🚨 so let me get this straight..

Iran and the US were 95% done with a deal..

drafts were being traded back and forth through Pakistani mediators as recently as last week..

and then Israel expanded its Lebanon ground assault while the texts were still being exchanged..

Iran had one precondition since February.. full IDF withdrawal from Lebanon and a halt in Gaza before any deal closes.. that was the line..

Israel crossed it.. while the deal was still being written..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..

the US kept messaging over the weekend asking Iran to reopen the strait.. Iran stopped responding.. because the precondition wasn't met.. and they had warned about this exact scenario since April..

so now the deal is dead.. the Pakistan back-channel is offline.. and Iran and the Resistance Front are planning to fully block the Strait of Hormuz..

Bab al-Mandab may be next..

Brent crude is already at $96..

a deal that was one signature away just got killed by a military operation that happened while the drafts were still open on someone's desk..

Iran didn't walk away from diplomacy.. it enforced the one condition everyone decided to ignore.

I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

Memes are no longer just internet humor. They are instruments of narrative warfare. Memes function as psychological & informational weapons in the digital battlespace, why states, platforms & societies can no longer dismiss them as trivial online content

Perhaps this the region for stalemate!

The real issue right now is the time difference between Iran 🇮🇷 and
America 🇺🇸
When Trump makes a threat, the Iranians are asleep 💤 , and when they wake up and respond to that threat, Trump is asleep 😴 . And this cycle 🔄 just keeps going on.

UAE have stated that in the event of a dollar shortage, the country may switch to another currency.

Which currency do you think UAE is referring to?

All of my lifetime we've been told the Russians were coming & were about to invade Europe. And as it turns out, it's the Americans that are coming. Russians aren't even interested

@Kutch2Kibithu What is the threat to Bering Strait? US controls half of it anyways. How does having sovereign control over #greenland help US?

UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan lands in New Delhi at 4:20 pm, meets Narendra Modi at 4:45 pm, and departs at 6:05 pm. Do the maths. From touchdown to take-off, one hour and forty-five minutes.

Anyone with any ideas about what's going on?

[Strategic Prism @StrategicPrism]

A very profound perspective. Something we need to think hard about.

[That Marine Guy🇮🇳 @thatmarineguy21]

An Indian who had been living in Japan for more than a yr noticed something strange : his Japanese friends were polite & helpful, yet none of them ever invited him to their home, not even for a cup of tea.

Confused & hurt, he finally asked one Japanese friend why this was so.

After a long silence, the friend replied, "We are taught Indian history… not for inspiration, but as a warning."

The Indian, astonished, asked, "A warning? Indian history is taught as a warning? Please explain why."

The Japanese friend asked, "How many English ruled India?"

The Indian replied, "Maybe… about 10,000?"

The Japanese person nodded seriously & asked, "At that time, weren’t there over 300 million Indians?"

"So who committed the atrocities on your people? Who followed the orders to whip, torture, & shoot them?"

He asked emphatically, "When General Dyer ordered the firing at Jallianwala Bagh, who pulled the trigger? Was it the English soldiers? No, it was Indians."

"Why didn’t anyone point their rifle at General Dyer, not a single person?" He continued, "The slavery you talk about—this was your real slavery. Not of the body, but of the soul."*

The Indian stood motionless, silent, & ashamed.

The Japanese friend continued, "How many Mughals came from Central Asia? Maybe a few thousand? And yet they ruled you for centuries."

"The Mughals did not rule India through their numbers; it was your own people who bowed to them, obeyed them, betrayed their own, and showed loyalty to the Mughals. Either to survive or for silver coins."

"Your own people converted to their religions."

"Your own people betrayed your heroes to the English. Who betrayed Chandrashekhar Azad? Who informed the English about his hiding place in Alfred Park?"

"Bhagat Singh was not easily executed without the permission of those people (Gandhi-Nehrus) who called themselves patriots."

"You Indians do not need foreign enemies. Your own people repeatedly betray you for power, position, and personal gain. That is why we keep distance from Indians."

"When the English came to Hong Kong and Singapore, not a single local joined their army. But in India, you did not just join the enemy’s army—you served them. You worshipped them. You killed your own people to please them."

"Even today, you have not changed. You have learned no lessons from history. Even for a little free electricity, a bottle of alcohol, or a blanket—you sell your vote, your conscience, and your voice without thinking."

"You chant slogans, protest, but when the country needs your sacrifice, where are you? Your first loyalty is still to your home, family, wife, children, and wealth.

The rest—country —can go to hell."

After saying this, the Japanese left, and the Indian stood there, head bowed, frozen in shame.

Something to think about

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Former Canadian Politician from Iran has a warning for America about Muslims

“Iranian here — pro tip for anyone who's not from the Middle East. No one in the Middle East actually blocks intersections to pray in the streets and yell Allahu Akbar. The reason that they do it in your countries is because they're trying to assert their religious dominance over you and claim your country and turn it into Sharia law.”

BIG BREAKING NEWS 🚨 India REJECTS Hague Court Verdict on Indus Waters Treaty.

UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT 🔥🔥

⚡ Another Pakistani lie EXPOSED:

CM of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, has made serious allegations against Pakistan's ISI and Military Intelligence.

He said: “We conducted operations against the Taliban (TTP) but officers from the ISI and MI came and said these are our people, please let them go.”

On one hand, DG ISPR blames India and calls TTP an Indian proxy and on the other hand, ISI and MI saves the Talibanis on ground.

Pakistan calls itself a victim of terrorism and on the other hand it is sheltering the Taliban and taking billions of dollars from the IMF and World Bank to fight terrorism.

Pakistan survives on war economy!
