Russia sends nuclear warning to NATO as tensions rise in the Baltic
We have emphasised that Russia possesses the necessary means to repel any potential aggression and is prepared to deploy its entire arsenal to defend its territory should NATO countries attempt to isolate the Kaliningrad region from the rest of our country,
I would say that the Russian letter is only another Russian attempt to intimidate Europeans, and that the response by NATO is firm and responsible,
They (Russia) expect more action, including a blockade of the Baltic Sea — just below the level of war in European calculation, but for them this will be open war. I see a risk of mutual miscalculation,
(This... This is the) first time since (the) Cold War that Russia is threatening us like this. So this is serious."
No, it's not. Putin knows that he can never win (against) NATO, so I don't take this that seriously."
We call upon the Russian Federation to end its unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We urge the Russian Federation to refrain from increasingly reckless behaviour towards the Allies and to cease its irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,
Indian flydubai pilot Smit Machchhar unlocked cockpit, named assailant, while wounded
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster,
My conclusion is that he resourcefully managed to open the door for us before he collapsed,
Joy mixed with fear as US forces leave Iraq amid potential security vacuum
Iran, which has entrenched its influence in Iraq through allied armed groups and is determined to drive all US forces out of the Middle East, views the US pullout as a triumph for its "axis of resistance" of allied armed groups across the region
The most important question now is whether Iraq's security institutions have prepared a viable Plan B for the post-coalition phase,
The lesson from the past two decades is that security vacuums can be extremely dangerous,
The end of the international coalition’s mission does not mean the end of our battle against terrorism, but rather Iraq’s transition to a phase in which it assumes full responsibility for its security and stability,

UK has 'strong indications' Iran was involved in RAF airbase bombing plot, Burnham says
The five, all of whom live in London, were later released on bail
There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford, but of course it remains an ongoing, complex and serious police investigation, and of course we are working closely with our colleagues in the United States of America,
Whether it was surveillance, a 'dry run' to test security, or a stunt to send a message to the British government are all under consideration,

Man arrested in connection with suspected RAF terror plot called police on self
The motives of the caller are still under investigation, as the authorities are unsure if the suspect was attempting to sincerely stop the operation or if it was part of the larger plan
I understand why this development will have come as a surprise to many, but I'd like to reiterate that it was an investigative decision, and one which is grounded in experience and careful consideration of policing powers,

Trump says Iran 'will give up,' compares its nuclear ambitions with North Korea
The US president did not provide figures to substantiate the claim
Trump is trapped in a quagmire in which he can neither negotiate nor fight,... They are doing very poorly. I don't know if they are ready to give up yet. They will give up. This is to stop a nuclear weapon. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,
He happens to be a friend of mine, Kim Jong Un. He's a friend of mine. He likes Trump. Doesn't like a lot of other people,
Ah, that's interesting. You know why? Because you had a different president, and they could have stopped him,
Iran will not have a nuclear,

I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance, where we don't have just universal basic income. We have universal high income,
Well, they're doing very poorly. I don't know if they're going to give up yet, but they'll give up, but they're doing very poorly."

Czech Republic would be ready to respond if Russia attacks Baltic countries, Czech PM Babis says
Babis, whose government includes a pro-Russian anti-immigrant party, has halted Czech contributions to military aid for Ukraine and also opted out of EU and NATO financing and military aid pledges for Kyiv
The fact that we do not talk about it and journalists don't get fodder for their articles does not mean we don't address it,
