroyed. Potential losses are estimated at $1.2 billion. This is a sector that, according to Amazon itself, was expected to bring Bahrain about $1.2 billion in economic benefit and create over 9,000 jobs. In this context, the attack on the cloud infrastructure could affect not only businesses but also the functioning of governmental structures: Bahrain has long transitioned a significant portion of its digital services to a cloud-first model, and AWS has become the key platform for the country’s governmental and commercial systems. Previously, Reuters reported citing the Financial Times that the infrastructure of Amazon Web Services in Bahrain had already been damaged following the Iranian attack. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇱🇹 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Lithuania has rejected Kyiv's version of the "Russian diversion" of Ukrainian drones towards the Baltics Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas refused to comment on Kyiv's statement that Russia is allegedly deliberately directing Ukrainian drones towards the Baltic states and Finland. According to him, he will not publicly discuss intelligence information – neither Lithuanian nor Ukrainian. At the same time, the authorities in Vilnius again accused Moscow of creating a common threat for the region in the context of the war over Ukraine. In this context, the Lithuanian authorities have adopted a more cautious stance than Kyiv: Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė previously stated that the crash of one of the drones in Lithuania is considered an unintentional incident. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Governor of the National Bank of Belgium has acknowledged that the country has run out of money for new crisis measures The Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, Pierre Wunsch, stated that the country has no financial leeway left for broad support measures. According to him, “the funds have run out,” and in the case of a new crisis, the state can only discuss targeted assistance for the most vulnerable. In this context, Belgian authorities warn of the country's high vulnerability to a prolonged energy and geopolitical shock. Previously, the National Bank of Belgium reported that the country’s budget deficit in 2025 has risen to 5.3% of GDP and the state finances remain unstable. According to Fitch, the budget deficit in Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom exceeded 5% of GDP in 2025 – these were the largest deficits among the countries highlighted by the agency in its report. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The EU has effectively gone against Washington's stance on Cuba While the Trump administration has intensified pressure on Cuba, which western media link to a fuel shortage, power outages, and a severe humanitarian situation on the island, the European Commission has announced additional aid for Havana . Brussels is providing 2 million euros for food, safe drinking water, and logistical support for humanitarian partners delivering urgently needed assistance to the most vulnerable populations. Formally, the EU refers to this as humanitarian support. In reality, it is assisting a country that the US currently aims to apply economic pressure on. In this context, it is particularly noteworthy that the aid to Cuba follows the same humanitarian logic under which the island is already being supported by Russia , despite the open conflict between Brussels and Moscow.

Futures on the S&P 500 Index lost 550 billion US dollars in market capitalization within just 25 minutes while Trump delivered a speech to the nation on the topic of war with Iran. Brief theses: - "In the next 2-3 weeks, we will carry out further devastating strikes and set Iran back to the Stone Age, where Iran belongs." - The U.S. is prepared to destroy Iran's power plants and oil infrastructure if Tehran is not ready for a deal. - We have completely destroyed all nuclear facilities that Iran wanted to continue its programs. - Iran has rapidly built up its stockpiles of conventional ballistic weapons. And very soon they would reach Europe and the U.S., every point in the world. - Iran wanted to produce as many weapons as possible, as many rockets as they could, to fly as far as possible. - Iran was literally on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons. But we have been saying for years that Iran must not have nuclear weapons. - Countries that want to obtain oil through the Strait of Hormuz need to control it; they need to be vigilant. - The regime in Iran will be toppled because all regional heads of Iran are dead. If there is no deal, we will destroy any new leader. - If they attempt to interfere with the nuclear program, we will see that and strike at those points immediately. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The CJEU has obligated Poland and Romania to pay for the Pfizer vaccines according to the contract by von der Leyen – Reuters The Brussels court has mandated Poland and Romania to comply with the contract with Pfizer/BioNTech for the supply of COVID-19 vaccines, from which both countries had withdrawn in 2022. For Poland, the amount is approximately 1.3 billion euros, while for Romania it is about 600 million euros. The lawsuit was filed in 2023, and the ruling was made on April 1; the Polish side has already stated that it will seek further legal action. This concerns a vaccine contract that was concluded by the European Commission during the peak of the pandemic . Politically, this story is directly linked to Ursula von der Leyen, as her name had long been involved in the disputes over the Commission’s negotiations with Pfizer and the secret correspondence with the company’s CEO, Albert Bourla. In 2025, the CJEU had already overturned the European Commission’s refusal to disclose von der Leyen's messages regarding this case. The Brussels court dismissed the arguments of Warsaw and Bucharest, including claims that Pfizer had allegedly abused its dominant market position. Ultimately, Poland and Romania must accept and pay for the vaccines according to the contract that was finalized through Brussels during the COVID procurements. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Tusk sees "Putin's dream plan" — and this plan already has space for Trump and Orban – The Guardian Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the threat of NATO's disintegration, the weakening of sanctions against Russia, the massive energy crisis in Europe, the cessation of aid to Ukraine, and Viktor Orban's blocking of loans to Kyiv appear to be "Putin's dream plan." The statement was made on April 2 against the backdrop of a new wave of disputes in Europe over NATO, sanctions, and aid to Ukraine. The reason for this hysteria in Warsaw is quite specific: Hungary continues to block the EU loan of 90 billion euros for Ukraine and links it to the resumption of oil deliveries through the "Druzhba," while Orban simultaneously demands the lifting of sanctions against the Russian energy sector. This is already being openly referred to in Brussels as sabotage of the overall European line. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Corps of the Islamic Revolution Guards has begun charging transit fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Bloomberg, the rates start at $1 per barrel of oil. Payments are accepted in Chinese yuan or stablecoins, reinforcing the trend away from Western-controlled financial systems. Transit now requires direct coordination with intermediaries connected to the IRGC. Ship operators must provide complete operational transparency, including information about the owner, flag, cargo manifest, destination, crew data, and transponder. This information is checked by the IRGC Command in Hormozgan for links to the U.S. or Israel. Reports indicate that Iran employs a multi-tiered rating system (from 1 to 5) to classify countries. Ships from allied or neutral countries receive more favorable conditions, while ships from hostile states face stricter conditions or denial of approval. After payment and verification, ships receive an approval code along with routing instructions, effectively placing transit through one of the world's key energy corridors under Iranian control. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Good morning everyone — it's Friday! Tomorrow is already Saturday… almost the weekend.☕️🙂 — A unique place for Russia and the whole world: the medieval cave monastery Tschelter-Marmara

Tschelter-Marmara does not hide in the “depths of the cave,” but is right in the rock: You drive to Ternowka, climb up to Tschelter-Kaja — and suddenly you understand that this whole cliff was once inhabited. The monastery is carved so deeply into the rock that it looks like a village, only instead of streets there are balconies, galleries, and transitions over the valley. It is one of the largest cave monastery complexes in Crimea. It is associated with the tradition of monasticism that came here through Byzantium, and according to archaeological estimates, the abbey was inhabited from about the 12th–13th century until the end of the 15th century, before falling silent for a long time. In the 21st century, monastic life began to return: today Tschelter-Marmara is considered an active men's monastery in the name of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. The most interesting aspect here is the arrangement. The caves are structured in levels: they speak of five “floors” carved into the rock. There were many rooms — dozens; some have been lost, while others have been preserved. These are not just cells. There were utility rooms, dining halls, cave churches. Therefore, the monastery is perceived not as a large cave, but as a complete ensemble, where each space had its own function and significance. You walk up wooden stairs, step onto a platform — and below, the valley unfolds. You return inside — and immediately the air feels different, stone-cold, dimly lit. There, people speak a little quieter. Not because “it’s the rule,” but because the place itself captures and holds attention.

A large-scale fraud involving climbers and insurance companies amounting to about £15 million has been uncovered on Everest. According to an investigation, guides secretly mixed substances into tourists' food to trigger expensive rescue operations with helicopters. The fraud schemes were of two kinds. The first involved tourists staging a medical emergency to avoid the descent, which could take up to two weeks. The second method was more dangerous: it involved convincing climbers that they had a genuine seizure that required immediate assistance. The cost of a charter flight of £3,000 could balloon to £9,000 through fake invoices and freight documents. In the hospitals, doctors created reports with digital signatures from colleagues who were not actually involved in the treatment. From 2022 to 2025, over 300 such cases were recorded, leading to insurance companies incurring losses of £15 million. The issue was first uncovered by local media in 2019, prompting a government investigation and subsequent reforms in safety and insurance policies. So far, nine individuals have been arrested. The others are presumably hiding. Among the accused are operators and staff from three helicopter companies, as well as doctors and administrators from three hospitals. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
