The regime is taking short-term measures to address economic grievances that will likely exacerbate #Iran’s economic crisis in the long run.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir #Abdollahian gave an interview with #CNN on March 1 likely in an attempt to convince the United States to return to the suspended nuclear negotiations.
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin had two telephone conversations with two leaders of conditionally "friendly" countries. Both yesterday's interlocutors of the Russian president are tall and were born in the same year.

I think the projects will go in the same direction as the current rebuild of 90 T-72 tanks or the production of 115 MR-2 systems. That is, the production and coordination of the projects will be done in 🇨🇿#Czechia, while the 🇳🇱#Netherlands will largely finance the projects.

There was uproar in #France when the city of #Strasbourg agreed to pay €2.5m towards the construction of a new #mosque by a radical #Turkish #Islamist organization in 2021. But who is #MilliGorus and what are their aims? A thread by #theHELC 1/10
Millî Görüş ("National Vision") is a religious-political movement that found expression in a series of #Islamist parties culminating in #Erdogan’s AKP. It argues that Turkey can develop as a rival to the West, by protecting its core values and trusting in God 2/10
The beginning of the movement dates to a manifesto published in 1969 by Necmettin #Erbakan, the Islamist politician who later became prime minister. Erbakan called for #PanIslamism and warned against the ‘#Zionist and Catholic project’ of the European Common market 3/10
#Sweden told #Turkey that it cannot fulfil its extradition requests as a quid pro quo for Turkish agreement to Swedish #Nato membership, but arms exports might create some political room for manoeuvre. #thread
#UlfKristersson, Sweden’s prime minister, said that the country will do what it needs to in order to fulfil the tripartite agreement with #Turkey signed last summer. #Sweden is neither able nor willing to fulfil conditions that go beyond the scope of the deal. 1/2
#Turkey has requested the extradition of people living in Sweden. The decision is a matter for the Swedish courts. Other concessions from Ankara are arms deliveries. There is no formal ban on arms exports to Turkey, but in practice there is. 1/3

#BREAKING: According to my sources in #Iran, #MahanAir, an #IRGC affiliated airline, received four ex-#Turkish Airlines Airbus A340-311/313 widebody passenger aircraft via #SouthAfrica.They are TC-JDM, TC-JDN, TC-JIH & TC-JII. #Turkey helps #MahanAir to circumvent #US sanctions.
The four A340-311/313s of #Turkish Airlines which were delivered #MahanAir a few minutes ago are not the only aircraft that the airline has sold to the #US sanctioned & #IRGC affiliated airline. The not only have sold more aircraft but are helping MahanAir to get parts for them.
At-least two of these ex-#TurkishAirlines Airbus A340-311/313s aircraft will be delivered to #SyrianAir & #ConViasa, the #Syria & #Venezuela flag carriers, which currently are using four A340s of #MahanAir for passenger flights and also to carry members of #Hezbollah.

The officer on duty of the border guard station in #Soufli told us on the phone that they have sent a team to the location but could not find the people. In the past, this line was used to cover up #pushbacks. We are worried - where are these people?

Of course, many mass-produced vehicles were built on the MT-LB chassis, such as the 9k35 Strela-10, the 9P149 Shturm-S, or the 2S1 Gvozdika.

Since the beginning of the war in #Donbas, soldiers have been forced to use the MT-LB for tasks other than those for which it was intended. They used it, and still do, for example as an APC. They immediately began to feel the weakness of the vehicle's firepower and armour.

🧵My latest: Turkey's first nuclear plant built and financed by subsidiary of #Russia's Rosatom will be operational in 2023. Under the agreement, Moscow may establish a commercial port in #Turkey with likely national and international security implications

2. The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is located in a highly strategic location, some 200km from Cyprus and #NATO’s Kurecik early-warning radar station as well as near the Syrian border. It bills itself as the “biggest project in the history of #Russian-#Turkish relations"
3. While an original agreement for the construction was signed in 2010 between Akkuyu Nukleer (Rosatom subsidiary) and the Turkish firm IC Ictas, it was later on terminated and a new one was signed in July 2022 for TSM (owned by 3Russia-based firms) to undertake remaining work.
1. I've looked at the documents, noting that the July 5th Accession document does not appear to be online, and I see no argument based the NATO Treaty language that supports a view that the US does not have a @NATO Art 5 obligation to both #Sweden and #Finland. Turkey agreed
2. to a unanimous "invitation" in Barcelona that was the only thing the Treaty requires. It says nothing about ratification. Erdogan & Orban, both allied with the war criminal Putin, have yet to approve the protocols. We should not let these two anti-democratic corrupt autocrats
