Albania on alert after US warning as Bulgaria confirms Iran diplomatic note
"After the United States Embassy in Albania warned that Iran-linked groups could target
Americans and US-affiliated entities in the Western Balkan country, authorities in Tirana stated that security institutions are on high alert, with all mechanisms “active and functional”.
In a statement issued Albanian President Bajram Begaj's office said he was in daily contact with the National Security Council and is being continuously briefed on all potential threats.
The response follows a warning from the US embassy that Tehran-backed groups may target not only US-related entities but also members of the Iranian opposition based in Albania.
At the same time, developments in Bulgaria point to broader regional tensions.
Authorities in Sofia have confirmed that Iran sent a diplomatic note last month warning the NATO member against allowing US military aircraft to use its airports for operations targeting Iran. The warning came after reports of US military planes being spotted in the capital." msn

Hormuz Chokepoint: Saudi Oil Flows Across the Desert After Blockade
"After the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia is pumping oil across the desert—
rewriting the global energy map.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz—a critical artery of the global energy system through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows—has set off a chain reaction that is already reshaping global oil logistics. In response, Saudi Arabia has swiftly reconfigured its export architecture, activating the strategic East–West pipeline that runs across the desert to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.
This is more than a stopgap measure. It signals deeper structural shifts in the global energy system. Yet alternative routes can only offset part of the disrupted volumes, leaving the market tighter and amplifying systemic tensions." Ukrin
