the phase when the sides alternated strikes, one country would strike in the morning, the other at night, has passed, today the sounds of explosions merged in a terrible unison, which were heard all morning, all day and evening both in iran and israel. both countries say they are ready to go to the end, but what this end will be, each understands in its own way. in tehran , the headquarters, drone and radar factories, the mihrabati airport, buildings were attacked during the day.

the crater of one of the buildings of the islamic revolutionary guard corps was filled with water. siir has already canceled the honorable pardon for the killed high-ranking generals, scheduled for tuesday. they may strike there too. there are already 128 dead and 900 wounded across the country. in iran, they are catching the spotters of massad's agents, who were making homemade explosives to blow up infrastructure facilities. death is promised here for cooperation with israel. an explosion at the sacred place for all shiites in the world, the tomb of imam reza in mishhad. and this is alarm in israel. today, tel aviv was also attacked by yemeni forces. in lebanon, the missiles flying to israel were met with jubilation, an eerie surrealism. but where the missiles fall, at least. in tehran, at least

in haifa - death in this area of batyam near tel aviv, six people died, two of them children, prime minister netanyahu came here. imagine what would happen if iran had nuclear weapons that fell on israeli cities. imagine what would happen if iran had 20 thousand such missiles. the idf today, through the mouth of a retired general who speaks forsi, suggested that all employees of iranian nuclear centers flee. in tehran , in turn, they believe that it could flare up all. israel crossed a red line in international law by attacking nuclear facilities, targeting the south pars field is a strategic mistake means dragging the war beyond iran. this action could engulf the entire region and the world. in this regard , iran's threat to close the strait of armuz looks completely different, analysts expect a sharp jump in oil prices tomorrow morning at the opening of trading platforms, which could turn the energy market around the world upside down. after all, it is already clear that.

escalation, every day more and more missiles, destruction, deaths. vital karmazin and sergey eliseev, news from the iran-israel conflict zone. the european union is increasingly calling for the russian fleet to close the baltic sea and make it an internal nato sea. right now , the bloc's main naval exercises in the baltic , balt-tops 20. 25, are taking place . 16 countries, more than 40 ships, 25 aircraft and about 9,000 personnel are participating in the maneuvers. surface and underwater drones are involved. it is clear that the conventional enemy for them is russia. they are practicing artillery shooting and landing operations, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense. nato maneuvers on...

zircon worked on the tasks of striking a detachment of ships of a simulated enemy with the implementation of electronic launches. is there a start, any comments? the ministry of defense noted that these exercises are designed to prevent illegal actions by unfriendly states against our navy and merchant fleets. our special correspondent in germany, mikhail antonov, will continue the european theme.

german defense minister episorius appeared during the week in kiev, as is their custom, suddenly received an assignment from chancellor merz to look at where germany plans to invest the next billions. with my own eyes. i want to assess the current military and social situation in ukraine. i will meet with responsible persons, deputies. we will also visit an industrial enterprise. what kind of enterprise inspector pistorius has remained unknown, but given the previously discovered plans, it is easy to assume that this was the facility where they are going to produce long-range missiles under german license, although it would rather pretend to produce them. due to technological backwardness and exhaustion of ukraine. at most, we can talk about screwdriver assembly of products from components manufactured in germany. when pistorius is asked a direct question, he smirks slightly. are you considering delivering tauruses to us? you asked me whether we are considering this? i tell you, no.

pistorius in general, it was clear that he blew up in kiev, to make sure. so that the use of german missiles on the territory russia should not be left with evidence that would allow the russians. instead of linking the necessary defense capability with a policy of arms control and disarmament, in order to achieve common security and the ability to have mutual peace, coercion is used to build up weapons and prepare for an allegedly inevitable war. we are convinced that the concept of common security

is the only responsible way to prevent war. among the 140 signatories of the document are influential politicians from the sdp. for example, in a recent former head of the parliamentary faction ralf mutsini.

the fact that the russians suddenly called germany the most unfriendly country is almost an honorary title for the fact that we are finally taking ukraine's support into our own hands more boldly. the fact that ukraine is moving to the balance of germany and europe is exactly in line with the goals of the current american administration. nato secretary general ryuta, who faces the very difficult task of holding the next summit of the alliance without a scandal with trump, is practicing analogies, theoretical physics is next in line. we need a quantum leap in our collective defense. we must have more forces to fully implement our plans. the danger will not disappear even when the war in

ukraine ends. so it is better, ruty believes, for the war to continue as long as possible, and it is clear that there has long been no strategy of its own behind this. the sanctions with which europe has killed its well-being. work, the hope for a military victory over russia has been completely dispelled, the coalition of the willing does not want to without the united states. ukraine is winning for them only time, fortunately for them and to the tragedy of ukraine, in kiev there is an absolutely insane character. i am president until the end of this war. what about the time frame? the european allies of the united states are counting on, if they fail to directly drag trump into a conflict with russia, to wait for the moment when the power of the american president will be... this is far from a fact, the new balance of power in congress has been shaken, the republicans have lost their majority in the house of representatives, that is, the kiev regime must hold out for at least another year and a half, and they pretend that they are ready for anything. today i announce that canada will reach

nato's 2% gdp target this year, half a decade ahead of schedule. we already have a commitment, 2.5% gdp on the contrary.

it will not be signed in the hague. another thing is that now is such a time, it is difficult to plan anything in advance.

mikhail antonov, anastasia barkovskaya, gleb napara and andrey putra. vesti nedeli, germany. here the germans distinguished themselves once again in their new spirit of militant russophobia. they ordered our colleague journalist sergei feaktistov, who heads the berlin office of the sputnik news agency, the russian media group. today, to leave the country by july 18. sergei was in moscow for some time when he flew to berlin on july 6 to prepare, without breaking any rules, was first detained at the airport and then sent back to russia. rudely, without explanation. even more rudely, the german secret services behaved with sergei feaktistov's wife tatyana and their eight-year-old daughter. having shown up.

germany by july 18. now it is unclear who these passports are from demand and how can they go to the airport without a passport? germany is behaving in an unprecedentedly harsh manner without any reason. taking away a child's passport is something new and the main thing is that the germans are so excited about it, why are they falling into a war rut so quickly? do they really hope that after the experience of the two world wars they unleashed , the third will really make them happy. our columnist alexander khristenko talks about german politics in a little more detail. on the threshold of an unprecedented escalation, when berlin makes plans to transfer tauruses or german long-range technologies to kiev, state duma speaker vyacheslav volodin tried to initiate a dialogue between the parliaments of the countries

. he sent an appeal to bundestag president julia klöckner, and then, when she responded in the spirit of not intimidating us, he sent another response with detailed explanations. german weapons in the hands of the neo-nazi regime in ukraine, volodin wrote, are in themselves a reason for conflict between our countries, since both berlin and moscow obviously, in the case of the transfer of the tauruses , they will be guided. therefore, answering volodin publicly, through the website of the german parliament, she clearly took the discussion to another level, saying that

the government in kiev is democratically elected, and there is a quote: there is no fascist regime. the speaker of the russian state duma in response cited facts: zelensky is illegitimate, his powers expired long ago. as for the nature of the current neo-nazi regime in ukraine, volodin notes, and what else can you call a government that gathers people under the flags of bandera and shukhevych, that is, those who during the second world war actively collaborated with hitler, on his orders, exterminated millions of jews, poles, russians and representatives of other nationalities in ukraine. as for the terrorist nature of today's regime in ukraine, it is enough to recall the recent crime with the blowing up by the ukrainian special services on the territory of the russian federation of a passenger train in which there were women and children, including infants, i emphasize, exclusively civilians, if this is not a terrorist attack, what do you think is a terrorist attack? the speaker attached to the letter a list of dozens of terrorist attacks, deliberate strikes

by the ukrainian armed forces on civilian targets in russia , and reminded that the primary source of today's ukrainian regime is bloody. seizure of power, which germany condoned during the maidan, namely the frg, together with it poland and france acted as guarantors of the agreement between the government and the opposition, which was immediately forgotten after the coup d'etat, and then they did not notice the terror of kiev against donbass and other rebellious regions. bundestag president klöckner, of course, could not have failed to hear about the public admission of former chancellor merkel that the minsk agreements, in the preparation of which she directly participated, were only a smokescreen to give ukraine a break and prepare for war. this was also confirmed by another participant in the negotiations, former french president hollande. haven't you, dear ms. klöckner, seen these statements, so that russia did not start a war in ukraine in 2022, is using its armed forces to stop her, as well as trying to achieve peace at the negotiating table. now germany is

the second largest supplier of weapons to ukraine after the united states, and an active supporter of the continuation of hostilities. go hand in hand with the deliberate rewriting of history, the walls of the german parliament still have inscriptions in russian, which were left by the soldiers of the red army who took the reichstag, but klöckner, who sits in this building, said the bundestag knows that it is the armed forces of the united states, france, the commonwealth countries and the former soviet army, including many ukrainian soldiers, liberated

germany from nazi tyranny, that is, in this order with such wording. we respect. treat the contribution of the allies to the victory in world war ii, but we must not forget that it was the soviet union that made the decisive contribution to the victory, losing 27 million people in this struggle. it is a shame that you cannot even accurately cite the name of the army that took berlin, calling it the former soviet. in this regard, i have to remind you that it was the red army. it is also a shame that, in favor of momentary political contingency, you particularly highlighted the presence of many ukrainian soldiers in the former soviet army, if we go all the way down this path, then let's also list belarusian, kazakh, georgian, armenian, azerbaijani, uzbek, kyrgyz and other soldiers. after world war ii, the state duma speaker noted, russia and germany did a lot not only to heal the wounds of war, but to build mutually beneficial, friendly relations between peoples. now volodin proposes bundestag head klöckner to ask himself

and give an honest answer: is the current german government seeking new conflicts and will it benefit from this? germany, there is still no answer from berlin. alexander khristenko, andrey netreba, vesti nedeli. on monday, june 9 , the british writer frederick forsyth died. he wrote spy novels, by his own admission, only for the money. writing itself, as a cultural mission, did not appeal to him. a simple narrative style with a twisted plot, that is the secret of his success detective.

it was as a bbc correspondent that he was recruited by the british foreign intelligence service mi6, and then worked undercover for decades. life

as an intrigue, and now the news of the death of frederick forsyth, who was awarded the order of the british empire, second class, by queen elizabeth ii at the end of the last century, is just the reason to return to a cultural phenomenon characteristic of the british. their writers are very often spies at the same time. cooperation with intelligence is a cultural norm for the british elite. if in other countries intelligence is the lot of professionals, then for the british it is a national sport, a prestigious occupation even for bohemians, be they writers or musicians. many were involved, from daniel defoe, the author of robinson crusoe to graham greene, his book the quiet american and our man in havana. what can we say about the author of the james bond bestsellers, ian fleming,

a career intelligence officer, who visited soviet russia twice on the eve of world war ii. john le care also worked as a spy for mi6 after world war ii. real name david john moore cornwell. the same spy novels, but a spy himself. according to him, the school of espionage strengthens both the spirit and the body, and also, i dreamed of such a career, espionage seemed to me an attractive business in our everyday vulgar life. 15 years ago, in a conversation with our london correspondent alexander khabarov, john lukare called espionage the spiritual home of the british political and intellectual elite, although as for the method... i can’t say that i suffered, but i had serious moral doubts about that,

whether the means used are justified. the late forsyth has it easier, he fills everything with humor. about working in prague during the cold war. i spent a lot of time at the british embassy. there were other concerns. at the same time, i met a charming girl. roman flared up, i was 25, i remember, we were lying on the shore of the lake, where we made love, and i told her, it seems that now your g-tails have left me alone, you're wrong, dear, passion told me, i'm watching you from our security service, but if you secret police, - i answered, then of course, no problem, such surveillance suits me, a sexual note often accompanies british spies. perhaps the most promoted film image of agent james bond, in each series a new girl and

not just one, the author of the character, writer ian fleming, also worked for british intelligence, and from his journalistic youth, even in moscow in the canon of the second world war, it was fleming who romanticized intelligence work like no one else, it was his intonation that was picked up.

it is clear that intelligence. moscow and london are constantly fighting to avoid creating a false impression of the omnipotence of the british, let us recall the funny story of the collapse of the british minister of war john provume, early sixties. a relationship with a girl from escort services named christine killer, but she also turned out to be attractive to the assistant to the military attaché of the ussr embassy, russian officer gru, captain of the first rank evgeny. ivanov, they also have a close relationship, as a channel of valuable information. journalists got wind of the triangle

at hearings in parliament. perfume lied that nothing happened to christina keeler. a couple of weeks later, under the weight of irrefutable evidence, he was forced to resign, taking with him the entire cabinet of ministers headed by harald macmillan. yevgeny ivanov returned to moscow, graduated with honors from the general staff academy, and worked as the head of the department at gru. christina keller then somehow even flew to moscow. and there is intelligence in any country in the world, but in england there is a special attitude towards its spies, like nowhere else, there

are even poetically pathetic ones. by the way, also worked for british intelligence in the colonies, and there is such a couplet in his spy march, in the fair game of war, the place of a spy is not here, and then here is the understanding of the romance of the profession, picket go around, whose appearance he took. open, did he become a mosquito or a midge on the river, rubbish that lies everywhere like a rat, running out like a spit among the street tiles, that is your business, spy, in what other country, except england, will you find such poetry. however, let's return to english espionage against russia. for example, they financed lenin. two congresses the leninist party passed in london,

the third fifth, where bolshevism, in fact , took shape. during the years of the first world war, when we and england were allies in the entente, the goal of british intelligence was to keep russia in the war with germany. the elder grigory rasputin, who was close to the royal family, was for a separate peace with germany, and tried to persuade the empress. the british agent in petrograd, oswald rayner, joined the conspiracy of the young anglophile prince, felix yusupov. here is what he told our correspondent in london.
