💔🇮🇷 WATCH: This morning, the US-Israel bombed this woman's modest home in West Tehran

She says, "They claim they don't hit residential areas. This is a residential area, not connected to the military."

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest.

It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards.

And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride.

Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children.

That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

Attacking civilian infrastructure, and acutely desalinization plants, is a war crime. Will 🇺🇸 armed forces accept orders to do so?

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Trump says his “favourite thing” is to take Iran’s oil, dismissing critics in the US as “stupid people.”

This is the current state of the highly publicised Zim Cyber City project in Mount Hampden, which was officially launched in July 2022.

Construction at the site was expected to begin in 2022 as part of a US$500 million development funded by a Dubai-based investor, with Paul Tungwarara involved in the project. The project was planned to be completed in phases over about three years. Some sections were expected to be ready between 2024 and 2025.

The project was meant to include modern buildings such as apartments, offices, shops and hotels, forming part of a much larger new capital city plan estimated at up to US$60 billion. However, despite these plans, there is still very little to show on the ground. So far, only a few small buildings have been constructed, and most of the major structures that were promised have not yet been built.

ZANU PF cadres are trying to come up with all sorts of dirty allegations about me to derail us from debating the amendment of the constitution to extend his term. But at the end of the day we need to ask ourselves, does he deserve a term extension. Has he been successful enough to deserve a term extension? CAB3

Reporter: There's a report that the US is going to let a Russian oil tanker go to Cuba?

Trump: If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba, I have no problem with that.

Reporter: Do you worry that that helps Putin?

Trump: It doesn’t help him. He loses one boatload of oil. That’s all it is. It doesn’t bother me.

[Ankit Mayank @mr_mayank]

BREAKING : 🇺🇸 Trump has gone completely insane like Netanyahu

Journalist — You said Cuba will be next?

Trump — Yeah, Cuba will be next. Cuba is a failing country and we will be there to help them out 🤯

What after Cuba? Greenland or Canada?

President Cyril Ramaphosa becomes the first African President to openly and publicly oppose US-Israel attack on Tehran and other areas.

"The illegal war that is being raged by the US and Israel is another act of imperialism".

🚨 BREAKING:

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel plans to propose to Trump to establish American bases on its territory, moving bases away from other territories (i.e. the Gulf) as well as to build new facilities

I don’t know what to make of this to be honest. In case you’re not aware, the U.S. does not and never had a base in Israel, ever, and Israel never requested one.

BREAKING: The UAE has begun canceling residency visas for all Iranian nationals currently outside the country, including golden visa holders who own property and companies. Iranian schools closed. The Iranian hospital in Dubai shuttered. The consulate ordered to reduce to minimum staff. Repatriation running through Afghanistan via Herat. Iran International confirmed March 28. The IranianUAE portal verified the scope expanded March 27 to include property owners and company registrants with ten-year golden visas.

Here is the insight nobody has written.

For thirty years, Dubai was Iran’s back door to the global financial system. When sanctions locked Tehran out of SWIFT, Iranian money flowed through Dubai’s free zones, currency exchanges, and shadow companies to access dollars Washington denied. The WSJ reported March 5 that the UAE is exploring freezing billions in Iranian-held assets in these structures. Not the $530 billion Tehran Times claimed in propaganda inflation. Billions. Targeted. The arteries of a parallel financial system that kept the Islamic Republic liquid for decades.

The UAE is now cauterising those arteries with visa cancellations and asset freezes.

Iran built two financial operating systems. The first was the Dubai back door: dollar-denominated, SWIFT-adjacent, running through free zones and golden visa holders who served as nodes in a sanctions-evasion network. The second is the Hormuz front door: yuan-denominated, CIPS-routed, running through the Larak toll regime being codified into law. The war is destroying the first and accelerating the second simultaneously.

The dollar back door is closing. Schools shut. Hospital shuttered. Consulate downsized. Visas canceled. Assets frozen. Every currency exchange that processed dollar transactions for sanctioned entities is a target. Every golden visa holder who served as beneficial owner for a shell company is stateless outside the country.

The yuan front door is opening. The Larak toll booth collects in yuan via CIPS. The legislation advances. The IRGC escorts approved vessels. The system does not require Dubai. The system does not require dollars. The system requires only Iranian control of 21 miles of water.

Iran’s financial centre of gravity is migrating from Dubai to Hormuz. From free zones to a chokepoint. From SWIFT-adjacent dollar flows to CIPS-routed yuan flows. From an architecture requiring Emirati hospitality to one requiring only territorial control over water.

The UAE did not intend to accelerate de-dollarisation. It intended to punish Iran. But the punishment eliminates the dollar back door while the war builds the yuan front door. Iran’s financial system is being forcibly migrated from one currency to another by the combined actions of its enemies.

Read this against the intercept count. The UAE has engaged 398 ballistic missiles and 1,872 drones since February 28. The nation absorbing those strikes is dismantling the financial infrastructure its attacker used to survive sanctions for thirty years. The flag of the Islamic Republic has been physically removed from the Iranian hospital building in Dubai.

This is not a visa policy. This is the severing of a financial umbilical cord. And the severing happens at the exact moment Iran is building a replacement cord that runs on yuan through a chokepoint instead of dollars through a free zone.

The financial geography of the Middle East is being redrawn. The kinetic war destroys military targets. The financial war destroys the infrastructure that kept Iran connected to dollars. The replacement, built from necessity at Larak, runs on a different currency entirely.

Dubai was the dollar door. Hormuz is the yuan door. The war closed one and opened the other. Neither side planned it that way.
