This is a long LCI roundtable covering two headline stories: Ukrainian deep-strike drone attacks inside Russia, and the Trump–Iran agreement signed in Versailles. The tone is highly opinionated, with military guests, correspondents, and commentators debating the tactical impact, psychological effect, and diplomatic consequences.

The first major block centers on a striking Ukrainian drone attack against a Moscow-area refinery, with the panel repeatedly returning to the visual of a refinery cap or cover being blown into the air. The speakers frame this as both a military strike and an information/psychological event: the war is being brought into Russia’s interior, especially Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and the broader Russian public sphere. Several guests explain the likely mechanics of the strike in technical terms: secondary explosions inside fuel infrastructure, large drone payloads, low-altitude routing, electronic warfare, GPS jamming, and increasingly autonomous or AI-assisted guidance. …
Tactically, the immediate setup is still escalation: Ukraine appears able to hit deep Russian infrastructure, while Russia is likely to answer with more conventional strikes. The market-sensitive angle is that Trump is selling the Iran deal on lower oil and stronger equities, so headlines around implementation and any backlash remain the near-term catalyst.
Over the next few weeks, the base case in the transcript is continued Ukrainian pressure on Russian logistics and more political friction around the Trump-Iran arrangement. The deal’s durability will depend on whether the technical talks hold, while the U.S.-Israel relationship may remain a source of volatility if Washington keeps leaning on Jerusalem.
Structurally, the transcript argues that warfare is shifting toward mass-produced drones, electronic resilience, and psychological disruption, allowing smaller powers to hit larger states’ soft underbellies. It also implies a longer-lasting U.S. foreign-policy regime where transactional economics and domestic political messaging matter more than alliance orthodoxy.
The nuclear pre-agreement with Iran is the biggest failure of both Trump terms and one of the biggest US foreign policy failures in a long time.
The speaker asserts that the deal represents a capitulation and a complete failure, worse than the Doha accords with the Taliban.
Ukrainians have taken the advantage in drone warfare — they produce more drones and have more effective technology, while Russian AI is 1-2 years behind.
Speaker argues Ukraine leads in drone quantity and tech, with Russia having bet on the wrong (fiber optic) technology.
Les Ukrainiens ont développé une capacité de navigation et de ciblage qui contourne le brouillage GPS russe pour atteindre Moscou avec des drones.
L'invité (Xavier Tittleman) explique que malgré un brouillage GPS si intense que même les chauffeurs de taxi se perdent, les Ukrainiens parviennent quand même à naviguer et frapper leurs cibles.
Qu'est-ce qui est si puissant que ça permet de soulever comme ça la chape de la raffinerie ?
Michel Goya explique qu'il s'agit d'une explosion secondaire provoquée par les drones qui, avec quelques dizaines à cent kilos d'explosifs, font exploser le carburant à l'intérieur, ce qui génère un effet de souffle considérable projetant la chape métallique dans les airs.
Quelle est votre explication à vous de cette image de la raffinerie ? Quelle capacité de puissance peut défier les Russes à Moscou ?
Irina Tereg répond que c'était une opération combinée des forces armées ukrainiennes, avec 50 % de capacités techniques et 50 % de planification militaire. L'attaque a utilisé des drones à la première personne, de la reconnaissance, et a dû pénétrer plusieurs couches de défense antiaériennes russes, la guerre électronique étant la partie la plus difficile.
À quel type de drone a-t-on affaire ici dans cette attaque ?
Irina Tereg répond que ce sont des drones de frappe en profondeur pilotés en vue à la première personne, avec une portée allant jusqu'à 260 km et une charge utile de 60 kg. À la question sur la forme, elle précise que la largeur est d'environ 6 mètres, similaire à un drone Shahed en termes de taille.
