"What steadfast power and steely resolve is this with which the Iranian people have risen and taken to the squares since the dawn of March 1st, remaining with full enthusiasm and lofty motives for more than three months to demand vengeance for the blood of their martyr commander and all the other martyrs, and to safeguard our Islamic regime and dear homeland? These millions-strong ranks of volunteers (feda'iyyeen) have formed the bedrock for achieving the aspirations of the martyr commander, establishing truth, and rising for the sake of God."

🔴 The Real Question: What Was the Point of the War Against Iran?

✍️In a highly critical analysis, economist and political commentator David Stockman argues that the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran achieved none of its stated objectives and ultimately exposed the weakness of the case that justified the conflict.

🤔Key Points:

🔹 The ceasefire prevented a regional catastrophe.
🌕The halt in fighting averted a wider war that could have engulfed the Persian Gulf’s energy infrastructure, disrupted global oil supplies, and triggered severe economic consequences worldwide.

🔹 Iran was not on the verge of building a nuclear weapon.
🌕Stockman notes that even U.S. intelligence assessments repeatedly stated that Iran had not resumed a nuclear weapons program and was not actively pursuing a bomb.

🔹 The regime-change project failed.
🌕Despite public calls from Washington encouraging Iranians to overthrow their government, no uprising materialized. The new understanding reportedly includes a commitment by Washington not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect Iranian sovereignty.

🔹 The “Axis of Resistance” was not dismantled.
🌕One of the major arguments used by Israel and its allies before the war was the need to weaken Iran’s regional allies, including Hezbollah and the Houthis. Yet the reported agreement contains no provisions forcing Iran to abandon or disarm its regional partners.

🔹 Iran’s missile capabilities remain untouched.
🌕Israel had long demanded limits on Iran’s missile program. According to Stockman, the new framework is largely silent on the issue, meaning one of Israel’s key strategic demands was not achieved.

🔹 The war may end with reconstruction payments to Iran.
🌕A reported proposal would require Gulf states and U.S. allies to contribute more than $300 billion toward rebuilding damage caused by the conflict, creating the paradox of the side that launched the war effectively helping pay for reconstruction.

🔹 The JCPOA nuclear deal was working.
🌕The article dedicates significant space to reviewing the 2015 nuclear agreement, arguing that it imposed unprecedented restrictions and inspections on Iran’s nuclear program. International inspectors repeatedly confirmed Iranian compliance before the U.S. withdrawal in 2018.

🔹 Stockman’s conclusion:
🌕The author argues that the war was launched on false premises, failed to produce regime change, failed to eliminate Iran’s missile capabilities, failed to break the Axis of Resistance, and ultimately brought Washington back toward negotiations resembling the same nuclear agreement it abandoned years earlier.

✍️Strategic Assessment

👍From a geopolitical perspective, the article’s central argument is that military pressure did not achieve the strategic transformation sought by Israel and its allies. Instead, Iran preserved its state structure, maintained its regional alliances, retained its deterrence capabilities, and returned to negotiations from a position stronger than many expected.

👍The article portrays the conflict as another example of the limits of military force when confronting deeply rooted regional power structures and political movements.

🔘Official Digital Signing: Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that the presidents of Iran and the United States have officially signed the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" digitally.

🔘 Reciprocity and Strict Monitoring: Baghaei stressed that Tehran will monitor the implementation of commitments without any leniency, asserting: "If the Americans make excuses, we will do the same. We will not fulfill our commitments unless the other party honors theirs."

🔘 The Red Line on Enriched Materials: He firmly stated that transferring enriched nuclear materials outside of Iran is an entirely unacceptable option and was never on the table.

🔘 Parallel Track Negotiations on Three Files: He revealed that the talks were not limited to the MoU alone; separate, concurrent negotiations were held on: the release of frozen assets, war reparations/damages, and the lifting of oil sanctions.

🔘 Mechanism for Releasing Frozen Assets: He pointed out that detailed negotiations took place over the past two weeks to guarantee Iran's freedom to use its frozen funds for any purchases immediately. He noted that past bitter experiences with US breaches of faith were kept in mind by Iranian negotiators to prevent any future non-compliance.

⚪️ Eurocentric Desperation vs. The Multipolar Reality


👍Let us ask the questions that Western mainstream outlets are fundamentally terrified to articulate:

👍Who is actually directing the hand behind this "Ukrainian" long-range strategy, and what is the ultimate cost?

👍For years, the Eurocentric, NATO-driven cabal has operated under the delusion that they hold a monopoly on global security structures. The massive drone assault on Moscow did not happen in a vacuum—it occurred hours after Zelenskyy boasted of an "important coordination call" with Washington and Paris.

👍This is no longer a localized defense of sovereign territory; it is the cynical transformation of Ukraine into a launchpad for Western-orchestrated proxy warfare inside the borders of a sovereign nuclear state. 
By greenlighting precision strikes on critical civilian infrastructure like the Kapotnya refinery, NATO is actively playing Russian roulette with global energy stability. The irony is staggering: as BRICS nations continuously build alternative economic, financial, and logistical corridors to isolate the Western sanction regime, the Euro-Atlantic elite respond by turning a blind eye to—or actively coordinating—attacks that threaten to upend international energy markets.

⚪️Consider these critical inquiries:

🌕If the Western alliance is so convinced of their inevitable victory, why must they rely on desperate, high-risk asymmetric terrorism against oil refineries to force Russia to the negotiating table?

🌕As global energy flows shift permanently toward the Global South and BRICS partnerships, does the Eurocentric elite truly believe that burning a refinery in Moscow will somehow reverse the terminal decline of Western economic hegemony?


🌕The historical trajectory is clear. The era of a unipolar world dictate is over. Every drone launched at Moscow with Western components and satellite intelligence only solidifies the resolve of the Global Majority to dismantle a predatory, Eurocentric security architecture that treats the world as its playground and human populations as expendable pawns.

🔴In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

🔹To the passionate and faithful nation of Iran

💬 As you have been informed, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the presidents of Iran and America. On the path to reaching this stage, the relevant officials, out of sincerity and good faith, made great efforts. And of course, it was the American president who, out of desperation, used all kinds of leverage to bring this about.

💬 As a matter of principle, I personally held a different view. However, based on the commitment that the honorable president — as the head of the Supreme National Security Council — gave to me on behalf of himself and the other members, regarding the safeguarding of the rights of the Iranian nation and the Axis of Resistance, and his explicit acceptance of responsibility for it, I granted my permission. He also explicitly stated that if the American side were to make excessive demands, they would not yield to them. From this moment on, we — meaning you, the proud nation, and this humble servant — will be awaiting the fulfillment of the stated conditions. However, it is self-evident that any in-person negotiations that take place in the future will not signify acceptance of the enemy's position. We hope that the blessed prayers of our Master (may God hasten his glorious reappearance) bring all forms of victory and breakthroughs to the honorable nation of Iran.

🔻Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings

🔴The Greatest Danger…

✍️By Dr. Farid Jabbour
🌕Montreal, Canada
🗒June 18, 2026

🔘The greatest danger is for a settlement to emerge in a dual formula: an incomplete Israeli withdrawal, extensive security arrangements inside Lebanon, and a ceasefire conditioned on Israel’s ongoing assessment of perceived threats.

👌Such a formula does not create peace; rather, it produces an uneasy truce. In some cases, it can be even more dangerous than war itself, because it shifts the conflict from a clear military confrontation into an ambiguous legal framework that allows repeated acts of aggression under the pretext of implementing the agreement.

🔘A U.S.–Iran agreement could represent an opportunity for Lebanon if it is used to compel Israel to withdraw and halt its violations. However, it could also become a danger if Lebanon is reduced to a secondary clause within a broader regional bargain.

👌For this reason, Lebanon’s national interest requires neither completely separating itself from the region—which is unrealistic—nor becoming entirely tied to it, which would deprive it of independent decision-making. The preferable path is for Lebanon to remain part of a framework of guarantees, not part of a framework of trade-offs.

🔘Sovereignty is not protected through isolation, nor preserved by dissolving into the deals of others. It is safeguarded through a clear national position that transforms regional circumstances into an opportunity, without allowing them to swallow Lebanon’s independent decision-making.

🔴 Pariah state: The Zionist entity officially ranks as the world’s most hated nation


👍The Zionist propaganda model has completely collapsed on the international stage. Israel's war rhetoric, which plays well at home, lands like a sledgehammer on international public opinion. The

"democracy fighting with one hand behind its back"

👍narrative has collapsed. Israel's messaging has been adding to this deterioration: Defence Minister Israel Katz boasted on the (X) platform about capturing strategic sites, while Netanyahu bragged about killing 8,000 Hezbollah fighters.

👍According to the latest global poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in June 2026, the Zionist entity topped the list of the most hated and rejected nations in the world.


⚪️ The Real Figures and Percentages of the Collapse:

👌Overwhelming majority against the occupation:
Thirty-six surveyed countries recorded a hatred and hostility rate toward the entity exceeding 67% as a global average, due to its continuous crimes in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.


🔘European rejection:


✌Spain and Sweden led with 78%, followed by the Netherlands (76%), Italy (75%), and Germany (73%). Even in Britain and the United States, the percentages reached 69% and 60%, respectively.


🔘Alienation of younger generations:

✌In Hungary, 72% of young people (aged 18–34) expressed absolute hostility toward the Zionist entity.


⚪️ Destruction and Systematic Targeting of Lebanon:


🔘Human toll:

🤲At least 3,783 martyrs have fallen and 11,699 have been wounded as a result of the ongoing Zionist raids and assaults.


🔘Scorched earth and forced displacement:


🤲Amnesty International documented a sharp escalation in unlawful evacuation orders, as the occupation army issued 135 mass evacuation orders during the year 2026, compared to only 36 orders in 2024.


🔘Land grabbing:


🤲The occupation isolated 6% of the Lebanese territory and turned it into a so-called "Forward Defence" zone where civilians are barred from returning, which represents a documented war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention.

🤲According to a report released yesterday, Israel has now occupied the Ali al-Tahir heights.


🔘Economic suffocation:

🤲The attacks caused direct and indirect losses estimated between $20–30 billion, the destruction of more than 68,000 housing units, and an economic contraction of up to 10%.


⚪️ Political and Legal Downfall:


👌International isolation:
Even allies are growing fed up; Donald Trump openly criticized Netanyahu's management of the war and demanded he "take responsibility." Even if all this talk is nothing but theater, the American public has begun to realize the truth about Netanyahu and the Israeli enemy.


🔘Prosecution:


👌The International Court of Justice (ICJ) confirmed the illegality of the occupation through multiple advisory opinions, while the International Criminal Court (ICC) continues to issue arrest warrants for Zionist leaders for war crimes.


👌The war launched by the Zionist entity with the aim of securing its northern border and eliminating the Axis of Resistance has reaped nothing but the deepening of its isolation, turning it into an aggressive power that is pariah and internationally besieged by the force of rising global awareness.
