Kenya Meat Exporters Face Massive $7.3 Mln Losses Amid Iran-Israel Conflict

Over 200 tonnes of beef and goat meat destined for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait are currently stranded in cold storage facilities across the country.

👉 Logistics have worsened as flight cancellations and diversions force aircraft back to Kenya, while limited cargo capacity has significantly inflated freight charges, Nicholus Ngahu, CEO of the Kenya Meat and Livestock Exporters Industry Council, said.

Jaware JM, CEO of the Tripple the Impact Centre of Governance and Public Engagement, said if the conflict continues, Kenya could suffer significant economic consequences.

"We are likely to see a ripple effect across several sectors of the economy if the war persists," Jaware told Sputnik Africa.

Multilateral Order Is Unraveling: Analyst

Recent strikes involving the US and Israel in Iran highlight the weakening of the global multilateral system, Rashid Abdi, researcher and analyst on the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, told Sputnik Africa.

While the actions may have political justifications for those involved, he noted they are difficult to defend from an international law perspective.

👉 Diplomacy between the parties was not given enough time, Abdi said, stressing that the focus should now shift toward de-escalation and renewed negotiations. Stability in the Middle East is closely tied to Africa’s stability, as Iran remains a major regional power, he noted.

According to the analyst, the crisis underscores a broader challenge for the international community: preventing powerful states from bypassing the UN Charter.

"The UN system, you know, ultimately is the only tool we have to stabilize the world, he said, adding that cooperation among multiple global and regional actors will be necessary to restore dialogue and reduce tensions.

🇺🇸❌ US tries to evade responsibility for girls' school massacre with blatant lies - expert

American claims that Iran is to blame for the strike on girls’ school in Tehran indicates clear political confusion in the face of Iran's unexpected resilience and the failure of the US military strategy, professor of public international law Dr. Mohammed Mehran tells Sputnik.

👉 Numerous facts — reports, satellite images, testimonies — show the strike was conducted either by US Tomahawk missiles or Israeli laser-guided bombs, he says, adding that with such accurate weapons the attack cannot be "accidental."

Current US statements about Iran being to blame are psychological warfare, and America has used similar tactics before — in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, where civilian deaths were explained away by "intelligence errors," the expert reminds.

The US is in a deadlock — it failed to achieve the original military objectives of collapsing the Iranian political system, and now is faced with growing internal criticism, Mehran concluded, which might push the US towards even more dangerous moves.

Dollar is No Longer Needed: Belarus' President

Aleksandr Lukashenko received a briefing by Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov on his visits to Togo and Ghana.

🇴🇲 The president highlighted Oman as a good example of long-standing trade connections in East Africa that offer opportunities for cooperation and investment, especially amid the reduced reliance on the dollar.

🌍 Africa is the future, Lukashenko noted.

"We must remember that we are not an empire, we are not Americans, and that we will cover the entire continent. We must have strongholds from which to operate in the countries that interest us. This is the main thing," the president explained.

'Western Security Umbrella Is Collapsing Under Its Own Weight': Turkish Political Analyst

🗣 US military bases in the Middle East are constantly coming under attack and offer no effective protection to the countries hosting them, Umur Tugay Yücel told Sputnik.

🟠 Reports indicate that THAAD and Patriot air defense systems are being withdrawn from South Korea, with similar developments potentially imminent in Japan and other US allies in the Asia-Pacific, he added.

"American bases cause more harm than good to the civilian populations and infrastructure of their host countries," Yücel emphasized, adding that they pose a serious threat to nearby communities.

🇺🇸 The US system keeps inventing new slogans: "Make America Great," "Make Venezuela Great," and "Make Iran Great"—with no guarantee that this pursuit of greatness will not extend to Cuba, Greenland, or Canada, he noted.

"We are at a stage where American supremacy, moral principles, and soft power influence have completely dissolved, and brute force is producing total uncertainty," the speaker said.

Kenya's State House Budget Doubles to $132 Mln for 2025/26 Financial Year, Surpassing White House Costs

The budget effectively doubled after supplementary allocations of about $65 million approved mid-year.

By January, State House had already spent $80.5 million, exceeding its recurrent budget by roughly $21 million in the first seven months. The funds cover:

🟠Presidential travel;
🟠Hospitality;
🟠Official functions;
🟠Maintenance of residences and vehicles.

👉 The allocation has drawn attention because it surpasses the estimated operating costs of the White House in the United States, which typically range from $50 million to $100 million annually.

🌐 Globally, Kenya’s budget now ranks among the highest for executive residences, comparable to France’s Élysée Palace at about $139 million and Uganda’s State House at around $132 million.

📹 In an interview with Sputnik Africa, political analyst and Bungoma senatorial aspirant Alex Wanzala called the increase a misplaced priority. Watch the video to hear his full opinion.

Built to Protect or to Be Protected? Egyptian Analyst Questions Purpose of US Bases in Gulf

🔊 The presence of these installations has become a "great scourge" for Gulf nations, Mokhtar Ghobashi, Secretary-General of the Al-Farabi Center for Political and Strategic Studies, told Sputnik.

Without them, these countries would not be exposed to the risk of becoming targets; the bases, he added, are seen as instruments in the hands of the US and Israel.

According to the expert:

🟠 US air defense systems in Qatar remained inactive when Israeli strikes targeted Hamas leaders on Qatari soil;
🟠 those same systems were placed on full combat alert to intercept Iranian missiles and drones aimed at American facilities.

🇺🇸👉 American bases in the region exist for blackmail, resource exhaustion, and pressure on the sovereign decisions of host countries, Ghobashi stressed, calling for a comprehensive strategic reassessment of the foreign military presence and its consequences for regional stability.

Replacing US Radars by Iran Could Cost More Than $1 Billion & Take Years

According to calculations cited by the media,

▪️It could take Raytheon five to eight years to build a new AN/FPS-132 radar.
▪️Lockheed Martin would need at least 12–24 months and about $50–75 million to replace the AN/TPS-59.

❗️The process is complicated by supply chains, as about 98% of the gallium used in these systems comes from China, media noted.

Iran Just Proved US 'Security Umbrella' in the Gulf is Sham: Expert

“It was under this illusion that a large number of Gulf countries agreed not only to buy expensive US weapon platforms but also to host its military bases in the region,“ Rtd Colonel Rajeev Agarwal told Sputnik. “This war is a lesson not only for the Gulf countries but also for any other nation wanting to secure its national security exclusively through external players. And the lesson is ‘National security cannot be bought‘.“

🔊 US and Israeli claims of depleted Iranian arsenals are just military propaganda - expert

American officials claim Iran’s arsenal is dwindling and launchers are running low — but there’s no objective proof, veteran Russian military observer Yury Lyamin tells Sputnik.

"Such statements should be treated with great skepticism and seen as standard military propaganda," Lyamin says. "I believe Iran’s total number of launchers is generally underestimated."

Yes, the number of missile launches has dropped – but why?

👉 the decline in launches is largely due to constant air pressure, forcing Iranian forces to take maximum precautions

👉 US and Israeli strikes on tunnel entrances at missile bases require time to clear debris and carry out safety checks

"Iran’s main missile stockpiles and launcher reserves are stored deep within underground missile bases carved into mountains, making them extremely difficult to hit. Moreover, it’s unclear how they are moved inside," the pundit explains.

Lyamin draws attention to the fact that Iran keeps its missile launchers as simple and inexpensive as possible – they’re typically mounted on standard trailers and trucks.

That allows the Islamic Republic to maintain a substantial storage of those devices.

US vs. Israel: Conflicting assessments stir controversy

🟠 The Israeli side claim that "more than half" of all Iranian missile launchers have been destroyed, whereas the US insists Iran is "running out" of them

🟠 Israeli figures are also questionable, according to the expert:

👉 Israel claimed 300 launchers destroyed two days ago, but videos from the US and Israel show roughly a tenth of that

👉 While it’s true not everything is captured on video, the huge discrepancy warrants skepticism

🟠 Even within the video evidence provided by Israel and the US, there are questionable cases, according to the expert:

👉 Some strikes appear to have hit ordinary trucks mistaken for launchers

👉 One video even shows a strike on a broken truck with its hood open

👉 In another, a launcher that had already been destroyed was hit repeatedly

How $20,000 Iranian Drone is Draining Pentagon

Iran is striking not only military bases but also the budgets of the United States and Israel.

Let's compare:

🟠The price of one Shahed-136 is from $20,000
🟠The price of one interceptor (Patriot/SM-2) is from $3 million to $12 million

Since the beginning of the war, Iran has launched more than 2,000 drones. 61 aircraft fell over the UAE alone, damaging ports and airports.

Tehran produces hundreds of new drones every week. The US-Israeli air defense alliance, meanwhile, has a finite stock of interceptor missiles.
