‘Iran has decided to reject our demands’ – J.D. Vance

This here is exactly the problem with America. They demand, they impose, they enforce. They do not ‘negotiate’. They are not a good faith actor.

Iran won’t accept bullying. It will fight the Zionist-American alliance for another 10 years if it has to.

Trump has also ordered the U.S. Navy to seize any civilian vessels in international waters that have paid tolls to Iran.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump, in another Truth Social post:

‘Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz, and they knowingly failed to do so. This caused anxiety, dislocation, and pain to many people and Countries throughout the World. They say they put mines in the water, even though all of their Navy, and most of their "mine droppers," have been completely blown up. They may have done so, but what ship owner would want to take the chance?

There is great dishonor and permanent harm to the reputation of Iran, and what's left of their "Leaders," but we are beyond all of that. As they promised, they better begin the process of getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST! Every Law in the book is being violated by them.

I have been fully debriefed by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, on the meeting that took place in Islamabad through the kind and very competent leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan. They are very extraordinary men, and continuously thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a horrendous War with India. I always appreciate hearing that — The amount of Humanity spoken of is incomprehensible.

The meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night - Close to 20 hours. I could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters - IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS!

In many ways, the points that were agreed to are better than us continuing our Military Operations to conclusion, but all of those points don't matter compared to allowing Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people. My three Representatives, as all of this time went by, became, not surprisingly, very friendly and respectful of Iran's Representatives, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Aragchi, and Ali Bagheri, but that doesn't matter because they were very unyielding as to the single most important issue and, as I have always said, right from the beginning, and many years ago, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’

❗️Israel deploys AI, paid influence, and covert campaigns to shape global narrative on Palestine

Researchers and digital rights advocates warned this week of an expanding, state-backed effort to shape global narratives on Palestine, pointing to coordinated propaganda campaigns driven by Israel’s public diplomacy apparatus, according to a report from Middle East Eye. Speaking during a webinar hosted by the Global Alliance for Palestine, panelists described a sophisticated messaging ecosystem combining covert public relations operations, influencer networks, and tightly managed digital outreach in the wake of the genocide in Gaza.

At the center of these efforts is Israel’s national public diplomacy directorate, widely known as Hasbara, which speakers said has mobilized government ministries and private contractors to flood platforms with curated narratives. Investigations cited during the event pointed to secret campaigns and a project reportedly involving paid influencers, alongside significant state funding channeled through diplomatic and diaspora institutions to counter accusations of war crimes and reshape public opinion since October 2023.

Participants highlighted a shift toward data-driven influence, with targeted advertising, artificial intelligence, and opaque online campaigns amplifying messaging at scale. Researchers pointed to limited transparency around government-linked ads, while others underscored the role of open-source intelligence in exposing inconsistencies, verifying events on the ground, and challenging official claims. Despite concerns over algorithmic bias and content suppression, speakers noted that digital spaces have also enabled wider reach for Palestinian voices, signaling an intensifying battle over narrative control in the information age.

I can’t believe Trump decided to give up ‘Power Plant and Bridge Day’ for a much more boring ‘Naval Blockade’.

It seems the normies are finally catching on to the fact that 1971 was the year of peak everything. So, who's going to tell them what happened (and what's coming next)?

The UK says it will not take part in US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed earlier today that "the UK will send warships to help, and probably other countries will too."
