La Ley que se discute en sesiones extraordinarias sobre “sustancia económica” es necesaria para cumplir con normas internacionales y ayudar a que Panamá salga de las listas de la OCDE.

Sin embargo, entendiendo que en Panamá el servicio es nuestro petróleo, debemos encontrar un balance que nos permita cumplir sin perder competitividad.

La modificación al Art. 710 del Código Fiscal debe ser evaluada cuidadosamente por @mef_pma , ya que representa una imposición a personas naturales y jurídicas panameñas que en nada contribuye a salir de las listas de la OCDE.

🚩 Peace with Israel is the single most terrifying word in Lebanese politics, not because it threatens Lebanon, but because it threatens every faction that has built its empire on the permanent absence of it.

I have watched this country for decades, and I will tell you what no one on a podium has the courage to say: the people who oppose peace are not protecting Lebanon; they are protecting their own relevance. Hezbollah cannot exist without the “enemy” at the gate. Iran cannot justify its corridor to the Mediterranean without a front line that never closes. And every warlord turned statesman who laundered a militia past into a cabinet future needs permanent instability the way a parasite needs a host.

That is why they prefer death over peace. Not Lebanese death, which has never cost them a single sleepless night, but the death of the system that feeds them. Christians watched their presidency hollowed into a rubber stamp issued from Dahiyeh. Sunnis watched Rafik Hariri assassinated and his political heirs forced to coexist with the architecture of his assassination. The Druze watched their autonomy reduced to a phone call from a handler. Every community outside Hezbollah’s orbit has been living under undeclared occupation disguised as national unity, and the absence of peace is the lock on the cage.
Sixty years of rejectionism didn’t liberate a square meter, didn’t build a single power plant, and didn't secure a future. It buried 200,000 people, bankrupted a nation, exiled a generation, and delivered total strategic control to a militia that answers to Tehran and calls it sovereignty.

Anyone still defending this isn’t a patriot. They are either an operative, or a hostage so conditioned by captivity that they have mistaken the warden for a guardian.

This is why peace isn’t just a diplomatic position; it is the single act capable of collapsing the entire architecture of Lebanese captivity. The moment the war justification disappears, Hezbollah loses its veto, Iran loses its last ideological foothold on the Mediterranean, and every political actor in Beirut is forced to stand naked, stripped of the conflict they’ve hidden behind for half a century.

And then, only then, the Lebanese can finally have the conversation that’s been strangled since Taif: what does this country actually look like when no one holds a gun to the table? Perhaps it’s federalism. Perhaps it’s partition. Perhaps it’s a model no one has written yet. But that conversation is impossible as long as one armed faction holds the permanent right to override every community in the name of a resistance that resists nothing except Lebanon’s own survival.

The opponents of peace know this perfectly well. They know that the day Lebanon signs, their operating myth dies. That’s why they will fight it with every tool they have: religious guilt, nationalist shame, sectarian fear. Because peace doesn’t just end a conflict with Israel; it starts a reckoning with them. And they would rather bury another generation than face that reckoning.

Enough. The absence of peace has already cost Lebanon everything except its last heartbeat, and the men who caused it are now asking for more time. They’ve had a century. The answer is no.

اللبنانيين لازم يوقفوا يكذّبوا على حالن.
هالبلد مش “عالِق” بحرب إقليمية، ومش ضحية صدفة أو سوء حظ.
الحقيقة أبسط وأقسى: لبنان واقع تحت احتلال إيراني، وهيدا هو السبب الحقيقي ليش عم يتحوّل لساحة قتل.
الحرس الثوري الإيراني وحزب الله عم يستخدموا اللبنانيين، كل اللبنانيين، كدروع بشرية.
هيدا مش شعار. مش مبالغة. هيدا الواقع.
أكتر من مية غارة إسرائيلية على لبنان لازم تكون جرس إنذار. بيتك مش آمن، حيّك مش آمن، ومنطقتك مش آمنة—مش لأنو هيك القدر، بل لأنو في ناس قررت تستخدم هالمساحات المدنية لمشاريعها: تخبّي سلاحها، تعمل اجتماعاتها، تدير شبكاتها، وتخزّن مصاريها بين العالم و تلتقي بعشيقاتهم.
إنت مش محمي. إنت مكشوف و انت ميت اوعى حدن بقلك غير هيك.
قبل بساعات من ما تنكسر سكينة بيروت بالقنابل، حزب الله ما كان عم يجهّز لتهدئة ولا لحل. كان عم يثبّت سيطرته—سياسية وعسكرية- شي بيشبه انقلاب تدريجي، متغطي بشعار “النصر الإلهي”. وهيدا الشعار عملياً بيعطيه الحق يسكّت أي معارض، يهدّد، وإذا لزم، يقتلوا.
هيدا مش مقاومة. هيدا زعرنة.
صح، القنابل اللي نزلت على بيروت رح تترك جروح. بس بيروت تعوّدت تداوي جروحها وترجع تقوم.
اللي ما رح يطيب هو شي تاني: استمرار هالمنطق الطائفي السام، اللي حوّل اللبنانيين -وخاصة الشيعة- لأدوات بمشروع أكبر منن. مشروع ما بيسألهم، وما بيمثّلهم، بس بيطلب منن يدفعوا الثمن.
هيك منطق حوّل لبنان لبلد تهجير دائم. ناس بتتهجّر، بترجع، وبتتهجّر من جديد. وكل مرة بينقالها “اصبروا”.
هيدا مش صمود. هيدا انهيار بطيء.
وإذا ضلّ هيك، النتيجة واضحة: انفجار من جوّا.
النجاة اليوم ما بتيجي بالشعارات. بتيجي بفعل بسيط: إنك تدافع عن حياتك. عن ولادك. عن أهلك. وما تسمح لحدا يقنعك إنو هيدا الواقع طبيعي أو لازم تتقبّلو.
حزب الله ما رح يوقف. لأنو بقاءه مرتبط بهيدا الواقع، حتى لو كان الثمن البلد كلو.
وهون السؤال الحقيقي: يا بتكمّلوا تعيشوا بمنظومة عم تحوّل بيوتكم لأهداف، يا بتبلّشوا تسترجعوا بلدكم—الدولة، الشارع، ومعنى إنو تكون مواطن.
وإذا في سلاح، أو عناصر، أو شبكات عم تشتغل من بين البيوت، المسؤولية مش إنك تتجاهل أو تتأقلم. المسؤولية إنك ترفض، تفضح، وتطالب بمعالجة هيدا الواقع ضمن القانون وبشكل جماعي و اذا و لا بد ما بيحك ظفرك الأ جلدك.
أي شي أقل من هيك هوي هبل و الهبل بيقتل

Para todos esos zoquetes que están indignados porque hayan tumbado al régimen asesino de los ayatolás, solo recuerden que el gobierno de esas escorias financió a Hezbollah, el mismo grupo que perpetró el atentado terrorista contra el vuelo 901 de Alas Chiricanas.

21 muertos, y ustedes defendiendo a los asesinos. Manga de imbéciles.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

They did not bomb Iran. They waited for Iran’s entire leadership to sit down in the same room and then they bombed Iran.

Months of intelligence. Thousands of hours of surveillance and signal intercepts. One variable: the moment the Supreme Leader, the President, and senior military command gathered in a single location at the same time.

That moment was 8:15 this morning. Daylight. Every previous Israeli strike on Iran came at night. June 2025 launched in darkness. October 2024 after midnight. Iran’s entire air defense doctrine is built around the assumption that Israel attacks in the dark. Israel attacked in broad daylight because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting.

Reuters confirms strikes targeted Khamenei and Pezeshkian. CNN confirms months of joint US-Israeli planning. Israeli officials confirmed the strike hit the location where Iran’s top officials were gathered. Whether Khamenei was moved before the strike or extracted after is the most consequential unknown on the planet right now. If before, someone inside Tehran’s inner circle told Jerusalem when and where the meeting would happen. If after, the strikes hit the room and he survived. Both scenarios are catastrophic for the regime.

Because Iran’s leadership now knows three things. Israel knew where they were meeting. Israel knew when they were meeting. Israel knew who would be in the room. And everything we watched over the past month, the F-22s at Ovda, the tankers at Ben Gurion, Al Udeid emptied to zero, 270 transport flights, all of it was the delivery architecture for one precision strike on one gathering.

Every future meeting of Iran’s senior leadership now carries one question: does Israel know about this one too.

This is not a military operation. This is the destruction of institutional trust inside a regime. Every general who sits with Khamenei tomorrow will wonder who told Jerusalem about today. Every IRGC commander who receives a meeting summons will calculate whether attendance is duty or a death sentence. Every secure facility in Tehran has been proven insecure.

In June 2025 Israel killed 30 generals in the opening minutes. That was brute force across dispersed targets. This was a scalpel. One meeting. One moment. Months of patience.

Iran fired missiles at six countries in retaliation. Most intercepted. One civilian dead from debris in Abu Dhabi. Saudi Arabia responded by pledging all its capabilities against Iran. The Gulf coalition that did not exist yesterday exists today because Tehran built it by attacking everyone simultaneously.

Israel traded one morning of precision strikes for the permanent destruction of Iran’s command cohesion.

That is not a battle. That is checkmate disguised as a first move. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously. Here is what actually happened to each of them.

Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck.

UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with.

Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning.

Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities.

Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself.

Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications.

Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically. In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating.

Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next.

And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything.

Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself.

One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris.

This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again.

They will not let it happen again.

Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo.

Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran.

Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.
