Russia’s🇷🇺 Dmitry Medvedev:

‘Following the assassination of the Supreme Leader of Iran, there is no doubt that Iran will continue pursuing nuclear testing and will eventually acquire nuclear weapons.’

While this is a likely scenario, even if Iran chooses not to build nuclear weapons, other global south nations will.

The lesson the US has taught the world through successive administrations is that the agreements they sign are not worth the paper they are written on…

Signing an agreement with the US, or not having a deterrent is a fatal mistake.

Gaddafi ended his WMD program and was assassinated in a NATO regime change war.

Saddam Hussein had no deterrent and Iraq was destroyed.

Iran signed the JCPOA, which Trump ripped up in his first term, and then launched a war on Iran with Israel killing Khamenei in his second term.

Venezuela had no deterrent and had its President kidnapped.

The only middle power enemy that Washington has dared not to touch is North Korea🇰🇵.

Kim Jong Un was labeled as ‘crazy’ and ‘rocket man’ for pursuing full-speed development of a nuclear arsenal, the lesson that the US has taught the world is that Kim Jong Un’s strategy was the correct one.

Another example of the genius foreign policy of Washington which wastes hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money, destabilises entire regions, and eventually leads to blowback.

The blowback now won’t be refugee waves and terrorism, in a few years the blowback could be nuclear.

🇮🇷 Iran War for 🛢OIL? Trump Drops the Mask

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump said, adding that such a move would mean “we’d have to be there for a while.”

This is not a strategy. This is extraction politics — open greed for oil and control. No more talk of “security,” “stability,” or “de-escalation.” Just take the oil.

If the US thinks just stealing Iran’s oil will be an easy task with boots on the ground, it should remember how its occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam ended.

🚨THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR ON IRAN: US🇺🇸 CORRUPTION?

Afshin Rattansi: ‘Traders placed $580 million in oil bets ahead of Trump’s social media post…

You live in a CORRUPT country bankrolled by the military-industrial complex and bankrolled by massive oil bets that could be done in this way which ultimately will lead to the end of the petrodollar. It’s all about money.’

Obama’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joel Rubin: ‘I don’t like corruption. If there is clearly, and I think hopefully when the Democrats take the House, at least there will be investigations in the questions about all these issues related to contracts and whatnot. But I don’t really, I don’t play stock in conspiracy theory.’

Afshin: ‘So you really believe that the Omani foreign minister, the British National Security advisor, they’re all talking nonsense and there was no deal on the table and they had to do it because it’s all about nuclear talks?’

Rubin: ‘I do not believe that there is a corruption angle that makes us decide that we are not going to listen to the Omanis or the British.

And what they said after the fact and even maybe during it may have been correct, may not have been correct. I don’t know. I wasn’t in the room.

But I’ll tell you who was in the room, the Americans and Iranians together. And there was no deal, and there was no agreement, and this was not like some new thing, we’re talking about 20 years of negotiations.

To the question of corruption, look, we always have to root out corruption. I mean, I have a feeling that the Islamic Republic leaders are billionaires sitting on massive wealth that they’ve stolen from the Iranian people.’

Afshin: ‘Sorry, Joel, even if that was true, and your Iranian-American friends are telling you it is, that wouldn’t justify the corruption on the other side. So I don’t see the relevance of it.’

Donald Trump previously told the truth on regime change wars:

‘We don’t fight to win. We’ll stay in a country for 15 years, just bomb the hell out of everybody, make everybody miserable, nobody knows why we’re there, wars that never end.’

The problem is Trump believes he is now fighting the war on Iran ‘to win’. The same mistake Presidents made for decades previously.

The neocon, whose solution for everything is starting wars, have sold Trump a strategy based on completely unrealistic assumptions that have fallen apart within weeks…

Now the neocons around Trump are convincing him to flirt with the idea of boots on the ground, which always starts as limited, and results in a bloody quagmire.

This is exactly how the Vietnam quagmire started; a small contingent of troops, that then turns into a full-scale invasion, that led to the deaths of 58,220 US personnel, and killed up to an estimated 3 million people.

In years to come, after midterms that are set to be disastrous for midterms, a cratered economy, a depressed stock market, and mounting US casualties, Trump will realise he fell for the same nonsensical assumptions that previous US Presidents fell for.

Trump spent the 2016 campaign calling George W. Bush’s Iraq War a stupid war…now he finds himself stuck in his own stupid war.

In case you thought international law still mattered, here’s the White House shrugging off committing more war crimes in the war on Iran:

REPORTER: Under international law, striking civilian infrastructure like that is generally prohibited. Why is the president threatening what would amount to potentially a war crime?

LEAVITT: Look, the president has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime that their best move is to make a deal or else

REPORTER: Which of those objectives would destroying a desalination plant most help?

Russia’s🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Lavrov:

‘We are in the middle of reshaping of the world order that will hopefully lead to the formation of a stable and fair multipolar world.

Right now, this restructuring looks more like disruption. The fight for power across the world is fierce.’

Without defence of the new order, and solidarity between rising powers, the multipolar project remains vulnerable to US wars of aggression.

🇺🇸Washington Normalises KILLING as Policy

💬'Some of the Iran’s previous leaders are now no longer on planet Earth because they lied to the United States,' Trump’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, adding, “they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to the president.'

They were killed not for deception, but for defiance — for daring to place sovereignty above submission.

For decades, the US has cloaked coercion in the language of “order” and “civilisation”, while tearing nations apart, fuelling instability, and calling it strategy.

Let’s drop the pretence.

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s domination. Not leadership, but enforcement.

And the message is unmistakable: fall in line, or be erased.

🇺🇸War Secretary Pete Hegseth says regime change HAS occurred in Iran

$2 billion dollars a day paid by the US taxpayer to replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei…

And to skyrocket gas prices, and tank the global economy.

The great successes of neocon foreign policy.

And there you have it, the true essence of AMERICA FIRST™️🇺🇸

Republicans are considering cuts to the healthcare budget, which would leave hundreds of thousands without healthcare, to pay for the war on Iran.

We’re back to full-scale neoconservatism: telling Americans there’s no money to pay for their healthcare while they get sick and die, to pay for the military-industrial complex’s killing and destruction thousands of miles away.

America First has more nails hammered into its coffin every single day, with Donald Trump completing his transformation from fake anti-establishment, pro-peace candidate, to a reincarnated George W. Bush.

Marco Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.”

The US🇺🇸 accounts for 35-40% of global military spending, and spends more than approximately the next 9 most powerful nations combined.

The US has pretty much zero high-speed rail, compared to China’s 50,000+ KM high-speed rail network.

China is the factory of the world with increasing manufacturing capabilities and booming electrification…

The US’ electrification has stagnated, and many states are deindustrialised shells of their former selves with their best days behind them.

Complete tone-deaf lack of self-awareness.

Long Queue at 🇮🇱 Israeli Border: Are Israeli Citizens LOSING Faith?

As airports shut and reports emerge of Israelis queueing at the Egyptian border to leave, the reality on the ground is cutting through the rhetoric.

A pompous Netanyahu may beat the drums of war, cloaking escalation as “national security”, while Israelis, the vast majority of which have supported Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza and the bombing of several countries in the region, now panic and attempt to flee the consequences of Netanyahu’s religious extremist campaign of death and destruction. 

Russia’s🇷🇺 Ambassador to the UN SLAMS Israel for deliberately killing journalists in Lebanon🇱🇧 to stop the world from knowing the truth about the IDF’s crimes amid the ongoing invasion and occupation of Lebanon

🚨AFSHIN RATTANSI: MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE LIARS

‘There’s no doubt that so-called mainstream media owned and linked to NATO nation power, lies deliberately. I could give you a huge list of journalists that I know to be liars.

On the other hand, there are many more who are utterly stupid and who simply believe the press releases handed out by authority.

And I suppose there are also those who are fundamentally degenerate, arguably evil, because what they promote in their articles or on-camera pieces ultimately leads to consequences like the school in Minab, Iran, which Congressman Dennis Kucinich referenced, where 168 girls were incinerated by red-hot titanium from Trump’s Tomahawk missiles.’

UK🇬🇧 Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer:

‘This is not our war. We will not be drawn into the conflict. That is not in our national interest.’

Then why are the US’ B1 and B2 bombers alleged to be using RAF bases in the war on Iran?

US🇺🇸 ground attack aircraft land at UK🇬🇧 base

12 x A-10C Thunderbolt IIs are spotted at RAF Lakenheath

Starmer declares the war on Iran is ‘not our war’ in public, and in private, allows US warplanes used in a war of aggression in breach of Article 51, to land at UK bases.

More daily lying from the charisma vacuum.

Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

It should not be forgotten that every drop of blood shed in the war will serve as a lifeline prolonging Netanyahu’s political survival.

ICYMI: Israel’s Ambassador to Australia🇦🇺 defends the apartheid law enacted by Israel to use the death penalty only against Palestinian prisoners.

Palestinian prisoners, who are tried in Israeli military courts, face a 99% conviction rate.

Approximately 9350 Palestinian prisoners are currently held hostage in Israeli occupation prisons. Approximately 350 of these are children.

Israel is the only country that systematically prosecutes children in military courts.

Israel has legalised industrial slaughter of Palestinians in its dungeons and concentration camps.

As the US-Israeli war on Iran continues to wreak havoc on the global economy, remember that the Israel lobbyists in Washington who pushed for this war and chaos, did so in the interests of this genocidal apartheid state.

The mother of IDF Captain Noam Mamdoni says she refused to open the door to receive news from officers about the death of her son in the invasion and occupation of Lebanon🇱🇧. He was killed fighting Lebanese Hezbollah.

The last time Israel occupied Lebanon, they faced a bloody and disastrous quagmire, where despite overwhelming firepower, Lebanese Hezbollah was eventually able to force Israel to withdraw after the occupation became too costly to continue.

Netanyahu has now made the same mistake as previous Israeli Prime Ministers. 1200 Israeli soldiers were killed between 1982-2000 in Lebanon. If Netanyahu tries to permanently occupy Lebanon, it goes without saying that more Israeli soldiers will die.

Donald Trump has reportedly said he is ‘STRONGLY CONSIDERING’ pulling the US out of NATO, after NATO countries refused to join Donald Trump’s war on Iran and appeal for NATO navies to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force.

The real truth about NATO is now laid bare: it serves as nothing but Washington’s primary instrument of subjugating Europe into total loyalty and uncritical vassalage.

Now with the US’ position as the unipolar superpower under threat, with the US lashing out militarily in all directions in an unhinged attempt to save its own hegemony, the war on Iran is so blatantly against their own interests that they cannot bring themselves to loyally support the US.

Without the US, NATO is in effect, dead. While many may paint this as just a victory for Russia🇷🇺, it could finally be an opportunity for Europe to diversify its security relationships, and finally come up with a foreign policy that actually serves its interests, rather than Washington’s…

It remains to be seen whether the leaders of Europe and their perpetually cowardly foreign policy establishments will actually take this opportunity to break free from being under the vassalage of an unhinged rogue state.

Given recent history, this may be optimistic.
