RT @BrettErickson28: Hi @GordonGChang! Respectfully, take 30 seconds to observe the actions of the United States towards China regarding secondary sanctions.

@SecScottBessent is toothless towards targeting China. We imposed secondary sanctions on the Hengli “teapot refinery” and what happened? The stock price dropped by 10%. Their primary owners? Still worth $7.7B and $7.3B

What happened after Trump’s summit with Xi? When boarding Air Force One, Trump indicated that he was thinking about removing sanctions against Hengli just a week after imposing them.

Sanction a Chinese bank? How long has it now been since Bessent sent that “threat letter” to the countries of China, Hong Kong, Oman, and the UAE threatening to impose secondary sanctions on banks that support Iran? 6 weeks?

At BEST, we would impose symbolic and toothless sanctions on 1 or 2 tiny regional banks which would do nothing to move the needle on China’s support of Iran. Trump has repeatedly indicated that we have no appetite to crack down in any meaningful way on China’s import of Iranian oil. How much Iranian oil is currently sitting in the Malaysian EOPL? 48M barrels? That’s $5B just in Malaysian waters alone!

Oh, what’s that? You want us to “crack down on road and rail routes”? How much oil do you think they’re exporting right now via land and rail? Pre-Blockade, Iran was exporting between 1.71M-1.84M barrels per day through the Strait. Iran, optimistically, is exporting 250k bpd via land routes. Those famous oil well shut-ins that Trump said would “explode” Iranian oil infrastructure? Anyone with a brain would realize Iran can lower oil production and increase internal refining capacity to meet domestic consumption rates. Kharg Island? Still has storage. Vessels inside the U.S. blockade line perimeter? 30M+ barrels of storage capacity.

Air routes out of Iran? Frankly, see: Zero political will to target China in any meaningful way.

Before putting forth ridiculous “finish the job” takes, it might be worth taking 30 seconds to do a modicum of research.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

First, we cut off all roads and rail lines so Iran cannot export oil over the land routes, and then we enforce a no-fly zone over the country so it cannot deliver products by air. This cuts off all their revenue. Next, we impose secondary sanctions on China and others doing business with Iran. Iran’s regime dies without cash. - Gordon G. Chang

The IDF revealed that Hezbollah operatives tried to interfere with operations at Lebanon's Qaraoun Dam earlier this week and were hit by airstrikes. The dam is Lebanon's biggest water source and a key piece of national infrastructure for energy and agriculture. The IDF said it holds the Lebanese state responsible for protecting the site from exploitation by Hezbollah.

RT @Schizointel: And you'll notice every time with these clown news cycles that it's always "unnamed sources" and the other important part to note from story is that allegedly we've come to an agreement to agree that we will talk more in the future about coming to an agreement, but no one's actually made a decision and still needs to be approved by leadership on both sides about whether or not we agree on the agreement to talk about making a agreement in the future.

Get ready for a clown news cycle after the latest Axios report that the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement.

Until the IRGC confirms, there’s nothing here yet. Even when Aragachi says something, it’s still not final.

The report was an intentional leak. - Open Source Intel

We passed Britain, Germany, Italy, everyone.

Netanyahu:

If you want tanks, aircraft, submarines, intelligence, and cyber capabilities, you need money.

And where will the money come from? ‘Let’s heavily tax the rich’? Thank you very much, everyone will flee from here.

Instead, we chose the opposite approach: free the economy and impose lower taxes on a much larger economic cycle.

That is how we generated the resources.

🇨🇳🇪🇺 China has reportedly delayed approvals for Airbus aircraft deliveries in an effort to pressure European regulators over the certification of Chinese-made COMAC passenger jets.

Chinese authorities held up the approval process for nearly 20 Airbus aircraft destined for China over recent months, contributing to Airbus recording its weakest first-quarter delivery figures since 2009.

The dispute comes as China seeks European certification for COMAC’s C919 aircraft, which directly competes with Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 jets in the global commercial aviation market.

‼️🇩🇪✈️ BIG | The Luftwaffe is considering modifying its A-400M into cruise missile carriers.

A single cargo plane could carry up to 36 Taurus cruise missiles. The missiles would be dropped from the back of the aircraft using a crane. The "bomber kit" can be added and removed quickly allowing the A-400M to retain its tarditional missions.

Several other A-400M users such as the UK or France could benefit from the same transformation allowing to deliver much larger missile salvoes.

Israeli reports say the IDF admits operations deep inside Lebanon face political restrictions, but says strikes in southern Lebanon, including north of the Litani, continue freely and have recently intensified. The IDF also says efforts are underway to separate Hezbollah from U.S.-Iran negotiations, though officials are unsure it will succeed. Senior officers warn the war cannot drag on for months, while stressing there is still an opportunity to reshape the security reality in northern Israel and further weaken Hezbollah.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: ❗️ 🇺🇦✈️🇸🇪 The agreement signed today between Sweden and Ukraine also includes the purchase of 20 Gripen E fighter jets in their most advanced configuration.
This acquisition will complement the earlier donation of Gripen C/D models and significantly strengthen Ukraine’s air capabilities with modern multirole aircraft.
This is a major development. The addition of 20 advanced Gripen E jets will provide Ukraine with high-quality European fighters featuring modern avionics, excellent sensors, and compatibility with long-range Meteor missiles. It represents both an immediate boost in combat capability and a long-term investment in Ukraine’s air force.
