Iranian source tells Al Jazeera on a potential US/Iran deal:

"Negative vibes are already surfacing... There are signs of U.S. retreat on two central issues: the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets, and the scope of a ceasefire in Lebanon"

Less than 24 hours after optimism emerged around a possible Iran-US memorandum, negative vibes are already surfacing.
A well-informed Iranian source tells me there are signs of U.S. retreat on two central issues: the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets, and the scope of a ceasefire in Lebanon.
According to the source, the memorandum includes a Lebanon ceasefire framework, but Israel is reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement and is pushing Washington to include language allowing it to carry out military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” Iran is rejecting that formulation and insisting on a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.
Tehran has informed all mediators, including Pakistan, that it will not sign the memorandum unless all clauses are fully agreed and guaranteed. Pakistan reportedly suggested moving forward with agreed sections while postponing contentious points, but Iran rejected that approach, insisting the disputed clauses are fundamental and non-negotiable.
The overall picture suggests Tehran increasingly views Washington as backing away from earlier understandings reached through mediators. - Ali Hashem علي هاشم

RT @NSTRIKE1231: 🇷🇺🇮🇱🇺🇦 Israeli military observer Yigal Levin criticizes Moscow’s strikes and writes:

🗣️ “Lately, Moscow has been trying more and more often to present its large-scale attacks as ‘retaliatory strikes.’ As if this is a response to Ukraine’s effective and massive attacks on Russian territory.
Moreover, unlike Russia’s strikes on peaceful civilian objects, Ukraine targets oil refineries, military factories, ships, logistical hubs, arsenals, ports, army and FSB headquarters, etc.
This thesis is absurd from the very beginning, because it was Russia that started the war. Accordingly, all of Ukraine’s actions are a reaction. That is, when Kyiv strikes Russia, it is actually responding to aggression.
This is completely logical: war can never be a ‘one-sided game.’ If you decide to bomb someone, you must be prepared for them to bomb you back.
Russia, on the other hand, behaves in an extremely infantile way — just like its citizens, who express surprise when explosions and strikes begin on their own territory as well.
Instead of taking responsibility — yes, we started it, we are bombing, so what? — Moscow, like a frightened and confused teenager, tries to present its own strikes as ‘responses’… Responses to what?
No special intelligence is needed to engage elementary logic: no one was bombing Russia and no one was preparing to do so until Russia itself started the war.
What will happen next is quite clear: while Russia has been attacking with full force for a long time, using the same ‘Oreshnik’ for the third time already — Ukraine’s strikes will only intensify.
In 2022, Ukraine struck weaker than in 2023; in 2024 — weaker than in 2025; and now it is 2026, when sometimes Kyiv’s strikes already surpass Moscow’s in terms of the scale of damage inflicted.
War has its own inexorable logic of progression: Ukraine’s next strikes, the real retaliatory strikes, will be even more massive and powerful than they were at the beginning of the year.
And yes, Russians should be endlessly grateful to Ukrainians for how they are conducting this war. For example, with the same FP-5 type drones that carry a ton of explosives, striking the civilian population would not be difficult at all. And yes, Ukraine has this capability.
It has the capability, but Kyiv chooses not to take this path. And when the war ends, if I were in the Russians’ place, I would express gratitude and respect to Ukrainians precisely for this restraint.
But as long as the war continues, every Russian citizen must clearly understand that strikes from Ukraine will only increase, and there is only one party responsible for all of this — the Kremlin.
These are quite banal and obvious thoughts, but what can we do if Russian society continues to behave infantilely. The problem is that this infantilism is taking on a bloody form.”

RT @TreyYingst: Senior administration official says the Iran agreement will not be signed today, but indicated progress on a deal.

"If the Iranians make significant accommodations on the enrichment question then we will make significant accommodations on sanctions relief,” the official said.

On the nuclear issue, the current plan is to deal with the entire stockpile of enriched material.

"If you have a final deal where the Iranian are enriching, then you don't have a final deal,” the official added.

RT @vcdgf555: I can only believe that Iran will do everything in its power to re-arm and solidify its capabilities with regard to the Strait of Hormuz, backed with the lessons it gained from the conflict.

🔺 Top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader: U.S. is “trapped” with Hormuz, and will never return to the America of before

Mohsen Rezaei, who commanded the IRGC for 16 years — the longest tenure in the organization’s history — and currently serves as military adviser to Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, told Tasnim News that Iran has secured a historic strategic victory against the United States, as negotiations continue toward a deal to end the war.

🔹 “For the first time since World War II, America’s superpower status has collapsed. America after the ‘Ramadan War’ will never return to the America it was before. And we have brought about America’s decline in the Middle East.”

🔹 The U.S. military designed the recent battle to last in the most pessimistic scenario 15 days — and deployed forces accordingly. “After failing in the early days, they sought a unilateral ceasefire to rebuild their strength, but Iran’s strategy prevented their escape and the aggressors became trapped in the strategic snare of the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔹 “If the war expands from the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to the Sea of Oman, Bab al-Mandab, and the Indian Ocean, it will take on vast and uncontrollable dimensions. The enemies, understanding the end of this dark corridor, fear entering the war and have turned to the negotiating table.”

🔹 “Iran has strong legal and security justifications for its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. This management is not to block free trade, but to prevent insecurity and military campaigns.” - Drop Site

RT @NSTRIKE1231: ❗❗ 🇬🇪Occupied Samachablo, Georgia.

🇷🇺 Z-propagandist Anna Titsi, who was in the occupied territory of South Ossetia (Tskhinvali region) with a film crew to shoot a movie about Ossetians fighting against Ukraine, fell into the swollen Liakhvi River and was swept away by the current. This happened on the evening of May 21. Her dead body was found 35 kilometers from the place where she fell into the river.

Her colleague also fell into the Liakhvi with her, but was successfully pulled out(unfortunately). According to available sources, both were heavily intoxicated.

📌 According to Russian sources, the Tskhinvali separatist regime contacted the Georgian side via the “hotline” and requested assistance in locating the Russian propagandist, as they believe the current may have carried Titsi toward territory controlled by Tbilisi.
