🇮🇷/🇨🇳 Qalibaf: Iran sees ties with China as more than political or economic cooperation

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Iran views its relations with China as extending beyond political and economic cooperation, describing the relationship as an interaction between two major Asian civilizations.

“In the current international environment, where the world is facing complex challenges and rapid changes, cooperation between major civilizations and the Global South has taken on particular importance,” Qalibaf wrote.

Qalibaf said the Iranian people had demonstrated the depth of their power and resilience following what he described as the “third imposed war” against Iran, adding that the country’s resistance would usher in a new phase in Iran’s relations with friendly countries.

The Islamic Republic of Iran hopes to reach bilateral mechanisms with China within the framework of the 25-year cooperation agreement, Qalibaf said. Such mechanisms, he added, could deepen and accelerate bilateral engagement while also providing an opportunity to help shape a new regional order.

Iran believes its relations with China are not limited to political or economic cooperation, Qalibaf said. Rather, he described them as an example of interaction between two major Asian civilizations that could serve as a model for dialogue among civilizations, respect for differences and cooperation based on shared interests.

“In the current international system, where the world is facing complex challenges and rapid changes, cooperation between major civilizations and the Global South has taken on particular importance,” Qalibaf wrote.

He said Iran and the People’s Republic of China could use the capacities of their legislative institutions to support multilateralism, greater fairness in international relations, respect for cultural diversity and stronger cooperation among independent countries.

🇹🇭🌊 Bangkok declares a citywide flood disaster as thousands flee their homes.

Days of torrential rain have submerged neighbourhoods, roads and vehicles across Thailand’s capital, forcing residents to evacuate as floodwaters overwhelm parts of the city.

Nearly 4,900 people have been moved to shelters, while around 52,000 households have been affected. Some areas recorded more than 330mm of rain between Thursday and Sunday.

Floodwaters are beginning to recede, but several neighbourhoods remain inundated. Authorities are continuing drainage and relief operations as residents face damaged homes, disrupted transport and lost livelihoods.

🇮🇷🇶🇦🇺🇸 Iran-US talks continue through Qatari mediators as the Hormuz dispute remains unresolved.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Qatari mediators in New York to discuss Tehran’s proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He said Qatar would take the latest ideas to Washington, with Tehran awaiting a US response.

Iran’s seven-day proposal calls for the release of frozen Iranian funds, sanctions relief and an end to the US naval blockade, followed by the reopening of Hormuz and renewed negotiations on the nuclear issue.

Washington, however, says any agreement must address Iran’s nuclear programme, with the two sides still divided over the timing and sequence of commitments.

IRGC Spokesperson:

When we say "Death to America," we mean death to the policies of killing, plundering and bloodshed — death to those who hold such ideas.

The reason they consider the IRGC a terrorist organization is that the IRGC stands in the way of plundering in Iran and the region.

Is the United States deliberately trying to BREAK BRICS by strangling its members economically?

We just published this interview with Professor Muhammad Marandi (University of Tehran, former Iranian nuclear negotiator), and he makes some BOLD claims that I can't stop thinking about:

🔴 "An attack on Iran is an attack on the entire multipolar world."
🔴 He says BRICS and the SCO are stepping in where the UN has FAILED — and that Western media is "irredeemable" and controlled by oligarchs.
🔴 He reveals his personal Facebook and Instagram accounts were DELETED for posting about chemical weapons used against Iran — weapons he says the West helped Saddam Hussein obtain.
🔴 And here's the kicker: He says the US is choking Brazil and India through fertilizer and sulfur trade routes — a third of global fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Three fronts. One target. Is the US trying to collapse BRICS from within?
Professor Marandi also drops this truth bomb:
"They see themselves as exceptional, above the law. They're the adult. We're the child. If they punish us, it's because we're a threat. Something is wrong with US — never with them."

Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/rvEI_IWt6TQ

💬 Now I need YOUR honest take:
1️⃣ Do you think the US is deliberately targeting BRICS economies?
2️⃣ Is alternative media really being controlled too — or is it our only hope?
3️⃣ If BRICS built its own social media platform, would YOU join it?

Drop your thoughts below. Let's get this conversation started.

🇺🇸🤡 TRUMP'S "LITTLE EXCURSION": A War That Killed Thousands, Destroyed Nations, and Still Isn't Over

The US president just called the Iran war a "little excursion." He says the war will be "over very soon." And he's renaming "fake news" to "artificial news." The empire's leader is unravelling.

🗣️ On the war: "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and they're failing very badly. That'll be over with very, very soon."

🛢️ On the "excursion": "Prices are going to be tumbling down just like they were before I had to make that little excursion to the Islamic Republic of Iran. A very good excursion. They'll be writing books about it."

🚨 Alternative Information Summit in session! 🚨

Straight from Stanislav Krapivnik's Telegram: the "Fantastic Four" of the multipolar world gathered around one table!

🦸‍♂️ Prof. Glenn Diesen: Interlocked hands, flashing an unusually bright (and slightly suspicious) smile.

🦸‍♂️ Stanislav Krapivnik: The man behind the camera, documenting the chaos for TG.

🦸‍♂️ Prof. Lorenzo Pacini (Think BRICS team): The young mastermind keeping this rowdy bunch of analysts in check.

🦸‍♂️ Ian Proud: Flashing the victory sign ✌️—probably just diplomatically ordering two desserts.

Are they drafting a new BRICS manifesto or fighting over the bill? 🧐🍕

🇮🇷 IRAN TO US: Nuclear Talks Only After Blockade Lifted – Tehran Dictates Terms

Iran has made its position crystal clear: no nuclear discussions until the US ends its blockade and resolves the Strait of Hormuz issue. The seven-point proposal contains zero nuclear concessions.

🗣️ An Iranian diplomatic source told RIA Novosti: "Iran will consider the nuclear issue only after the first stage of agreements related to the Strait of Hormuz, the economic blockade, and the complete end of the war."

📜 The seven-point proposal sent to Washington contains no nuclear obligations and does not include "opening" the nuclear file under current conditions.

🚢 Foreign Minister Araghchi had proposed a seven-day plan to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the naval blockade and oil export restrictions.

❌ Trump rejected it. Iran is still waiting for a final response through mediators.

🇷🇺🗣️ LAVROV: German Officials Are Running to Catch a Train That's Already Left

Russia's Foreign Minister has exposed the panic behind Europe's militarization drive – German officials desperate not to "miss the train" of decisions on the Ukrainian conflict.

🗣️ On EU/NATO rhetoric: "The constant refrain that NATO will expand and incorporate the Ukrainian regime, that Russia is the eternal enemy, and that in three years we'll be at war."

⚠️ On behind-closed-doors meetings: "If the goal is simply to echo these mantras behind closed doors, without the press, so that Russia will supposedly explain that all of this is actually true – that is a futile, I would say harmful, endeavor."

🧠 "It is very sad that such figures from the EU and NATO are taking on the role of mouthpieces for this European scheme."

· ⚖️ Crown Consent & Royal Prerogative – the monarchy's quiet veto over Scottish laws

· 🌊 Crown Estate Scotland – who really controls the seabed, energy, and territorial wealth
