Apple just opened iOS in Brazil to rival app stores. Look closely and you'll see the same compliance template it built for Europe — and the same complaints waiting to follow.

Trump killed the proposal. Netanyahu sharpened his knives. What's left isn't a diplomatic vacuum — it's a region handed back to the people who wanted it that way.

Moscow's quiet sabotage campaign has gone loud — warnings to Armenia, seabed mapping, joint drills with Iran and China. The West is still calling it grey zone.

Tehran sent its answer through Islamabad on Sunday. Read it as a counter-frame, not a concession — and watch the Strait of Hormuz, not the nuclear file.
