👔Trump confuses Iran with Ukraine:
Ukraine, from a military perspective, was defeated. You wouldn’t know that by reading the fake news.They had 159 ships - every single one of them is now underwater. That’s usually a very good thing.
Every single one of their planes was either shot down or completely destroyed.

The most honest statement that he has ever made in public.

Whats the poly bet on trump ordering them to do it again?
🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷 American regime treat the Minab massacre like a budget expense
KHANNA: How much did it cost American taxpayers, in terms of the strike on the Iranian school where kids were killed, in terms of the missiles we used?
HEGSETH: That unfortunate situation remains under investigation. I wouldn’t tie a cost to that.
They bombed a girls’ elementary school in broad daylight, slaughtering innocent children, and the only question that matters to them is the price of the missiles. Utterly inhuman!

Everytime I hear or see an American talk about “how much is that going to cost us?”, I straight up feel like strangling the life out of them. Everything’s value, especially life, can only be measured in money. We live among barbarians.
Asking a question so heinous that it makes Hegseth look good…

LOOOOOOOOL
🇵🇰🇮🇷⚡️Pakistan has officially notified and opened six overland transit routes for goods (including third-country cargo) destined for Iran, primarily to clear a backlog of over 3,000 Iran-bound containers stranded at ports like Karachi, Port Qasim, and Gwadar due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and restrictions on Iranian ports.
🇺🇸🇮🇷| After a MQ-4C drone crashed in the Persian Gulf, 2-3 days after the “ceasefire,” now a SECOND MQ-4C drone was damaged during its reconnaissance mission above the Persian Gulf.
Seems like the Persian Gulf does not agree with the American drones.
Brent crude rises above $119.40/bbl, highest since June 2022.
🇺🇸🇮🇷| Trump has reportedly rejected Iran’s (new) proposal and says it will continue its naval blockade.
CENTCOM is reportedly preparing for short strikes if Iran does not “act” as Trump hopes.
🇮🇷| Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Ghalibaf:
“The enemy sought to infiltrate its forces into the country and tested this plan in Isfahan, but it turned into a Tabas 2 version disgrace.
Trump explicitly divides Iran into hardliners and moderates and immediately talks about a naval blockade to force Iran to surrender through economic pressure and internal discord.
The only solution to counter this new conspiracy: Maintaining unity.
We, officials in Iran, all follow the orders directly from the country’s Leader.”
🇺🇸🇦🇪 UAE Out of OPEC: the US Controlled Demolition of Middle East Energy Exports
▪️The Western media is noting the immediate (temporary) effect this has had on oil prices, lowering them;
▪️Analysts are saying this is a US policy meant to manage the damage the US war on Iran has caused;
▪️This is true to a point - the US is causing and managing this damage deliberately;
▪️The US is now amid the same incremental, managed process of decoupling Asia from Middle East energy exports that it had used to decouple Europe from cheap, plentiful, and reliable Russian energy;
▪️The process of cutting Europe off from Russia took years (and is still taking place) and this current process of controlled demolition of Middle East energy exports to Asia will take time too - just as the US has LNG export projects being brought online or beginning construction in the US (Alaska, Texas etc) - projects that unil now made ZERO economic sense;
▪️This is why there may be temporary pauses in the US war on Iran but never any end at least until this process is complete - but then again, toppling Russia and Iran are also US objectives in and onto themselves, unlikely to change whether or not this controlled demolition is completed:
▪️If people re-read RAND Corporation’s 2019 “Extending Russia” they basically spell out how the US needed to expand LNG exports to Europe, that sanctions alone wouldn’t make it viable under peacetime conditions, and how another option would be to provoke war with Russia in Ukraine - and here we are…
The US is now repeating this whole process aimed now at the Middle East and Asia.
Emirati official to Reuters: As for multilateral organizations, the United Arab Emirates is reviewing the importance and usefulness of its role and contribution in all fields.
