Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

[shaberon]

The Iranian reservoir had at least some service restored in twelve hours.

Complementarily, here is some of that obsreprous eavesdropping:

A pro-Resistant hacktivist group announced that it has breached California water facilities in direct retaliation for a US airstrike that destroyed drinking water reservoirs in southern Iran.

The group, known as Handala, said on Thursday that it targeted California water infrastructure after US forces struck two reservoirs in Sirik, a town in Hormozgan province, cutting off access to drinking water for more than 20,000 residents.

"Only two days ago, [Trump] destroyed the water sources of the oppressed people of Sirik with multi-million-dollar rockets, inflicting forced thirst and suffering in 50-degree heat," Handala said in its statement. "Today, retribution has reached the heart of America."

The group said it stopped short of actually cutting off water to American cities — a capability it said to possess — citing a different ethical code than its adversaries.

"We could have easily cut off the water to American cities just as your foolish president did, but our path and our school are different," it added.

The group said the breach was a warning to the White House.

"This is not 2010, when you could attack with Stuxnet and suffer no consequences. Today, every assault will be met within hours by a far more devastating blow to your own infrastructure."

The group added that 5 GB of data on the latest breach is available on its website as a sign of proof.

I don't think they will turn you off. But most American infrastructure is reducible to nothing at the slightest problem.

This, on the other hand, is more likely to lead to consequences:

The pro-resistance Handala hacking group has announced that it breached drones of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States and threatened to target the underway World Cup.

On Friday, the monitoring group SITE Intelligence Group published a statement from Handala saying they had had access “for months” to “every image and every suspect” captured by first-person view (FPV) drones used by the FBI.

According to the statement, the drones featured facial recognition and license plate screening deployed for counterterrorism.

“Better tighten your World Cup security, we don’t like some of those teams at all. Don’t forget: FPVs are everywhere; you never know when one might end up right in your team’s bus,” Handala said in the statement quoted by SITE.

Handala released photos and footage that it said were taken from the hacked drones.

The FBI is reportedly deploying drones around World Cup stadiums to protect against unauthorized aircraft.

Drone flights will be banned over US stadiums hosting matches, as well as over fan events related to the tournament that began on Thursday.

In March, Handala said it brought the so-called “impenetrable” systems of the FBI "to their knees" within hours as its team has gained full access to data belonging to FBI Director Kash Patel.

Handala stated that the cyberattack came after the FBI announced a $10 million reward for the capture of its members.

The group reiterated that Washington can never “silence the voice of resistance” through “bribes and threats.”

Handala dedicated this cyber operation to the 84 navy personnel martyred aboard Iran’s IRIS Dena on March 4.

Another Indian ship shot down and sinking, third one in a week.

Astounding.

The Tribune reports the third attack came within hours after issuing a demarche:

Today’s attack on the Guinea-Bissau flagged tanker came hours after New Delhi had issued a demarche to US Chargé d’Affaires Jason Meeks to protest the attack that killed three Indian sailors aboard Palau-flagged MT Settebello.

That's three impeachable offenses to pile on the almost uncountable list.

That's while skipping the act of piracy and just going straight to destruction.

Our Administration needs to be removed from office and face the consequences of its acts against civilization.

In Gaza, it could be said that the Board of Peace is an instrument for sabotaging any cease-fire, prolonging genocide:

Hamas has condemned Israel’s expansion of the “yellow line” in Gaza, saying the move was meant to “blow up the negotiation track” and undermine the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said in a statement on Friday that the expansion of the line, along with continued bombardment and displacement of Palestinians, amounted to a “flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement.”

He said Israel’s actions represented the “actual implementation of threats” to increase its control over the Gaza Strip.

“Israeli actions reflect its unwillingness to implement the ceasefire agreement and aim to blow up the negotiation track and thwart the efforts being made, while continuing escalation to serve political and electoral considerations,” Qassem said.

The Hamas official also criticized the international community’s silence and inaction, pointing in particular to the lack of action by the so-called Board of Peace, as well as mediating and guarantor governments.

He said their failure to intervene had allowed the Israeli regime to continue violations of the ceasefire on the ground.

Of course, this can scarcely be differentiated from kooks who think they can buy Albanian wildlife refuges.

One should be more careful, because Real Estate hates you.

Andrey X talks settler violence, West Bank demolition and Israeli guilt

Settler killings of Palestinians rose 130 percent in 2025, with attacks now near-daily.

Another landmark report came from Amnesty on Wednesday.

It describes a state-driven ethnic cleansing campaign targeting Bedouin communities in Area C, comprising around sixty percent of the territory.

And the violence is not just military or territorial. It’s economical. Since October 2023, most Palestinian work permits have been cancelled or suspended. Israeli forces have been ordered to shoot at workers attempting to climb the separation wall.

And at the end of May, MEE reported 27-year-old Imad Ishtayeh — who was trying to find work after his business collapsed — was shot climbing the separation wall. He died on the operating table.

As all of this is happening, an event is coming to London this Sunday.

The "Great Israeli Real Estate Event" openly markets property in illegal West Bank settlements to international buyers.

This, despite new anti-settlement sanctions just issued by the UK government, which has declared for the first time “there should be no economic involvement” in illegal settlements. It’s unclear what this means for the Great Israeli Real Estate event.

These stories have all been reported by MEE in the past fortnight, yet they comprise only a handful of happenings in the Occupied West Bank.

This video below may be the most reliable commentary right now about the prospective US-Israel Memorandum of Understanding (MoA) that may (possibly!) be signed soon.

This new channel, Transition Protocol, was opened after their original channel Power Shift was terminated by direct order of Marco Rubio. (I've saved this video just in case. )

Here are the 14 points of the draft agreement, as presented by Larry Johnson starting at 5:37.

• Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
• The US commits to non-inference in Iran's internal affairs and respect for its sovereignty.
• Lifting of US naval blockade within 30 days.
• Withdrawal of US forces from around Iran.
• Reopening the straight of Hormuz within 30 dayswith Iranian arrangements.
• Suspension of US sanctions on Iranian oil.
• US and allies to draw up reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
• 60 days of negotiations to reach final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of sanctions reiterating Iran's commitment not to produce nuclear weapons.
• And during the negotiations, US will not increase its forces in the region or impose new sanctions, will release 24 billion in blocked Iranian funds, and establish a monitoring mechanism to implement the agreement.

The final agreement to be approved by a UN Security Council resolution.

Final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran's frozen funds, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade.

So those last three there are three of the five red lines. Frozen funds, lifting sanctions, lift the naval blockade.

The other two are recognizing, acknowledging Iran's sovereignty over the straight of Hormuz, and most importantly, an end to Israel's attacks on Lebanon and the Palestinians.

Now that those are the red lines for Iran. I think some of those others that we read off, they're negotiable, but those those last five are red lines that I think are non-negotiable points.

These are a few remarks about the Navy and American lies.


Firstly, yes, Iran had some frigates and other mediumishly-large vessels that were wiped out, but, this is not the Navy -- almost decoys:

...nearly every ship that was found, targeted, and sunk belonged to the conventional surface fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy. The frigates, the corvettes, the vessels anchored at known ports, visible to satellite imagery, trackable by intelligence assets that had been watching them for years, were targeted.

Iran's actual maritime deterrence, however, was never built around those ships – not primarily. An honest assessment shows Tehran has spent three decades designing a naval strategy premised on exactly one assumption: that in any war with a big power, its conventional surface fleet would be destroyed. The doctrine was built around what survives that destruction and still fights. What survives is the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy (IRGC) – and the 40-Day imposed war has done nothing to change that.


The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 60 percent of the IRGC fleet assigned to patrol the Strait of Hormuz remained intact after six weeks of imposed war.

That is the fleet that lays mines, boards ships, and turns the strait into a gauntlet. Sixty percent of it is still there. The "destroyed" navy Washington keeps announcing is the small fleet that was never the primary threat in the first place, as military experts assert.

So, yes, they never planned on a traditional naval battle, where a battleship fires at an aircraft carrier, or anything like that. Not like a costly fight against the Spanish Armada.


The most advanced carrier in the world was removed by sabotage, similar to 9/11:

CNN obtained footage from inside the ship. What that footage showed was not a contained dryer fire. It showed rows of bunks melted into twisted metal frames. Deformed bulkheads. Exposed wiring hanging from burned ceiling panels. Structural sections of the interior were completely gutted. The fire burned for more than 30 hours. The ship's fire suppression system failed, forcing the crew to fight it manually through the night.

Six hundred sailors lost their sleeping quarters. One of them told CNN, anonymously: "I seriously thought we were going to lose the ship."

The official version attributes this to a dryer fire in the laundry room. But the physics does not agree with that conclusion. A dryer fire, caught in a damage-control environment on a combat-deployed carrier with a trained crew and a functioning suppression system, does not produce 30 hours of uncontrolled burning.

It does not produce structural hull deformation, the kind visible in the CNN images, where internal steel has warped from sustained, intense heat.

That is, of course, realistic...structural steel can soften and bend due to the heat of fires. It doesn't just snap or turn into a puddle of molten metal for months.

It's not realistic that an accidental fire would spread to gut the vessel.


The most blatant sign is that no carrier entered the Persian Gulf; nothing American did, except a few probing maneuvers that were repelled.

That's because most of the Iranian threat is in these unusual submarines:

...diesel-electric boats purpose-built for exactly the kind of water the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz represent: shallow, temperature-layered, and acoustically complex, saturated with noise from dense commercial shipping.

Standard anti-submarine warfare procedures, developed for the deep-water environments of the Atlantic and Pacific, work poorly here. The Persian Gulf's physics degrade sonar performance entirely.

What the Ghadir does in this environment is sit on the bottom and wait. Naval analysts call this "bottom-rest" concealment: the submarine settles onto the seabed, shuts down non-essential systems, and becomes acoustically indistinguishable from the surrounding geology.

An active sonar ping from a passing destroyer may return nothing useful. The submarine is, for practical purposes, invisible until it chooses not to be.

And, of course, the latest shenanigans about the Apache could have easily led to renewed conflict, but, it seems to have dissipated rather fast.

Those strikes only occurred in the south, which leads to the consideration there may be a belief that central Iran may be setting up some, perhaps, Chinese-supplied, better air defenses. Just a speculation.

As for that external blockade, killing Indians in their own ocean, that can hardly be viewed favorably. But the situation in the Gulf appears inflexible.

SHOCKING! American Universities Caught Selling Cadavers to Israel

Here is some dirt that is being looked at from a high level:

France's digital interference watchdog Viginum has linked an Israeli company, BlackCore, to online influence and propaganda campaigns conducted across Europe, Africa, and the United States.

The body announced the findings in a report on Sunday, with its Chief Marc-Antoine Brillant and French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu identifying operations that targeted France, Scotland, Angola, Togo, and New York City.

"Our investigations did not make it possible to identify the sponsor or sponsors, if indeed they exist, behind this foreign digital interference," Brillant told Reuters.

According to the report, accounts linked to BlackCore targeted Scottish First Minister John Swinney, who has described Gaza as a "man-made humanitarian catastrophe."

Previous Viginum investigations had also found that BlackCore targeted candidates from the hard-left France Unbowed party in Marseille, Toulouse, and Roubaix through automated accounts and data leaks, while fabricated "sexual violence" allegations were circulated against some candidates.

The findings suggested that the firm also interfered in New York City municipal elections, which were won by Zohran Mamdani. Brillant said the same "modus operandi" observed in the French campaigns had been used in the US case, although the specific targets and the sponsors of the operation remained unclear.

The report noted that Mamdani's victory was frowned upon by traditional pro-Israeli supporters opposed his outspoken support for Palestine.

French government seeks explanation

Lecornu said Paris had sought a formal diplomatic explanation from the Israeli regime over the matter.

"I do not doubt for a single instant that if a French private group, from French soil moreover, had engaged in foreign digital interference in Israel, they would have done the same to its ambassador on site," he said.

Reuters reported that BlackCore removed its entire online presence after receiving inquiries from the news agency. The company had described itself as "an elite influence, cyber, and technology company built for the modern era of information warfare."

Broader information campaign

The report also referred to the Israeli regime's decision in early May to authorize a $730-million propaganda budget for 2026, describing it as a fourfold increase intended to reverse a decline in global public perception following the launch of Tel Aviv's war of genocide on Gaza and subsequent regional developments.

According to the report, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the initiative as the "Eighth Front" of the regime's wars.

It further described the operation as a "Digital Iron Dome" aimed at suppressing dissenting online content through AI-driven surveillance and mass reporting, while expanding the reach of regime-backed narratives on social media platforms.

The report also said that, in the United States, millions of dollars were funneled through entities linked to President Donald Trump to automate state-engineered narratives on social media and artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT and Claude.

This new channel, Transition Protocol, was opened after their original channel Power Shift was terminated by direct order of Marco Rubio.

Host Zulfiqar Ali of this channel, Transition Protocol, (center person of the three people in this video) seemed to me to be taking a different slant on this outcome, than his two guests.

Larry Johnson (to our left) and Pepe Escobar (to our right) seemed to me to be expecting Israel to continue supporting the current (and for perhaps a century, in some form or other) Western controlled security structure of the Middle East, whereas Zulfiqar Ali seemed to put more weight on the potential of Iran, with China and Russia, imposing a new security structure in that region of the world.

Given (so far as I've noticed) Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar are more versed in Western security structures, whereas (more speculatively) Zulfiqar Ali, who I'd guess is Pakistani, might lean more toward a new, more Asian focused, security structure for that region, therefore such a difference in perspective does not seem surprising to me.

However ... I only listened to some of this ... I might well have misread the views of these three.

[Bill Ryan]

Starting at 45:13 in Alexander Mercouris' video update yesterday, he reports that he'd heard directly from a close contact in Russia (where he is now, attending a conference) that the US government is very well aware that the effect of the American actions re Iran will be to

1. trigger a sudden 'shock' spike in oil prices in the near future, despite their current manipulation of the markets to keep prices down for the moment (and Mercouris' contact explained to him how this was all being done),
2. crash the global economy, and
3. bring about a recession in the US.

The US (a) intends all this to happen, and (b) determines this is all worth while as it will significantly weaken China and BRICS.

Russia, China and Iran are of course 100% aware of all of this. Mercouris doesn't describe it in these terms, but this is economic WW III already in play.

The obscenity of Mammon

US builds base to oversee Trump's settlement plan in Gaza

The United States has begun tendering private contractors to supply mobile structures to house personnel.


The project is being developed under the supervision of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which is expected to ensure the base is completed within a few months. Photo: EFE/Archive.

The United States (USA) confirmed that it is building a military base in Gaza , with the purpose of monitoring Trump's settlement plan in the Palestinian territory.

The new facility will replace the structures that Washington maintained in the Israeli city of Kiryat Gat , and will have both military and civilian functions, serving as a coordination center for various organizations.

The project is being developed under the supervision of the Israeli Ministry of Defense , which must ensure that the base is completed and equipped with all the necessary conditions for its operation within a few months.

While the construction is underway, the United States has launched tenders to private contractors for the supply of mobile structures to house personnel and establish a temporary headquarters.

The facility is designed as the headquarters of the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) , an organization that will have the mission of providing security in Gaza and coordinating operations in the area.

The planned works include the construction of a command and control tower, located near the settlement of Reim, where there is already an Israeli base.

In parallel, Washington is intensifying its diplomatic efforts to accelerate the project, framed within the objective of consolidating the so-called "Middle East Riviera ," even though this would imply the displacement of millions of Palestinians to neighboring territories.

The obscenity of Mammon

US builds base to oversee Trump's settlement plan in Gaza

And here come the Hollywood celebrities to promote it.

From Goop to ‘Gwynocide’: why is Gwyneth Paltrow starring in a luxury Israeli real estate ad?

Paltrow went viral this week for her commercial for 51 Park – a building just miles from where Palestinians are being killed and displaced.

Gwyneth Paltrow has built a wellness empire by encouraging people to put questionable things in their mouths and up their orifices. Over the years the Goop founder has promoted parasite-busting goat milk cleanses, urged women to stick $66 jade eggs into their vaginas, and waxed lyrical about the powerful benefits of rectal ozone therapy.

Now, however, it seems that Paltrow’s brand is pivoting from colon cleansing to ethnic cleansing. The actor and businessperson went viral this week for promoting a luxury real estate development in Israel. Paltrow, who has been nicknamed “Gwynocide”, stars in a new commercial and marketing materials for 51 Park, two 51-story towers in Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv. (The ad was filmed in New York.) The towers boast a swimming pool, a pilates pool, a wine room and gym, among other luxuries. It’s unclear how much they cost, but similar apartments in the area have gone for millions.

Deciding to advertise luxury penthouses in Israel at this particular moment is an interesting decision. Particularly when Melisron, the parent company behind 51 Park, also owns a commercial real estate project in the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim in the occupied West Bank – which was built on land inhabited by Bedouin communities, most of whom were forcibly displaced by the Israeli government. Just a few miles away from 51 Park, Palestinians are being killed and displaced by settlers and the Israeli military at record levels as this land grab continues. More Palestinians have been killed in the last three years than in the previous 17 years combined, analysis from Oxfam has found. Masked settlers, often protected by the military, have rampaged through villages, beating women, burning property, stealing sheep, clubbing family pets, and making life for Palestinians untenable. According to the UN, over 100 West Bank villages have been fully or partially emptied between January 2023 and April 2026 and more than 7,000 Palestinians have been displaced.

Western politicians – and large swathes of the media – like to characterize the settlers as rogue actors. However, as various rights groups have made clear, settlers are working in tandem with the Israeli government to forcibly displace Palestinians so that more luxury real estate for Israelis can be built. On Wednesday, in a detailed 149-page report, Amnesty International accused the Israeli government of carrying out a campaign of “state-sanctioned, state-driven and state-implemented” ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank. “Settler violence is not an aberration but an integral part of an organized state policy,” they note.

I want to make very clear here that Amnesty International does not use the term “ethnic cleansing” lightly. It states that while the term is “not recognized as an independent crime under international law”, it is using it “in line with the UN Commission of Experts on Former Yugoslavia’s definition”, which describes it as “a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas”.

While the situation in the West Bank is terrible, it’s even worse in Gaza – which is only 50 or so miles away from the luxury pilates room at 51 Park. Before 7 October 2023, Gaza was already one of the most densely populated places on Earth. Now Israel controls 60% of the territory (and has said it will seize 70%), and the population is packed even more tightly together. About 1.7 million people in Gaza are homeless and concentrated in crowded tent camps. While Paltrow advertises apartment buildings with swimming pools, there isn’t a single proper toilet in Gaza’s camps and the sewage system has been decimated.

Waste is not just unpleasant – it is a weapon. Crowded camps, full of rats and lice, are breeding grounds for deadly disease. Unicef USA writes that there have been “more than 70,000 cases of rodent and ectoparasitic infestations have been reported in 2026 alone. Limited access to essential medications makes it difficult to respond to all cases.” Newborn babies are being gnawed on by rats in filthy camps in Gaza, while Paltrow shows off the wine rooms of a luxury tower development down the road. It is some real The Zone of Interest stuff.

Paltrow’s advert has generated intense backlash. Still, that’s nothing new for her. The Goop founder has always courted controversy and doesn’t mind people yelling at her on the internet, so long as it generates headlines. “I can monetize those eyeballs,” she pronounced during a Harvard Business School lecture about the many viral uproars that Goop has been behind. A 2018 New York Times profile of Paltrow notes that “Goop had learned to do a special kind of dark art: to corral the vitriol of the internet and the ever-present shall we call it cultural ambivalence about GP herself and turn them into cash”.

While Paltrow may enjoy inciting internet uproar, going viral because you’ve told women to steam their vaginas is a very different proposition than going viral because you’ve got everyone talking about dead babies. Paltrow isn’t stupid – she’s a very savvy marketer – and I presume she predicted that advertising luxury real estate in a country whose government is currently being accused of ethnic cleansing and genocide would generate anger. Indeed, that might be why she hasn’t promoted her 51 Park advert on her personal Instagram.

So why do it? Why hook your brand to luxury real estate in a country that is bulldozing entire villages in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank? Personal sympathies, perhaps: Paltrow has expressed support for Israel’s victims of the 7 October Hamas attack but hasn’t said anything publicly about the innocent Palestinian and Lebanese civilians who have been killed by Israel. It’s possible that Paltrow believes that, in the long run, nobody will really care and this whole genocide thing will blow over. “When you’re at the forefront of something that’s new, people can get really reactive: ‘This is crazy! Why are you doing this?’” she once said about her scientifically dubious ideas. “Then, five years later, everyone’s fine with it.”

It’s also worth noting that the Israeli development isn’t the only odd thing that Paltrow has been promoting. Last week, she had the co-founder of the military tech company Anduril on her podcast. While it may seem for a wellness guru to be interviewing someone who profits from death, Mother Jones noted that the podcast “comes amid a larger rightward turn in both Silicon Valley and American wellness culture, perhaps best exemplified by the rise of Robert F Kennedy Jr”.

Anyway, the good news for Paltrow is that if she wants to keep advertising new buildings in Israel, she’s going to have plenty of opportunities to do so. The Israeli government recently established an agency to facilitate the “voluntary” removal of the Palestinian population in Gaza so that Donald Trump’s vision of a luxury riviera can be realized. Give it a few years and we might see Paltrow doing adverts for multimillion-dollar resorts built on mass graves. I can see the tagline now: “Price so good, it feels like a steal!”

• Real Reason Pentagon Leaked Israeli Espionage Story Now!:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6RqJ_cmax2I

Jimmy reports that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to "critical," citing concerns that Israel is spying on top U.S. officials—including Trump's own negotiators—to undermine peace talks with Iran and prolong the war. Israel has a long history of spying on the U.S. (citing the Jonathan Pollard case) and that this leak may be timed to help Democrats politically. He connects Israel's espionage to Netanyahu's bombing of Beirut, arguing both are aimed at sabotaging any negotiated settlement that would change the power structure in the Middle East. Jimmy concludes by urging viewers to contact their House representatives to oppose merging Israeli and U.S. defense in the upcoming NDAA bill.

Said to be outraged that any kind of deal may be forthcoming, they have again attacked Beirut, meaning reprisal is either already underway, or about to start.

Recently, the US has really diminished in firepower, although something of the bases is still there. Israel attacking its neighbors has not really changed. It can't be part of anything.

US-Israeli ‘good cop, bad cop’ tactics outdated – Iran’s chief negotiator
Mohammad Ghalibaf has condemned West Jerusalem’s continued bombings of Lebanon amid Washington’s diplomatic push

The US and Israel’s “good cop, bad cop” strategy for diplomacy while allowing continued Israeli attacks is outdated, Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Sunday, shortly after a deadly strike on Lebanon.

At least three people were killed in the Israeli attack on southern Beirut earlier in the day, just ahead of an anticipated US-Iran agreement, which Tehran has long insisted should include an end to hostilities in Lebanon. The proposed agreement has reportedly been viewed by many Israeli officials as a capitulation to Iran.

“The Zionists’ invasion of Dahiyeh has once again shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so,” Ghalibaf said on X.

“By giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions. The game of good cop and bad cop is outdated. If you do not have the will and ability to fulfill your obligations, it is not possible to talk about moving forward.”

According to Lebanese state news agency NNA, the Israeli strike killed at least three people and injured 15 others. The IDF claimed to have been targeting a Hezbollah command center.

The attack “should not have happened,” US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social, calling on Hezbollah and Israel to halt their tit-for-tat exchanges.

“We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down,” he wrote.

Just a day earlier, he announced that the US and Iran would ink a deal on Sunday that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and decide the fate of Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile.

However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Saturday that the agreement “[will] not happen tomorrow.” He didn’t rule out that “it could take place in the coming days.” Iran’s Foreign Ministry also stressed that the country’s fissile material and nuclear program would not be discussed at this stage and that the negotiations would focus on ending hostilities and “the issues of Lebanon.”

Earlier in June, Iran and Israel exchanged tit-for-tat strikes for the first time since a ceasefire was reached in April. The escalation followed an Israeli strike on southern Beirut.

[bojancan]

Can not be Peace without Justice... my opinion.. Iran is only one country, that is the obstacle for Israel... and they know.. under Trump this would be the last opportunity they have...
Once Iran is defeated.. Israel will start more wars... as they always do.. to steal the territories of several Arab countries and around the world... Israel probably convinced Trump that once Iran was defeated Iran's oil will be control by the US.... I do NOT believe in Trump's words....

I have to say, if these are indeed the 14 points to be formally agreed, it's a little hard to believe that the US and/or Israel will accept them, or abide by them. These are all huge concessions to Iran.



https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/186648

Mehr News in Iran has released a short version of the 14-clauses of the MoU that will be signed on Friday, between Iran & US.

1. The permanent and immediate halt of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.

2. A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

3. The complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.

4. A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from the areas surrounding Iran.

5. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian “arrangements”.

6. The suspension of oil sanctions, petrochemical products and derivatives, and Iran’s full access to the financial proceeds from them.

7. The requirement for the US & its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.

8. Sixty days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of primary and secondary U.S. sanctions, as well as UN Security Council resolutions and resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors.

9. Iran’s reiteration of its commitment under the NPT not to produce nuclear weapons.

10. During the negotiation period, the U.S. has committed not to add to its forces in the region and not to impose any new sanctions.

11. The release of $24 billion of Iran’s frozen funds during the 60-day period of final negotiations. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before the negotiations begin.

12. The formation of a supervisory mechanism to implement the agreement.

13. The final agreement will be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.

14. Final negotiations will not begin before half of Iran’s frozen funds are released, Iran’s oil sanctions are suspended, and the naval blockade is lifted. The final agreement will be limited only to the fate of enriched materials and enrichment, sanctions relief, and the program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussions about Iran’s missile program and support for Resistance groups have been definitively removed from the agenda.

I have to say, if these are indeed the 14 points to be formally agreed, it's a little hard to believe that the US and/or Israel will accept them, or abide by them. These are all huge concessions to Iran.

3. The complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.

4. A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from the areas surrounding Iran.

5. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian “arrangements”.

6. The suspension of oil sanctions, petrochemical products and derivatives, and Iran’s full access to the financial proceeds from them.

7. The requirement for the US & its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.

It will be very interesting to see what happens.

3. The complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.

Upgraded:

“Under the agreements reached, the war and military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, are ended immediately and permanently. Furthermore, the naval blockade against Iran is terminated immediately and completely.”

"Starting tonight, the US naval blockade against Iran will be terminated," Gharibabadi added, declaring "the immediate and permanent end of the war and military operations on various fronts, including Lebanon."

A Memorandum of Understanding is not a Treaty; Iran is participating with "active distrust."

Nevertheless, if anything like that happened, it would be a big shift.

The United States can't stop its attacks on Lebanon because that is not what it is doing. That leaves quite a wildcard here. However it is interesting that with bases in all those countries, no military progress was made, nor did the Navy enter the Gulf.
