Police in Sweden have seized a false-flagged cargo ship reportedly belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet.

It is suspected of transporting stolen Ukrainian grain.

Donald Trump refuses to rule out deploying ground troops in Iran US president leaves open the possibility while ruling out having Kurdish forces in Iraq mount an invasion * US-Israel war on Iran – follow live Donald Trump on Saturday left open the possibility of sending US troops into Iran in certain circumstances and suggested they would win a ground war, while at the same time ruling out the possibility of having Kurdish forces in Iraq mount an invasion to take control of Tehran. “I don’t think it’s an appropriate question,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level.” Continue reading...
