🎥 Bloomberg: Germany is preparing its ports for a potential war 🔸 Europe's largest automotive port in Bremerhaven, located on the North Sea coast of Germany, is being rebuilt and strengthened with an investment of 1.35 billion euros. 🔸 This government project, budgeted for 2026 in Germany, is designed not for the export of Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen cars, but to prepare loading docks for transporting heavy military equipment, including 60-ton Leopard tanks. 🔸 This move is part of a broader program to prepare Europe's largest economy against potential military threats. Given Germany's central location in Europe and its significant industrial capacities, Berlin can play a central role in supplying equipment and supporting troops in the event of a military conflict. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 CNN: A war with Iran could destabilize or even shatter the US economy 🔸 A sharp increase in energy prices following a war with Iran would place direct pressure on American consumers and reduce household spending power; an issue that would lead to weakened economic growth. 🔸 This situation could lead to reduced demand; where rising costs reduce consumption and investment, leaving companies facing falling demand. At the same time, higher inflation and geopolitical uncertainty increase the risk of slowing or even an economic recession. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
