Iran has been attacking its neighbors with drones and missiles in retaliation against U.S.-Israeli strikes on the country. Gulf states such as the United Arab Emirates have been burning through their air defense stocks in a bid to repel the bombardment. Kallas also warned that rising oil prices because of the war could benefit Moscow. “When the oil price goes up, it actually benefits Russia to fund its war,” she said. Global oil prices have surged to their highest level since July last year following the Washington-led strikes on Tehran. “And that’s why we have to really push through the maritime services ban [so] we can really curtail the shadow fleet, then the…

This is not a routine escalation cycle. It is an effort to change Iran’s strategic trajectory by weakening the regime’s capacity to coerce at home and project power abroad. What do they want Iran to…

Johnson is the star attraction. But the conference is otherwise more of a low-wattage affair, with secondary speakers like recent Romanian presidential candidate George Simion and largely mid-ranking officials from Austria, Belgium, Georgia, Cyprus, Croatia, Serbia and Germany. There are no listed speakers from the Trump administration. A White House spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment. For the Europeans, it’s a chance to bask in the success of a kindred party at the peak of its power — and maybe have a little Trumpian aura rub off on them. “The MAGA movement is extremely important for Romanians, especially…
