Iranās Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iranās support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iranās regional proxies to expand its influence. However, Khamenei dismissed such accusations, stressing that these organizations are motivated by local grievances and ideological commitments, not Iranian directives.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.
