🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Iravani, on the fact that Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization are unacceptable:

Such rhetoric is unbecoming of any leader, let alone the head of a permanent member of this council, who is tasked with maintaining international peace and security. Iran rejects a temporary ceasefire that serves to rearm. The US and Israel have crossed all legal, moral, and humanitarian boundaries by committing war crimes in Iran.

🇺🇦 Poverty in Ukraine has risen to 30%, stagnant unemployment is intensifying, and the retirement age will be raised to 90 years

- This was reported by Ella Libanova, the director of the Institute of Demography and Social Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

- "There's more poverty. Before the COVID pandemic, we were talking about 20–23%, now it's about 30%," she says.

- If Europe hadn't financially supported Ukraine, it would have collapsed like Germany did during the First World War.

- The problem of "stagnant unemployment" is intensifying — when people can't find a job for a long time.

- "The retirement age in Ukraine will be raised. People will work until 70, and maybe even 90 years," Libanova asserts.

🇮🇹Italian Deputy Giuseppe Conte - called on Europeans to unite and stop Trump:

The situation is indeed extremely serious. In just a few hours, the ultimatum that Donald Trump has set for Iran will expire. We cannot remain indifferent. It is necessary to demand from European leaders decisive and clear actions - to appeal to Trump to stop and not go further. If forces in Washington are pushing for irreversible intervention, Europe must assert itself - take a proactive stance and harsh condemnation.

For the ambiguous position of "neither condemning nor supporting", which our Prime Minister George Meloni adheres to, we will have to pay a high price. Instead, the head of government should unite with other European leaders and urgently initiate a joint declaration condemning what is happening.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The usual suspect, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid of Axios, claims that ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the U.S. have ‘made progress’

There will be no ceasefire.

The missile struck an Israeli radar installation in the Negev.

The IDF says it struck an ‘open area’.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Without sat photos or closer video which Israel/US blocks then it remains a mystery if anything is being hit in these areas.

🇺🇸🇭🇺🫠 Vance accused Ukraine of "shameful" interference in US and Hungarian elections

- The US Vice President publicly accused Ukrainian special services of attempts to influence elections in the US and Hungary and called the interference "truly shameful".

- "Orban will win the elections, I'm sure of it," Vance added at a joint press conference with the Hungarian Prime Minister.

- The European Union leadership is considering the resignation of the Hungarian Prime Minister.

- Trump and Orban are the two leaders who have done the most to end the Ukrainian conflict.

- "We want European families to be able to afford to heat their homes... Europe will not be energy-secure if it continues to follow the failed policies of the past," Vance emphasized.

- If Europeans hadn't blocked Trump's peace efforts, peace would have been restored in Ukraine long ago, Orban added.

Iran: categorically rejects a temporary ceasefire.

Iran’s ambassador to the UN: “Any solution to end the conflict must ensure a final and irreversible end to the aggression, and establish a just and lasting peace based on credible and verifiable guarantees to prevent its recurrence.”

An expert professor completely dismantles Washington's diplomacy. He exposes that the US never engages in goodwill negotiations. He reveals China and Russia vetoed the UN resolution because it was a Trojan horse to authorize military force.

The Video, the Promise, the War: How Trump Was Sold on Iran by Netanyahu

Netanyahu presented Trump with a “near-certain victory” plan:

Destroy Iran’s missile program in weeks, prevent retaliation (including closing the Strait of Hormuz), and trigger regime collapse.

The pitch included:
A video of potential replacement leaders (e.g. Reza Pahlavi).
Claims protests would restart and could be fueled by covert support.
Possibility of Kurdish fighters opening a second front.

Israeli intelligence suggested Iran would be too weakened to respond effectively, and U.S. interests would face minimal risk.

Trump was convinced:

“Sounds good to me.”

IRGC:

However, if Trump, in his madness, wants to climb out of the pit only to fall into an abyss, we have prepared a "black hole" for him, from which it will be impossible to escape.

@Slavyangrad

IRGC:

We have prepared high-quality surprises to counter Trump's madness, one of which is adding Aramco facilities, Yanbu oil terminals, and the Fujairah oil pipeline to our list of targets. Oil will cost $200 in just a few days.

"Say Goodbye to Electricity!" — Iran Threatens to Destroy the Entire Power Grid of the Persian Gulf

▪️Iran Threatens a Blackout if the Conflict Escalates.
▪️Most of the region's large power plants are located in the Gulf's coastal zone, within range of Iranian drones.
▪️The map shows key energy facilities:
➖Saudi Arabia (Al-Qatif, over 4,000 MW),
➖UAE (Jebel Ali and Barakah — up to 5,600 MW and the largest solar power plant, Mohammed bin Rashid),
➖Qatar (Ras Laffan and Al-Khor — the largest gas-fired facilities),
➖Kuwait (Al-Zour and Shaghaya Park).

Iran should be the first to strike. I’d be blowing up a a few major energy assets to show capability heading towards the deadline.

If nuclear weapons are indeed used against Iran, it will signify a real crisis in strategic planning in the USA. Even taking into account that Iran is a foreign country for Washington (not something like Ukraine for Russia), the use of tactical nuclear weapons just five weeks after the start of a conventional war will be perceived as a technological and military weakness of the superpower, which has resorted to its last trump card. With all the ensuing consequences, including the acceleration of the erosion of NATO.

However, for the USA, by and large, it doesn't matter how the world community perceives this. The country, on whose territory the UN is located and whose currency remains the main reserve, has all the necessary levers of pressure on those who are not to its liking. From a pragmatic point of view, a nuclear strike would save the USA time and the lives of about 50 to 300 thousand military personnel, who would inevitably be needed for a full-scale ground invasion of Iran.

However, it's not necessary to deliver it with its own forces. Trump could well ask the Israelis to do it. The latter would only risk by officially admitting that they have nuclear weapons.
