🇪🇸 🇺🇸 Trump Criticizes Spanish Economy Despite It Outpacing USA Growth
President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Spain, citing its poor economic performance and low defense spending.

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israel Plans Renewed Gaza Offensive as Hamas Refuses Disarm
Israeli forces are preparing to resume major combat operations in the Gaza Strip, setting a deadline for early next month. The decision follows Hamas's definitive refusal to disarm or relinquish its control over the territory.
Israel considers the complete dismantlement of Hamas's military capabilities a non-negotiable security objective. It was also part of all the previous peace accords. Consequently, a return to intense fighting is anticipated in order to ensure disarming Hamas.
The planned offensive is expected to extend far beyond the previous operational lines into camps and Gaza City. Concurrently, Israeli forces remain engaged in combat with Hezbollah in the north.

🇺🇸 🇮🇶 🇰🇼 🇮🇷 US Warns Contractor of Iran-Backed Threats in Iraq & Kuwait
The US government has advised defense contractor V2X to evacuate personnel from bases in Iraq and Kuwait. The recommendation stems from credible intelligence that Iran-backed militias intend to target American contractors in the region.
The situation is complicated by reports that an evacuation would be considered 'voluntary,' potentially forcing employees to choose between their safety and their jobs. V2X is also seeking to maintain its presence to fulfill its contractual obligations.
Multiple sources have since confirmed the US government's call for the company to evacuate its employees - however, the government doesn't force it.

🇲🇦 🇷🇺 Western Sahara Separatists Polisario Front Attacks Moroccan Forces with Russian Missile
The Polisario Front's armed wing has released footage of a recent attack against a Moroccan military position in the Western Sahara. The strike targeted Moroccan Royal Armed Forces along the defensive wall separating the territories.
The group utilized a Russian-made 9M113M Konkurs-M anti-tank guided missile in the assault. That raises questions of potential Russian involvement in the conflict, or, possibly, of Algeria importing Russian weapons and then sharing with Western Saharan separatists.

🇯🇵 Japan Eases Defense Export Ban, Drawing Chinese Rebuke
Japan's government has officially reversed its long-standing, post-WWII ban on exporting military hardware. This policy shift marks a significant departure from decades of constitutional pacifism.
The move allows for case-by-case approval of defense equipment sales, strengthening Japan's role as a key security partner in the Indo-Pacific. The policy now permits the sale of lethal weapons to 17 partner nations with defense agreements, such as the US and UK.
A general ban on exporting to active war zones remains in place, though exceptions may be considered under special circumstances.
In response, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed grave concern, stating the move defies Japan's commitment to peace. Beijing accused Tokyo of restarting its 'war machine' and warned of international vigilance against its 'neo-militarism'.

According to cargo tracking group Vortexa, at least 34 tankers linked to Iran have successfully bypassed the US naval blockade since its inception. A significant number of these vessels were reportedly transporting Iranian crude oil, a key source of revenue for the regime.
Vortexa's data indicates 19 of the vessels exited the Persian Gulf while 15 entered. Analysts suggest the current US Navy deployment is insufficient to fully enforce the blockade line.
The naval cordon reportedly stretches from Oman's Ras al-Hadd coast all the way northeast to the Iran-Pakistan border.
