В 1930-е годы в Германии уже существовало немецкое подразделение The Coca-Cola Company. Так, например, в 1936 году Кока-Кола спонсировала Олимпийские Игры, на которых в том числе выступал Гитлер и открыто продвигал идеи нацизма, превосходства арийской расы и антисемитизма. Активно выходят газеты с нацистскими лозунгами на обложке, а на обороте в них же реклама Кока-Колы.
В 1939 началась Вторая Мировая Война, но Coca-Cola не ушла из Германии и не отозвала своих сотрудников. Просто головное подразделение абстрагировалось от немецкого Coca-Cola GmbH.
В 1941 году произошло нападение на Пёрл Харбор. К этому моменту США ещё не вступали официально во Вторую Мировую и спокойно продолжали поставки компонентов в Германию. Однако, после 7-го декабря США наложили на Германию санкции, в числе которых был запрет на импорт сиропа, нужного для производства Кока-Колы. Сотрудники, впрочем, всё ещё живут в Берлине и рулят местным подразделением. Гитлер потихоньку захватывает европейские страны, убивая тысячи людей.
Тогда же в Coca-Cola GmbH возникает идея создать напиток из компонентов, доступных в стране. Так, например, при производстве сидра остаётся много яблочного жмыха. А в процессе сыроварения образуется побочная молочная сыворотка. Эти ингредиенты и легли в основу нового рецепта. Руководитель подразделения Макс Кайт даёт своим менеджерам команду придумать название для нового напитка, проявив при этом фантазию (Fantasie), на что менеджер по продажам Джо Книпп сразу восклицает — «Fanta!». На рынок Третьего Рейха выходит новый напиток жёлтого оттенка, который, впрочем, отличается по рецепту и вкусу от знакомого нам апельсинового.
В источниках пишут, что компания Кока-Кола в Германии почти наверняка задействовала на своих заводах Фремдарбайтеров (Fremdarbeiter) и Остарбайтеров (Ostarbeiter) — военнопленных и захваченных гражданских, вывезенных из Европы с целью использования в качестве бесплатной или низкооплачиваемой рабочей силы.
В 1955 году, через 10 лет после падения Гитлера, Coca-Cola перевыпускает лимонад Fanta, который активно рекламируется и продаётся в Европе, Азии, Южной Америке и Африке. Но не в США, поскольку головное подразделение заявляет, что якобы боится подорвать сильную рыночную позицию их флагманского напитка. Однако, уже через 5 лет, в 1960 году, головная компания Coca-Cola в США выкупает у немецкой Coca-Cola GmbH права на торговую марку Fanta. Напиток начинает массово продаваться, принося корпорации прибыль по сей день.

The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei was welcomed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are backed by the Iranian regime.
“We congratulate the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership and people, on the selection of Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution at this important and pivotal juncture,” the group said in a statement on Telegram.
Mojtaba Khamenei’s elevation marks the first time since the 1979 Islamic revolution that Iran’s supreme leadership has passed from father to son.
It is a development likely to ignite debate inside Iran about the emergence of a dynastic system in a state founded explicitly to overthrow hereditary rule after the shah.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled for 37 years, was killed in a US-Israeli strike on Tehran on 28 February, on the first day of the war with Iran.
Across Iran’s political and security establishment, officials moved swiftly to welcome the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader.
The Revolutionary Guards declared they stood ready to follow him, signalling broad backing from the country’s core institutions.
Earlier in the day, in a post on X in Farsi, the Israeli military said it would continue pursuing every successor of Ali Khamenei and would pursue every person who sought to appoint a successor for him.
For many analysts, Khamenei’s appointment is a symbolic move designed to make the regime still appear strong and determined not to bow to western pressure.
The 56-year-old cleric has never held elected office nor formally occupied a senior position within Iran’s government. He has spent much of his life at the centre of power in Iran while remaining largely out of public view.
To his supporters, Khamenei represents continuity with the ideological line established by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and maintained by his father. To critics, his rise raises uncomfortable questions about the concentration of power – and the possibility of hereditary leadership in a state founded in revolt against monarchy.
Oil prices surged more than 25% on Monday to their highest levels since mid-2022, as major Middle Eastern oil producers cut supply because they cannot safely send shipments through the strait of Hormuz to refiners worldwide.
Traffic through the strait was largely closed after Iran attacked at least five ships, with a limited number of tankers transiting, choking off a key artery accounting for about 20% of global oil and LNG supply.

Ali Khamenei’s Second Son Took His Place
Who is He?
⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️
Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as his successor, as the war enters its 10th day and fresh missile and drone strikes reverberate across the Middle East.
After members of the clerical body responsible for selecting Iran’s highest authority announced the decision on Sunday, Iranian institutions and politicians, from the foreign ministry to lawmakers, issued statements expressing their allegiance.
“We will obey the commander-in-chief until the last drop of our blood,” a statement from the defence council said.
The move could lead to a further escalation of the war, given Donald Trump had already acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei was the most likely successor and made clear he considered him an “unacceptable” choice.
The US president said earlier on Sunday that Iran’s next supreme leader was “not going to last long” if Tehran did not get his approval first.
When asked about the appointment during an interview with the Times of Israel published late on Sunday, Trump was reported as saying: “We’ll see what happens.”
In the same interview, Trump said a decision on when to end the war would be a “mutual” one, together with Netanyahu.
Trump also asserted that Iran would have destroyed Israel if he and Netanyahu had not been around. “Iran was going to destroy Israel and everything else around it (…) We’ve worked together. We’ve destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel,” he was quoted as saying.
The Israeli military said it had launched a wave of strikes on Monday targeting “regime infrastructure” in central Iran, the first such announcement since the appointment of the new supreme leader.
The military also announced strikes on the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran and its proxies appeared to have launched attacks, too, with rocket and drone strikes targeting a US diplomatic facility near Baghdad’s international airport that were intercepted by the C-RAM defence system, said police sources.
A drone strike targeted a US military base near Erbil airport in Iraqi Kurdistan, security sources said, while Saudi authorities reported intercepting a drone east of its northern al-Jawf region.
In Bahrain, the health ministry reported 32 people were wounded overnight by an Iranian drone attack on the island of Sitra.
They include a 17-year-old girl who suffered severe head and eye injuries, and a two-month-old baby, according to the ministry.
Iranian state media also showed a projectile said to have been launched at Israel bearing the slogan: “At your command, Sayyid Mojtaba,” using an Islamic honorific.
