(photo credit: Amir Levy/Getty Images) Highly trained air force, operations, and legal military officials are involved in IDF targeting decisions, despite claims by the NAZA film that the military has given over its discretion to artificial intelligence (AI), The Jerusalem Post has learned. There is significant frustration from the high levels of the IDF, some of which was made public in a speech by IDF Chief Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Efi Deffrin, that the NAZA movie was not shared with the military in parallel to its being shown and reported on to the world in order to give the military a fair chance to respond to specific allegations. It is not that top IDF officials do not know about collateral harm to Gazan civilians. They do, and they view it as a tragic aspect of war, wo...

The WSJ reported that Washington has drawn a direct line between the Chinese-sourced imagery and the July 17 strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, but did not confirm direct involvement from the Chinese government.  The officials told the WSJ that Iran acquired the images both ahead of and following the assault, though they would not name the Chinese firms involved and stopped short of accusing Beijing's government of direct involvement.

(photo credit: Ozan KOSE / AFP via Getty Images) Iranian workers are going on strike as inflation rises to 128% and the fuel crisis worsens living conditions across the country. Iranian civilians are struggling to pay for fuel and other essentials as the Rial plunged to 2.3 million per one US dollar and the economic impact of war takes hold, according to a Thursday Wall Street Journal report. The economic fallout from the war and the US's naval blockade on Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz is driving up the price of goods for Iranians, many of whom earn roughly $250 a month, according to a study by Euronews . On Monday, the Iranian regime doubled the price of gasoline for users surpassing 110 liters per month. The increases targeted passenger vehicles exceeding their allocated quotas following Tehran’s slashing of monthly subsidies. The shrinking gas sup...

Trump may be BRICS’s best recruitment agent

-
Image
  United States President Donald Trump has made no secret of his hostility towards BRICS. Last year, he threatened an additional 10 percent tariff on any country aligning itself with what he called the bloc’s “anti-American policies”. Since then, his administration has continued to wield tariffs aggressively against trading partners, including BRICS members such as Brazil, India and China. The message appears straightforward: Countries that challenge US economic power should expect to pay a price. But coercion has consequences. And as BRICS leaders meet in New Delhi today, Trump may be strengthening the very incentives that made the bloc attractive in the first place. The more Washington demonstrates its willingness to use access to its markets, its financial system and the dollar as instruments of political leverage, the more reason other countries have to reduce their exposure to them. This does not mean BRICS is becoming an anti-US alliance. Far from it. The bloc’s 11 members –...
