جزئیات پیشنویس تفاهمنامه ۱۴ مادهای ایران و آمریکا یعنی
۱- بازشدن #تنگههرمز در قدم اول. یعنی حل مشکلات اقتصادی و سیاسی ترامپ. کشورها معمولا مهمترین اهرم قدرت خود را در قدم اول به طرف مقابل تقدیم نمیکنند.
۲- بعد از باز شدن تنگه هرمز و کاهش قیمت نفت:
ذخایر نفتی آمریکا دوباره پر میشود.
و در فرصت ایجاد شده سامانههای نظامی آمریکا و اسرائیل ترمیم و بازسازی میشوند.
۳- این یعنی تکرار چرخه حمله، آتشبس، مذاکره، حمله. دشمنی افرادی که رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی را شهید کردند علیه ایران کم نشده. پیدا کردن بهانه برای خروج از تفاهمنامه برای ترامپ کار مشکلی نیست. ترامپ نباید بتواند ادعا کند که هزینه حمله نظامی دوم به ایران قابل تحمل بوده. آمریکا و اسرائیل با استفاده از این فرصت تنفسی، خود را برای حملات بعدی آماده خواهند کرد. طراحی برای کودتای دوم نیز در دستور کار است.
۴- تحریمهای اصلی علیه ایران تحریمهای کنگره است، نه تحریمهای قوه مجریه. به این ترتیب ترامپ با عنوان اینکه نمیتواند کنگره را مجبور به برداشتن تحریمها کند دبه خواهد کرد.
۵- از سال ۲۰۱۵ هر توافقی با ایران ذیل قانون اینارا نیاز به رأی مثبت کنگره دارد. با توجه به نفوذ لابی اسرائیل، کنگره به برداشته شدن تحریمها علیه ایران رأی مثبت نخواهد داد. نفوذ نتانیاهو در بین نمایندههای دمکرات و جمهوریخواه بیشتر از ترامپ است.
راهحل:
۱- لطفا این تفاهمنامه را امضا نکنید.
۲- لطفا لیستی از تأسیسات آبشیرینکن و تأسیسات نفتی هدف ایران در منطقه منتشر کنید. در صورت حمله مجدد به ایران، این تأسیسات باید به گونهای تخریب شوند که بازسازی آنها حداقل دو سال زمان ببرد.
تخریب محدود بازدارندگی لازم را ایجاد نمیکند. ترامپ به تخریب محدود این تأسیسات به عنوان پروژه بازسازی برای شرکتهای آمریکایی نگاه میکند. اما تخریب گسترده قیمتهای جهانی نفت و گاز را برای حداقل دو سال بالا نگه میدارد و بازدارندگی لازم را ایجاد میکند. مسیرهای جایگزین تنگه هرمز باید در اولویت اهداف ایران باشد.
۳- لطفا تنگه هرمز را برای حداقل دو ماه دیگر باز نکنید. در سه ماه گذشته ایران بیش از ۳۰ میلیارد دلار نفت فروخته، این مبلغ برای مدیریت اقتصادی دو ماه آینده کافی است.
۴- لطفا دریافت عوارض از تنگه هرمز را فراموش نکنید. بر اساس برآوردهای بینالمللی عوارض حاصل از تنگه هرمز میتواند بیشتر از دو برابر فروش نفت باشد. بخشی از راه حل مشکلات اقتصادی کشور همین است، نه در توهم رفع تحریمها ماندن.

🚨 WTF?! Al Jazeera confirms 77,000 Japanese citizens were found dead alone in their homes last year, some undiscovered for months!
The crisis is so catastrophic that a yogurt delivery company is now the frontline survival network to check if the elderly have collapsed!
When the President of France visited the United States in April 1960, he asked the FBI to help him find a man.
The man he was looking for was an American citizen. He was sixty-four years old. He had been awarded fifteen French military decorations and — six months earlier, in a ceremony in Paris — had been made a Knight of the Légion d'honneur, the highest civilian honor France can give. The medal had been pinned to his chest by the President himself, who had publicly called him un véritable héros français. A true French hero.
The FBI located the man within a few days.
He was operating an elevator at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The elevator operator's name was Eugene Bullard. He had been born in Columbus, Georgia, in 1895, the son of a man whose own father had been a slave.
He had run away from Columbus at the age of eleven, after watching a white mob nearly lynch his father.
He spent the next several years drifting through the American South. At sixteen, he stowed away on a German freighter at Norfolk, Virginia. He landed in Aberdeen, Scotland. From there he made his way to London, where he learned to box. By 1913, at eighteen, he was prizefighting in Paris.
When Germany invaded France in August 1914, Bullard was nineteen years old. He had no legal obligation to fight. He had no French citizenship.
He went to the recruiting office on October 19, 1914, and signed up for the French Foreign Legion.
He spent the next eighteen months as an infantryman in some of the worst fighting of the war — at the Somme, at Champagne, at Verdun. He was wounded three times. The third wound, on March 5, 1916, tore open his thigh and left him with permanent damage to his leg.
He was twenty years old. The doctors told him he would not return to the infantry.
He decided he wanted to fly.
In a Paris café in the spring of 1916, while he was recovering, Bullard mentioned to three white American friends that he was thinking of joining the French air service. A Mississippian named Jeff Dickson laughed.
Gene, Dickson said, you know damn well there aren't any Negroes in aviation.
Bullard answered: Sure do. That's why I want to get into it. There has to be a first to everything, and I'm going to be the first.
Dickson bet him two thousand dollars he would not make it.
Bullard took the bet. He earned his pilot's license on May 5, 1917. He won the bet.
He reported to the front in August 1917 and flew approximately twenty combat missions over the next three months in a SPAD VII. The fuselage was painted with a bleeding heart pierced by a knife and the French phrase Tout le Sang qui Coule est Rouge — All Blood that Flows is Red.
He carried, on every combat flight, a small capuchin monkey named Jimmy in the front of his flight jacket.
The French press began calling him L'Hirondelle Noire — the Black Swallow.
When the United States entered the war in 1917, Bullard immediately applied to transfer to the U.S. Army Air Service.
His application was rejected.
The U.S. Army Air Service had a policy, in 1917, of not accepting Black pilots. The other American pilots flying for France in his unit, all of them white, were transferred to the U.S. Air Service.
He was the only one who was not.
For the next twenty years, he was one of the most familiar faces in the Montmartre nightlife of Paris between the wars. He owned a nightclub called L'Escadrille. He spoke fluent French, English, and German. Hemingway drank there. Fitzgerald drank there. Langston Hughes drank there. Josephine Baker performed there. Louis Armstrong was a personal friend.
When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Bullard was forty-four. His fluent German and his ownership of a nightclub frequented by German officers made him useful to the French Resistance. He became an intelligence agent — eavesdropping in his own bar on conversations between German officers who did not know he understood every word.
When France fell in June 1940, friends in the Resistance smuggled him across the Spanish border before the Gestapo could arrest him.
He came back to the United States for the first time in twenty-eight years.
He arrived in New York with thirty dollars in his pocket and a permanent limp.
He did not return to a hero's welcome. He returned to a country that had no idea who he was.
He worked at a perfume counter. He worked as a security guard. He worked at the Staten Island shipyards. By the late 1940s, he had taken the job that he would hold for most of the rest of his life.
He operated the elevator at Rockefeller Center.
He was wearing the elevator uniform on the day a producer from NBC came down from the studios upstairs to ask if he was the man Charles de Gaulle had been looking for.
A few weeks later, NBC sent a film crew to interview him in the lobby. The studios where NBC produced The Today Show were on the floors above. He had operated the elevator that took the network executives up to those studios every morning for nearly ten years. He had not been recognized as he did it.
He went back to operating the elevator the following Monday.
He died of stomach cancer on October 12, 1961, three days after his sixty-sixth birthday.
He was buried in the French War Veterans' section of Flushing Cemetery, in Queens, in the uniform of the French Foreign Legion. The casket was draped with the French flag.
In 1994 — thirty-three years after his death — the United States Air Force formally commissioned Eugene Jacques Bullard as a Second Lieutenant, posthumously.
It was the first commission the U.S. military had ever offered him.
He had been the first Black combat pilot in American history.
The French had been calling him a hero since 1917.
The Americans got around to it in 1994.

How the Assassination of Ahmad Vahidi Hit a Dead End!! Decoding Iran's Signal Trap and the Destruction of Israel's Assassination Doctrine at 04:38
⭕️ Introduction: The Heavy Silence Before the Media Storm
The time in Tehran was close to 4:00 AM. Reports from satellite and cyber monitoring signaled to the Tel Aviv war room that Target No. 1, Major General of the IRGC Ahmad Vahidi, had taken up position in a specific headquarters in western Tehran and was holding an emergency command meeting. All parameters of the Israeli regime's targeted assassination doctrine were set to "green" (ready). Precisely at 04:38 local time, the skies over western Tehran were shaken by consecutive explosions and heavy bombing from aerial platforms.
This was the third time that Israeli intelligence (Aman and Mossad) had conveyed the coordinates of General Vahidi's meeting location or travel route as a "definitive assessment" to the air force. The previous two attempts had ended in failure, but this time, the volume of fire, processing speed, and element of surprise were such that the Tel Aviv command room considered the job done; they were only waiting for sunrise and official confirmation of the commander's death to launch their media scenario.
⭕️ 1. The Intelligence Phantom and the Unfinished Scenario of "The End of the $10 Million Man"
According to Israeli security protocols, after such a massive attack, a timeframe is defined for Battle Damage Assessment (BDA). Israel's Minister of War and his media team had prepared the text of the morning statement. The main headline was clear: "The End of Iran's $10 Million Man" — a reference to the international pursuit record and geopolitical weight of IRGC Major General Vahidi in the region's security architecture.
But this expectation lasted no more than 75 minutes. The fate of the operation was not decided in the rubble of western Tehran, but through intercepts in Tel Aviv's secret room.
⭕️ 2. Analysis of the Crucial 75 Minutes: The Laughter of Two $10 Million Men
Exactly 75 minutes after the massive explosions in western Tehran, Israel's microwave and radio interception systems captured a frequency that shattered all calculations. A live, audio-visual communication, transmitted "voluntarily and engineered" over communication lines for the enemy to hear:
The sound of loud, authoritative laughter from two senior IRGC commanders: Major General Ahmad Vahidi and another high-ranking military official (the two "$10 million men" from the Western perspective).
Israel's biometric and acoustic analysts immediately analyzed the voice frequency and vital signs. The result was shocking: the voice was completely real, without stress, and indicative of an intelligence victory. Worse, signal analysis showed that this conversation was not being transmitted from western Tehran at all.
⭕️ 3. Military Dissection of the Decoy Trap
This event demonstrated that no meeting was taking place in western Tehran at all. Iran's intelligence apparatus had created an "intelligence phantom" or "signal ghost." The techniques used in this triple Israeli failure include:
Electronic Simulation: Iran's counter-intelligence, by generating fake telecommunications traffic, encryptions similar to command protocols, and simulated vehicular movements, reconstructed a "ghostly night meeting" in western Tehran for the enemy's spy satellites over several hours.
Cyber Feeding (Channeling the Guidance System): For the third time, the Mossad received intelligence from the same source or aperture it thought was its winning card, while this aperture was completely managed and directed by Iran's cyber defense.
Geolocation Shift: While the enemy's fighters bombed an empty point in western Tehran precisely at 04:38, General Vahidi was in a completely different, secure location, directing another layer of strategic missions.

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order.
I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders.
Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead.
But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose.
And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia.
So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan!
The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.
Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
His name is Amin.
He did security for Mosques in America.
He was a Christian and accepted Islam.
He was martyred today at San Diego Mosque.
This video is now his legacy. Repost this.
