You think the Amazon is the biggest forest on Earth? Wrong. The Amazon is the biggest rainforest… But the biggest forest system on the planet is the Taiga — 16.6 million km² of cold forest wrapping the north of the Earth. That’s roughly 2.5 Amazons. #Taiga #Amazon #Russia #Siberia

🇦🇲🇪🇺 Armenia is moving closer to the EU. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan says Yerevan will soon begin the formal process of applying for EU membership. But the move could put Armenia on a collision course with the Eurasian Economic Union. Moscow has warned that EU integration would mean ending Armenia’s cooperation with the EAEU and losing its associated benefits. The next major question: Will Armenia choose Brussels or remain tied to the Russia-led economic bloc? The decision could reshape Armenia’s geopolitical position in the South Caucasus.

🇵🇰🇮🇷🇺🇸🇴🇲 Pakistan is stepping back into the Iran–US crisis. Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is heading to Tehran for his third visit this yearwhile Washington prepares a new round of sanctions and the Islamabad mediation track remains stalled. Pakistan says it can help reopen a channel between Tehran and Washington. But the real test is the Strait of Hormuz. Iran wants the US blockade lifted, sanctions eased and military threats ended before reopening the strait. Munir’s mission could now determine whether diplomacy gets another chance or the region moves toward another cycle of escalation. And Oman’s upcoming Tehran visit could be the next piece of the puzzle. Pakistan isn’t just mediating. It may be carrying the region’s next off-ramp.

🇷🇺💥 PUTIN: TUSK'S NORD STREAM OUTRAGE IS ABOUT MONEY, NOT MORALS Poland's prime minister is "shocked" by the sabotage – but Russia's president says his real concern is lost transit revenue. 💰 Tusk's position is motivated by "economic expediency" – Poland lost out on transit fees when Nord Stream was built. 🗺️ The original plan included a pipeline through Poland – but the decision was made to run both lines along the Baltic seabed to "minimise risks." 🇵🇱 Warsaw opposed this because it would "lose certain economic advantages as a transit country" – and revenue from Russian hydrocarbons. #NordStream #Tusk #Putin #EnergyWar #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Hypocrisy #Geopolitics

Spanish outlet El País interviewed Wafae Atid about how hard and oppressive her life is in Morocco — enough to drive her to Ceuta seeking refuge. Wafae eagerly explains to camera how restricted her life is, including difficulties traveling and studying. Except her own social media pages paint a rather different picture: she has traveled extensively, studied in Dubai and received a solid education. So this poor oppressed girl somehow has more passport stamps than half the internet.

🇮🇷🎬 IRAN'S FM TO TRUMP: “We've Seen This Movie Before – We Know How It Ends” Washington's latest sanctions are a "recurring scenario" – and Tehran is not impressed. 🔴 What Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said (to Jamaran agency): 🎥 "The economic sanctions Trump is talking about are a recurring scenario and the same familiar rudeness of American politics. It's a movie we've seen many times before, and we know how to deal with it." 🛡️ The US is in a state of desperation – the only way out is "engaging in a respectful dialogue with the Iranian people." 💪 Tehran is confident: the new anti-Iranian course is doomed to failure, like all previous attempts. #Iran 🇮🇷 #US 🇺🇸 #Sanctions #EconomicWar #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Resistance #Araghchi
