Gas shortages in Moscow appear to be getting worse, with long lines, rising prices, and growing frustration among local drivers.

In this video, we take a closer look at what is happening on the ground as Moscow residents report crowded gas stations, long waits, empty pumps, and growing uncertainty about fuel availability.

For many drivers, a simple trip to the gas station has turned into a stressful experience. Some people are spending hours in line, while others are worried about running out of fuel before they can even reach the pump.

You will see local footage, real reactions, and everyday drivers describing what the situation looks like from their point of view as the fuel crisis continues to grow.

Watch the video to see how the situation is developing in Moscow, and leave a comment below: have you ever seen gas station lines like this before?

Jack Keane says the United States is applying unprecedented pressure on Iran — and that this strategy could represent a fundamental change in how Washington deals with the Iranian regime.

Speaking about Secretary Scott Bessent’s economic campaign, Keane argues that the objective is no longer simply to force Tehran back to the negotiating table. Instead, the administration appears determined to attack Iran’s ability to generate revenue, move money and sustain the regime itself.

Keane explains why he believes Iran could face extraordinary economic pressure, why another temporary agreement may not be enough, and why President Trump may be unwilling to simply pass the Iran problem to another administration.

The discussion also examines the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s attacks on commercial tankers, Russia’s support for Tehran and Vladimir Putin’s increasingly difficult position in Ukraine.

Keane argues that Russia is facing growing economic and military pressure, while Ukraine continues to strike deep inside Russian territory and improve its ability to defend against Russian attacks. He says the United States and its allies should focus particularly on strengthening Ukraine’s ballistic-missile defenses.

From Iran’s financial lifelines to Russia’s war in Ukraine, Keane describes a rapidly changing strategic environment — and warns that the next phase could be very different from anything seen before.

This video analyzes Jack Keane’s comments and the strategic arguments presented in the interview.

مجتبی واحدی می‌گوید یکی از عوامل مهمی که به تشدید تنش‌ها و در نهایت حمله آمریکا و اسرائیل علیه جمهوری اسلامی انجامید، تهدیدی بوده که به گفته او از سوی عباس عراقچی متوجه «ویتکاف» شده است. به اعتقاد او این نوع پیام‌ها و تهدیدها در فضای پرتنش منطقه، می‌تواند به‌سرعت بهانه‌ای برای افزایش فشارهای نظامی و امنیتی علیه ایران فراهم کند.

او همچنین اشاره می‌کند که در روزهای اخیر بحث بستن تنگه هرمز بسیار مطرح شده، اما بنا بر آنچه گفته می‌شود، سران سپاه اعلام کرده‌اند هدفشان بستن تنگه نیست. بلکه آنها از «اعلام حاکمیت» در این مسیر حیاتی انرژی سخن گفته‌اند؛ مسیری که یکی از مهم‌ترین شریان‌های انتقال نفت در جهان به شمار می‌رود.

به گفته واحدی، همین ابهام‌ها و پیام‌های متناقض درباره تنگه هرمز و سیاست‌های منطقه‌ای، باعث افزایش حساسیت آمریکا و اسرائیل شده است. او معتقد است مجموعه این تحولات، منطقه را وارد مرحله‌ای بسیار حساس و پرریسک کرده که هر تصمیم یا پیام سیاسی می‌تواند پیامدهای گسترده‌ای در سطح بین‌المللی داشته باشد.

Russia wasn't supposed to lose this many bombers

Check out our fall fundraiser here! https://car4ukraine.com/campai....gns/preston-stewart-

So it looks like Ukraine just took out another Tu-95 bomber, on the runway, pretty far inside Russian territory. That would be the second Russian strategic bomber hit by a Ukrainian drone in the past six weeks. Same airfield actually which seems like maybe there’s a little gap in their air defense to say the least.

ترامپ تهدید کرده حملات تازه سپاه به نیروهای آمریکا را با پاسخی سخت جواب خواهد داد؛ سپاه هم می‌گوید اگر دوباره هدف قرار بگیرد، شدید پاسخ می‌دهد.برخلاف برخی پیش‌بینی‌ها که آمریکا جنگ را کنار گذاشته و روی فشار اقتصادی متمرکز شده، نشانه‌ها می‌گوید دو طرف دوباره دارند به سمت یک درگیری می‌روند.سوال این است که درگیری جدید منجر به جنگ می شود یا محدود خواهد ماند؟

Iran’s threat to close the Strait of Hormuz could shake the entire global economy, but this episode explains how the U.S. and Israel moved first to break Iran’s radar, command, and naval mine-laying capability before the maritime battle could fully begin. From electronic warfare and false targets in the skies to the destruction of fast attack boats and mine depots at sea, this is the inside story of how Iran’s pressure card was disrupted before it could be played.

In Iran, death is sometimes a public spectacle. But the gallows are just the beginning. Iran is a country where the state reaches everywhere. The morality police patrol in vans. Women are flogged for showing their hair. Dancing in public is a crime. Some of what you're about to learn is brutal. Some of it is an ancient tradition. All of it is real. These are things that are normal in Iran.

Belarus has now officially crossed the red line, violated the recent agreement with Ukraine, and engaged itself in Russia’s long-range drone campaign, providing relay infrastructure on Belarusian territory to guide Shahed drones in real time. The latest indication came from a jet-powered, camera-guided Shahed strike against the Ukrainian city of Malyn.

Analysis of the drone’s flight path shows it was following and maneuvering closely to the Belarusian-Ukrainian border before turning along a highway toward Korosten and then following a railway line directly to its target. Such precise navigation strongly suggests continuous operator control rather than a simple pre-programmed GPS route. Because the target lay roughly two hundred and sixty kilometers from the Russian border, maintaining direct radio contact from Russia alone would have been technically impossible, as no airborne Russian relay drones were operating in the vicinity.

That leaves ground-based relay stations inside Belarus as the only explanation, as they extend communications range, allowing operators to alter routes in real time to avoid Ukrainian air defenses, evade interceptor drones in modern-style drone dogfights, and adjust onto the target if needed. Without these relay networks, Shahed drones would be limited largely to predetermined waypoints, making them substantially less flexible and easier to intercept.

This development comes after Belarusian President Lukashenko had already received an explicit warning from Kyiv, as President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that Belarus dismantle any infrastructure supporting Russian drone guidance, warning that Ukraine would destroy the network itself if Belarus failed to act. Ukrainian officials subsequently stated that approximately five hundred military-related targets inside Belarus had already been identified should further assistance to Russian operations continue. As a result, Lukashenko caved to the threat and turned the relays off, only to be forced by Russia to go back on his decision now.

Recent Ukrainian deep-strike campaigns against Russia demonstrate that such threats cannot be dismissed lightly, as Ukraine has repeatedly launched massive drone raids involving up to one thousand long-range drones during a single night, at times simultaneously striking Moscow, Crimea, and other distant regions while overwhelming dense Russian air defenses in all of them.

Belarus possesses nothing comparable to Russia’s multilayered defensive network; with its smaller inventory of S-Three-Hundred systems, limited S-Four-Hundred batteries, Buks, Tors, Pantsirs, and aging fighter aircraft, it would face enormous difficulties responding to Ukraine’s large-scale saturation attacks. The country's proximity to northern Ukraine further compresses reaction times, leaving only minutes to detect, classify, and intercept incoming low- and fast-flying drones before they reach critical infrastructure.

At the same time, provoking Ukrainian retaliation against Belarus may actually serve Russia’s broader interests and be part of a larger Russian strategy. Near-assuredly, Belarus's putting the relays back up has come under pressure from Moscow, despite knowing Ukraine’s threats and the risks to Belarus. Russia hopes that if Ukraine is forced to redirect a portion of its long-range strike campaign toward Belarusian military and relay infrastructure, the pressure on Russian territory could decline. Belarus would effectively become a sacrificial lamb, absorbing Ukrainian retaliation while Russia gained valuable time to replenish interceptor stocks and reorganize its air defenses.

However, this strategy may ultimately fail because Ukraine possesses far more options than drone strikes alone. Communications relays, command nodes, and supporting infrastructure inside Belarus do not necessarily need to be destroyed through large-scale aerial attacks. Cyber operations, electronic warfare, sabotage, or special forces insertions behind enemy lines could neutralize these networks without consuming Ukraine’s long-range strike assets, especially as Ukraine is creating a dedicated Cyber Forces branch within the Armed Forces, with specialized research infrastructure for its units.

Such an approach would allow Ukraine to maintain the overwhelming majority of its drone campaign against Russian oil facilities, logistics hubs, and military infrastructure while simultaneously degrading Belarusian support through covert means. Rather than choosing between Russia and Belarus, Ukraine possesses a wide series of complementary instruments capable of operating in parallel, denying Moscow the breathing space it hopes to create by drawing Belarus further into the conflict.
