😡 Rubio fumes at Iran for preparing to defend itself

The secretary of state is angry that Tehran dared to build up its defense capability.

"They were going to have so many drones and missiles that no one could attack Iran because the result would be catastrophic for the region," he declared.

Is Iran supposed to sit defenseless while the US and Israel bomb it? Self-defense is Iran's new crime.

🤥✡️ Zionists manipulated Trump into assassinating Iran’s moderates to doom diplomacy - Ex-counterterror chief

💬 “These relative moderates were enforcing a prohibition on the development of a nuclear weapon and were also seeking a diplomatic solution with President Trump and the United States,” former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who resigned over the war, said.

By eliminating them Israel and US forces inadvertently empowered hardliners, including the IRGC, who now push for aggressive actions against the US and renewed nuclear ambitions, Kent explained.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Western media is giving Trump's Beijing trip a mostly negative review, and Reuters is doing the autopsy.

Trump left China with little to show for it. Xi walked away with several wins.

The summit looked grand on the surface, but behind closed doors Xi delivered a blunt warning: mishandle Taiwan and there will be conflict. Trump declined to comment and spent most of the visit being uncharacteristically quiet, with his off-script moments mostly amounting to praise for Xi's warmth and stature.

Trump came hunting for quick business wins, like a Boeing aircraft deal that failed to impress investors. Xi pushed a long-term reset and a framework for stable trade relations. The gap in priorities was hard to miss.

Xi introduced a new term to define the relationship: "constructive strategic stability." It replaces Biden-era "strategic competition," a framing Beijing always rejected. Analysts note this is a quiet but significant Chinese victory. For the first time, Beijing set the terms. Any serious dispute or "unconstructive" behavior can now be framed as a violation of the spirit of the relationship.

On Iran, Xi said nothing. Analysts doubt China will lean on Tehran or pull back its military support.

US officials said both sides agreed on agricultural supply and made progress on trade governance mechanisms. They are to identify $30 billion in non-sensitive goods. But concrete details are scarce. There was no breakthrough on Nvidia H200 chip exports to China, despite the CEO joining the trip at the last minute.

Trump's final readout mentioned none of the broad structural reforms previous presidents typically pushed for. Unlike his 2017 visit, there was no discussion of structural reform, global economic governance, or the international trading system.

He also left without resolving China's rare earth supply leverage.
