Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

🚨🇹🇷🇸🇦 BREAKING: Türkiye and Saudi Arabia sign historic mega-deal to revive the Hejaz Railway!
This massive network will run through Syria and Jordan to Saudi Arabia and Oman, linking Europe to the Middle East by routing far west to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and avoid Iranian influence.
BREAKING: We’ve informed Israel that we will attack Iran in the coming hours. It’s considered a “non-limited major move” on Iran, per buddies in the Pentagon.
Buckle up.
New: On April 1, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George requested an in-person meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — an effort to calm months of tension between Hegseth and senior Army leaders, three officials said.
The meeting never came. The next day, he was fired in the middle of a meeting with Army staff.
“The staff proceeded to, one by one, either go and give him a handshake or a hug,” a Pentagon official recalled. By the next morning, George’s office had been emptied.

The desperate desire of Americans to protect their military is keeping them from admitting that what it is a force in decline--performing poorly, with high losses and little to show for it.
The US military is being weakened in front of our eyes by corruption and incompetence.
Europe is only slowly waking up to China's security services, the MSS, deep penetration. "There is clearly a very strong link between Chinese organised crime and the Chinese state," which makes "implausibile" deniability the go to position.
"The situation in Crimea is worsening every week, and by the fall, if the situation is not reversed, the peninsula could be in a state of siege."

BREAKING: According to CENTCOM, the Iranian Armed Forces shot down a U.S. Army AH-64D Apache attack helicopter over the Hormuz Strait using an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Based on the available information, the weapon responsible was most likely a Shahed-358 loitering surface-to-air UAV operated by either the IRGC Aerospace Force or the IRGC Navy.
