💢 BREAKING: Both Hezbollah and Houthis drones were just launched toward Israel.
Hezbollah drones have crossed into northern Israel, footage shared below shows, despite Israel’s Defense Minister Katz today threatening new strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs if northern Israel was attacked again.
This ceasefire by #Iran cannot logically last, as it would mean that #Israel would then be following Iran's dictates regarding Lebanon. Iran's ceasefire is something of a red line, even a dare, as it comes with conditions that require obedience from Israel.
There will be no agreement until Trump accepts and implements Iran’s conditions. There will be no compromise. The Islamic Republic can wait until the Trump economy crumbles.
BREAKING: Iran announces that it is HALTING its military operations against Israel after several attacks by both sides.
Details include:
1. The IRGC warned that any further strikes by Israel in Iran or Lebanon would trigger "a far stronger and more forceful response"
2. The move comes an hour after President Trump said "Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting"
3. Trump also announced that "Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate ceasefire"
US stocks are rising on the news.
MAGA -- soon as they got right back into power -- went from "The evil Deep State is interfering in our politics" to "We demand that the NSA and CIA have the right to spy on American citizens without warrants."

Yemen's military has announced the re-imposition of the blockade on Israeli ships in the Red Sea, in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza, and that following the Yemeni retaliatory strike on Tel Aviv this morning, it will meet "escalation with escalation."
Iranian official to Fars:
If attacks on energy infrastructure continue, all oil and gas facilities linked to Israel, the United States, and their allies—including regional energy installations—will be targeted by Iran's armed forces.
Oil companies and energy-sector assets in the region with American or Israeli ownership are considered legitimate targets by Iran.
Any action in the region—whether the US itself violates the ceasefire or does so through the Zionist regime in Lebanon—holds the US accountable, and the consequences of escalating tensions will fall on America."
🚨 Following last night's aggression by Israeli aircraft against targets in Iran, Iranian armed forces targeted the two air bases of Navatim and Tel Nof in Operation Nasr.

@univrsle It's also a novel arrangement: go back several decades, and the US mattered little in Canada's export strategy. This dependency is entirely artificial.
@univrsle Then I will say it: you not only can replace the US as a major trading partner, you must. In the extreme, you won't even have the choice if the US continues its death spiral. There is no "law of nature" that dictates the US has to be a major trading partner.
