Israel risking ‘nuclear catastrophe’ – Moscow

from RT

Israel’s ongoing strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities pose unacceptable threats to international security and risk plunging the world into a catastrophe, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said.

Israel began bombing Iran on Friday, claiming Tehran is nearing the completion of a nuclear bomb. Iran has dismissed the accusations as groundless and retaliated to the Israeli military operation with waves of drone and missile strikes.

“The ongoing intensive attacks by the Israeli side on peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran are illegal from the point of view of international law, create unacceptable threats to international security and push the world towards a nuclear catastrophe,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on Tuesday...

Obama’s Salvador Option in Iraq: Death Squads Getting a Little Mainstream Attention… a little (archive)

(archived from February 8, 2015)

by Scott Creighton

The consequence of not mentioning the connection between the US and the Iranian-backed Badr Brigade militia, the US-backed Wolf Brigade and other Special Police Commando units, or the extent of American recruitment, training, command, and control of these units^[19] distorted perceptions of events in Iraq, creating the impression of senseless violence initiated by the Iraqis themselves and concealing the American hand in the planning and execution of the most savage forms of violence. Dirk Adriaensens, Brussels Tribunal

The fervor over the fake “burning man” video is laughable to the point of tears. It’s ridiculous actually when you put that one guy acting in a movie pretending to be about to die, in context of what our secret warriors have really done to millions of civilians over the past few decades. What our secret warriors, our “freedom fighters”, are STILL doing in Iraq as we speak.

Today, the New York Times had to shed a tiny bit of light on the reality creeping out of occupied Iraq and that reality is… yes, our puppet regime has unleashed organized death squads (just like I wrote about nearly a year ago and again in Aug.) on the population of their country who happen to opposed the corrupt, brutal government we installed.

Of course, the New York Times, the sickening subservient sycophants to global power structures that they are, had to present these monsters in the kindest, most endearing light they could muster. This is the new face of the old death squads of the Iraq Salvador Option under President Peace Prize’s administration, so of course, the Times had to present them like Bill Clinton playing a sax on Saturday Night Live.

Deranged Trump Demands 'Unconditional Surrender' After Threatening to Kill Iran's Leader

from Common Dreams

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday demanded "unconditional surrender" from the Iranian government after threatening to order the assassination of the country's leader, an escalation of rhetoric that observers said could signal imminent American intervention in the increasingly deadly conflict that Israel, without provocation, started last week.

Trump wrote on his social media platform that "we know exactly where" Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "is hiding."

"He is an easy target, but is safe there," the U.S. president continued. "We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now."

Minutes later, Trump wrote in a separate post, in all caps, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

Trump's use of "we" in his latest messaging on the war indicates that the president sees the U.S.—Israel's top ally and arms supplier—as a party to the conflict, a departure from his insistence just days earlier that the U.S. was "not involved."...

CENTCOM warned Iran was 'mere steps' from nuclear weapons before IDF strikes began

from Jerusalem Post

CENTCOM Commander Gen. Erik Kurilla warned on June 10 that Iran was "mere steps" from reaching weapons-grade uranium as defined by the IAEA in a post that was reposted by the official White House X account "Rapid Response 47" on Tuesday. 

The IAEA considered weapons-grade uranium to be 90% enrichment, while the IAEA estimated that Iran had reached 400 kg. of 60% enrichment, double what it was six months ago.

"This is mere steps from reaching the 90% threshold for weaponization," Kurilla's post said.

The same post stated that if Iran had "sprinted" to enrich uranium, it could produce a single weapon within a week and 10 within three weeks.

Notably, "sprinting" to produce a weapon includes some steps that Iran hadn't yet achieved. Some of these steps include detonating a nuclear explosion or being able to place a nuclear warhead on ballistic missiles. Different estimates say that with these steps in mind, Iran was closer to being seven months to one year away from making a weapon. 

The official X account reposted this message after CNN reported that the US intelligence claimed Iran was actually three years away.

The CNN report published Tuesday followed four days of Israeli strikes across Iran.

The report indicated that intelligence officials disagreed on the speed at which Iran could actually enrich uranium...

Iran launches 10th phase of Op. True Promise III with massive missile, drone barrage

from PressTV

Iranian armed forces have launched the next and tenth phase of Operation True Promise III by firing a barrage of missiles and drones toward the occupied territories.

The new phase began at around 7:10 pm local time on Tuesday, following nine previous phases since June 13 that have inflicted heavy blows on the occupying regime.

Launches in the new wave were carried out from various parts of the country, with both missiles and drones aimed at the occupied territories.

In the new wave of retaliatory attacks, a large-scale missile operation was carried out against the Israeli air force bases, which are the origin points for fighter jet flights toward the country.

Operation True Promise III, which was launched on Friday night, is being carried out under the code name “Ya Ali ibn Abi Talib.”

It comes in response to the assassination of several high-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, including women and children.

The tenth phase of the operation came less than 24 hours after the impactful wave of ballistic missiles and drones struck multiple targets in different parts of the occupied territories...

Israel says Iran was racing toward a nuclear weapon. US intel says it was years away

from CNN

When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.

But US intelligence assessments had reached a different conclusion – not only was Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it was also up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one to a target of its choosing, according to four people familiar with the assessment...

Sen. Tim Kaine Introduces War Powers Resolution To Prevent War With Iran

from AntiWar

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) on Monday introduced a War Powers Resolution that would require a debate and a vote in Congress before the US enters Israel’s war against Iran with offensive support.

“It is not in our national security interest to get into a war with Iran unless that war is absolutely necessary to defend the United States. I am deeply concerned that the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran could quickly pull the United States into another endless conflict,” Kaine said.

“The American people have no interest in sending servicemembers to fight another forever war in the Middle East. This resolution will ensure that if we decide to place our nation’s men and women in uniform into harm’s way, we will have a debate and vote on it in Congress,” the Virginia senator added.

War Powers resolutions are privileged, meaning Kaine’s bill will force the Senate to consider and vote on the measure quickly. Contact your senator and urge them to support Kaine’s legislation. If you’re a resident of Virginia, contact Kaine and thank him for his efforts to prevent the US from entering a war with Iran.

Kaine’s resolution comes amid signs that the US may enter the war by launching airstrikes on Iran, which could provoke Iranian missile attacks on US bases across the region and result in significant US casualties...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has also been strongly critical of the US support for Israel’s war. “Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA,” she wrote on X on Sunday. “Wishing for murder of innocent people is disgusting. We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them.”

Iran targets Israel’s Unit 8200 near Tel Aviv

from The Cradle

 

Iranian ballistic missiles targeted Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200 at the Glilot base near Tel Aviv on 17 June, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced – as part of the ninth phase of Operation True Promise 3. 

“In the early hours of today, Tuesday, 17 June, IRGC Aerospace Force fighters, in an impact-oriented operation, despite the presence of highly advanced defense systems, struck the Zionist regime's military intelligence center known as Aman and the center for planning terror operations and evils of the Zionist regime (Mossad) in Tel Aviv, and this center is currently burning,” the IRGC said in a statement.

Several impacts were made in the Herzliya area in the Tel Aviv district. A bus was set ablaze and an eight-story building was damaged, according to Hebrew news site Ynet. 

Video footage captured the moment several missiles impacted the area, causing large explosions...

As Other Arab States Condemn Israeli Attacks on Iran, Syria Is Notably Silenta (al Qaeda stands with the Jewish State)

(Syria's new leader, al-Shara (formerly known as al Qaeda operative Abu Mohammad al-Julani), stands with Glorious Israel and their Operation Cowardly Lion. Congrats to all those in the West who do the same. You will be known by the company you keep.) 

from the NYT

In the hours after Israel launched its most brazen attacks yet on Iran, Arab countries — many of which are no real friends of the Islamic republic — quickly condemned the Israeli aggression.

Arab leaders denounced the Israeli strikes as “heinous attacks” and “violations of international law.” But amid the chorus of criticism, one key player in the region has remained notably silent: Syria.

The decision by Syria’s new government, led by President Ahmed al-Shara, to remain silent is a sign of just how much the geopolitical sands have shifted in the country since rebels toppled the Assad regime in December, analysts say.

That regime was among Iran’s closet allies in the region, providing key support as Iran built up its network of anti-Israel militias, the so-called Axis of Resistance, across the Levant.

But since coming to power, the new government has made clear that Iran’s proxies are no longer welcome in Syria and pledged that it would not allow any armed groups to launch attacks into Israel from Syrian soil...

According to The Marker, a daily business newspaper published by the Haaretz Group in "Israel, several buildings within the institute sustained direct hits, with one key laboratory complex entirely destroyed by fire.

The targeted site housed advanced research in life sciences, artificial intelligence, and molecular biology, areas that have directly supported the Israeli entity’s development of surveillance, targeting, and weapons systems used in aggressions across the region...

One of the missiles reportedly hit a sensitive target in Herzliya, a coastal city known for housing key Israeli security and intelligence infrastructure.

Simultaneously, military censorship has imposed a blackout on the location recently targeted and struck by Iranian missiles in the Glilot area, as per Israeli media.

Israel wants to annihilate Iranian nuclear facilities before talks – ambassador

('No one can stand in our way hence 'Rising Lion'  Israel will no longer be the little country on the block instead we will rise and take control of the Middle East and steal all the land we want to steal.' is what she really was saying.) 

from RT

Israel wants to entirely dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and destroy its ability to resume it in the future, according to West Jerusalem's ambassador to Moscow, Simona Halperin.

Israel will only consider talks after this main goal is reached, she said.

“Israel is attacking the objects and individuals that lead the Iranian nuclear program, that lead the program to destroy Israel, as well as all those who would pose a military threat to Israel,” Halperin told the press at a briefing in the Israeli Embassy on Monday.

When asked by RT about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to mediate talks between West Jerusalem and Tehran, the diplomat stressed that the Jewish state’s current primary concern is the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program.

“Israel’s number one priority” is to wipe out Iran’s “desire, ability and intention” to continue pursuing its nuclear program, Halperin told RT.

It’s premature to consider negotiations right now, she added.

“I think it's way too early to think about ‘who, when, and how’,” the diplomat said. “I think it is very important to address the critical issues, ability and intent,” she said, referring to the goals of the Israeli bombing campaign.

“After we resolve these issues, we will see how we can proceed,” Halperin said...

Iran, Israel air war enters 5th day after Trump urges Tehran evac

from Daily Sabah

Israel and Iran traded fire for a fifth consecutive day on Tuesday after Donald Trump called on Iranians to evacuate Tehran, blaming their government’s refusal to accept a nuclear deal aimed at halting weapons development.

World leaders meeting at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Canada called for a deescalation of the worst-ever conflict between the regional foes, saying Iran was a source of instability and must never have a nuclear weapon while affirming Israel's right to defend itself.

Trump, who left the summit early due to the Middle East situation, said his departure had "nothing to do with" working on a deal between Israel and Iran after French President Emmanuel Macron said the U.S. had initiated a cease-fire proposal.

"Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Monday.

The U.S. president had earlier said Iran should have signed a deal with the United States and urged residents to evacuate the Iranian capital.

"Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump said Monday...

38 more Gazans dead in continued Israeli attacks on aid seekers

from Daily Sabah

At least 38 Palestinians were killed Monday near food distribution centers in southern Gaza, backed by Israel and the U.S., according to the local Health Ministry, amid renewed outbreaks of violence.

The toll was the deadliest yet in the near-daily shootings that have taken place as thousands of Palestinians move through Israeli military-controlled areas to reach the food centers run by the private contractor Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Two witnesses said Israeli troops opened fire early Monday in an attempt to control the crowds.

There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military. It has said in previous instances that troops fired warning shots at what it calls suspects approaching their positions.

Gaza's Health Ministry said most of the dead were trying to reach the GHF center near the southern city of Rafah, though a few were on the roads to a newly opened hub on the outskirts of the nearby city of Khan Younis.

Two Palestinians trying to get food at the Rafah site, Heba Jouda and Mohammed Abed, told The Associated Press that Israeli forces fired on the crowds at around 4 a.m. at the Flag Roundabout...

Attack on Iran's media: Israeli regime bombs IRIB building in new war crime

from PressTV

The Israeli regime carried out a fresh act of aggression on Monday by targeting the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran.

The attack, involving at least four bombs, struck the central building housing IRIB’s news department, while a live news broadcast was underway.

The transmission was briefly interrupted before Hassan Abedini, IRIB’s news director and deputy for political affairs, appeared on air to condemn the terrorist crime.

At the time of the attack, news anchor Sahar Emami was presenting the news. Despite the building trembling under the first strike, she stood her ground and continued the broadcast.

“Allah o Akbar” (God is Great), she proclaimed, drawing global attention to the heinous war crime committed by the Zionist regime against Iran’s national broadcaster.

Moments later, another blast filled the studio with smoke and dust, forcing her to evacuate. She returned shortly after to join Abedini and share her harrowing experience...

Israel asks Iran, through intermediaries, to stop attacks, return to nuclear talks: US media

How Iran Turned Israel’s Iron Dome Against Itself Using Clever Jamming

from Sputnik News (H/T Aletho News)

New evidence suggests that Iran successfully compromised Israel’s vaunted air defense systems during recent attacks — forcing Tel Aviv to fire on its own positions. 

How? 

Iran overwhelmed Israeli defenses by breaching the data transmission and correction system early in flight, explains military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov. 

"Based on the footage that was released, it seems that the Iranians were able to breach the data transmission and correction signal system at the early stage when the missiles were flying, using an inertial guidance system. As a result, the system misdirected the missiles, not toward their intended target, but toward Israel’s own surface-to-air missile batteries, leading to a strike on them." 

The attack included: 

• 100+ Shahed drones (swarming tactics) 
• Decoy ballistic missiles (old models to waste interceptors) 
• Fattah hypersonic missiles (unstoppable by Israeli Arrow/PAC-3) 

As a result, the Iron Dome’s interception rate dropped drastically to just 10-15%.

IRGC: Damages, losses inflicted on Israeli regime ‘far beyond imagination’

A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the damage inflicted on the Israeli regime by Operation True Promise III “far exceeds” what the regime had expected.

“Approximately 20 hours after the enemy’s initial assault, Operation True Promise III was conducted while the Zionist regime was at peak of defensive readiness. Having anticipated Iran’s potential response, they had activated all their air defense systems and even secured airspace control over neighboring countries,” Deputy Commander for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said in an interview released on Monday.

Saying that the regime resorted to terrorist acts amid diplomatic engagements, he added that “they believed their strikes on Iran's military and missile sites had completely destroyed the Islamic Republic's defensive and offensive capabilities—leaving Iran unable to execute operations on par with True Promise I & II.”...

At least 60 Palestinians were killed Wednesday amid fierce Israeli gunfire and airstrikes targeting areas near humanitarian aid sites in the Gaza Strip, local health officials confirmed.

The majority of the casualties occurred close to a food distribution center run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in central Gaza, underscoring the mounting dangers faced by civilians seeking vital aid in the war-torn enclave.

Medical teams at Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals reported at least 25 fatalities and dozens wounded near a pre-dawn food distribution point close to the former Israeli settlement of Netzarim.

Trump Halts Most Deportations at Request of Big Business Promising Comprehensive Immigration Reform

by Scott Creighton

Donald Trump has backed away from his MAGA promise to deport 15 million + illegal immigrants living and working in the country. 

In a Truth Social post he says he's talked with business leaders from farming and hospitality sectors (and probably construction as well since he is both a hotel owner and developer) and suddenly learned that arresting all their illegal cheap laborers would mean those businesses would have to pay more for employees and that would hurt their bottom lines.

So... screw MAGA says TrumpyBear... the cheap labor stays.

But, he says, some reform is coming now that there has been a nice crisis to move the needle on the American people sufficiently enough to provide cover for congress to finally pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR).

'President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday that both farmers and "people in the Hotel and Leisure business" have said that his approach to immigration enforcement "is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace."

"In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs," Trump added. "This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!"

At a White House event later on Thursday, he said that "we're going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think." Yahoo News 

 

Going into 2025 the folks over at the Heritage Foundation knew they wanted to see CIR finally signed into law.

This Israeli Government Is a Danger to Jews Everywhere

by Thomas Friedman NYT

Israelis, diaspora Jewry and friends of Israel everywhere need to understand that the way Israel is fighting the war in Gaza today is laying the groundwork for a fundamental recasting of how Israel and Jews will be seen the world over.

It won’t be good. Police cars and private security at synagogues and Jewish institutions will increasingly become the norm; Israel, instead of being seen by Jews as a safe haven from antisemitism, will be seen as a new engine generating it; sane Israelis will line up to immigrate to Australia and America rather than beckon their fellow Jews to come Israel’s way. That dystopian future is not here yet, but if you don’t see its outlines gathering, you are deluding yourself.

Fortunately, more and more retired and reserve duty Israeli Air Force pilots, as well as retired Army and security officers, are seeing this gathering storm and declaring they will not be silent or complicit in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ugly, nihilistic policy in Gaza. They have begun to urge Jews in America and elsewhere to speak up — SOS: Save Our Ship — before the widening moral stain of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza becomes irreversible...

‘Barbaric’ Israeli aggression against Iran draws global condemnation

from PressTV

Top officials and governments around the world have condemned the Israeli aggression targeting Iran’s military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians early Friday.

A top Turkish official condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran, describing them as “barbaric” and unjustifiable aggression.

Omer Celik, the spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s governing party, also maintained that the action was a diversion tactic, aimed at shifting attention away from international criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.

“There can be no legitimacy or justification for the Israeli attack. This is barbaric aggression,” Celik said on a X post.

Celik hit out at Israel for “hostility” toward diplomatic efforts, noting that the attack took place amid ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned Israel's “heinous attacks” against the “brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran”, urging the international community to immediately stop the aggression.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Israeli aggressions against the brotherly Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security and constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms,” the kingdom’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

“While the Kingdom condemns these heinous attacks, it affirms that the international community and the Security Council bear a great responsibility to immediately halt this aggression,” it added.

Israel attacks Iran’s capital with explosions booming across Tehran

(Then again... I could be wrong) 

from the AP

Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday, with explosions booming across Tehran as Israel said it targeted nuclear and military sites.

The attack comes as tensions have reached new heights over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. The Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency for the first time in 20 years on Thursday censured Iran over it not working with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site in the country and swap out some centrifuges for more-advanced ones.

Israel for years has warned it will not allow Iran to build a nuclear weapon, something Tehran insists it doesn’t want — though official there have repeatedly warned it could build them. The U.S. has been preparing for something to happen, already pulling some diplomats from Iraq’s capital and offering voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East...

Rich Gain and Poor Lose in Republican Policy Bill, Budget Office Finds

from the NYT

The far-reaching domestic policy bill that Republicans recently pushed through the House would provide rich Americans with a financial lift while taking away government benefits from the poor, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Thursday.

The analysis is the first from the budget office that lays out how Americans at different income levels would be affected by the Republican legislation, which slashes taxes and cuts spending on safety-net programs like Medicaid and food stamps. Americans would, on average, gain from the bill, according to the analysis, but the consequences would be very different for poor Americans and for rich ones.

The bottom 10 percent, for example, would overall lose government benefits worth an average of $1,559, or 3.9 percent of their current income, each year over the next decade, according to the budget office. The bottom 30 percent of Americans would all, on average, lose more benefits than they would receive from the bill. In contrast, the top 10 percent would gain an average of $12,044, a 2.3 percent annual increase to their current income.

Middle-class Americans would see smaller gains. The middle 10 percent of Americans would on average net $514 per year if the measure were enacted, an annual increase of 0.5 percent in their current income.

Overall, the richer Americans are, the larger the benefit they would receive from the legislation. That is true for the bill overall over the next decade, as well as for each individual year through 2034 as provisions in the bill phase in and out...

US ambassador: 'Israel' unlikely to strike Iran without Trump’s OK

from al Mayadeen English

US Ambassador to "Israel" Mike Huckabee said the Israeli occupation is unlikely to attack Iran without Washington’s approval, highlighting the strong trust between the two countries.

Trump has reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "Israel" does not have a "green light" to launch a military strike against Iran, emphasizing that diplomacy remains Washington's preferred path.

According to Israeli Channel 12 sources, Trump stated during a phone conversation on Monday, "You don't have a green light, there will be a deal with Iran. The attack (on Iran) needs to be taken off the agenda right now."...

Trump promises ‘unforgettable’ military parade in DC, but who is it for?

Gen. TrumpyBear

 

from al Jazeera

Tanks are coming to the streets of the United States capital.

Twenty-eight 61-tonne Abrams battle tanks, to be exact, as well as a fleet of 56 armoured Stryker and Bradley fighting vehicles, a flock of artillery launchers, 6,600 US troops, 34 horses – plus two mules. And a dog. 

It is all part of the military celebration on Saturday that has been kicked into overdrive by the administration of US President Donald Trump in recent weeks.

June 14 marks the 250th birthday of the US Army and, conspicuously, Trump’s 79th birthday. The US president has promised a parade of “thundering tanks and breathtaking flyovers will roar through our capital city” that will be simply “unforgettable”.

The event comes nearly six months into Trump’s second term, during which he has sought to test the limits of presidential power and his legal authority to employ the military as law enforcement force within the US. That was further exemplified in this week’s deployment of the US National Guard and Marines to protests against his immigration policies in California.

So, who is the audience for Trump’s military parade? And what message will it send?

“Obviously, when so much money and resources are put towards an event like a military parade that coincides with a birthday, it must be for a reason,” Irene Gammel, a professor and historian at the Toronto Metropolitan University, told Al Jazeera...

Israeli strike on Iran could happen: US President Trump

(Netahyahu wants another war. Anything to distract from the genocide they are committing in Gaza which is costing them credibility across the globe at an alarming rate.  There are limits to their arrogant hasbara program. They also want Iran out of the way, tamed if you will, so they can continue with the Greater Israel project. But I doubt they have the balls to attack Iran on their own. They lost to Hezbollah in 2006 and right now all they seem capable of doing is attacking refugees in a concentration camp. If they attack Iran it will ignite the region and they all understand that. This is Trump's version of 'the art of the deal' just threatening people into doing what he wants. We will see what happens.)

from the Daily Sabah

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Israel to hold off on striking Iran, saying a nuclear deal with Tehran was within reach and warning that military action could derail the progress.

"I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday.

Trump added that he remains concerned a "massive conflict" could occur in the Middle East if Iran does not negotiate a deal, but that he continues to urge Tehran to make a deal.

Iran said it has built and will activate a third nuclear enrichment facility, ratcheting up tensions with the U.N. on Thursday, immediately after its atomic watchdog agency censured Iran for failing to comply with nonproliferation obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution," the Iranian Foreign Ministry and Atomic Energy Organization said in a joint statement...

Egypt detains 200 activists, blocks pro-Palestinian Gaza march

from Daily Sabah

...  The Egyptian government has for years clamped down on dissidents and activists when their criticism touches on Cairo’s political and economic ties with Israel, a sensitive issue in neighboring countries where governments maintain diplomatic relations with Israel despite broad public sympathy for Palestinians and the former's war crimes and systematic abuses against them.

Egypt had earlier warned that only those who received authorization would be allowed to travel the planned march route, acknowledging it had received "numerous requests and inquiries.”

"Egypt holds the right to take all necessary measures to preserve its national security, including the regulation of the entry and movement of individuals within its territory, especially in sensitive border areas,” its foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

Israel Katz, Israel’s defense minister, said the protesters "endanger the Egyptian regime and constitute a threat to all moderate Arab regimes in the region.”

The march is set to begin just days after a large convoy, which organizers said included thousands of activists, traveled overland across North Africa to Egypt.

Activists and attorneys said airport detentions and deportations began Wednesday with no explicit reason given by Egyptian authorities...

Secret documents seized by Iran expose IAEA chief's close cooperation with Israel

from PressTV

Thousands of sensitive documents on Israel’s nuclear program recently obtained by the Iranian intelligence reveal direct cooperation between Tel Aviv and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, against Iran. 

Iran's Arabic-language television news network al-Alam TV said in a report on Thursday that leaked documents revealed a major intelligence breakthrough against the Israeli regime.

The newly released documents show that the IAEA chief has been closely cooperating with Israeli officials and has carried out their directives and orders in full, the report said.

This raises questions over the neutrality and independence of the IAEA, it added

A recent report by the semi-official Fars news agency also said that the UN atomic agency had become a tool serving the interests of the Zionist regime.

“These documents clearly show that instead of playing a neutral role, the IAEA has become an instrument serving the objectives of the Zionist regime,” the news agency cited an informed source as saying...

Official: IAEA resolution seeks to pressure Iran into making concessions

PressTV

Iran’s nuclear chief says the “anti-Iran” resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors is aimed at pressuring Tehran into giving concessions.

Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), made the comments in a televised interview on Thursday shortly after the 35-nation Board of Governors passed a resolution accusing Iran of "non-compliance" with its nuclear obligations.

“What we observe today is a series of political moves by the three European countries, Britain, France and Germany, guided by the United States and aided by the IAEA Director General [Rafael Grossi], who is under the influence of the Zionist regime. Their goal is to pressure us into giving concessions,” Eslami stressed.

He also warned that the capacities of the IAEA are being exploited, refereeing to a report by Reuters following the Board of Governors’ vote, headlining that Iran had allegedly failed to fulfill its nuclear commitments to the UN nuclear watchdog.

Why Does the World Hate Strong Jews?

A new cope is making it's way thru the hasbara outlets which borders on paranoid schizophrenia. The world has always hated 'strong' Jews or Jews when they show their strength. That's the line which I believe is bullshit. The world hates it when folks kill and starve children needlessly for their own evil little desires (Gaza 2035) and that makes sense. So let's talk about it.

Pressure Rises on Israel as U.K., Canada and Others Impose Sanctions on 2 Far-Right Ministers

from the NYT

Five Western countries announced on Tuesday that they would impose sanctions on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, a remarkable rebuke of Israel’s leadership and a significant escalation of Western pressure on Israel over settler violence in the West Bank and the conduct of the war in Gaza.

Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Norway jointly imposed the sanctions, which will restrict the right to travel and freeze the financial assets of the Israeli security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich.

Mr. Smotrich, 45, and Mr. Ben-Gvir, 49, are the most hard-line members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet. Both have called for the wholesale expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, in statements that the British foreign secretary, David Lammy, has previously condemned as “monstrous.”

“Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights,” Mr. Lammy and the foreign ministers of the four other countries said in a joint statement on Tuesday. “That is why we have taken action now — to hold those responsible to account.”...

The IMF Would Not Work with Assad but they have No Problem Working With al Qaeda

by Scott Creighton

Every now and again we get a little glimpse into the way the world really works. A peek past the propaganda and thru the smoke screens reveals the IMF willing to work with al Qaeda terrorists we installed in Syria... when they refused to work with Bashar al Assad, the elected leader of the Syrian people.

Anyone remember 9/11?  

It's a kinder, gentler al Qaeda.

Anyone remember al Qaeda killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq?

I must be a dinosaur.  

BTW... Saudi Arabia and Qatar just paid Syria's outstanding IMF bill of $15 million dollars so they can get a nice clean slate and those 'radical Islamists' of the al Qaeda government in Syria will be free to take out more money... from the evil capitalists of the 'Great Satan'

'An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation visited Syria for the first time in 15 years, signaling renewed engagement with the war-torn nation following the fall of Bashar Assad and years of devastating conflict, the IMF said Tuesday... 

In April, Saudi Arabia and Qatar announced they would jointly settle Syria’s $15 million debt to the World Bank. The move paves the way for renewed World Bank operations in the country, which were suspended at the start of the war.' Daily Sabah

Greta Thunberg deported, Israel says, after Gaza aid boat intercepted

 (kidnapped huh?aa They gave her a sandwich and tried to make her watch some hasbara movie about Oct7th complete with all the lies they could come up... and then sent her home I am am sure... coach)

from the BBC

Israel says it has deported Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, a day after the Gaza-bound aid boat she and 11 other people were on was intercepted by Israeli forces in the Mediterranean.

Thunberg departed Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning on a flight to France after she agreed to be deported, the Israeli foreign ministry said.

Upon arriving at an airport in Paris, Thunberg accused Israel of illegally kidnapping her and other activists on the boat while they were in international waters.

France said five of the six French citizens detained alongside her had refused to sign their deportation orders and would now be subject to judicial proceedings...

Greta Gets Some Attention

by Scott Creighton

 

Folks on the fakie left are praising Greta for all the attention she is bringing to the genocide so I thought I would contextualize it for you.

The Selfie Boat Runs Aground as Greta Smiling Eats a Sandwich

by Scott Creighton

 

Parkrose Permaculture and other lefties out there are praising the great Greta for 'bringing attention to' the situation in Gaza.

The situation in Gaza doesn't need attention as it's the most highly publicized campaign of genocide in history. 

What they needed was food, water, medicine, building materials, medical equipment. They needed help. But Greta Thunberg's 'Selfie Boat' stunt never intended to deliver anything to them other than attention.

Question is: attention to whom? 

Here she is receiving a sandwich from the IDF after her luxury yacht was boarded. The thought of what a Gazan mother would do for that little meal to give to her kids should have made Greta weep in shame. 

Instead... this is what we got along with the headlines like 'The Greta photo that exposes the hollowness of Leftie activism'.

 

But still the identity politics is strong with this one.

Scenes from the ICE Destabilization Riots in California

by Scott Creighton

In May of 2020, following the wrongful death of George Floyd while in police custody, the puppet masters manipulated a small organic demonstration into a full on destabilization campaign to rock the nation in the lead-up to the Nov 2020 election.

Today we have something similar taking place.

This time we are being told by the left media and the alt-left influencers that its ICE officers wearing masks and just attacking all the peaceful protesters. 

Here are some videos from what's happening in California. You tell me if that is true.

Let's take a look at the 2025 Freedom Flotilla: 2025 Grifters of the Year Award?

by Scott Creighton

Let's take a look at the 2025 Freedom Flotilla.

On board:

Greta Thunburg: Spoiled child used as a prop by PR guy to be the face of young people in support of the WEF's Global Warming campaign. 'How dare you?' she growled, just like her mother the actor coached her. Greta is getting older, the Global Warming thing is no longer the cause de jour it used to be so now she suddenly cares about Palestinian children. 

 

Rima Hassan: politician, ex-pat from Syria, mother ran off to France and later at age 9 Rima joined her. 'There will be no 2-state solution' 'She condemned equally "Hamas' war crimes", "Israel's impunity", and the "genocide" of the Palestinians'  "the solution is a democratic and secular bi-national state."^[37] Explaining herself later, she specified that she "dreams" of a bi-national state with peaceful coexistence of Palestinians and Israelis, and is in favor of the two-state solution...' 

Yasemin Acar: she has an Instagram account.  Here she is posing on the boat.

 

She looks like she is having a good time. For contrast, here is a photo taken on the Marvi Marmara on the night before the deadly Israeli raid back in May of 2010.

 

Seems to be a more... serious mood on board don't you think? Not a lot of selfies and Instagram video shoots taking place back then.

Huge Win for BDS is a Massive Blow to Netanyahu!

(Bit of good news from the UK. The BDS movement finally convinced the company which made the motors for Israel's quad-copter killer drones to stop filling the orders. These drones are driven hard and brought home to roost wet so the IDF killed drone pilots need a constant stream of new motors to replace the worn out ones. Well, they wont be getting em from this UK manufacturer anymore and that is good news.)

Israeli attacks in Gaza kill more than 70, including several near aid site

(While American audiences are distracted by TrumpyBear vs the MuskyJunkie WWE-style roadshow, Glorious Israel takes advantage by slaughtering another round of innocent civilians and bombing another healthcare facility in hopes they can finally convince the people of Palestine there is no hope and they might as well give up and move to Florida. This is what we have come to expect.)

from al Jazeera

Israeli attacks have killed at least 75 Palestinians across Gaza, medical sources have told Al Jazeera, including at least 16 in a strike on Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood, which the Civil Defence described as a “full-fledged massacre”.

Dozens were also wounded in that Israeli attack on Saturday.

Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said of the attack in Gaza City: “Sources are saying there are dozens of Palestinians still trapped under the rubble. The Civil Defence teams are trying to retrieve bodies and rescue as many Palestinians as possible.”

The Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee announced the latest forced evacuation orders to neighbourhoods in northern Gaza, including northwest of Gaza City and Jabalia.

 Forces will “attack each zone used to launch rockets,” calling on residents to “immediately” move to the southern areas of the enclave, Adraee wrote on X Saturday...

France's war on truth: Why Mahdieh Esfandiari’s arrest, mistreatment should alarm us all

from PressTV

The arrest and incarceration of Iranian academic Mahdieh Esfandiari in France is not an isolated incident but reveals a consistent and deliberate pattern of politically motivated crackdown against those who dare to speak up for truth and justice. 

This pattern goes beyond censorship. It exposes the double standards in France’s approach to free speech: weaponized to serve the Empire and suppressed when used by the marginalized.

Back in 2015, the publication of blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo sparked massive outrage across the Muslim world. 

‘Welfare, not warfare’: Thousands protest in London against austerity cuts

from PressTV

Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday to protest government spending cuts and welfare reforms, voicing outrage over rising military budgets amid deepening social inequality. 

The demonstration—organized by the People’s Assembly—began at Portland Place and made its way to Whitehall, with crowds chanting and holding placards reading “Tax the Rich,” “Nurses Not Nukes,” and “Welfare Not Warfare.”

Trade unionists, campaigners, and activists from across the UK joined the protest under the slogan “No to Austerity 2.0,” calling on the Labour government to abandon austerity policies and invest in public services instead of warfare.

Campaigners condemned Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s economic agenda, accusing his cabinet of hiding behind so-called fiscal rules while enacting cuts that deepen poverty, erode social protections, and widen inequality...

Thousands march in Rome to protest ‘complicity’ on Gaza war

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Italian capital, Rome, to demand an end to the Israeli war on Gaza, while accusing the government of being complicit in the ongoing genocide.  

According to the organizers, up to 300,000 people marched through the streets of the capital city on Saturday, as they waved Palestinian flags and held a wide banner reading, “Stop the massacre, stop complicity!” as well as “Free Palestine” signs.

The rally made its way from Rome’s central Piazza Vittorio to San Giovanni, where opposition parties’ leaders urged an end to the aggression and denounced “the silence” of the far-right Italian government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni...

Aid flotilla nears Gaza after reaching Egypt, organizers say

(Here is an interesting take... I think they might let em come ashore in Gaza and deliver the aid. How much can that little yacht carry anyway? As much as one aid truck? They might be swamped by starving people and that would make for good PR for the Zionists if Greta gets stampeded for some rice. And if not they can step back and say 'see? we let the flotilla in'. It becomes PR for the Zionists either way. The only drawback is when others see them land they will load up a real flotilla and set sail and Israel can't allow for that. But they can deal with that then with a few well placed drones. I think they might let em land. We will see.) 

from Daily Sabah

An aid flotilla with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, has reached the coast of Egypt and is nearing the besieged Gaza Strip, organizers said Saturday.

The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left Sicily last week with a cargo of relief supplies "to break Israel's blockade on Gaza".

"We are now sailing off the Egyptian coast," German human rights activist Yasemin Acar told AFP. "We are all good," she added.

In a statement from London on Saturday, the International Committee for Breaking the Siege of Gaza, a member organization of the flotilla coalition, said the ship had entered Egyptian waters.

The group said it remains in contact with international legal and human rights bodies to ensure the safety of those on board, warning that any interception would constitute "a blatant violation of international humanitarian law"...

In America We Don't Do Kings

by Scott Creighton

I know Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel and all their brown-shirt acolytes would have you believe otherwise, but here in the states we don't grovel at the feet of royalty anymore. 

Not even for the Duke of Orange.

On June 14th his lordship, the Double Fisted Weenie Dancer, is spending up to 90 million bucks to throw himself a Big Beautiful Bash for Flag Day...his birthday. 

He intends to have the military all polished and looking impressive to march by his fatness and impress the world with his mighty might or some shit like that.

Tanks. helicopters, 7500 soldiers all marching up and down the square to appease him on his birthday.

What a tribute he is throwing... for himself.

The Madness of King George. 

So the rest of us, those of us who can still think for ourselves and aren't AFRAID to let Palantir know we still can and do... are going to mark the occasion with No Kings Day. 

That's right folks, there are going to be, at this time, over 1600 demonstrations across the country with one single goal in mind... remind those fascists pricks who think they can remake our nation in the image of 1930s Germany that they cannot and will not... on our watch.

You can go to the website for the demonstration and see if there is a rally planned somewhere near you. I hope there is. 

Meanwhile Palantir is still garnering even MORE data on us all, this time from the C.D.C.

Looks like they are putting the final touches on their Social Credit Score system, you know, the part that ultimately decides if you are a Maker or a Taker. 

Can't have those sick people holding us back, don't you know.

So if you are OK with what The Trumpening looks like so far, by all means, enjoy as TrumpyBear giggles and drools watching all those manly men in uniform march up and down the square for his amusement.

However, if you are of a more discerning temperament, perhaps you might think of attending a No Kings Day demonstration with the rest of us.

Don't be afraid. The only real loss is not even trying. 

(thank you Coach Stansberry for teaching me that so long long ago) 

Madleen Gaza flotilla live tracker: Greta Thunberg, crew move towards Gaza

from al Jazeera

• The Madleen ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), is en route to Gaza, carrying humanitarian aid as the Palestinian enclave faces food shortages due to more than 90 days of total Israeli blockade.
• Climate activist Greta Thunberg is among the 12 activists on board the vessel to break Israel’s siege of the Strip since March 2. The enclave has already been under Israel’s land, sea and air blockade since 2007.
• The Madleen departed Catania, Sicily, on June 1, just one month after Israeli drones bombed another FFC aid ship headed for Gaza. This is the latest effort to send aid into Gaza, where more than 54,000 people have been killed in Israeli bombardment.
• The 2,000km (1,250-mile) journey is expected to take seven days, provided there are no disruptions. The ship’s location is being monitored live by Forensic Architecture and using a Garmin live tracker on board. The latest location as of June 4, at 07:23 GMT, was 70 nautical miles (130km) southwest of the Greek island of Crete.
• Multiple reports in Israeli media say that the military will not allow the ship to reach Gaza, and that the activists risk detention and the seizure of their ship if they failt to comply with the Israeli army.
