He tenido la suerte de entrevistar a Antony Beevor por la publicación de «Rasputín y la caída de los Románov» (@Ed_Critica) ; fue una interesante charla sobre cómo las fake news y otras lacras que nos parecen muy actuales ya eran una amenaza hace un siglo https://t.co/7aEhSR7whl
The moment President Trump signs the Iran deal at the Palace of Versailles.
The agreement was finalized during a dinner hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron inside the historic palace.
The signing marked a major diplomatic milestone after months of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
The key paragraph of the US-Iran MoU about the Strait of Hormuz (as read it to the press by a senior American official):
“5-Upon the signing of this MoU, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.”
Tensions at key maritime chokepoints—from the Strait of Hormuz to the Black and Red seas—are straining U.S. naval capacity and exposing deeper structural shifts in global trade and geopolitics. Peter Dombrowski and Bruce Jones on the limits of American sea power 👇 https://t.co/3opTQM8J3N

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.
A war that began with the U.S. president’s promise to help the Iranian people following the brutal suppression of the January 2026 protests may end with a handshake between his vice president and the man who commanded Iran’s internal security forces.
BREAKING: Royal Marines, with support of personnel from the National Crime Agency, have boarded a sanctioned Russian oil tanker in the English Channel for the first time.
The vessel, the Smyrtos, was seized during a six-hour military operation which involved aircraft from the Maritime Air Group (Chinooks, Merlin Mk4 and Wildcat), an RAF P-8 aircraft, as well as frigate HMS Sutherland and minehunter HMS Ledbury.
The boarding comes days after Sir Keir Starmer had two of his defence minister resign over failures to deliver the defence investment plan and almost three months since the Prime Minister authorised the military to seize sanctioned tankers that are part of Putin’s shadow fleet.
Hundreds of Russian vessels belonging to the fleet have passed through the Channel unchallenged since March.
Afghan Air Force captain Abdul Ahad Momand became the first (and so far only) Afghan cosmonaut in history.
In 1988, he flew to the Mir space station aboard the Soviet Soyuz TM-6 mission. During the flight, he carried the Afghan national flag and a copy of the Quran, and took detailed photographs of Afghanistan from orbit. These images later helped Afghan scientists create the country’s first detailed cartographic atlas.
After the mission, Abdul Ahad Momand was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
