Europe confirms its new tough migration policy. While the European Parliament and the European Council have just given their green light to the final EU return regulation that endorses the creation of migrant deportation centers in third countries, some European countries do not want to waste any more time on bureaucratic processes and have gotten to work. Following the lessons of the Italian Giorgia Meloni in Albania, several capitals are grouping into small teams within the Twenty-Seven to probe other countries in Africa, the Balkans, or Central Asia where similar agreements to the one between Rome and Tirana can be created.

A French soldier from the UN force deployed in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was killed this Saturday and three other soldiers were injured -two of them very seriously- in an attack recorded in the south of that country which President Emmanuel Macron attributed to Hezbollah. Hours later, this pro-Iranian Shiite militia issued a statement denying any involvement in the ambush against the blue helmet contingent, which sparked all kinds of speculation.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Iran’s civilian infrastructure via his platform, Truth Social. After Washington bombed the Persian country last night for the eleventh consecutive day, the president warned the Islamic republic that “every time it fires at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether with a missile, a rocket, a drone, or any other device or weapon, the U.S. will bomb and destroy a bridge or a power plant”.

History is written by the winners, and if there is anyone who doesn’t like to lose, it is Donald Trump.
