The Kremlin responds to Pres. Biden’s huge call on Putin’s future as leader
U.S. President Joe Biden made a startling comment towards the end of his milestone speech in Poland, saying of Vladimir Putin: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
President Biden gave a direct message to the Russian people while speaking from Warsaw Saturday telling them, “You… are not our enemy.”
“I’ve always spoken directly and honestly to you the Russian people,” he says.
“Let me say this, if you’re able to listen. You the Russian people are not our enemy.
“I refuse to believe you welcome the killing of innocent children and grandparents.
“Or that you accept hospitals, schools, maternity wards for God’s sake, being pummelled with Russian missiles and bombs.
“Or cities being surrounded so that civilians cannot flee, supplies cut off and attempting to starve Ukrainians into submission.
“Millions of families are being driven from their homes, including half of all Ukraine’s children.
“These are not the actions of a great nation.”
The Kremlin responds
It is not for Joe Biden to decide if Vladimir Putin stays in power, the Kremlin says.
As we reported earlier, the US president gave a speech with comments aimed directly at the Russian people, closing with: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
According to Reuters, a Kremlin spokesman responded: “That’s not for Biden to decide. The president of Russia is elected by Russians.”

White House statement
Biden’s line that Putin “cannot remain in power” was not in his prepared remarks, a White House official said.
US officials had said previously said removing Putin from power was not their goal.
“For us, it’s not about regime change. The Russian people have to decide who they want to lead them,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said earlier this month.

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.
With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel strike Iran as missiles hit Gulf bases and oil surges
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.
The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.
Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.
Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.
Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.
Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.
With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
