U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that U.S. forces have now redirected 100 ships in support of the blockade of Iran at the mouth of the Gulf of Oman. Since the operation began, 4 ships have been disabled for failure to follow orders of U.S. forces and divert away while allowing 26 ships to pass carrying humanitarian aid.

President Donald J. Trump has just posted an image to Truth Social of a map of the Middle East centered on Iran covered in the stars & stripes with the title "United States of the Middle East?" This follows the abrupt cancellation of his weekend trip to the Bahamas for the wedding of Don Jr. followed by a weekend at his property in Bedminster, NJ.

Principal Pakistani decision-maker, Field Marshal Asim Munir met with Iranian Foreign Abbas Araghchi earlier today, amidst Pakistani efforts to facilitate a deal between the U.S. and Iran. However, Iranian news outlets have continued to report little success, as both sides continue to fail to realize convergence on key points of contention, such as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program.

Following Israeli Minister of National Security Ben Gvir’s release of a video showing the rough handling and abuse of Gaza Freedom Flotilla members in an Israeli detention center, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced that he is banned from entering France. The video, released earlier this week, received backlash from decision-makers around the globe, including some U.S. officials, and prompted a number of nations to summon their respective Israeli ambassadors over the matter.

À compter de ce jour, Itamar Ben-Gvir est interdit d'accès au territoire français.

Cette décision fait suite à ses agissements inqualifiables à l'égard de citoyens français et européens passagers de la flottille Global Smud.

Nous désapprouvons la démarche de cette flottille qui ne produit aucun effet utile et surcharge les services diplomatiques et consulaires, dont je salue le professionnalisme et le dévouement.

Mais nous ne pouvons tolérer que des ressortissants français puissent être ainsi menacés, intimidés ou brutalisés, qui plus est par un responsable public.

Je relève que ces agissements ont été dénoncés par un grand nombre de responsables gouvernementaux et politiques israéliens.

Ils font suite à une longue liste de déclarations et d’actions choquantes, d’incitations à la haine et à la violence à l'encontre des Palestiniens.

Comme mon collègue italien, je demande à l'Union européenne de prendre également des sanctions à l’égard d’Itamar Ben-Gvir. - Jean-Noël Barrot

The enemies of the EU continue their campaign against Kaja Kallas

Not only does Kaja Kallas whitewash US imperialism in Latin America, but she does so in a speech delivered in Mexico — one of the region’s fiercest critics of US imperialism.

The lack of self-awareness is astonishing. It is embarrassing that this is Europe’s top diplomat. - Jostein Hauge

According to Israel’s I24 News, citing an Iranian official, a memorandum of understanding, that excludes the key point of contention on Iran’s enriched material, has been reached with Pakistani mediators. Per the report, they are currently waiting for a U.S. response. In the past, the U.S. has been unwilling to accede to a deal framework that excludes Iran’s nuclear program.

RT @BrettErickson28: Moments ago, Donald Trump posted this image to his Truth Social, and it underscores perhaps the greatest failure of the Iran War:

The loss of Iranian support.

Entering into this conflict, there were high hopes for potential mass uprising against the regime. Just earlier this year, we saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets to protest the abhorrent Iranian regime. The economy was in shambles. The people were angry. And the opportunity for the United States and the West to topple the regime was at an all time high.

And then we bombed the school in Minab, killing hundreds of helpless, innocent children. And we triple-tapped it. No meaningful investigation. No notable public apology. No accountability. Just a monstrous slaughter of innocent children.

The people in Iran turned against the United States… fast.

And if that didn’t do the trick? President Trump then threatened to “wipe out their entire civilization”. Many Iranian’s went to sleep that night wondering whether or not they would ever wake up.

Now, once again, the United States is showing their true colors.

This was never about Donald Trump “caring about the Iranian citizens”. He doesn’t. This is about installing a puppet regime in Tehran beholden to the West. That’s all it has ever been about.

Continued imagery such as this continues to hand easy PR victories to the regime. It’s easy to sell the United States as “The Great Satan” when you bomb schools. When you threaten an entire civilization. When you post images that insinuate the removal of Iran as an independent nation.

The Persian people are a PROUD people. Their patriotism rivals that of even us here in America. Posting imagery such as this would go about as well as Canada threatening the United States with becoming part of their country. Not in a million years.

While this War has been RIFE with failures, perhaps the failure that is most devastating is the one that has seen many Iranian’s become disillusioned with the United States.

Our opportunity to topple the regime hinged on the support of the Iranian people. Now that is gone. The regime in cemented in their power. And Iran has a common enemy once again in the United States.

And rightfully so.

Many accounts have been hacked for months if not more - @Support why aren't you restoring access?

The one consolation after losing my “IstanbulTelAviv” account to a hacker last year is that I preserved an archive of my tweets from 2011–2022. As a historian, that record matters. The account still exists under a new name, and @Support has yet to restore access or get back to me. - Louis Fishman لوي فيشمان לואי פישמן
