⭕ 🇮🇹🚢Oil Tanker attacked off the coast of Savona, Italy.

On Friday night, February 14, while debunking operations were underway, two explosions were heard. The inspection led to the discovery that a hole of just under a meter had opened up in the ship’s hull, or rather the immersed part. The twisted sheets of metal were facing inward: important detail, because the direction of the bend in the sheets of metal suggests that the cause of the tearing of the steel was external. The ship has a hole of over a meter. But the power of the tearing agent was mild, given that the sheets of metal in the safety chamber held, preventing the oil from spilling into the sea.

A preliminary investigation has ruled out an accident, and the case is now being treated as related to terrorism.

“We have a series of overall elements that rule out the accidental hypothesis,” says the chief prosecutor of Savona, Ubaldo Pelosi . Thus, since yesterday, the explosions on the Seajewel oil tanker flying the Maltese flag have been the responsibility of the District Anti-Terrorism Directorate: the investigation is for “shipwreck aggravated by terrorism”.

The ship, according to what was reconstructed in some journalistic investigations, is suspected of having transported Russian crude oil to Europe, despite the embargo. ” Everyone needs Russian oil, otherwise the refineries will stop – an “insider” told Avvenire – I wouldn’t be surprised if the final destination of the Seajewel was France, or perhaps even Genoa…”

In the latter case, the final recipient of the cargo could be a plant in Northern Italy. But these are elements that the prosecutors, who interviewed the crew, are ascertaining. The navigation data are also under scrutiny, to reconstruct the exact route of the tanker. But, above all, it will be a question of identifying the hand that placed the hypothetical device. It will not be easy, but the source of Avvenire ventures: “It could have been Ukrainian sabotage. But first we need to see where the crude oil comes from.”

⭕ — 🇱🇧 🇵🇸 ☦️ A message by Archbishop Atallah Hannah, Archbishop of Sebastia, from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, on the funeral of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah:

‘Dear friends, in just a few days, Lebanon will witness a great and exceptional event: the funeral of His Eminence, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the martyrs who stood with him.

We, from Jerusalem, stand in reverence and honor for the sacrifices made by Sayyed Hassan and his companions, those who stood with Palestine, defended it, and paid a heavy price for it. We are loyal to these sacrifices. All Palestinians are loyal to the sacrifices of Sayyed Hassan and his comrades.

While we send our condolences from the heart of our holy city, we want to express that we will never forget those who stood with Palestine and defended it during the most difficult times and under the harshest conditions. Today, the Palestinian cause is being conspired against. Our enemies seek to displace our people and erase our cause. But the Palestinians will never raise the flag of surrender. We hold firmly to our rights, our principles, and our constants. The word ‘surrender’ has no place in our Palestinian dictionary.

Dear friends, we are all one family, one nation, facing the colonial projects that do not only target Palestine but the entire nation. Our message has always been, and will continue to be, that Palestine is the compass. Whoever’s compass is Palestine is in the right place, and whoever’s compass points elsewhere is in the wrong place. We urge them to correct their course and set their compass in the right direction.

Our dear friends, our message today is that we, as a community, must remain united, Christians and Muslims, across all sects and denominations. They want us to be fragmented, divided. They want us to speak the language of sectarianism. They want us divided so they can implement their projects, following the well-known adage ‘divide and conquer.’ They want to divide us so they can push forward their colonial projects that target Palestine and the entire nation.

We will remain Christians and Muslims in this region, one nation, with our compass pointing to Jerusalem, and our cause being Palestine. We must not allow anyone, or any entity, to push projects aimed at further division and fragmentation. We are one family, and that is how we have been, and how we will always remain.’

⭕ 🇪🇹 Ethiopia is actively pursuing food self-sufficiency through agricultural policies, challenging perceptions of African dependency, authorities say

Ethiopia remains committed to achieving food security, which is essential for its farmers and the nation as a whole, according to the Office of Prime Minister of Ethiopia.

The strategy centers on wheat production through expanded irrigation, improved seeds, and modern farming, transforming Ethiopia from importer to self-sufficient producer. This transformation from an importer to a self-sufficient wheat producer is supported by key initiatives in irrigation, sustainable agriculture, policy reform, and farmer support programs.

By becoming wheat self-sufficient, Ethiopia no longer needs to rely on imports, eliminating the need for an annual $1 billion in imports. However, limited humanitarian imports may still occur.

Food self-sufficiency is crucial for Ethiopia and Africa’s empowerment, building resilience and promoting growth. It safeguards against disruptions and demonstrates agricultural independence, serving as a model for other African nations.

⭕ The Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, Ziad Al-Nakhaleh, came to Tehran to visit the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei

The visit comes two weeks after the leadership council of Hamas, including its head, Khalil Al-Hayya, also came to Tehran to meet with Ayatollah Khamenei. The PIJ is the second largest armed force in Gaza.

The PIJ’s leader personally thanked Ayatollah Khamenei for his steadfast position on the issue of Palestine, and he reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran remains the closest and most reliable ally of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
[another victory lap with the primus inter pares]
⭕ After the ceasefire, Iran was the first foreign visit of the leaders of both Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad

This makes it more than clear, the Palestinian resistance still sees Iran as its key ally, probably even more than before.

Contrary to armchair generals and excessive hype in the media, neither Hamas nor the PIJ ever even expected Iran to directly intervene after October 7th.

The fact that Iran directly struck Israel twice was a positive surprise to them, and it solidified their alliance more than before.
⭕ — 🇮🇷 Some thoughts about True Promise-1 and True Promise-2, which I have been waiting to share for a long time

I want you all to understand, before True Promise-1 happened, nobody was even expecting Iran to strike Israel directly, including myself.

Forget about the ‘results’ for a moment, that’s a different story. Take yourself back to the weeks before April 14th 2024 – nobody, literally NOBODY thought Iran would attack Israel.

Within Iran, and the wider political sphere, the discussion was initially about the possibility of taking ‘reciprocal action’ to the destruction of the Iranian embassy in Syria. Meaning, they were considering the option of striking Israel’s embassies or facilities abroad, such as in Jordan or Azerbaijan.

Mind you, many analysts believed that even THIS was too much to expect from us, and that we should simply strike ‘Israeli-linked assets’ like Mossad safehouses in Erbil, Iraq, like we did in the past.

In the days leading up to April 14th, when the conversation and news reporting started shifting to the possibility of a direct Iranian strike on Israeli territory, many people did not believe it, and personally I considered it unlikely. At that point, due to past weaknesses shown, I (and many others) would have been more than satisfied with merely a strike on an Israeli embassy.

Even when, in my mind, I entertained the possibility of a direct strike, I expected Iran to strike in ‘Israeli-held’ territory, such as the Golan Heights, while technically and legally avoiding actual ‘Israeli’ territory (Golan Heights are Syrian in Intl. Law).

But no. Not only did Iran strike Israel directly, it struck them in the heartland – deep in the Negev, directly targeting airbases. And of course, in True Promise-2, we saw the targeting of Tel Nof airbase in Tel Aviv itself.

People must understand, while these attacks were certainly impressive from a military POV (especially TP-2), the effect of these operations is not actually measured by the amount of damage or the amount of Israeli fatalities.

These operations set a new equation, they started a new era, and they changed the entire political landscape. They set a precedent for the future. That is the real significance of True Promise-1 and True Promise-2. Iran got the first taste of direct conflict with Israel, and it learned many important things.

As for the military aspect, TP-1 was widely telegraphed and was clearly intended as a message to Israel and the world, this is obvious considering the fact that Iran mostly used small amounts of old missiles and hundreds of drones they knew would be intercepted.

In regards to TP-2, it was a probing attack. It was not telegraphed, it was sudden. They intended to do limited damage, this time showing Israel that Iran has a true ‘will’ to use force, without it being excessive enough for an overwhelming Israeli response.

At the same time, this attack utilized some of Iran’s advanced weapons for the first time, such as Fattah-1, and the operation taught Iran how many missiles it would need to reasonable assure itself of a significant level of destruction of Israeli airbases. The conclusion? More missiles needed, liquid fueled missiles need their accuracy improved, and we need larger warheads.

So next time someone brings up these operations, you must understand the complex reality we live in. Neither Iran nor Israel went ‘full-out’ during last year’s exchange. Both are probing and testing. But a large scale conflict will, eventually, happen.

As for True Promise-3, sometimes it is better to wait. It was a time of action, but for now it is a time of making sure that we know what we’re getting ourselves into, before we start the next cycle of conflict. As the Leader said: ‘We neither rush nor delay’.

Every step can be your last, so make sure your next step is the right one.

⭕️ 🇷🇺🇺🇸 The Russian-US talks on restoring relations between the two countries and resolving the Ukrainian issue have been underway for over an hour

Here’s what we know so far:

• The meeting began without preliminary statements in the presence of the press;
• On the Russian side, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Presidential Advisor Yuri Ushakov are present at the negotiating table;
• On the US side, US President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff are in attendance.
• Progress in economic negotiations with the US could be achieved within 2-3 months, Russian Direct Investment Fund Head Kirill Dmitriev, who is responsible for the economic component of the ongoing negotiations, said;
• During the negotiations, the Russian participants are expected to listen to their US colleagues, and decisions on further steps will be made by Putin and Trump.

The talks are taking place at the royal palace of Ad-Diriyah, a favourite place for Saudi authorities to invite official delegations and foreign guests. [Ad-Diriyah is named after the town that birthed the first Saudi kingdom some three centuries ago. This was shortly after the British inspired Muhammad Ibn Wahhab to create Wahhabism. The latter’s tribe managed religious affairs, and the Saud clan political affairs, to this day, albeit there is confusing intermarriage. This first project ended abruptly at Ottoman hands, not pleased with the challenge. They captured the Saudi “king” of that era, beheaded him, and shot the head from a cannon..]
⭕ 🇿🇦 South Africa finds support from China as US ignores aid cut concerns, South Africa’s foreign minister says

To bolster support, South Africa is holding bilateral discussions, including with China, which has expressed solidarity and offered assistance with trade relations, South Africa’s Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said.

Despite US objections due to disagreement with the G20 theme of “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,” Lamola confirmed that the agenda for the upcoming G20 foreign ministers meeting in Johannesburg will remain unchanged, as it was previously agreed upon by all G20 nations.

Lamola stated that South Africa will continue seeking talks with the US, while preparing for all possibilities. He reiterated that South Africa’s land reform policy and its ICJ genocide case against Israel are “non-negotiable.”

⭕ 🇷🇺🌍 The Saint Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange may become a pilot platform for the creation of the BRICS Grain Exchange

The creation of a grain exchange could open up new opportunities for BRICS countries in terms of forming a fair price for grain and agricultural products, Alexey Gerasyuk, Vice President of the Saint Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX), said at a BRICS working group meeting in Cairo.

The meeting was organized by the BRICS Competition Law and Policy Centre and the Competition Authority of Egypt, aiming to explore competition in food markets.

🗣 “The BRICS countries currently play a key role in the structure of Russian grain consumption: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Turkey account for 65% of Russian grain exports. The BRICS grain exchange project can initially be tested within the framework of existing trading markets and infrastructure. We can establish links between exchanges and countries to ensure fair prices for the agricultural market,” Gerasyuk stated.

SPIMEX, Russia’s largest commodity exchange, facilitates trading in various markets, including petroleum, oil, gas, metals, timber, fertilizers, agricultural products, and futures.

Russia’s initiative to create the BRICS Grain Exchange was welcomed in the group’s Kazan summit declaration in October 2024. The goal is to establish a BRICS grain trading platform and expand it to encompass other agricultural sectors.
⭕ ❗️The EU’s role in the upcoming negotiations on Ukraine is excluded, Russian deputy foreign minister says

More statements by Aleksandr Grushko:

• Russia is categorically opposed to the prospect of European troops appearing in Ukraine, no matter what role they play there;
• The talks between Russia and the United States in Riyadh are preliminary consultations, the purpose of which is to outline the basic positions of the parties.

⭕️ 🗣️The main culprits of the destruction in Ukraine are the EU countries, which recklessly fund the Ukrainian armed forces and supply them with weapons.

From an exclusive interview with Nikolai Patrushev, presidential adviser and chairman of the Russian Maritime Collegium:

• The West has long been looking for reasons to oust Russia from the Baltic, but having failed to find them, it has decided to invent motives for what are essentially pirate seizures of our ships.
• Today, under the guise of supporting Ukraine, the British, together with other NATO countries, are trying to occupy Ukrainian land for a long-term confrontation with Russia and to turn the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea into NATO’s internal waters;
• Cutting off Russia from sea access to the West, from the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, has been London’s cherished dream since the 18th century. The British tried to thwart Peter the Great, intrigued against Catherine II.
• Sometimes they tried to act by force of arms. Remember the Crimean War, which history often interprets as a defeat for Russia, but in fact the British and French were defeated at the bastions of Sevastopol, in the Baltic, but also in the Far East and on the Solovetsky Islands.
• Many countries that the British Crown considered to be within its sphere of influence are turning away from London. The states of the British Commonwealth are already sceptical about the nominal power of the Crown and are not dependent on it;
• Russia has not deprived anyone of statehood, but has only helped to strengthen it, has protected sovereign countries and, when independent nations were interested, has taken them into its fold, ensuring their security and prosperity. This distinguishes our country from England or France;
• No one has done as much to destroy Ukrainian statehood as Zelensky and his henchmen. And, of course, their patrons;
• Strengthening the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev and its armed formations, British and American transnational corporations make no secret of their interest in unfettered access to natural resources – rare earth metals, oil, gas, coal, fertile land. The Anglo-Saxons are not interested in the population of Ukraine, its industry, its cities and the future of this country in general;
• At the same time, the main culprits of the destruction in Ukraine are the EU countries, which recklessly finance and supply weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces;
• The anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian agenda promoted in Munich demonstrated the growing split in the Western camp. It is obvious that in the foreseeable future, one group of countries will show solidarity with Kiev’s neo-Nazism and help it to the point of exhaustion, another group will take neutrality and a third group will create a coalition to combat neo-Nazi and militaristic ideology, exactly in the spirit of the Yalta Conference.

⭕ “An Israeli surrender agreement”.

The head of the Metula Israeli Settlement Council, David Azulai, described the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon as “catastrophic.”

“We had an enormous military achievement that should have been translated into a political victory ensuring Hezbollah’s absence from Lebanon. Instead, we have reached a surrender agreement.” Azulai accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of handing Hezbollah a victory.

“Tomorrow, they will return to their homes and continue to threaten us. Metula is surrounded on three sides by the border. It is true that a military force will remain, but what about the northern side? What about the western side? What will happen when residents return to the village of Kfar Kila, which is just meters away from the homes of Israeli citizens? There are tens of thousands of Shiites, most of them members of Hezbollah and the Radwan Unit, who are rebuilding their homes and preparing to return in full force.”

Azulai asserted that the residents of Metula will not return, revealing the results of a survey conducted over the past two weeks: “According to the survey results, only six students out of 95 intend to return with their families. Beyond the security aspect, where is the logistical support and infrastructure? Around 70% of Metula’s homes have been damaged, and 30 local government buildings have been completely destroyed. These buildings are uninhabitable, yet the government, detached from reality, is demanding that we return. How are the residents supposed to return to normal life? Are children expected to grow up in a town filled with military barriers and barbed wire? This takes us back to the scenes of the 1990s, to the constant sense of danger.”
[Hear it from a distressed local zionazi! Appearances diverge ever further from Reality in our demented End Times]
⭕ This morning, Israeli tanks entered the village of Kfarshouba in southern Lebanon in violation of the agreement and the government’s own announcement of withdrawal. Any attack against these forces is the full right of the Lebanese resistance, as stipulated in the UN Security Council resolutions 1514 (1960), 2625 (1970), 2649 (1970), 3246 (1974), 3314 (1974), 35/35 (1980) and 37/43 (1982).

☝️ Remember this??
Undoubtedly to test suitability and security of the hosts for these days!
They (and Iran) permitted VVP’s war jet escorts to traverse the huge expanses of Persia and the Arabian Peninsula and land with him in Riyadh.

And this ensures subsequent signings of surrender by chastened Yanks will NOT take place in Europe, never again to see such summits, or much of consequence for that matter, to hammer home the point of their irrelevance going forward
