Under President Maduro's administration, there was a ban on trade with Israel, but that ruling has now been overturned – Bloomberg

📝 Translation Error📝
at the cost of sovereignty
A scandal has erupted in Armenian media: it turns out that the government translator of Armenia incorrectly translated US Vice President J.D. Vance's statement about supposedly $9 billion in investments in the republic's nuclear energy.
In reality, Vance stated about exporting American technologies for a small modular reactor (SMR) worth up to $5 billion, as well as long-term contracts for $4 billion for fuel supply and maintenance. Thus, Armenians will have to pay Americans about $9 billion to abandon their own nuclear power plant and switch to questionable quality equipment.
Moreover, Vance today at Yerevan airport stated that the SMR project "may reach 4 billion, but you have already seen significant investments in Armenia", confirming that Armenians will pay for everything from their own budget.
❗️ The Armenian opposition believes that the translation error was intentional. Vance was promoting exclusively his country's interests, and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan needed a beautiful pre-election photo and creating illusions about an "historic moment".
📌 In Armenia, expectations of a visa-free regime with the EU and multi-million investments from Brussels are now supplemented by American promises that Armenians will be allowed to buy "incredible" technologies. When Pashinyan's ground is literally slipping away, he has to resort even to deception.

🇺🇸⚔️🇨🇺 During COVID and other major public health crises, Cuba sent doctors and medical treatments for free to help other countries all around the world.
Now the US is deliberately blockading all oil supplies to Cuba as international airlines begin to run out of jet fuel and the island starts to run out of food and medicine.
However, what’s even worse is that the same countries Cuba assisted in public health and medical care are lining up with the US to enable the imposition of this blockade.
Washington hopes to starve the Cuban people into submission to the agenda of the Epstein ruling class. And these other countries have so far chosen to be servants of empire.
First of all, Claudia Sheinbaum has no excuse to be halting oil supplies over the threat of tariffs because she has a very important advantage. The US is reliant on Mexico for critical imports as is the case with China, which would lead to shortages and economic crisis in the US if Washington were to impose tariffs.
Mexico could very easily weaponize this situation and respond with retaliation tariffs just as Beijing did throughout the trade war. In the end China had the same advantage that Sheinbaum currently has and emerged victorious in the months long trade war.

❗️Hamas, Iran's Larijani meet in Doha to discuss war on Gaza, ceasefire violations, and regional developments
Hamas leader Mohammad Darwish met with Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani in Doha to discuss the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, regional political developments, and escalating tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Darwish outlined the humanitarian and military situation in Gaza, including Israel's continued violations and evasion of ceasefire terms while affirming the resistance’s commitment to halting the aggression, lifting the blockade, and ensuring aid flows.
He also expressed solidarity with Iran, warning that any attack on the Islamic Republic would destabilize the region. Larijani briefed Hamas on internal developments in Iran and ongoing talks with the US, reiterating Tehran’s continued support for the Palestinian cause and praising Palestinian resilience.

🇺🇸 JUST IN! John Thune, a senior REPUBLICAN politician from South Dakota and the current U.S. Senate Majority Leader, is demanding the full public release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
In the United Kingdom, politicians and even members of the royal family lost their positions over links to Epstein. In the United States, however, figures close to Trump — including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick — have faced no consequences.
Pressure is now coming from within Trump’s own party. However, the Supreme Leader of America doesn't seem to care much. Bibi is in town.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 President Trump in a post on Truth Social:
'I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, of Israel, and various of his Representatives. It was a very good meeting, the tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues.
There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be.
Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer — That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible.
Additionally, we discussed the tremendous progress being made in Gaza, and the Region in general. There is truly PEACE in the Middle East. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'

—❗️🇮🇷/🇵🇸 BREAKING: The spokesman of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obaidah, issues an unprecedented statement in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran:
'In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the Beneficent. We declare our solidarity and that of our people with Iran, its leadership, government, and people, and the Hamas movement declares that it considers any aggression against the Islamic Republic and its brotherly people as an aggression against the entire Islamic World, a criminal violation of the sovereignty of a resistant Islamic state, and an unacceptable act of bullying aimed at interfering in its internal affairs and attempting to impose facts on the ground by brute force.
We express our confidence in the determination and resilience of the Iranian Armed Forces and the Revolutionary Guards, who taught the Zionist enemy lessons during the True Promise-3 operations in June 2025. With God’s help, they are fully capable of repelling aggression and exercising their natural and legitimate right to self-defense, inflicting severe strikes upon the aggressors.
We emphasize that the threats currently facing the Islamic Republic, as well as past attacks and sieges, are a desperate attempt to take revenge on its great people and steadfast leadership, due to their unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their direct, open backing of the resistance.
By the grace of Allah, and with the support of the free people of the Ummah, this resistance achieved legendary steadfastness during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, breaking the Zionist enemy’s prestige and foiling all its declared objectives.'

🇺🇦 Zelensky said there will be no negotiations in Moscow or Minsk.
“I cannot go to Moscow to negotiate with Putin in the capital of a country that is an aggressor in this war. We are ready to support U.S. proposals and meet on any territory in America, Europe, or a neutral country — anywhere except Russia and Belarus. Belarus is an ally in the 2022 offensive against Ukraine,” he said.
Zelensky also stated there will be no elections until a ceasefire is in place.
“I am hearing for the first time about plans to announce an election roadmap on February 24. Ukraine will move to elections only after receiving security guarantees and a ceasefire.”
He added that the U.S. is not threatening to withdraw security guarantees if elections are not held.
According to Zelensky, a ceasefire is also required before any referendum on a peace deal. Ukraine is ready for any timeline for elections or a referendum, he claimed, but only after security is ensured.

🇺🇸 Rep. Thomas Massie accused the U.S. Department of Justice of mishandling sensitive material from Epstein victims’ lawyers.
Holding up an email, Massie said it contained a list of names the victims’ attorneys explicitly asked the DOJ not to release.
“What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it,” Massie said. “Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did.”
