Tehran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has said that the Strait will henceforth be “managed under Iranian arrangements” and will “never return to what it was before the war.” Ghalibaf made the comments in Iran after returning from talks in Switzerland with the US. “Problems can arise in the Strait of Hormuz, so we agreed to establish a center and a communications line so that if issues occur, we can resolve them more quickly within a 30-day period,” Ghalibaf was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  Moscow’s Foreign Ministry warned on June 18 that any North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) attack on Russia would trigger a “decisive and devastating” retaliation, according to officials. The warning followed what Russian authorities described as the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow in years, with more than 200 drones intercepted by Russian air defense systems. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that any NATO aggression would be met with overwhelming force, cautioning Western commanders that they “should realize what they are pushing Europe toward,” as reported by state media. The statement marked a sharp escalation in rhetoric amid ongoing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, which have increasingly drawn in neighboring NATO members. Drone Attack Details, Damage and Casualties The drone attack struck the Kapotnya oil refinery and caused damage to civilian infrastructure in several Moscow districts, according to Russian emergency services.

The vote was called by the conservative Swiss People’s Party in an effort to control the country’s population growth, which is driven entirely by immigration.Switzerland is a unicorn among the world’s nations: a successful multilingual state. The country was forged in the medieval and early modern wars of Europe, where its cantons of German, Italian, French and Romansh speakers joined together to form a federal union to defend itself against the powerful monarchies around it.Hemmed in by mountains, the Swiss had natural protection. But they augmented it through military preparedness and a reputation for producing tough fighters. Since 1506, the Pope has been protected today by the Swiss Guard, which has now evolved into an agency combining police, security and investigation functions.Switzerland successfully stayed neutral during WWI and WWII. That neutrality was backed by required military service from every man. On completing military service, Swiss men are required to retrain every so often and to keep a military rifle at home with a stock of…
