RT @NSTRIKE1231: #BREAKING

❗️❗️❗️ U.S.-Iran talks have ended without success, with no peace agreement reached. Vance stated this is worse news for Tehran than for Washington.

📌 “They chose not to accept our terms — we worked for 21 hours. We had substantive discussions… The bad news is we failed to reach an agreement.”

🟦 Vance appears unmoved by what he described as misleading rhetoric from Iran’s leadership, which he suggested believes it holds the advantage.

📌 “The simple fact is we need clear confirmation that they will not pursue nuclear weapons or the capabilities to rapidly develop them.”

🇮🇷 Iran also confirmed that negotiations in Islamabad ended without a deal, blaming Washington’s “excessive demands” for the lack of progress.

🟥 Reports indicate the main points of contention were transit rights in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program.

🇺🇸 U.S. negotiators have already left Pakistan after the high-stakes talks collapsed, leaving key disputes unresolved.

Peter Magyar says if Tisza wins he will cap the prime minister’s tenure at two terms. He says about 60 reports of election fraud have already come in.

Turnout at 9 AM hit a record 16.98 percent, the National Election Office says. Orban said he came to win, while Peter Magyar framed the vote as a choice between East and West and warned Fidesz may stage fraud and provocations.

Turnout in Hungary’s parliamentary elections hit 3.46% by 7 AM, a record and nearly double the same hour four years ago. The main race is Fidesz vs Tisza with Peter Magyar leading in polls, a pivotal vote for Hungary and for Orban. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/2043224521814004120/video/1 - WarTranslated

My thoughts on the US/Iran negotiations:

Vice President Vance says the U.S. has issued a final offer, signaling Washington is not planning to reopen terms.

Tehran is likely to push for continued talks, leveraging its track record as a super negotiator, everyone knows the Persians know how to negotiate, just try buying a Persian carpet.

The current U.S. position goes well beyond the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, expanding from nuclear limits to 4 core demands:

1. Nuclear program restrictions
2. Ballistic missile limits
3. Halt funding to regional proxies
4. Keep the Strait of Hormuz open

These are far broader and more demanding than previous frameworks.

President Trump is also signaling escalation: if Hormuz access is restricted, the U.S. could move toward a full naval blockade of Iran’s oil exports, aiming to cut off regime revenue.

Let’s see where this goes.

RT @Osint613: I had this thought today.

What the world witnessed between the U.S. and Israel against Iran was one of the largest coordinated air campaigns ever launched against a single nation-state by two allied powers. Few operations, if any, in the modern era compare.

In the first 72 hours alone, over 1,700 targets were struck. By day seven, the U.S. had hit more than 3,000. By day ten, 5,000. The final U.S. tally: over 13,000 targets. More than 2,000 command and control sites. 1,500 air defense positions. 450 ballistic missile targets. 600 naval targets.
Israel matched that tempo on its own terms.

In 18 days, the Israeli Air Force flew what it normally flies in a full year. More than 12,000 munitions dropped. 8,500 strikes across Iran. 5,700 combat sorties in the Iranian theater alone. 7,000 targets struck across all fronts of operation.

Before Iran could respond meaningfully, Israel had destroyed 80 to 85 percent of Iran’s air defense architecture. Radars. Interceptors. Detection systems. Gone.
Iran was producing roughly 100 ballistic missiles per month before the war. That capacity is now close to zero.

The first 24 hours were double the firepower of the opening of the 2003 Iraq War.

Desert Storm opened with 150 targets. Epic Fury opened with 1,700.

The most sustained joint air campaign of the 21st century. By two countries.
