Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense
  • At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

  • Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

  • Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

  • A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Biden unlikely to cut Iran's oil lifeline after Israel attack
Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions
  • Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.

  • The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.

  • Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.

  • Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

US actively preparing for significant regional attack by Iran that could come within the next week

Quick Glance: US Alerted to Impending Iranian Attack
  • The US is actively on high alert and preparing for a potential "significant" attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region as a response to Monday's Israeli strike in Damascus that killed high-ranking Iranian commanders. Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is "inevitable" - a sentiment also shared by their Israeli counterparts. Both governments are working diligently to prepare for the anticipated Iranian attack, acknowledging the various possible methods through which the attack could unfold and the potential risks to US and Israeli assets and personnel.

  • A looming Iranian attack was a focal point of discussion during a phone call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. At that moment, the two governments were uncertain about the timing and nature of Iran's retaliation. A direct Iranian strike on Israel is a scenario that the Biden administration is particularly concerned about, as it would lead to a swift escalation of an already volatile situation in the Middle East. Iran had vowed vengeance following Israel's airstrike on the Iranian embassy complex in Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least seven officials.

  • The US promptly informed Iran that the Biden administration was not involved in and had no prior knowledge of the embassy attack, cautioning against targeting American assets. The US considers its own embassies and consulates abroad, as well as foreign embassies and consulates in the US, to be under special protection.

  • On Tuesday, the Pentagon's Deputy Press Secretary, Sabrina Singh, stated that the US assessment pointed to Israel as the perpetrator of the airstrike. Israel has escalated its military operations against Iran and its regional allies following the October 7 attack on Israel by the Tehran-backed Hamas group. Subsequent warfare in Gaza by Israel has resulted in over 32,800 casualties, widespread devastation, and pushed more than a million individuals to the brink of starvation, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
