GB News: Drivers slapped with £19million in fines from hated Low Emission Zones - 'Punishing motorists'
Scotland's Low Emission Zones have generated over 169,000 penalty notices totaling more than £19 million since their inception. While initial compliance saw a drop in violations, penalties have surged in recent months, with Edinburgh's fines rising from 2,664 in January to 3,401 in May.
Critics argue these zones may not effectively reduce pollution and instead impose financial burdens on drivers unable to afford newer vehicles. Calls for improved public transport options have emerged, as opposition politicians contend that the zones are becoming a tax on struggling motorists rather than genuine environmental solutions.

The Telegraph: Trump has pushed Tehran’s ayatollahs to the brink. The world should thank him
Recent satellite images reveal extensive damage to Iran's nuclear facilities, signaling a significant setback for Tehran's ambitions to become a regional superpower. For over 40 years, Iran has invested heavily in its nuclear program, driven by a desire to export its Islamic agenda across the Middle East.
The destruction of key sites like Natanz and Fordow, which were fortified against attacks, represents a critical blow to the regime's nuclear aspirations. This military action by the Trump administration has left the ayatollahs' plans in disarray, undermining their standing both regionally and globally.
Le Monde: Tehran's allies keep distance from Iran-Israel conflict
Following recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran finds itself isolated, with allies hesitant to escalate tensions. China condemned the attacks and called for a ceasefire, while India's Prime Minister urged for de-escalation.
The US actions are perceived as a violation of international law, raising concerns about aggression against the Global South amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
The Western Journal: Putin Vows Assistance to Iran as Officials Meet in Moscow
Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged support to Iran during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, condemning recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. However, the specifics of Russia's assistance remain unclear, with Iran seeking more substantial backing.

Times Of Israel: Israel said to convey message to Iran it is looking to end war within days
Israel aims to conclude its bombing campaign against Iran following recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Israeli officials hope to leverage these strikes to push Iran towards diplomatic negotiations regarding its nuclear program.

The Telegraph: I’ve been through the Strait of Hormuz many times. Here’s my take
The Iranian parliament has approved a nominal authorization to potentially close the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for global oil shipments. While Iran has significant military capabilities in the region, including mines and fast-attack craft, a full closure is unlikely due to economic repercussions and regional alliances.
However, Iran may escalate its contestation of the Strait, increasing GPS jamming and harassment of vessels, particularly those bound for Western nations. This shift in tactics reflects ongoing tensions and the strategic importance of the Strait to Iran's military posture.
The Epoch Times: ???? How the US Strike on Iran Unfolded

While Qatar maintains stable security, the situation remains tense, with the U.S. on alert for possible retaliatory actions, including cyber attacks from pro-Iranian groups. The U.S. has a significant military presence in the region, complicating the geopolitical landscape.
Front Page Magazine: Regime Change vs. Nation Building
The current situation in Israel is not indicative of World War III, contrary to claims from some online influencers. Israel aims to conclude its operations this week, with President Trump stating no further attacks will occur unless Iran escalates.
While Trump supports the potential fall of Iran's regime, he emphasizes that this does not equate to nation-building. Regime change can occur without the need for rebuilding a nation, a distinction often lost in past political discourse. Skepticism remains about the likelihood of regime change in Iran.
