Reminder that USCENTCOM still denies the fact that they are quietly attempting to escort Oil Tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
Why ? Because many oil tankers end up in flames (without UKMTO reporting), and Trump admin doesnt want the public to know this.
Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.
Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.
Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.
History will record that Iran was the only country that defended southern Lebanon and forced a halt to the bombing of Beirut at a time when all Arabs, including the Lebanese government, remained silent.
The #EU’s statement blaming Iran for exercising its right to self-defense against U.S. aggression launched from bases in neighboring countries is a masterclass in selective moral outrage; it is hypocritical and reckless.
The EU (@eu_eeas) must remain faithful to the rule of law and the principles of the UN Charter that it has long claimed to uphold. It must stop appeasing aggressors while blaming those who respond to unlawful attacks.
Iran’s strikes against those bases & assets that are used to launch unlawful attacks against Iran are a lawful exercise of self-defense.
States have an established legal obligation not to allow their territory or assets to be used for invading other countries.
Finito.
I used to hold those who support Israel in moral disgust, eliciting a deep visceral revulsion.
Today I hold ALL those not disgusted by Israel in moral disgust.
Life is too short to tolerate evil & abettors of evil.
What if I told you that Dior is nothing more than a shameless thief of Chinese culture? What’s the fucking problem with Chinese people taking back what’s rightfully ours?
Jewish-American orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who worked in Gaza, said Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive at Nasser Hospital — their cries muffled by the dirt poured over them.
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
Germany must enter into serious negotiations with the Russian Federation immediately.
Germany must not allow automobile manufacturers like VW and Mercedes-Benz to be transformed into producers of drone parts and military equipment. Money is not everything.
Germany must not return to the use of nuclear power plants whatsoever.
Germany should acknowledge its historical responsibility for the two World Wars and continue learning from that past in shaping its foreign policy, including its reckless interference in West Asia.
Germany must no longer hold Europe and the wider world hostage through failed foreign policies and double standards.
Germany must strive to rediscover strategic independence and responsible political leadership.
Germany and its Chancellor @bundeskanzler@_FriedrichMerz must.......

I'd bet $100 that Bret and his crew were hoping to get the money shot here: a Chinese police officer telling them to get off the road that they could use as evidence of authoritarianism.
@WSJ Brazen? What kind of WSJ propaganda. WSJ has never used the word “brazen” to describe US supplying Israel with all the bombs and weapons used in Gaza genocide. That is how brazen the WSJ is.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.
The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.
Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
