By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Trump says Ukraine needs a new president who will strike a deal. Zelenskyy answers that only Ukrainians choose their leader. He offers a concrete condition: sixty days of full ceasefire, then elections. The oil-price blame is rejected as easier talk than stopping Putin. That exchange is the current pressure […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – A Congressional Research Service report now puts a number on the cost of the Iran operations. Eighty-one aircraft lost or damaged between March and September. Forty-five of them are MQ-9 Reapers. One F-35A absorbed a medium-range surface-to-air missile and returned with multiple points of airframe damage. That is the […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Two claims landed on the same day. Yemeni government forces say they have retaken the Red Sea port of Mocha. They also say they hold the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis say the fight for the strait continues. At the same moment Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey activated a […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Kyiv is being turned into an island by design. The Russian Foreign Ministry has told foreign citizens and diplomats to leave and accept the consequences. Drones have already struck the northern and southern bridges. Cross-river traffic is severely disrupted. Some Western embassies remain. The winter test is no longer […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Kyiv faces a simple arithmetic problem as temperatures drop. The air-defence network needs interceptors that are not arriving. Large aid packages have been announced. The specific rounds that keep energy sites alive have not. That mismatch is the immediate risk. The European Union approved 28.3 billion euros. The United […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – The first combat use of a Ukrainian-built tactical ballistic missile lands at a moment when every capital in Europe is quietly recalculating risk. Range figures and payload numbers matter less than the fact that a private firm delivered hardware that crossed the threshold from test pad to battlefield under […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Twenty-three years after the invasion, the last American troops are leaving Iraq. On 30 September President Trump posted the news on Truth Social. He said he was glad to announce the final units were withdrawing. The Pentagon followed with its own statement. Coalition forces and equipment left Erbil Air […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – The war is seven months old. Neither capital has closed the door to more fighting. Neither has closed the door to talks. President Trump expects negotiations next week and keeps the option of renewed strikes on the table. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran is fully prepared for […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Oil is already moving. Talks are under way. The strait remains the lever. A U.S. official confirmed active discussions with Iran on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The American side is in no rush. Nearly forty million barrels passed under U.S. escort in the past forty-eight hours. The disclosure […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – The invitation is already issued. Dates remain open. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko put the fact on record. Kim Jong Un is welcome. The calendar will be set through diplomatic channels. The 2024 treaty supplies the new floor. Rudenko spoke to TASS on 24 September. He said the […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Argentina still wants the islands. Britain still holds them. President Javier Milei just put both facts on the UN floor and added a new lever. The language is peaceful. The tools are not only diplomatic. Milei spoke on 23 September 2026 at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in […]
By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – The United States is no longer returning people to their own countries. It is buying landing spots. Cash moves one way. Deportees move the other. Courts call parts of it illegal. The flights keep leaving. Multiple outlets published joint investigations on 21 September 2026. They map a third-country removal […]
