The American delegation has about 300 members, while the Iranian delegation has about 86 members, including 20 main negotiators, according to Tasnim News Agency. Most of the world stands for Iran.

Pakistan is about at a standstill, having declared 3 days holidays while negotiations take place.

Iranian delegation comes with goodwill, but no trust — Ghalibaf. Iran is ready for a real deal, not a deceptive show. “If they intend to use negotiations as a futile show or deception, we are prepared to secure our rights through faith in God and reliance on our nation’s capabilities.”

Professor Mohammad Marandi seems to be part of the Iranian delegation in Islamabad. Marandi previously served as an advisor to Iranian nuclear negotiators for the JCPOA.

Iranian organization is within five ‘committees’:

1. The general committee, led by Parliament Speaker Qalibaf.
2. The political committee, led by FM Araqchi.
3. The military committee, led by Defense Council Chairman Ahmadian.
4. The economic committee, led by Central Bank Governor Hemmati.
5. The legal committee, led by deputy FMs Baqaei and Gharibabadi.

The war has not stopped in Lebanon. Israel is firing in Gaza. Netanyahu may agree to a short tactical pause in raids on Lebanon, according to an Israeli source cited by Axios.

Updates – things are rolling fast and both of these are from Middle East Spectator:

The Iranian delegation left for Islamabad after being informed by Pakistan that Israel had agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon’ (Careful with words .. Haaretz, citing a diplomatic source: Israel agreed to halt its attacks in Beirut following a US request.

The U.S. has authorized the release of $6 billion dollars in frozen Iranian funds. Qatari and Korean representatives are working to transfer the money to Iran within days.

I am not sure if the Iranian negotiators actually left for Islamabad for start of negotiations which were slated for today. There are conflicting reports.

“Iran will refuse to hold talks with the United States in Islamabad unless the attacks on Lebanon stop, the Tehran Times reported, citing a senior Iranian security official.”

Reports of Iranian talks team touching down in Islamabad FALSE — ‘informed source’ to Tasnim News

‘As long as US doesn’t fulfill commitment to ceasefire in Lebanon and Zionist regime continues its attacks, negotiations are SUSPENDED’ Talks have been postponed to tomorrow morning

Secret service teams and other U.S. staff are already in Islamabad, but neither J.D. Vance nor the Iranians have landed as of now.

The brutal and heinous Israeli attack on Lebanon and the effective breaking of negotiations (so far), is providing an opportunity for Netanyahu to set the clock baCK. He is now trying negotiations again, whereas there is a fine ceasefire plane that was implemented and adhered to by Hezbollah in November 2024. Of course, Israel never adhered to the agreement. https://www.lawandisrael.org/wp-content/uploads/Topics/Lebanon/War-2024/Full-Lebanon-ceasefire-agreement-revealed.pdf

In the meantime, no matter that Trump said he spoke with Netanyahu to tone it down, the Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue.

Israel rejects ceasefire terms, continues bombing Lebanon

Benjamin Netanyahu openly boasts about rejecting a ceasefire while intensifying strikes on Lebanon, all while claiming he’s pursuing a “sustainable peace.”

💬 “There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with force. We will not stop until we restore your security,” he said.

At the same time, he claims Israel is ready for negotiations with Lebanon, stating two goals: disarming Hezbollah and achieving a peace agreement.

Peace or ceasefire agreements are only performative. It is .. You Cease, We Fire plans.

‼️‼️

⚡️ By decision (http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/79517) of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, a ceasefire has been declared ahead of the Orthodox Easter – from 4:00 p.m. on April 11 until the end of April 12, 2026.

The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Andrey Belousov and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation – Commander of the Joint Grouping of Forces – Army General Valery Gerasimov have been instructed to halt combat operations in all areas for this period.

👉 Russian troops are to remain ready to repel any possible provocations by the enemy, as well as any aggressive actions on its part.

We proceed from the assumption that the Ukrainian side will follow Russia’s example.

Hezbollah is back in the fight doing their normal reports. This is attack number 16 so far for today. “In defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the enemy’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, and after the resistance adhered to the ceasefire while the enemy did not, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the “Kiryat Shmona” settlement for the seventh time with a rocket barrage at 1:40 PM on Thursday, 09/04/2026.

Khatibzadeh: Iran was on the verge of responding to the ceasefire violation last night, but Pakistan intervened

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister:

🔹 The Iranian delegation will head to peace talks in Islamabad. Based on its commitments, America must stop Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

🔹 Any peace in the region must include Lebanon, and the coming hours are very critical.

🔸 Iran was on the verge of responding to the ceasefire violation last night. Pakistan intervened and conveyed messages that Israel would be restrained by America.

(All to be taken with salt).  In the meantime, the President of Lebanon is playing his western game and saying they are capable of negotiating for themselves.  In my view, the CIA type organizations are having a field day placing misinformation in the general mileau.  The French Foreign Ministry:  “We are working to arrange direct dialogue between Lebanon and Israel, and the Lebanese authorities have announced their openness to it, ” — totally ignoring that there are peace agreements extant between Lebanon and Israel and the Zionists have not paid heed to any of that and has been shooting up Lebanon with or without agreements or direct dialogue.  The spiders are spinning webs of deceit.

Further, Pakistan will provide fighter jet escort, along with AWACS and electronic warfare cover, for the Iranian delegation traveling to Pakistan and returning to Iran, local media reports.  Of course, this delegation is vulnerable to be wiped out.  That is why Pretty Boy Vance (Larry, Curlie or Moe?) is not going.

Who wants to run a betting pool for us.  I would but have no clue how these things work.  I say 24 hours.

Strait of Hormuz already closed again.  Iran warns that if Israel continues to fight in Lebanon, they will not be party to the talks.  Trump on Lebanon: ‘That’s part of a seperate skirmish, okay?’  And the Trump admin says they will be discussing their 15 points, not Iran’s 10 points.  Blatant lies.

More from Medvedev:

White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt: ‘Iran submitted a 10-point proposal, which was ignored by the President’. Afterwards, Vance, who has taken over the managment of the lie machine for part of this day, said: Vance claims Iran’s ‘1st 10-point proposal’ went ‘in the GARBAGE’. ‘Probably written by ChatGPT’.

Vance tries to present that it is just a ‘misunderstanding’. Well, it is a critcial ‘misunderstanding’ that is going to take the empire down a little more. (Do these people not read critical documents? Rhetorical question).  He says:  “The Iranians misunderstood. We never said Lebanon was part of the ceasefire. It would be dumb for them to let this fall apart over Lebanon.”  No, it is clear on the documentation.   And let us not talk about ‘dumb’.

There is no respect for anyone here and that is a critical message.

JD Vance will not be able to take part in negotiations with Iran in Pakistan due to security concerns —Trump told the New York Post
Let’s not talk about dumb.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Dmitry Medvedev:

The conflict between the US and Iran has been put on hold. Predictably, both sides claimed victory.

So who won? First and foremost, common sense, which was severely undermined by the White House’s statements about destroying Iranian civilization in a single day.

However, the very fact that Trump agreed to discuss a ten-point plan is a success for the Iranians. The question is whether Washington will agree to it: after all, it involves compensation for damage to Iran, the continuation of the nuclear program, and Tehran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Obviously, they won’t. This would be humiliating for them and would mean a real victory for Iran.

So what? More military action?

Maybe, but there’s an intermediate option. Trump doesn’t want and can’t wage a long war, and he won’t get support from Congress. So we need to maintain the fragile truce and pretend everything is fine. Because every move on this board creates a situation close to a zugzwang.

But this is chess, where there are not just two players, but three. There’s also Israel, which doesn’t side with the US. It doesn’t need a truce and hasn’t achieved its goals. And it might well make its own move: simply wipe all the pieces off the chessboard. This makes the situation extremely uncertain.

Therefore, European Russophobic fools will have to live in a strict austerity regime for a long time.

After all, there will be no cheap oil…

Apr 7

My initial and early observation: It is a play for time. Iran retains the initiative. Israel has run out of interceptors and is slowly being mashed up. It is said that China in the background was the one using Pakistan to beg for a last minute reprieve. Bear in mind that two of the players (US and Israel) are not agreement-capable. US Tactics – get some concession and on the basis of that, agitate for their whole package again.

Immediate Results:

• 2 Week ceasefire – Trump frames it as an ‘extension of his deadline’
• Both Claim Victory  (Trump has now stopped nine wars he says)
• Supreme National Security Council in Iran:  “It has been decided at the highest level that Iran will conduct two weeks of negotiations in Islamabad based solely on these principles (10 Iranian Points). This does not mean the war is over; Iran will only accept the end of the war once these principles are confirmed in detail.”  Strait of Hormuz remains under Iran’s (and Oman’s) management.
• Israel says it does not include Lebanon and have carried out strikes against Lebanon since:

ISRAEL: 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes against what has been reported on the US-Iran ceasefire by all parties — Iran, the United States, and the Pakistani mediators.

It was previously reported that the two-week ceasefire agreement pending negotiations would include the Israeli occupation halting hostilities on Lebanon, but Netanyahu reversed course and announced that the aggression would continue.

“Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region,” Netanyahu said. “The two-weeks ceasefire does not include Lebanon.”

What a day.

Pakistan is running around like a little lapdog … Pakistani Prime Minister:
I ask our Iranian brothers to open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks as a goodwill gesture.
Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif asks Trump to extend the Iran deadline by two weeks. (So, this is why we said all along that Pakistan is not a mediator).

The Pope is up and speaking: Pope Leo XIV sharply condemned threats against Iran, calling them “truly unacceptable,” after Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight.”

The whole of Iran is out in the streets, making human walls around their power stations and preparing for whatever Trump decides to do. A “human flood” in various cities and regions of Iran; in condemnation of the American-Israeli aggression, in support of the Iranian leadership and in support of confronting the aggression.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto: It seems madness has taken hold of the world.

In Basra in southern Iraq, the Kuwaiti consulate is being stormed amid calls to declare war on Kuwait. The Iraqis just seized the Kuwaiti consulate and raised its flag.

Iran’s media operations center issues a warning to residents, travelers, and anyone planning to pass through key bridges and routes in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, stating that the following areas will be designated closed military zones starting at 23:00 Tehran time until further notice: the land route between Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, the King Fahd Causeway linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi.

Individuals are urged to leave these areas immediately, avoid any movement within them, and use designated safe routes for evacuation, warning that failure to comply may endanger lives. The notice also calls on Palestinians residing in Jaffa (Tel Aviv) to avoid specific locations, including Railway Bridge No. 8 on Route 431 and the Yarkon Railway Bridge in Tel Aviv, and to refrain entirely from approaching or moving through these areas under any circumstances.

Everywhere in the region shelter in place guidance is going out.

Iran? they are continuing with their next wave and hitting everything on their list.

Trump? As happy as a lark, as all the attention is on him, still talking about his deadline and heated negotiations.

Sergey Lavrov conveyed Russia’s position that candidates for the top UN post must strictly adhere to the principles of the UN Charter (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/full-text), pursue an impartial line in the interests of all member states, and work to adapt the Organisation to multipolar realities.

Rebeca Grynspan presented her campaign platform, focusing on approaches to addressing current challenges, organising the UN’s day-to-day work, and carrying out reforms aimed at fully restoring its effectiveness and operational capacity.

On the War on Iran thread – the US seemingly started their massive attack on bridges and power structures in Iran.  We will keep reporting on the War thread.

-Trump says:  “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”  Final Trump deadline as far as I can see is 9pm, probably Eastern, this evneing.  We will see.

But we need to know that the civilization will not obey, sit still and die because Trump said so.   None of us should.

-IRGC: Iran will carry out attacks WITHOUT previous restrictions.  To US regional partners: ‘Until today we exercised GREAT restraint in selecting retaliatory targets, but now all these considerations are REMOVED’.  ‘US & allies will be deprived of region’s oil and gas FOR YEARS’

-Six or seven days ago, Iran requested more volunteers of all kinds to defend.  They were asking for a million volunteers.  Yesterday it was reported that they received 14 million Iranians, willing and wanting to volunteer for any and all tasks.  Pezheskian, bless his heart, volunteered as well for military service.

This is our time, world!  It is the time to do what we need to do. Do not pay IMF loans!  Do not pay World Bank financial structuring.  Boycott, divest and sanction Israel, in reality, not in words.  Not one vessel to Israel.  Make the US ports empty!  Refuse to provide the US with commodities – do not sell to them.  Diplomats, use your podiums – all podiums to reject this war of choice.  Stop doing anything that can wait and be fully engaged in getting rid of the empire.  Hammer your shoes on all podiums worldwide!  This is our time world!  Send US soldiers home.  Close the +- 800 US bases.  Carry them out if they do not want to leave.  Use Force Majeure.   Do not accept either Americans or Israelis into your countries for whatever reason.  China, no Trump visit!  Cancel it!  Offer University and research space to Iranian teachers of all levels while they are being bombed.  We have never had such a ripe moment.  Take it world!

Trump is calling for the erasure of a civilization.  All of us need to resist that.  Conceptually and practically.  Nobody on this earth has the right to erase another civilization.  We have to resist, and we have to do it now!  A “civilization” that gave the world McDonald’s is threatening to wipe out the civilization that gave the world algebra.

Russia, China, for crying in a bucket!  Stop calling for ‘immediate cessation of hostilities’.  Start calling for a USRael white flag.  Tell them that their adventure is over!  If this war stops now, we have to do these things, or more, or a subset anyway.  The economic bullet is fired!  The US has already done those things that puts the ordinary peoples of the world in peril.  We already have years of economic corrective actions ahead of us.

The USRael will most probably charge in and bomb what they can.  Then they will charge out.  And then return.  Underneath will be another boots on the ground attempt.  Iran will take punishment.  Say goodbye to the region as it is structured now.

The Pink Missile

Donald Trump is on edge, issuing dramatic threats to “wipe Iran off the map”, today, if I’ve kept track with the threats. The world watches in palpable tension. Yet, on the other side, the Iranians appear almost unfazed, going about their lives with a striking sense of calm, even amusement, as events unfold around Zionist Israel.

Just days ago, during protests in Tehran, the cutest little Iranian girl emerged at the heart of the crowd. With the Iranian flag painted across her cheeks and a Palestinian flag clutched in her small hands, she delivered a simple, innocent request to a commander in the Iranian Revolution Guard’s air force:

“Excuse me, uncle… could you please send a missile to Israel, but make it pink?”

At first glance, it’s the kind of moment that makes you smile, the disarming innocence of a child, speaking with pure simplicity. But in a twist that blurred the line between symbolism and spectacle, the Revolution Guard reportedly embraced the request. They honored it in their own way… actually launching a missile painted pink, inscribed with the words: “In response to the little revolutionary girl.”

Iranians showing resilience to Zionist and American terrorism in way the world has never seen before.

Sometimes you encounter a person you simply cannot stand—whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. For me, one such person is Israel’s UN Ambassador, Danon.

Much of what he says is unhinged. Having listened to him repeatedly in the UN Security Council, I react to his words as I would to a bag of poison. Here, he distorts a clear and fundamental principle of international law. He claims: “Israel has ‘LEGITIMACY’ to target Iranian ‘CIVILIAN TARGETS’. According to international law, if the other side is attacking civilian targets, you’re allowed to retaliate.”

First, he ignores Israel’s own history of attacking civilians—a pattern continuing today in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. Second, he sidesteps the facts.

The fact is: you cannot target civilians. Period. Doing so is a war crime. This is precisely why Russia states it does not target civilians, and why Iran asserts the same.

Amid the wider turmoil across the Middle East and South Asia, we risk losing sight of Gaza. The slow-motion genocide continues, day by day. As Francesca Albanese correctly states: “Israel has been emboldened by the impunity granted to it.”

And that impunity is shared—very few states are truly innocent. That this has been allowed to continue, including under Trump’s so-called Gaza Peace Plan, must be laid at the feet of most of our governments. Albanese also warns: impunity will not end without consistent, collective action from the global community. The world must act—in solidarity.

Here we have a premeditated, public declaration of intent to continue committing war crimes—essentially a confession of crimes against humanity. Why isn’t the world up in arms? When the WSJ asked President Trump whether he was concerned that Iran’s 93 million people could suffer if civilian infrastructure were hit, he replied: “No, they want us to do it.”

NO! 

Iran does not want suffering inflicted upon them. They are fighting to prevent it—and to ensure it cannot be done ever again into the forseeable future.   Nuremberg never entertained the notion that anyone “surreptitiously wanted to be slaughtered.”

Do not believe this kind of slop.

We need a well-established world court with the courage and capacity to act swiftly. Which country will step up? This is a perfect BRICS initiative.

With respect, Mr. Trenin—and acknowledging and deeply appreciating the dedicated work of the Russia’s diplomatic corps—even you are letting the world fall when you say: “We are an autocratic nation: we do not go under anyone and do not let the world fall.” https://sovereignista.com/2026/04/05/we-are-an-autocratic-nation-we-do-not-go-under-anyone-and-do-not-let-the-world-fall/

We are letting the world fall, Mr Trenin.  It is time we join hands, across oceans, through dales and valleys.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Media out of the US feverishly reports that the Trump administration is working on a ‘last ditch’ effort for a 45 day cease fire agreement. You may pay attention to this, but it is just another desperate attempt at pretending to seek an off-ramp, as usual perfidious.

The Wall Street Journal, citing officials:

Regional intermediaries informed Iran that Trump is eager to reach a ceasefire despite his threats.

The United States may concede on some of its demands.

Iranian intermediaries believe that America might use the 45-day period to prepare for further attacks.

Several western media outlets are (already reporting victory) reporting the U.S. and Iran have agreed to a preliminary ceasefire framework.  Check stock markets today.  You do know that Trump’s two older sons are manufacturing drones.  And the younger one (the one who is ‘too tall for war’) rakes in the cash having placed some short bets for the next few days.  Mark my words – some agreement will be announced in the next hours, and it will be an agreement that Iran does not even know about.  It will be made up out of spun sugar and ‘too tall for war’ will profit mightily.  Can we analize this war very cheaply?  It is said to be a war of choice.  Was it created to play these market games and for no other reason at the core of it?  Something to think about.

So far, Iran is not sniffing at it.  Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei confirms that they received the said proposals however, Iran won’t reopen the strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire”, while the US lacks the readiness for a permanent ceasefire, the official was quoted as saying. Tehran will not be pressured into accepting deadlines and making a decision, the official added.

Overall the analysts accept that Trump will go for boots on the ground action.  Thing is, he has just mightily lost the airmen ‘Rescue Attempt’, which was actually an attempt at establishing a forward operating base, as well as last Friday’s ‘Black Friday’ when it became clear that Iran has air defense and for USRael planes it will not be a cakewalk to bomb Iran to smithereens.  Nobody really knew this exept the ones that paid attention.

The question is: Is Trump in charge? And the answer is — barely. As we and others portrayed right from the beginning, he is only a circus master – the guy who stands outside and shouts to encourage bystanders to attend his circus. Most everyone is the world is taking a pass and even a hard NO.

In the meantime, the world is staring a deep economic bitter tragi-comedy in the face. This is not something that was not expected. We said from the start that the pigeon is now kicking over the chessboard. It appears that the Israeli defensive perimeter, interceptor systems and ordinance is now non-effective, not working, and Iran is mostly striking at will.

Slowly, vessel by vessel Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz and missiles the vessels that will never, while current circumstances hold, receive their permission to transit. Something like 12 vessels transited yesterday. “Fars News Agency: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy launched a cruise missile at the Israeli SDN7 container ship, which is now on fire.”  The economic damage is done, and even if most vessels transit in the next few days, the economic price will have to be paid.  On the Strait of Hormuz, Catherine Austin Fitts says:  “And if it goes on for long enough, she notes, with countries mulling COVID-like shutdowns to save gas, that is equal to “intentionally shutting down the global economy.”   It is all a circus and the Hollywood’ish script is extant in some big computer.

Humans against the Machine! Look up the word ‘sabotage’.  The English word derives from the French word saboter, meaning to “bungle, botch, wreck or sabotage”.  It was originally used to refer to labour disputes, in which workers wearing wooden shoes called sabots tossed their shoes into the machinery to interrupt production.   It is time for shoes on the podiums of the world and shoes into the machinery of the machine.   Strengthen your diplomats to stop pussyfooting around and to use their podiums to toss some shoes.

A few comments following Trump’s Praise be to Allah aggressive post:

Brian Berletic:  Trump isn’t in charge of anything, he makes ZERO decisions, and no, he hasn’t “lost his mind.”

This is messaging.

The question you have to ask is messaging to who and why?  When the US renamed the Department of Defense to the “Department of War,” I warned of a concerted and ongoing effort to radicalize as many across the West into rabid, racist warmongers celebrating naked and entirely unapologetic imperial aggression as possible.

The US is out of time to make excuses, sell justifications, and shape narratives – it is rushing to the finish line with war and proxy war against the pillars of multipolarism – Russia, Iran, and China.

It needs to distill a core minority willing to irrationally fight and die in what are otherwise dangerous, unnecessary, unjustifiable wars of aggression – that is who these messages are for – and among this rabid, racist, warmongering minority – it resonates.

Will Schryver:   After absorbing the shocking results of the failed mission, the US triumphantly claimed the pilot was rescued, the operation was a brilliant success, and the US has the greatest military in human history.

Tucker Carlson:  Father Chad Ripperger has spent his life as an exorcist. It’s clear to him that demons are in charge of parts of American politics.

Further on Fox News:

President Trump: ‘I think we can reach a deal with Iran by tomorrow, otherwise we’ll blow everything up, they don’t want that’.  We’ll have an agreement tomorrow, I think they’ll agree to our conditions’.   ‘If they don’t make a deal, we’re gonna blow everything up and take the oil’.

And the comedy gold: US SENT GUNS TO IRANIAN PROTESTERS earlier this year.  ‘We sent them a LOT of guns. We sent them through the Kurds’ .   ‘And I think the Kurds took the guns‘. (Iran’s boots are gonna walk all over you because you don’t have an idea who you are dealing with!)

This is not all.  The Russians had a conversation about Kaja Kallas this morning.  They are much stiffer than the Iranians where the first lego movies are out already!   Russia should really get a bunch of Iranians to assist them in the humor department.

Putin’s aide Ushakov on Kaja Kallas:  She’s only ever said 1 interesting phrase: ‘time to start drinking’.  ‘Well, I think it’s time for her to do this’

Peskov:   Kallas mockery CONTINUES: Peskov with a very politely-worded criticism:  Her ‘level of qualification and professional quality do not meet high standards’.

Lavrov with a double whammy:  This DISGRACE continues. (After Kallas accused Russia AGAIN of having ‘attacked 19 countries’).  EU ‘likes to enjoy how she demonstrates her ‘knowledge’ in geography, politics and other areas’

But why is Trump so triggered this morning?.  I’ll tell you what I think.  I think he does not have a rescued airman to show.  The complete rescue was made into a circus and the tent just tumbled down.  At least Iran has some underwear to show.   US so-called rescue mission ‘ended in total failure’: Khatam al-Anbiya

Besides the jokes and the hilarity, both wars continue, plus wars in Africa. That is the real problem on our planet.

Maria Zakharova

It seems that an alternative decision-making center is rapidly forming in Europe without Washington’s involvement on pressing economic and political issues. London is expected to take the lead in this regard.

Yesterday’s virtual meeting on the topic of unblocking the Strait of Hormuz is very indicative in this sense. The heads of foreign ministries from more than 40 countries participated in it.

The tendency to hold meetings without Americans is becoming not just indicative, but commonplace. It’s clear that more serious issues will be on the agenda, including the future of NATO. Without Washington, this bloc loses its meaning and, most importantly, confidence in its own effectiveness.

In short, there are plenty of reasons for analysis. https://t.me/MariaVladimirovnaZakharova/12616

🧊 Iran banned Telegram years ago, with a result similar to Russia. The government hoped for mass adoption of its surveillance messaging apps, but got mass adoption of VPNs instead. Now 50M members of the Digital Resistance in Iran are joined by 50M+ more in Russia. 😙

🔹 Hormuz Island is an oval-shaped salt dome island located in the Persian Gulf, about 8 kilometers from Bandar Abbas.

🔹 Due to its strategic geographical position and proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, the island is often referred to as the “Key to the Persian Gulf.”

Israeli writer Alon Mizrahi:

🔻 It is becoming almost impossible today to keep track of the sirens and strikes across occupied Palestine: it seems to be happening everywhere, all the time—north, south, and center—by Hezbollah and Iran both jointly and separately: ports, air force bases, and Israeli military factories. These are the most intense attacks since the beginning of this war, and they continue in a clearly escalating direction that I have been warning about over the past ten days or so.

🔻 My feeling is that if things continue like this, “Israel” will be forced to kneel and surrender, or face total collapse and annihilation within weeks—not years or months, but weeks.

🔻 I am certain that the Israeli army’s top leadership already realizes this.

As Alon says, it is becoming impossible.  And here is something that we probably reported in the earlier hours after an airman was reported missing and seemingly it is not accurate or confusion reigns.

US claim it’s rescued 1 of the pilots from crashed jet is ‘an ENEMY PLOY’ — governor of Iranian province where aircraft went down.  ‘If pilot had been rescued, it would have had to be done by helicopters’, but ‘all people of the region prevented helicopters from landing’
