Putin's secret space war? Inside Russia’s terrifying plot to blind the west and Ukraine

Is Russia testing a potential anti-satellite capability by manoeuvring its spacecraft dangerously close to Western satellites? Russia’s Cosmos 2612 reportedly approached ICEYE’s X36 satellite to within around one kilometre in mid-October, raising concerns over Moscow’s activities in orbit. The Finnish-operated ICEYE system provides radar imagery to Western governments and Ukraine, making it an important source of battlefield intelligence for Kyiv. U.S. officials have warned that Russian satellite manoeuvres could be linked to tests of space-based weapons, while one analyst described the encounter as a possible rehearsal for an attack. Now, two Russian satellites are reportedly approaching another ICEYE spacecraft, X37. Could commercial satellites supporting Ukraine be increasingly exposed to threats in space?

Iodine pills and fallout warnings: is Iran preparing for a nuclear strike on Pickaxe mountain?

Is Iran preparing its population for the possibility of a U.S. strike on its nuclear facilities, as concerns grow over the heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain complex? According to ‘The Times of London’, iodine tablets are reportedly being distributed in villages near Iranian nuclear sites, while television broadcasts have simulated nuclear emergencies and warned residents about radioactive fallout. Authorities have also issued instructions urging people to take shelter and remain indoors during a potential radiological incident. Pickaxe Mountain, believed to conceal an underground nuclear facility buried deep beneath the surface, has emerged as a possible target in Trump’s threats against Tehran. Tucker Carlson has separately claimed that pressure from Netanyahu could push Washington towards considering a nuclear strike, although no such U.S. decision has been confirmed. Could this become a dangerous new chapter in the Iran confrontation?
