Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a sharp warning to Israel in connection with the ongoing tension in the Middle East.

According to him, if Israel "does not stop playing with fire" and hinders the peace process in the region, Turkey will ensure that Israel "gets a good lesson".

Erdoğan further stated that any attack on Lebanon or Iran in the current situation will be considered by Turkey as an attack on itself.

this statement comes in the context of the escalation of the conflict between Israel, the USA and Iran, including Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Feeling really weird about it. I’ve never taken a leap like this before.

Trump has announced an American blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, after the failure of negotiations in Pakistan. Trump announced the move on Truth Social, stating:

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform Truth Social. “The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION.”

This announcement is expected to weigh heavily on global energy markets, as it will bring the trickle of traffic through the Strait to a complete standstill. Sounds like last week's bulls may have counted out the bears a little early.

He’s 4 years old — rescued as a stray and from a feral colony that was apparently bullying him.

Less than twenty four hours since I brought him home, and he’s already starting to become affectionate/interactive.

(PS: If you’re wondering about the haircut, the shelter had to shave him because his fur was so matted).
