US strikes Iran for seventh consecutive night; IRGC threatens full-scale offensive

US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Friday that American forces had launched another round of strikes on Iran, marking the seventh consecutive night of attacks since President Donald Trump ordered their resumption. Mohsen Rezaei, a senior IRGC official, warned that if US strikes continue for another two or three days, Iran will move to "full-scale offensive operations." Tensions remain extremely high.

Should the US continue its military strikes on Iran?

Gulf states race to build pipelines bypassing the Strait of Hormuz

Gulf Arab states are accelerating the construction of pipelines and infrastructure that bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which is increasingly threatened by Iranian missiles and drones. XTB analyst Kamil Szczepański notes that petrodollar-rich Gulf nations can complete in a few years infrastructure projects that would take decades elsewhere. Western engineers and Indian labourers are set to head into the desert to build the new routes. The push is a direct response to growing military risks from Iran.

Will pipelines bypassing Hormuz effectively secure Gulf oil supplies?

France vs England: the World Cup third-place match neither side wanted

After losing their respective semi-finals, France and England will meet in the World Cup third-place play-off – a match both sides would rather skip. Players who dreamed of the final and a gold medal must now take the field with nothing more than a bronze medal at stake. The game is widely seen as a consolation fixture, yet national pride means neither team can simply go through the motions.

Should the World Cup third-place play-off be abolished?

Reddit gamer creates physical Steam game cartridges using external SSDs

A Reddit user has built a DIY physical "cartridge" system for Steam games: each game is stored on a separate external SSD, and plugging it into a docking station triggers a script that launches the correct title in Steam. The setup is elegantly simple and saves space on the main drive. It does not, however, grant true game ownership independent of Steam — GOG's offline installation option remains the better alternative for that.

Should digital platforms like Steam guarantee full game ownership to players?

Israel's 'Crimson Thread' barrier cuts off Palestinian villages from their land

Israel has erected a new military barrier called the "Crimson Thread" in the Jordan Valley of the West Bank, cutting Palestinian communities off from their agricultural land. The structure is part of a broader Israeli strategy to control movement across the West Bank. Affected Palestinian villages say the barrier severely disrupts daily life and access to farmland.

Is Israel's military barrier in the West Bank justified on security grounds?

Pesticides on fruit and vegetables: how to wash them off effectively

Fruit and vegetables — including organic produce — carry residues of pesticides applied both in orchards and in storage facilities as preservatives. Rinsing under running water removes some residues but not all; scrubbing with a brush or soaking in a baking soda solution is more effective. Complete removal is impossible, as some chemicals penetrate into the flesh of the produce.

Are Poland's permitted pesticide limits on food strict enough?

Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov: I wrote down my nightmare to overcome it

Georgi Gospodinov, one of Bulgaria's most celebrated writers, tells Newsweek about a childhood nightmare he wrote down instead of telling his grandmother — and which never returned. He recalls the absurdities of communist Bulgaria, where even basic goods like oil and peppers were scarce. The interview explores literature, memory and writing as a way of processing trauma.

Does writing about trauma genuinely help people process it?

Potato milk: a creamy lactose-free drink few Poles know about

Potato milk is a plant-based drink with a mild flavour and creamy texture that contains no lactose or gluten. In Poland it remains far less well-known than oat, almond or soy milk, though it is already available in some stores. It is a viable option for people with lactose intolerance or those seeking an alternative to more mainstream plant-based milks.

Does potato milk have a chance to overtake oat milk as the most popular plant-based drink?

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2027 set to lose horsepower per homologation documents

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Is losing a few horsepower in the Ninja H2 a serious issue for riders?

Gotland water shortage: tourists urged to wash in the Baltic Sea instead of showering

Authorities on the Swedish island of Gotland are urging residents and tourists to drastically reduce their water consumption amid a deepening shortage. They are encouraging people to wash in the Baltic Sea instead of showering, saying one "sea wash" saves up to 90 litres of water. Gotland is a popular summer destination and has been struggling with water shortages regularly during summer seasons.

Should tourists skip showers and wash in the sea to save water?

GLP-1 drugs, originally developed for type 2 diabetes and later used for obesity, are now being studied for a much wider range of conditions. Researchers are investigating their effectiveness in heart disease, kidney and liver conditions, sleep apnoea, dementia and addiction treatment. The drugs' therapeutic potential appears far broader than initially expected.

Polish inflation has hit the National Bank of Poland's target exactly, reassuring economists and investors that price pressure is under control. At the same time, fuel prices have surged at petrol stations and the S&P 500 index is increasingly concentrated in technology stocks. Signals of an economic slowdown abroad raise questions about the durability of the current bull market.

Should the NBP cut interest rates now that inflation has hit its target?
