🔴 China gains strategic advantage from Iran war – leaked US intel

A confidential US intelligence assessment, cited by WaPo, says Beijing is benefiting diplomatically, economically, and militarily while the US bleeds resources.

♦️ Weapons sales: China sold arms to Gulf countries during Iranian attacks.

♦️ Energy lifeline: Helped nations manage shortages after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz.

♦️ US depletion: War drained missile and defense stockpiles – raising concerns over readiness for a Taiwan conflict.

♦️ Information war: Beijing studies US operations and uses anti‑war messaging to paint America as destabilizing.

Analysts say the conflict boosts China's global influence while eroding US standing with allies.

While Washington is fighting, Beijing is watching – and winning.

🔴The "90th-Minute" Government: Al-Zaidi Confirmed as Iraq’s PM with an "Externally-Pleasing" Agenda Amid Media Blackout

BAGHDAD | In a move that has sparked widespread controversy, the Iraqi Parliament voted to grant confidence to Mr. Ali Falih Al-Zaidi and his "partial" cabinet (14 ministerial portfolios), amid deep questions regarding the nature and timing of his selection. Despite the significance of the event, Parliament defied legal norms by withholding the session’s broadcast. Meanwhile, Al-Zaidi has remained absent from any direct media appearances, relying solely on written statements and tweets—a move that has reinforced impressions of the new Prime Minister’s weak "communicative performance."

Key Highlights of the Sovereign Landscape:

* An External Agenda: The government program focused on "restricting arms to the state" and providing "security guarantees for foreign companies." Observers view these items as a direct response to Western demands (specifically Washington) aimed at neutralizing missile and drone capabilities. This is seen as an attempt to strip domestic factions of their "power cards" rather than focusing on tribal weaponry or organized crime.
* Media Seclusion: Initial leaks have highlighted Al-Zaidi’s lack of media training, explaining his strategy of "fleeing into silence" and avoiding direct press confrontations or public speeches thus far.
* A Divided Government: Parliament adjourned after postponing the vote on 9 ministerial portfolios, leaving the new government to face the challenge of balancing domestic political pressures with the dictates of "strategic partners" abroad.

Conclusion:
The Observer believes that Al-Zaidi’s government was born out of a last-minute compromise under intense international pressure, placing it under intense public scrutiny and making it a source of concern. The critical question remains: Will Al-Zaidi truly be a Prime Minister for Iraq, or will his role be confined to executing what has been planned behind the scenes?

🔴Naval Dominance in the Persian Gulf Coincides with Trump’s Presence in Beijing

The Persian Gulf | While Donald Trump is in Beijing for official talks, Iran has demonstrated its field control over the world’s primary energy artery by activating the "Iranian Management Protocol." The Revolutionary Guard Naval Forces announced that 30 vessels (mostly Chinese) have crossed the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours, after obtaining official permits and adhering to the security regulations established by Tehran.

* At the height of the "Ramadan War" clashes, the passage of ships such as ROYAL H and TREND demonstrates that Iran guarantees trade security for its strategic allies and provides them with a secure corridor.

* The timing of this transit, coinciding with Trump’s visit, sends a clear message that the keys to regional security are in Tehran's hands and that American pressure has failed to obstruct Iran-China cooperation.

* This move practically proves that the management of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—contrary to international claims—is conducted solely through the approval and direct supervision of Iran.

🔴Iran Begins Allowing Chinese Ships to Transit Through the Strait of Hormuz

🔽Iran has begun allowing a number of Chinese vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after reaching understandings with China regarding Iranian management protocols for the strategic waterway.

🔹The Iranian news agency Fars News Agency quoted an informed Iranian source as saying: “The decision came as an initiative from the Islamic Republic of Iran, following communications and follow-ups conducted by the Chinese Foreign Minister and the Chinese ambassador in Tehran, with the aim of facilitating the passage of Chinese vessels based on the deep relations and strategic partnership between the two countries.”

⚪️The Iranian source added that both sides reached an understanding allowing the transit of a number of Chinese ships requested by Beijing, provided they comply with Iranian protocols governing the management of the waterway. The source noted that transit operations had already begun last night.

📄Fars News Agency stated that this step comes as part of Iran’s “organized and intelligent management” of the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions and developments related to navigation and energy in the region.

🤔According to experts cited by the Iranian agency, Tehran’s reliance on internal protocols to regulate maritime traffic could undermine attempts to use the strait as an external political pressure tool, while also strengthening Iran’s position in managing one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors.

🌕Meanwhile, in the same context, the Iranian news agency Tasnim News Agency revealed that 30 ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz under the supervision of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from last night until this morning.

🔴Negotiating Under Fire: The Washington Trap and the "New 17 May" Agreement


✍️Analytical Overview:

🖊As the third round of high-level talks concludes in Washington (May 14-15, 2026), the Lebanese official delegation, led by Presidential Envoy Simon Karam, faces a critical juncture. While Beirut demands a permanent ceasefire and the implementation of Resolution 1701, the Trump administration and the Netanyahu government are pushing for a "Security Arrangement" that mirrors the failed May 17, 1983, accord. 


🔘Critical Geopolitical Data:

👌 The Military Gap: Despite the massive destruction in the South and East, Israel has failed to establish a stable "buffer zone." Since the Iranian-Israeli war ignited on February 28, 2026, the Israeli military has faced a war of attrition, failing to secure the return of 100,000+ settlers to the north.
👌 The Washington Dossier: The Lebanese delegation presented a dossier documenting 2,896 deaths (including 589 women, children, and medics) and the total destruction of dozens of border villages by Israeli bulldozers. 
👌 The Political Schism: While President Joseph Aoun and PM Nawaf Salam seek a sovereign security deal, the Axis of Resistance views these direct talks—the highest level since 1983—as a "free concession" to a bogged-down enemy. 


🔰Axis of Resistance Perspective:

🤔From the resistance viewpoint, Washington is attempting to achieve through "Diplomatic Extortion" what the IDF could not achieve on the ground. By bypassing national consensus and negotiating while Israeli strikes continue—killing over 400 people during the current "truce" alone—the official Lebanese state risks stripping the country of its primary deterrent: the Resistance. The goal is clear: to decouple the Lebanese front from the regional struggle and force a "security surrender" that turns the Lebanese Army into a border guard for the occupation.

🔴"Israeli" Analyst: Netanyahu Exposed Our Most Important Strategic Ally Against Iran


🤔Ben Caspit, an analyst for Ma'ariv, launched a fierce attack on Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, criticizing his disclosure of a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates during the war against Iran. Caspit described Netanyahu as "not sober-minded."
In an article, Ben Caspit wrote: "Benjamin Netanyahu's supporters usually ask, at the beginning or end of a discussion: 'Okay, but who can replace him?' There are many answers to this question, but the correct one this morning is: He can be replaced by someone who does not expose our most important strategic ally in the region in the face of Iran; by someone who does not boast and officially confirm a visit to the UAE during a war with Iran; and by someone who does not cause massive damage to our interests and theirs just to reap short-term media gain or distract from the early election schedule and similar trivialities."
He added: "Israeli prime ministers hold secret meetings all the time—with leaders, counterparts, foreign security agencies, and various entities where silence is appropriate. 'Sober' Israeli prime ministers do not leak news of these meetings, so as not to harm the interests of Israel and its partners, and to allow such contacts to continue in the future."
He continued: "As for Benjamin Netanyahu, he is not a sober prime minister. From his perspective, his interests precede those of the state. He knows that revealing his arrival in the UAE during a war between Israel and Iran will cause massive, unimaginable damage to our ally. No one knows this better than him. No one. Yet, on Wednesday evening, the Prime Minister's Office officially confirmed the visit, and the 'useful idiot' on duty, Ziv Agmon, even bragged that 'the Sheikh himself took Netanyahu in his car to the palace.'"
🌕Ben Caspit asserted: "This man is unfit for office. He has been for a long time. Even if the news of the visit was leaked, the Prime Minister's Office should have ignored it, not commented, or even denied it. He will surely claim he is incapable of lying, but the problem is no one will believe him—not even himself. Why did he do it? To stop talk of moving up the elections? To shift the agenda away from the infuriating negotiations he is conducting regarding the conscription evasion law? What does it matter? The point is he committed an act that must not be committed—one that indicates recklessness, incompetence, and a loss of direction."
He concluded: "The UAE is located a stone's throw from Iran. It is a small country that lacks the capacity to confront the Islamic Republic. Our relations with it are public, but a prime minister's visit there during a war with Iran is a move bordering on treason. Netanyahu's confirmation forced the UAE to officially deny the visit, at a time when Abbas Araghchi was already threatening the UAE and speaking of 'serious consequences' for this act of betrayal. Yes, this is the man managing our lives here."

🔘So much for “checks and balances.”

🔴 Araqchi: Uranium issue has reached a deadlock... Consultations with Putin regarding the enriched stockpile

💬 New Delhi – In decisive statements made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi during a press conference in the Indian capital, New Delhi, on Friday (May 15, 2026), he revealed for the first time that the nuclear file has reached a critical stage in negotiations with Washington, confirming a "deadlock" in this regard.

📌 Key highlights from the Foreign Minister's statements:

🔹 Agreement with Washington on postponement:
Araqchi stated that the issue of the enriched uranium stockpile has reached a deadlock due to its extreme technical and political complexities, explaining: "We reached a conclusion with the Americans that since we have hit a deadlock on this specific matter, it is best to postpone its review to later stages of the negotiations."

🔹 Meeting with Putin and the Russian proposal:
The head of Iranian diplomacy referred to his recent meetings in Moscow, confirming that he discussed the fate of Iran's uranium during a direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Araqchi expressed appreciation for the Russian proposals, while emphasizing that the final decision on this matter must be made within the context of comprehensive negotiations.

🔹 Criticism of Trump's contradictory stances:
Referring to Tehran receiving messages regarding Washington's desire for dialogue, Araqchi criticized the lack of stability in US positions, saying: "Contradictory messages from the United States create complications; their officials' tweets today differ from yesterday. The Islamic Republic absolutely does not trust the United States, and everything must be clarified precisely before any agreement."

🔹 Denial of immediate removal of uranium:
The Minister also clarified that the issue of removing uranium from Iranian territory is not on the agenda at the current time, stressing that Iran continues to adhere to its principled positions.

🔴 Brief Analysis: A Diplomatic Shift Under the Stakes of Deterrence

⬅️ Official Shift in Tehran's Stance: Abbas Araqchi's statements regarding negotiating on uranium completely contradict what Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announced 10 days ago. This indicates the failure of the "de-linking files" strategy (separating the war file from the nuclear file), forcing Iran to accept nuclear compromise.

🔽 Deadlock Over the "Price": Postponing the uranium file to later stages means that both parties have not reached an agreement regarding the "scale of mutual concessions." Trump demands a 20-year suspension, while Iran conditions it on the complete lifting of the blockade and sanctions.

🌕 The Russian Role: Confirming talks with Putin regarding uranium reinforces the long-standing "stockpile outsourcing" hypothesis. It is likely that Russia proposed transferring the 60% enriched uranium stockpile to its territory to dispel Washington's concerns without forcing Iran to destroy it. Araqchi's gratitude for the Russian proposal shows that Tehran is considering this option as an "honorable diplomatic exit."

⚪️White_circle Absence of National Oversight: These fateful decisions are being made behind closed doors at a time when the Iranian Parliament has not effectively convened since the outbreak of the war, meaning a total absence of oversight or transparency before the public and its representatives.

🔻 Vital Point (The Issue of Deterrence):
👌 Everyone realizes that removing the uranium stockpile from the country will significantly increase the probability of a nuclear strike on Iran in the next phase of the war (the occurrence of which is highly probable). The enriched uranium stockpile is the most critical tool for deterring threats and ensuring state survival; if Iran loses this stockpile, the opposing side will move with greater audacity to launch harsher, or even nuclear, attacks without fear of a proportional Iranian response.

🔴 A Soft Coup in Baghdad: Background on Parliamentary Tension Over Security Ministries

📍 Baghdad - Special Report:

🔽 The Iraqi Parliament witnessed a dramatic shift yesterday after the new Prime Minister, Ali Al-Zaidi, succeeded in passing only 14 ministers of his government cabinet, while sharp disagreements left 9 ministerial portfolios vacant, led by the sovereign Ministries of Interior and Defense. The charged atmosphere inside the dome did not stop at political debate, but escalated into altercations and physical shoving among MPs following mutual vetoes on the proposed names. Shiite forces close to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/Hashd) and Nouri al-Maliki sought to secure an allied figure for the Ministry of Interior and choose a flexible Sunni name for the Ministry of Defense (from the Azm Coalition), which was met with categorical rejection, leading to the adjournment of the session without completing the security ministries.

🔘 This parliamentary deadlock triggered a wave of rapid reactions today. Falih al-Fayyadh (Head of the PMF) officially announced the withdrawal of his bloc and MPs from Al-Sudani's political coalition supporting the government. This has placed Al-Zaidi's nascent government in an early legitimate and political dilemma, making it appear "paralyzed" before it even begins.

🔘 Concurrently with this split, the most prominent stance came from Mohammad Naji, the political advisor to the Badr Organization, who described what happened in the session as a clear attempt to execute a "soft coup" and hijack the political process.

🔘 The real danger now lies in the fact that leaving the Ministries of Interior and Defense suspended could open the door for passing new figures backed and accepted by Washington in the future. This would mean initiating the implementation of strict international conditions under soft slogans such as "integrating the Hashd" and "restricting weapons to the state"—which resistance factions view as an existential threat to their entity and an attempt to strip them of their security and financial influence through the gateway of the new government.

🤔 This latest development strikes at the core of the cohesion of the "Coordination Framework" and the Shiite house, which has long tried to appear as a solid and unified bloc in the face of crises. Today, the Shiite component is clearly divided into two camps:

🖊 A financial and economic camp including (Al-Zaidi, Al-Sudani, and a faction of Asa'ib), which sees the necessity of appeasing America to avoid sanctions and rescue the economy.

🔽 A conservative traditional wing represented by the "Framework hawks" such as (Al-Maliki, Al-Amiri, and Al-Fayyadh), which views this concession as a direct exclusion of its political and security influence and a stripping of its historical power centers.

📄 This sharp and public division over the sharing of influence could open the door in the future to deeper and more dangerous tensions on the Iraqi street than a mere fistfight inside the halls of parliament.

🔴 Summary of the Islamic Resistance's Field Operations (Friday 15-05-2026)

🤔 In response to the occupation's violations of the ceasefire and its attacks on civilians, the Resistance executed 33 military operations, detailed as follows:

🔴 The FBI Announces the Arrest of an Iraqi Faction Leader in an Overseas Operation... Questions Arise Over the Nature of the Accusations

💳 Washington – Agencies:
✌️ The US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced in a joint statement the arrest of "Mohammad Baqir Al-Saadi," a leader in the "Ashab al-Yamin" group linked to the Iraqi Kata'ib Hezbollah, and his transfer to New York. According to official information, the operation was executed with direct coordination led by "Tom Barrack," the US Ambassador to Turkey.

🔘 Heavy US Accusations
🤔 The Public Prosecution in New York leveled heavy charges against Al-Saadi, claiming he managed and coordinated approximately 18 operations in Europe and Canada. The indictment includes planning attacks against targets and centers in several Western capitals—accusations the US side views as an attempt to revive the factions' external operations, though they legally remain allegations that have not yet been ruled upon by the court.

✍️ An Analysis of the Attributed Operations
🌕 Despite the gravity of the charges in the US indictment, security observers note the specific nature of the operations attributed to the group, which were characterized by a limited style of execution compared to classic military operations:

⚪️ Washington attributes to the group an incident involving the burning of ambulances belonging to a medical center in London, though the incident at the time of its occurrence did not witness any clear or documented adoption by independent sources.

🔽 The "Ashab al-Yamin" group claimed responsibility for a knife attack in London, but the method of the announcement raised questions; the group did not publish any of its own visual materials, instead merely placing its logo in a primitive manner over surveillance camera footage circulated by global media outlets.

🔘 Political and Field Dimensions

📌 Observers believe that the significant media focus on this case by FBI Director "Kash Patel" carries political dimensions aimed at pressuring European capitals to adopt firmer stances.
However, the true weight of the operation is primarily linked to the activities of Al-Saadi and his group within the Iraqi arena and their field proximity to Kata'ib Hezbollah, which made them a pursued target under the cover of "combating transnational threats."

🔴 The Baghdad Paradox: Welcoming the General of "Blood" Amid Absolute Official Silence over the Kidnapping of an Iraqi Citizen

🖊While the Iraqi government and its official institutions remain completely silent—failing to issue any judicial or political response regarding the US Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) kidnapping of an Iraqi citizen (Mohammad Baqir Al-Saadi) outside his country's borders under the guise of accusations topped by his links to legitimate resistance factions in Iraq—one of the largest American war generals, whose hands are most stained with the blood of Iraqis, is being received in Baghdad.
The reception of retired General David Petraeus by the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan, along with thanking him for his "efforts," represents a stark paradox. How can the man who led the machinery of destruction and espionage in Iraq be honored, while Baghdad remains silent over the kidnapping of its own citizen outside its borders?
🫶As a reminder of those "efforts," we briefly review the most prominent military and intelligence crimes associated with Petraeus's name in Iraq:

1⃣First: Crimes During His Command of the Multi-National Force (2007 - 2008)

🔘The Nisour Square Massacre (2007): Granting judicial immunity to private security companies, foremost among them "Blackwater," which resulted in the cold-blooded liquidation of 17 Iraqi civilians without any justification.
🌕Indiscriminate Airstrike Massacres: Intensifying the use of "Apache" helicopters in residential neighborhoods, which was exposed by the WikiLeaks leaks (July 2007), showing the killing of journalists, bystanders, and their children.

🔘 The Siege and Destruction of Sadr City (2008): Utilizing heavy artillery and drones to pound a densely populated residential area, leading to the deaths of hundreds of civilians and cutting off medical and humanitarian supplies.
👍 Random Night Raids: Storming homes based on misleading intelligence reports, resulting in the liquidation of entire families (including women and children) in their beds, as occurred in the "Al-Khalis" massacres.

🔘 Systemic Violations in Camp Bucca: The ballooning number of detainees held without trial under his direct supervision, alongside Red Cross documentation of systemic physical and psychological torture inside the detention facility.

2⃣Second: Crimes During His Tenure as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) (2011 - 2012)

🌕Following the official withdrawal of US forces in December 2011, Petraeus led the transition of the Iraqi file from "classical military warfare" to an "intelligence shadow war" that targeted the fabric of Iraqi society through:
🔘 Establishing the Largest Global Espionage Station in Baghdad: Inside the US Embassy in Baghdad, Petraeus inaugurated the Agency’s largest intelligence center in the world, dedicated to deploying electronic surveillance networks and recruiting spies to monitor and penetrate resistance factions and Shia forces close to Iran, in parallel with tracking Al-Qaeda cells (which later formed ISIS).
🔘 Managing Drone Strikes and Directing Joint Operations: Under his command, the CIA took charge of directing reconnaissance drones over the Iraqi-Syrian border, leveraging that intelligence to conduct strikes and assassinations by infiltrating and directing certain special Iraqi units (such as the Golden Division).
🔘 Managing Secret Prisons: Supervising a dark intelligence network of influence to conduct harsh interrogations and torture outside the oversight of the Iraqi judiciary.
This history, stained with blood and espionage and documented in the reports of international organizations, makes glorifying Petraeus and welcoming him to Baghdad as a "peacemaker"—at the very moment the state stands powerless to protect its citizens from external prosecution—a move that raises serious questions about the standards of sovereignty and justice held by the highest judicial authority in the country.
