.@DeepNotShallow tells Hasan the details about what happened and why multiple venues were cancelled. This shit is absolutely insane and it is so blatantly obvious what happened here. Insane shit. You can't silence the voices of the people.

You lied about Iraq, no one trusts you.

Senior Iranian political source tells @amwajmedia:

As concession following Israel's attack on Beirut, Trump agreed to expedite lifting of the naval blockade.

The US blockade will now be lifted immediately. Until 24 hours ago, plan was to phase it out over 30 days.

Israeli Telegram channel with 180K+ members is in mourning and fury:

"God will curse Trump."

"The first war in Israel's history that we lost."

"We have to admit the facts: Iranians taught America a lesson."

"Hopefully in 10 years we won't be dependent on American idiots."

.@YMekelberg and I were on @BBCWorld discussing Trump's deal with Iran and Netanyahu's failure. I pointed out that though the war should never have been started,m it is a win for Trump to get this MOU, and it will be a win if he gets a final deal. Yossi correctly argued that though both Iran and the US can claim victory, the only real loser here is Netanyahu.

Beyond disgraceful!

The Iranian national soccer team, which will play New Zealand tomorrow in LA, arrived at their hotel only to see a handful of Iranian Monarchists protesting their presence and accusing them of being terrorists. (!??!)

It should be noted: Iranian Monarchists used to cheer the National soccer team - just see all the videos of the former crown prince cheering them - but that all appears to have changed after the Monarchists joined forces with Israel.

Tehran signals that it is going to strike Israel for having violated Iran's red line by striking Beirut.

The question is whether the strike will be more performative because of potential concessions Trump will offer Iran to refrain from a full response.

Trump on the first day of the Iran war:

When we are finished, take over your government—it will be yours to take.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump on Iran:

As far as regime change, I never cared about regime change.

This is the third group we’ve dealt with, and this is the most rational group yet.

Over 100 people were arrested outside Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London during the sentencing of four Palestine Action activists involved in a raid on an Elbit Systems UK factory.

A sit-in involving around 200 people took place, alongside others holding placards saying: “Saving lives is not terrorism … I support Palestine Action.”

The demonstration consisted of peaceful protesters, including older participants, gathered outside the court in support of those being sentenced.

A number of older participants, some said to be in their late 80s and 90s, were also detained after taking part in a silent protest and holding supportive placards.

On @PoliticsJOE_UK, Hasan speaks to Jeremy Corbyn and Seán Hickey about his banning from the UK. Corbyn says that he understands where Hasan is coming from and explains that Hasan has to rise above it, otherwise he'll keep addressing it, which is exactly what happened to him.
