Iran retaliates as Kaja Kallas faces pressure, Starmer hit by new blow

The conflict between the United States and Iran has intensified, with reports indicating that America launched massive strikes against Iran over the past 48 hours. U.S. officials assert that the message is clear: any attack on American forces will be met with a strong response. Washington has vowed to counter threats against U.S. interests.

Meanwhile, European dissatisfaction with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas appears to be growing, with reports suggesting a "harsh decision" is being prepared against her. French President Macron has extended an invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to attend the upcoming G7 summit. Zelenskyy's potential attendance and any related actions have reportedly caused significant turmoil in Europe.

In Russia, recruitment efforts are facing a crisis, with reports of low morale despite significant bonuses offered to soldiers. The country also seems unable to counter Ukrainian drone offensives effectively. In France, a presidential candidate has called for chemical castration following a brutal child murder, highlighting a severe societal issue.

Further diplomatic movements include preparations for new consultations between Moscow and Washington. Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, suggested a potential in-person meeting in June with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, an advisor to former U.S. President Donald Trump. This comes as France and Germany reportedly plan a radical reform of the European Union's foreign policy system, driven by growing dissatisfaction with the EU's diplomatic operations amidst ongoing geopolitical crises.
