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.

RT @michaeldweiss: This is the best upsum I’ve read, although I confess to being biased given the authorship. Key line: “The new norm involves periodic precision strikes against Iran, deployed not for the purpose of regime change but for containment. Tehran, in turn, will be forced to internalize a posture of resistance it has spent decades exporting and leading from the rear.”

The end of American restraint broke a quarter-century taboo & shattered Iran's doctrine of exporting its wars. Once that happened, any US policy shifts stopped being the determining factor of where the Third Gulf War takes the region.

Iran Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:

“Before the negotiations, I emphasized that we have the necessary good faith and will, but due to the experiences of the two previous wars, we have no trust in the opposing side.

My colleagues on the Iranian delegation Minaab168 raised forward-looking initiatives, but the opposing side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations.”

RT @AdamKinzinger: "The Lego videos are funny. The situation is not. A theocracy that blocks its own people's access to the internet is currently running circles around the United States in the information space of an active conflict. That does not happen by accident. It happens because one side prepared and the other side burned down its own capacity and called it a victory for free speech." (Link in reply)

Diz-me com quem andas e diremos quem és.

Amanhã, a Hungria vai a votos 🇭🇺

@PM_ViktorOrban Orbán volta a ir a jogo… e os resultados falam por si 💪

Uma das taxas de natalidade mais altas da União Europeia, vários anos acima de 1,5 filhos por mulher 📊
Crescimento económico com ambição acima da média europeia 📈

Nada disto é por acaso. É o resultado de políticas que colocam o país, as famílias e a soberania em primeiro lugar ✋

Amanhã, os húngaros decidem. E a Europa devia prestar atenção.

Mais soberania, menos submissão 🔥

RT @VeryBrexitProbs: MAGA thinks Europe can't defend itself without America. Here's what they don't know.

1. France and Britain have 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear missile submarines.

2. European defence spending hit €481 billion this year. That's more than Russia and China spend combined. The EU's ReArm Europe plan is mobilising another €800 billion.

3. European countries have over 1.7 million active troops. Russia has 1.3 million.

4. EU and UK air forces fly over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies have five aircraft carriers, over 60 submarines, more than 120 frigates and destroyers.

5. Europe has over 6,000 artillery pieces and that's before the biggest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers.

6. The British SAS invented modern special forces. The US copied them to build Delta Force. From France's Foreign Legion to Poland's GROM, Europe's elite units are among the deadliest on earth.

7. Europe already has joint military commands ready to fight. The UK leads a 10-nation rapid reaction force across Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilise 900,000 trained reservists all prepared to fight in arctic conditions.

8. Europe has its own satellite navigation (Galileo), its own defence programme (75 active projects) and is building its own rapid deployment force.

The "helpless Europe" story was never about defence.
It was about keeping Europe dependent and buying American weapons, relying on American intelligence, following American foreign policy.

Thanks to Trump, that now ends.
