According to webangah News Agency, the U.S. signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Armenia in January covering economic, defense, and security collaboration. This followed Washington’s proclamation of $65 million in aid to Armenia-a 50% increase over the previous two years’ allocations.
The European Commission separately pledged €270 million in assistance over four years.
This sudden Western shift toward Armenia in the Caucasus warrants scrutiny. Recent U.S. moves indicate support for Turkish projects in Central Asia and the Caucasus, aiming to counter Russian influence while encircling iran-and ultimately China-through participation in India’s Indo-Pacific initiatives. Azerbaijan serves as a linchpin for this transnational corridor stretching from china to the Red Sea, yet Washington’s latest Armenian overtures suggest alignment with American interests.
U.S. strategy appears largely based on pre-2018 successes across Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. However,Georgia’s unexpected political shift in late 2024 saw the Georgian Dream party secure parliamentary dominance and Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze delay EU accession talks until 2028-prompting sharp U.S.-EU reactions including suspended strategic cooperation warnings.
These developments accelerated Western engagement with landlocked Armenia despite it’s geographic constraints between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Georgia-potentially undermining Turkey’s NATO standing through secondary effects.
Washington overlooked historical Azeri-Armenian enmity when deepening Yerevan-West ties-a factor that contributed to Russia and Iran withdrawing support during recent conflicts while pushing Baku toward Moscow-Tehran alignment as evidenced by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf’s February 20 meeting with Azerbaijani counterparts during Asian Parliamentary Assembly sessions where both emphasized trilateral economic-energy cooperation amid shifting regional dynamics.
Azerbaijan historically balanced relations between Iran and Turkey while resisting full subordination under Ankara despite ethnic affinities due partly to Ottoman-era violence against Azeri Shias under Selim I involving 40‚000 casualties which informs contemporary wariness despite cultural ties today .
A critical question emerges: Does Washington seek disruption rather than coordination regarding Turkish Eurasian projects? While viewing Ankara’s initiatives as extensions facilitating broader American maneuverability , divergent approaches on Syrian Kurdish autonomy versus Israeli-backed “david’s Passage” connectivity plans reveal basic contradictions particularly concerning Aleppo-Mosul territorial claims .
The West’s Armenian gambit may aim at restraining Erdogan within strictly instrumental parameters even as he pursues independent great-power aspirations -an approach risking diminished Western leverage across Central Asia given apparent bets on Indian partnership over Turkish collaboration for containing China-Russia though New Delhi maintains parallel Moscow-Tehran ties complicating full alignment beyond shared Sino-containment objectives currently ignored by White House strategists focused narrowly on Beijing containment via Indo-Zionist corridor convergence points through occupied territories notwithstanding India’ s diversified hedging strategies .
According to webangah News Agency, Hebrew-language newspaper Haaretz cited an informed source reporting that U.S.President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their conversation to avoid public statements about attacking Iran.
The source added that Netanyahu attempted to convince Trump to halt nuclear negotiations with Iran.
The insider stated that Trump clarified to Netanyahu he would never permit an attack on Iran in the near future.
These developments follow recent threats by the Israeli regime against Iran, coinciding with an acknowledgment by Zionist newspaper Makor Rishon that any Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be highly challenging.
The report emphasized that aerial assaults by Israel against Iran would prove complex and ineffective in fully halting uranium enrichment activities.
It further noted that Iran has demonstrated its capability to directly target occupied territories,with recent operations inflicting damage on strategic israeli infrastructure.
The newspaper concluded that Iran retains the capacity to inflict important harm during any potential confrontation with Israel.
According to webangah News Agency,NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has urged member states of the U.S.-lead military alliance to increase missile and air defense capabilities by 400%, citing growing military gaps and threats from Russia and China.
Stoltenberg warned about Russia’s accelerated rearmament outpacing NATO’s ammunition production, stating: “Russia produces in three months what the entire NATO alliance manufactures in one year.”
The NATO chief outlined a new target to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, describing plans for a “stronger, fairer, and more lethal” alliance. He specified that 3.5% would fund core military requirements while the remainder would strengthen infrastructure and industrial capacity.
“The critical gap in our alliance isn’t investment but production,” Stoltenberg emphasized. “Across NATO nations,we’re simply not producing enough ammunition. We must increase both defense investment and output.”
He cautioned that current production delays mean some advanced air defense systems ordered today wouldn’t be delivered for up to a decade – a timeline he called “unacceptable.”
Reiterating NATO’s defensive posture, Stoltenberg warned: “Any attempt to attack us would bring devastating consequences for the aggressor. We remain deadly serious about this response – whether from Russia or any other nation.”
The Secretary General framed potential Russian aggression as justification for increased military spending: ”Russia appears prepared to attack NATO within five years. We expect members this month to approve raising military expenditures to 5% of GDP.”
webangah News Agency – Channel 13, a television network of the Zionist regime, reported that a rocket was launched from northern Gaza toward the occupied area of Zikim near the coastal strip.
The attack triggered warning sirens across Zikim in the occupied territories.
The Zionist regime’s military claimed to have intercepted the rocket.
Palestinian resistance factions continue their missile attacks against the Zionist regime more than 20 months after its initial aggression on Gaza began.
According to webangah News agency, citing a report by Quds Network from the Israeli magazine The Times of Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has sent official letters to French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In these letters,he condemned the October 7 operation by resistance groups as “unacceptable.”
Abbas demanded that Hamas release all Israeli captives in its custody.
He also called for deploying Arab and international forces in Gaza under UN Security Council authority to maintain security and stability in the region.
The letters were sent days before an international conference on a two-state solution, scheduled in New York, where Macron and bin Salman serve as co-chairs.
Abbas has previously made inflammatory remarks against resistance factions including Hamas, sparking regional backlash.
webangah News Agency reports that the Palestinian news outlet Shehab, citing the Zionist newspaper Maariv, has disclosed an unprecedented exodus of 718,000 Zionists from the occupied territories-a 28% increase compared to last year.
The report states that despite rising flight ticket prices due to cancellations by foreign airlines-prompted by ongoing missile threats from YemenS armed forces against the occupied territories-residents are leaving via domestic carriers.
The Zionist newspaper also highlighted the collapse of the tourism industry in the occupied territories, noting a 69% drop in visitors during 2024 compared to the previous year.
According to webangah News Agency,Ukrainian parliament member Ruslan Gorobenko stated that more then 100,000 of the country’s soldiers have abandoned their military units without authorization and deserted service.
“These figures are alarmingly high,” he added.
In January 2025, Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Ukraine’s armed forces totaled 880,000 personnel.Though, opposition MP Oleksandr Dobensky disclosed the actual number was just 280,000.
Zelensky signed a law in november 2024 allowing deserters to return to duty while retaining all financial and social benefits.
According to a report by webangah News Agency, Syrian journalist Atta farhat stated that the Zionist regime began its ground incursion into Syria’s borders last December, targeting areas in Quneitra province and the outskirts of Daraa.
Farhat reported that as of yesterday, nearly 10 military outposts had been established by Zionist forces across Jabal al-Sheikh heights to southern Daraa suburbs.
The journalist added that the regime plans to construct a major military base in Jubata al-Khashab village within the buffer zone near an area covered by the 1974 agreement. Satellite imagery shows extensive land clearance in Al-Harsh region for what appears to be an exceptionally large military installation.
Currently, over 400 kilometers of southern Syrian territory remains under occupation by the Zionist regime.
