There is simply no justification for the United States pushing through vessels along the Omani coastline in the Strait of Hormuz. You can cry and scream about "freedom of navigation", but at the end of the day, the Memorandum of Understanding was very clear that Iran would control the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz during the initial 60-day window.

Time and time again, the United States has shredded the MOU by attempting to retroactively alter the terms because they didn't "like them". Of course you didn't like them. They suck... because you LOST.

Oil sanction waivers a la Article 10? Torched.
No new sanctions a la Article 9? Blown up.
Iranian administration of traffic a la Article 5? Nope.

You can whine all day long about how it's "wrong" for Iran to strike those vessels, but this is a rational response to a war of choice from the United States. You don't get to claim "right vs. wrong" when the Trump Administration is solely to blame for this situation in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz was open before this war started.

The REASON that the United States was attempting an Operation Freedom 2.0 along the Omani Route was BECAUSE they were trying to actively undermine the Iranian control of the Strait. They were trying to actively push through enough vessels in a short enough period of time to shift the strategic landscape of the conflict.

I have seen time and time again people claim, "Iran doesn't know what's best for them. If they just didn't strike vessels, they would get massive sanctions relief"... No, they wouldn't. Because President Trump and the United States had no INTENTION of sticking to the MOU. The goal was to use this 60-day window to shift the landscape so that they could topple the regime or secure outcomes they could not have in the initial MOU.

This isn't "the US operating in good faith and those pesky Iranians messed everything up".

This is the United States blatantly trying to unilaterally alter the terms of the MOU by shredded the oil waivers, sanctioning new entities, and pushing vessels through the Omani Route.

Exclusive: Six soldiers died on day two of the Iran war in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. Dozens more were wounded, some seriously.

It's one of the war's costliest attacks for U.S. personnel — and survivors fear no one will be held accountable. https://t.co/jBXpUs3bZz

🇺🇸Marco Rubio in MARCH: "Goal of the war is to change the regime."

🇺🇸Marco Rubio in APRIL: "Goal of the war is to stop 🇮🇷 Iran from making nukes."

🇺🇸Marco Rubio in JULY: "Goal of the war is to return everything 'back to the way it was,' including the Strait of Hormuz." 🤣

Americans have elected a bunch of clowns

The US has just deployed 20 warships and 2 aircraft carriers to the Middle East. The war is back on, and it’s not only because of Israel. It’s also because the entire U.S. economy is propped up by waging wars abroad to loot and control other countries’ resources.

When you finally arrive in China for the first time, from the West, you will experience two distinct sets of feelings.

One, you will realize China is astoundingly modern, clean efficient, and infrastructure is beyond compare, alongside the fact that Chinese people are kind.

But also, you will understand how Western legacy media has decieved you, either by design or lack of insight. And you will further lose trust in the ability of Western media to tell you the truth about China, and possibly, the world in general.

A British surgeon tells the BBC what he saw in Gaza.

"I can remember one child for example who was 7, Amir... He heard a drone above him, turned round, and then it fired on him. And we had many many reports like that from children and adults."

[Graham Banks @grahambanks01]

A few days ago, Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh (@dr.hussam73) said these words to his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me...they brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end”.

JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS, BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS UNFAIR, BUT BLOCKING OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA IN ORDER TO COLLAPSE THEIR WHOLE COUNTRY, IS FAIR 🤔 DID I GET THAT RIGHT 🙄

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of a major Gaza hospital, is in immediate life-threatening danger.

Detained by Israel without charge since 2024, he has new head, eye and neck injuries.

I call on our Foreign Secretary to demand Israel provides urgent treatment and releases him.

@johnmcdonnellMP Thank you.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I raised the case of the imprisoned Palestinian doctor, Dr. Hussain Abu Safiya, in Parliament this week. We now hear from Physicians for Human Rights Israel his life is in imminent danger. Have contacted UK minister to call for urgent intervention by the government.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.

🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness.

🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.

🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law.

🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”

Paid my respects and conveyed deepest condolences on behalf of the Government and people of Pakistan, to the Government and brotherly people of Iran at the funeral ceremony of the late Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Shaheed Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

The late Supreme Leader’s wisdom, leadership and profound influence on Iran and the wider region will be remembered for generations.

To demonstrate our solidarity with the Iranian people, I was accompanied by a high powered delegation including DPM Ishaq Dar, CDF & COAS Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, senior Parliamentarians, including Chairman Pakistan People's Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, as well as senior Ministers and government officials.

As a brotherly neighbor, Pakistan stands with Iran in this time of grief.

[Afshin Rattansi @afshinrattansi]

US-Iran history they don’t teach you:

On this day in 1988, the US warship USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 665 with two surface to air missiles, killing all 290 passengers on board.

The US refused to issue an official apology or acknowledged wrongdoing, and official investigations were treated as an afterthought.

Months after the tragedy on the campaign trail, President George H. W. Bush said “I will never apologise for the United States. I don’t care what the facts are.”

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇮🇷 Over 100 countries sent delegations to Khamenei's funeral and the guest list tells you almost everything about the new geopolitical map.

Russia sent Medvedev as Putin's personal envoy. China sent senior parliamentary leadership. Pakistan's Prime Minister came with the Army Chief in tow. Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan's Taliban deputy PM, Oman, all present.

Hezbollah and Hamas delegations in the hall alongside Shia scholars from across the world.

And zero European countries, after Iran's Foreign Ministry explicitly told them they weren't invited because they were on the wrong side of history.

This funeral is also a realignment map. Every country that showed up and at what level is a data point about where they see themselves in whatever comes after Khamenei.

The countries that sent heads of state versus special envoys versus parliamentary officials versus nobody at all is a complete picture of the post-war Middle East order being drawn at this very moment around a coffin in Tehran.
