    Lebanon: No Alternative to International Forces in South Lebanon

    Lebanese officials, including the President of the Parliament, have reiterated their stance that there is no substitute for the presence of international forces in southern Lebanon. They stress that this is necessary until Israel complies with the 'framework agreement' and withdraws to internationally recognized borders. The renewal of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mandate is also crucial for maintaining international legitimacy and support for Lebanon's sovereignty.

    Trump Administration Considers Nuclear Strike on Iran

    Former National Security Advisor Joe Kent and Tehran University professor Foad Izadi suggest that the Trump administration is contemplating the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. Kent argues that Trump's determination to 'crush' Iran leaves nuclear weapons as the only option, given his reluctance to commit US troops to a ground invasion. Izadi warns that Trump's history of high-risk decisions and threats of widespread damage make the possibility of a nuclear strike non-negligible.

    Cold War Spy Tunnel Parts Rediscovered in Berlin

    Three segments of a Cold War-era spy tunnel built by US and UK intelligence services have been discovered in Brandenburg, Germany. The tunnel, constructed in the mid-1950s, was used to tap into Soviet military telephone lines. After being exposed in 1956, parts of the tunnel were distributed to various East German army bases for training purposes. Now, three segments have been recovered and will be preserved, with one piece each going to the DDR Museum and 'Berliner Unterwelten' association's tour, and another potentially displayed at the original tunnel site.

    Montenegrin Official's Support for War Criminal Ratko Mladić Sparks EU Concerns

    Montenegrin officials, including President of Parliament Andrija Mandić, have been criticized by EU officials and political parties for supporting convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić. Vatroslav Belan, a leader of the European Union, stated that mourning for Mladić is not compatible with building a 'European Montenegro'. Mandić's party defended his statement as the stance of the parliament, not government policy. Montenegro's lack of serious engagement in confronting its past during the wars of the 90s has also been criticized.
