Russia will restrict imports of most food, seeds, flowers, wood and fertilizer from Armenia starting on Friday, less than a week after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party secured a parliamentary majority in elections seen as a test of Yerevan’s pivot toward the West.
The federal agricultural safety agency Rosselkhoznadzor said the sweeping ban was issued in response to the “systematic detection” of pests in products imported from Armenia since May. It claimed that, in June alone, three separate cases of khapra beetle infestations were discovered in dried food shipments.
“The ban will remain in effect until a specific framework is developed to ensure the safety and traceability of shipped goods,” the agency said in a statement on Thursday, adding to an already long list of Armenian goods recently banned for import to Russia, including produce, flowers, mineral water and alcoholic products.

U.S. forces have completed a new round of strikes inside Iran, according to U.S. Central Command.
Harder! Faster!
The nerve center of Iran’s most powerful military force just went dark.
U.S. forces have struck and destroyed an IRGC command and control center, hitting Iranian surveillance, communications, and air defense sites across Iran in response to the regime’s downing of a U.S.
Still short of a full-scale resumption of hostilities. Iran International: Donald Trump said 49 Tomahawk missiles had been fired at Iran as he oversaw ongoing US military strikes from the Situation Room, according to Fox News. Trump said the strikes also involved fighter jet bombardment, with the closest target around 40 miles from Tehran. Trump said the bombing would stop shortly but warned that if Iran does not sign a deal, the United States would escalate further attacks (Iran). Wall Street Journal: U.S. military forces were striking air defenses and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, a senior U.S. official said. No infrastructure sites were hit, the official said. Iranian state media reported explosions in areas along the Strait of Hormuz, including Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and Sirik, and said its air defenses were engaging with U.S. jet fighters. The Pentagon cast the attacks as an act of coercive diplomacy designed to force Iranian concessions at the negotiating table (Wall Street Journal). Noah Rothman: This is the strait opening operation that has been overdue since mid-April (Rothman).
To those of you who did not trust Trump.
The main office of IRGC has been hit hard.
Many leaders dead.
You are witnessing regime change.

Russia suffered a new night of hell as Ukraine signalled its new advantage in the war. Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces sent FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles on a 1,000 mile mission to massively damage a key Putin military plant in Cheboksary. Amid a night of failures by Russian air defences, another refinery – Novokuibyshevsk – was also blitzed in the Samara region.
Two more oil facilities named Lobkovo and Vtorovo, linked to pumping fuel to Moscow and northwestern Russia, were struck and damaged by Ukrainian drones in the Vladimir region, risking further petrol pump shortages. In a key strike, Ukraine blocked traffic by damaging another bridge connecting the Arabat Spit to the mainland in the Kherson region as part of a bombing campaign that is curtailing Putin’s supply access to the jewel of his Ukrainian invasion – the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which he has held since 2014.

Efforts to secure a broader peace agreement between the United States and Iran have reportedly hit a significant obstacle after Tehran demanded access to $24 billion in frozen assets before negotiations can move forward.
The demand has emerged as one of the biggest sticking points in ongoing talks aimed at formalizing a ceasefire and reducing tensions following months of regional conflict.
According to reports, Iranian officials are insisting that billions of dollars in frozen funds be released as a prerequisite for any meaningful progress in negotiations.

A Sudanese asylum seeker accused of blinding a Belfast man in one eye during a stabbing attack appeared in court Wednesday as anti-immigrant unrest spread across Northern Ireland.
Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered to be held in jail after appearing by video in Belfast Magistrates’ Court, where prosecutors accused him of blinding Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during Monday’s attack.
Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer and possessing a knife. He declined legal representation through an Arabic interpreter and did not enter a plea.
The attack, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday in north Belfast and was captured in graphic video footage that quickly spread online, sparked outrage and fueled demonstrations that turned violent overnight. Police said Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, suffered serious injuries to his face, neck, back and eyes, and officers recovered what they believe was a kitchen knife from the scene.

U.K. surveillance laws drew scrutiny from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio June 5 amid warnings they could expose communications of officials and American citizens, according to reports.
The concern centered on the U.K.’s use of secret Technical Capability Notices under the Investigatory Powers Act, which critics say could make U.S. companies weaken encryption or create “backdoors” weaken encryption or create “backdoors” while preventing firms from disclosing requests without U.K. government approval.
Critics have argued this could undermine privacy, create vulnerabilities and limit congressional oversight with one former intelligence official warning of a “standing invitation to Beijing.”

Here is one of the key extracts from the letter.
This new era for defence required further investment through the defence investment plan. The excellent and extensive cross-government work that completed in January – overseen by you, me and the chancellor – confirmed the scale of the challenge and the rising demands on defence.
Since then, you have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.
This is a double hatchet job. John Healey is criticising Rachel Reeves for being too stubborn to increase defence spending by the amount he wants, and Keir Starmer for being too weak to over-rule her.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran is draining America’s emergency supply of crude oil — which is just days away from hitting its lowest level in more than 40 years, according to a report Wednesday.
Since March, Trump has tapped 66 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep exports flowing and prevent Americans from seeing their price at the pumps reach new heights, Fortune said.
The reserve dipped to a 3-year low of 349.2 million barrels on June 5 and is being depleted at a rate of nearly 9 million barrels a week.

Federal authorities on Wednesday shut down 13 internet domains said to be used by China for operations to obtain classified and sensitive U.S. government information, the Justice Department said.
The internet sites were used by Chinese actors to recruit Americans and others with access to secret information while posing as fraudulent professional consulting services, according to a department statement.
“The fake consulting company domains seized by the FBI illustrate the lengths the Chinese government’s intelligence services will go to as they try to use AI-generated content to trick, recruit, or coerce current and former U.S. security clearance holders into sharing sensitive information,” said Roman Rozhavsky, assistant FBI director for counterintelligence and espionage.
“The FBI and our partners have observed China’s intelligence services resort to using AI, professional networking sites, and online payment platforms to target Americans, and we have taken actions to defend the homeland and our national security.”

Police blasted water cannons Wednesday at protesters in Northern Ireland who set small fires and hurled bricks, rocks and bottles at them during a second night of violence over a brutal stabbing on a Belfast street.
Demonstrators wearing masks tore bricks from the walls outside homes and smashed sidewalks with sledgehammers to toss at riot police. In one place, the unruly crowd used sections of a dismantled picket fence to take cover on the street.
The clashes with police came several hours after a 30-year-old man from Sudan appeared in a Belfast court charged with attempted murder in a stabbing attack that left a man seriously injured and triggered anti-immigrant violence.
