Reuter’s outline of the US and Iran agreement doesn’t mention any promise by US not to destabilise the Iranian regime. But the agreement doesn’t cover Iran’s ballistic missiles, and Pres Trump seems to say they could keep some. Reuter says Iran promises not to make or acquire any nuclear weapons, but then it has always promised not to. The MoU also promises the eventual release of $25 billion to Iran in frozen assets, and a $300 billion rehabilitation fund to rebuild Iran. So Iran gets a huge amount of money in exchange for agreeing not to do what it always said it wouldn’t, and for reopening the Hormuz Strait which was always open until the US attacks.

In an exclusive interview, I asked Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun what message he has for the Israeli people. Here’s what he said.

Pope Leo XIV in Madrid: “I encourage you to nurture the process of European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity.”

Wonderful.
A powerful reminder of how beautiful and hopeful the European project truly is.

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law.

She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

"The Iranian pottery may end up in pieces all over the floor, but you can be sure Donald J. Trump won't be taking the rap for that."

@TrevorPTweets reflects on how Trump would be unlikely to take responsibility for any 'disaster' resulting from a conflict with Iran.

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken told me that, after October 7th, "we came within about 30 minutes of having a war in the North, based on bad information the Israelis had about an imminent attack from Hezbollah."

“The military strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran violate international law and threaten regional and global security.”

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.

We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.

Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant. And she's right. But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either.

I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote—like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.

My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.

And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Shocking war crimes. Not only are we continuing to witness indefensible killing of civilians & forced displacement of a population, but we are also seeing targeting of journalists to prevent coverage of reality.
Where’s the outrage from EU & US leadership? https://t.co/1lSxBbewHT
