American Senator: Trump plans new sanctions against Russia
Washington - Saba:
American Senator Lindsey Graham announced that President Donald Trump believes "the time has come to pass a bill imposing new sanctions against Russia."
Graham claimed that the U.S. Senate "will begin discussing the new sanctions bill against Russia in July."
During an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Graham commented on Trump's stance regarding the sanctions bill, saying: "Yesterday was the first time the president [Trump] told me, while we were playing golf, that the time has come to move forward with passing a bill on new sanctions against Russia."
The U.S. senator further explained the legislative plans, stating: "The day after the July recess ends (starting July 7), we [the U.S. Senate] intend to move forward with discussing the bill."
Meanwhile, leaders of the 27 EU member states, meeting at the Brussels summit on June 26, agreed to extend sanctions against Russia for an additional six months, according to Western news agency reports citing diplomatic sources.
The agency's report stated: "The leaders of the 27 EU member states, gathered at the Brussels summit, agreed to extend sanctions against Russia for another six months."
Moscow has repeatedly emphasized its ability to adapt to the pressures caused by Western sanctions, which have been imposed and tightened over several years. Russian officials have stated that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of its sanctions policy against Russia. Some voices within Western countries have also questioned the effectiveness of these measures.
It is worth noting that the West has escalated its punitive measures against Russia over the Ukraine crisis, leading to rising electricity, fuel, food prices in Europe and the United States.

Washington revokes visas of British band over Pro-Palestine Stance
Washington – Saba: The U.S. State Department announced on Monday the cancellation of entry visas for members of the British band "Pulp Fiction" after they chanted pro-Palestine slogans, including "Free Palestine" and "Death to the Israeli army," during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival last Saturday. On X (formerly Twitter), U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau criticized the band members in a post on Monday, condemning their chants during the UK festival. Landau claimed that "foreigners who incite violence and hatred are not welcome in our country," adding that the State Department had revoked the band's visas. "Pulp Fiction" was scheduled to perform in around 20 U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C., as part of their American tour. The renowned Glastonbury Festival in Britain witnessed anti-Israel chants during the band's performance. During their show on Saturday, June 28, band members shouted slogans such as "Freedom for Palestine" and "Death to the Israeli army," with the audience joining in. As one of Britain's most prominent punk-rap bands, their performance echoed with pro-Palestine chants across the festival, one of the largest music events in the world. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023. As of Monday, the death toll has reached 56,531 Palestinians, mostly women and children, with 133,642 others injured—figures that remain non-final, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets, unreachable by rescue teams.

Tehran After American Aggression: What About investing in current moment?
Sana'a - Saba: The American aggression against Iran on Sunday marks a dangerous turning point in the trajectory of regional developments, particularly in the conflict with the Israeli enemy. This aggression has placed Iran in an existential battle—one that demands a strategic reassessment of events, going beyond previous approaches. Iran must enhance its ability to seize current opportunities and effectively utilize both defensive and offensive capabilities. Among the most critical opportunities is exploiting the exhaustion and weakness of the Israeli enemy, particularly in terms of air defenses. This involves continuing and intensifying aerial attacks while focusing on high-value targets that undermine the enemy's military presence. The precision of Iranian missiles must be leveraged to drain the enemy's strategic capabilities, increasing the success rate of hitting key military objectives. Sustained attacks, under this vision, will lead to a significant decline in the enemy's air defense capabilities, escalating fears not only for the Zionist entity but also for Washington. It goes without saying that with each wave of Iranian missile strikes, Israel's air defense systems degrade further, tilting the battle in Tehran's favor. However, Iran must capitalize on this advantage wisely. American sources report that the Zionist entity is losing an estimated one billion dollars daily—the cost of its multi-layered air defense missiles. These same sources indicate that its stockpile of such missiles is nearly depleted, meaning the coming days will be increasingly favorable for Iran. Tehran must exploit this by carefully studying enemy targets within the occupied territories, maximizing strike accuracy, and ultimately rendering the enemy incapable of interception. This would leave its airspace vulnerable, further diminishing its defensive strength. Washington undoubtedly recognizes this and will not allow the entity to face defeat, as its collapse would mean the erosion of its fabricated existence. While the U.S. will provide support, continued Iranian missile strikes will inflict successive waves of exhaustion, regardless of the enemy's resilience or external backing. Over the past ten days, Iranian attacks have forced the Zionist entity into a defensive posture, reeling under relentless morning and evening missile strikes that have disrupted its offensive capabilities. Even more critically, these strikes have destabilized its domestic front, leaving settlers in a state of terror and compounding daily losses—not just for the entity's regime but for each individual settler. As attacks persist, the enemy's losses will mount, its relationship with settlers will deteriorate, and the constant threat of missiles will shatter any semblance of stability, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability. In the wake of the American aggression, the Israeli enemy will seek to exploit the moment by escalating attacks inside Iran. The only way to counter this is by uncovering spies, particularly those behind assassination drones. Conversely, Tehran must double down on strikes against the Zionist entity, denying it any opportunity to capitalize on the post-aggression period. Iran must turn this moment to its advantage—a reality it must fully grasp and act upon. Maintaining an unwavering offensive strategy is essential to breaking the enemy's strength. This is now an existential battle, and the options are purely offensive. The enemy will not relent, so Tehran must seize the moment, secure victory, and adopt a strategic vision that surpasses its pre-aggression stance. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Reports)
