Russian Central Bank Files Lawsuit Over EU's Indefinite Asset FreezeLegal Challenge Against EU Asset FreezeBackground of the Asset FreezeMOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank said on Tuesday that it had submitted a claim to the Luxembourg-based General Court of the European Union, challenging a move made in December 2025 to freeze its assets in Europe indefinitely. The central bank estimates that about $300 billion of Russia's sovereign funds have been frozen by Western countries. Alleged Procedural ViolationsIn its statement, the central bank said the freeze was introduced with "serious procedural violations" because it was adopted by majority vote rather than unanimously, as required by EU law. A source close to the central bank said the alleged violations were the focus of the claim. EU's Position and Central Bank's ResponseThe EU document on the freeze, published on December 12, rules out any possibility of legal action by Russia over the decision in EU courts.

Hagar Chemali spoke to CNN’s Erica Hill on Tuesday. CNNThe fragility of Iran’s economy meant the regime was edging toward collapse “with or without war,” a former US treasury spokesperson for terrorism and financial intelligence has told CNN. “With or without war or strikes, the Iranian regime was on its way to a very dire economic collapse,” Hagar Chemali told CNN’s Erica Hill. The expert recalled the collapse late last year of one of Iran’s largest private banks, Ayandeh Bank, which triggered a further devaluation of the country’s currency that caused inflation to skyrocket. That was the spark for widespread anti-government protests in Iran in January, she said.

A state trial court in January found that New York’s 11th Congressional District diluted the power of Black and Latino voters, violating a provision of the state’s constitution. Separately, the court is considering a high-profile case involving Louisiana’s congressional map. The Supreme Court has recently grappled with a series of emergency redistricting appeals.

To help us better understand the goals of the campaign from an Israeli point of view, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, international spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, is here. What kind of intelligence did Israel have that Iran posed an imminent threat? Iran is working in a few dimensions to create an existential threat to Israel - not just to Israel, but they're working in a few different directions simultaneously.

For what it's worth, I subscribe to the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, and several other outlets.
