Ukraine’s President  Volodymyr Zelensky  accused Russia of assisting the Iranian regime on Saturday after Iran threatened Ukraine with potential missile attacks in response to an attack on a ship in the Caspian Sea.

(photo credit: REUTERS/STRINGER) Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said Iran sold $11.5 billion worth of oil during the war and a further $6.5 billion during a ceasefire, when lower risks to tanker traffic helped increase exports and enabled the sale of part of around 100 million barrels of stored crude oil and gas condensate. The sales generated more than 60% of the oil revenue forecast in  Iran's  annual budget, Paknejad said. Previously,  The Wall Street Journal  estimated that Iran exported roughly 70 million barrels of oil worth an estimated $5 billion to $6 billion during the month-long suspension of the US blockade, rapidly rebuilding a financial buffer before restrictions returned.

International Olympic Committee Faces Backlash For President Trump Investigation Ruling

President Trump, 80, urged FIFA to review and potentially change the red card suspension given to U.S. star Folarin Balogun. The suspension was ultimately put on hold, as Balogun was able to play in the Round of 16 game vs. Belgium. The U.S. fell to Belgium, 4-1. All I did was ask for a review. I didn't say, you have to do this," Trump said. "This man is a smart, tough man, Gianni Infantino. He's a smart, tough man, and his stock has gone through the roof because the job he has done has been great. I feel like we have to have all the best players on the field."  But many were not happy.

With a demonstrated willingness to target key maritime assets using ballistic  missiles , drones, cruise missiles, anti-ship munitions, explosive boats, and potentially underwater threats and commando capabilities, the center warned that the threat must be taken seriously, even though Israel has proven defensive capabilities against each individual threat.

(photo credit: U.S. Central Command/Handout via REUTERS) Iran will halt its own attacks as long as the United States maintains its pause on strikes, but Tehran remains skeptical of US intentions, a senior Iranian source told  Reuters  on Sunday. "Iran’s position remains ‘attack for attack’: if the attacks stop,  Iran  will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States," the source told  Reuters , a day after Washington halted attacks following 13 successive nights of air strikes. "There is more skepticism than optimism about the halt in attacks. The prevailing view is that the pause is tactical rather than genuine," the source added.
