BREAKING:

🇭🇺 Orban has lost the elections in Hungary

He concedes election defeat

@Megatron_ron

🇺🇸🇮🇷 — The Wall Street Journal, citing officials: A second round of talks between Washington and Tehran may be held within days.

– The door to diplomacy remains open despite the hardline statements from Tehran and Washington.

The Strait of Hormuz has never been Iran's to close or restrict navigation through, the CEO of UAE state oil company ADNOC, Sultan al Jaber, said on X on Sunday.

He warned that any disruption would endanger global energy, food, and health security, adding that establishing such a precedent would be "dangerous and unacceptable. The world simply cannot afford it and must not allow it," he added.

Before you ask, he said this BEFORE Shlomo Pederast Trumpstein announced his blockade of the blockade. Arab petroleum monkeys just can't catch a break.

Rep. Tim Burchett spreads atrocity propaganda to justify war: "Iran just aren't good actors—they're not good people… They throw gay people off buildings; if a little girl wears makeup, they gouge her eyes out; if a little boy posts something on X, they hang him… These people are demonic."

"They're lying about their nuclear capabilities... As soon as they get the ability, they will launch a missile against Israel—they will cause WWIII. Trump is preventing that, and the price of gas is the cost we're having to pay right now, unfortunately."

The worse the war goes, the wilder the lies get.

BREAKING 🇨🇳⚡️🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷: China announces blockade of the strait of Hormuz and will from now on block any ship green lighted by the USA.
Maritime experts have pointed out that this is the first occurrence of a triple layered trilateral blockade in the history of mankind.
Ships running through the blockade will therefor face a blockade, an anti-blockade blockade followed by an counter-anti-blockade blockade. Good luck to all seafarers.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: About 15-20 vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 36 hours using the new Iranian-assigned shipping corridor and with IRGC permission after paying tolls

Most of the vessels were Chinese, Pakistani, Russian or Iranian.

Trump's "how badly can I fuck things up" tour rolls on.

🇨🇳 China has warned the US that it will ignore Trump's blockade and continue to send its tankers to Iran for oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun declared that China expects other nations not to interfere in its affairs, specifically citing its trade and energy ties with Tehran. This escalation follows President Donald Trump's announcement of a sweeping naval operation to "starve Iran of export revenue" after the collapse of high-stakes ceasefire negotiations in Islamabad.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

You know what? I believe him. He definitely is mentally challenged enough to think that. By the way, the "tweet" or whatever was deleted.

🇮🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦 The EU has set 27 conditions for the new Hungarian Prime Minister to unfreeze €35 billion in subsidies, — FT

- The main requirements are the unblocking of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine and the lifting of the veto on a package of sanctions against Moscow.

- The European Commission also expects rapid negotiations with Hungary on a dispute over migration legislation, for which Hungary is already paying a fine of €1 million per day.

- According to the Hungarian constitution, the country's president has 30 days to swear in the new parliament, and EU representatives are concerned that Orban may use this time to make legal or personnel changes that could affect Hungary's ability to carry out necessary reforms.
