❗️Full story behind betraying Iran’s leader, as narrated by @Khanalizadeh_EN

According to Khanalizadeh, a prominent Iranian journalist, after the Leader’s martyrdom, the US quickly asked for a ceasefire, which Iran naturally rejected.

After the new Leader was chosen, Iranian officials prepared a 5-point plan for talks with the US, but the Leader rejected it.

After several rounds of revision, a 10-point framework was produced, which became the basis of the first SNSC statement. The Leader also added 8 extra conditions to that framework, including that there should be no nuclear negotiations at all.

He says the US initially accepted those 10 points as the basis because it needed a ceasefire, but once the Iranian team reached Islamabad, the Americans refused to negotiate on that basis.

Despite the Leader’s written instruction, the Iranian side reportedly discussed the nuclear file.

This made the Americans conclude that Iran did not really want to continue the war, and that if they pushed hard, they could extract concessions.

After Islamabad, the negotiating team sent reports to the Leader.

The Leader reacted negatively and objected, saying they had acted against religious/legal duty by discussing the nuclear issue and by failing to impose the 10 conditions.

Some SNSC members then wrote to him, arguing that talks could not happen without the nuclear issue and warned about continued war and attacks on infrastructure.

The Leader replied that “these negotiations would benefit neither their worldly affairs nor their afterlife,” and would not prevent Iran’s infrastructure from being hit.

After that, the negotiating team restarted message exchanges, completely set aside the 10-point framework, and pursued a new 14-point plan initiated by the Foreign Ministry, which became the Islamabad MoU.

The SNSC approved it and sent it to the Leader, but he gave no answer for about 2 weeks.

SNSC officials then considered treating his silence as approval, but at that meeting a letter from the Leader arrived with questions for each SNSC member.

Each member answered, and officials gave written commitments explaining how the clauses would be interpreted and implemented.

One example given is that the “non-interference” clause (US not interfering in Iran’s affairs( would mean shutting down some hostile anti-propaganda media outlets (such as Iran International, ManotoTV, …).

Only after these written commitments did the Leader authorize the MoU.

Khanealizadeh says this is the context behind the Leader’s phrase: “I had a different view.”

The Leader was not merely opposed to parts of the final MoU; he was against the whole post-Islamabad negotiation path once it moved away from the original 10-point framework.

The process, according to him, went forward because of pressure and insistence from the SNSC.

Elon Musk just made one if the biggest moves in taking over the programming industry

“SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public — the biggest IPO in history. $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation and the first thing to do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet.

Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns 3 layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack.

And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude Code or Codex.

Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company, and now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed.

$4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.”

Let me break this down in simple terms

Elon Musk now controls more of the full AI picture:

- Massive computers, power (data centers like Colossus)
- Smart AI models (Grok from xAI)
- The actual tool millions of developers use every day (Cursor)

For every day users this means

Faster and smarter apps and websites in the future. More developers using powerful AI tools means new apps, games, websites, and features get built quicker and cheaper. This means better video games, smoother streaming, smarter phone apps and better programs

For Developers they can describe what they want in plain English (“make a feature that does X”) and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting

🌐🇩🇪Volkswagen on the brink of collapse❓Six out of nine board members describe the group as existentially threatened, profit in Q1 2026 fell by 14.3%❗

In June 2026, alarming news from within Europe's largest car manufacturer shook the German and European automotive industry. According to an anonymous internal survey of top management published by "manager magazin" and picked up by Der Spiegel, "six out of nine" members of the Volkswagen AG board of directors assess the group's current situation as "existentially threatening" (existenzgefährdet). Another three respondents described it as "tense" (angespannt) and none of the nine chose the "non-critical" option. All nine respondents also agreed on the need for a "radical change in strategy, drastically criticizing the approach in key markets in China and North America.

This shocking survey, which aimed to assess the internal cohesion of the management and was presented to the supervisory board in April 2026, reveals a deep crisis of confidence within the group. Europe's largest automotive giant with tens of thousands of employees worldwide (including significant operations in Slovakia) is facing unprecedented pressure. In the first quarter of 2026, the "operating result" fell to "2.5 billion euros", which represents a decrease of "14.3%" compared to the same period of the previous year (2.9 billion euros). Sales reached "75.7 billion euros" (a decrease of approximately 2-2.5%). Profit before tax fell even more significantly - by around "28%.

According to available data, the main culprits are "US tariffs" with an expected impact of around "4 billion euros per year", increased competition from Chinese manufacturers (especially in the premium segment of Audi and Porsche), slower uptake of electromobility in some regions and weaker demand in export markets. These factors led to a significant deterioration in the results of the group's individual brands, including the almost wiping out of Porsche's profit in some previous reports and weaker sales in key markets.

The internal self-assessment of top managers thus underlines that the current restructuring program "Zukunft Volkswagen" and austerity measures may not be enough to ensure long-term stability. The survey indicates deep concerns about the survival of the entire group if there are no rapid and fundamental structural changes at a time of global transformation of the automotive industry.

Before we routinely bored our friends to death with our hyper-optimised workflows, Strava personal bests, and alcohol-free lager, British people didn't take themselves quite so seriously. Not so long ago, you couldn't step five paces without a tabloid newspaper bunching around your ankles. The Sun and the Daily Mirror, their frontpages splashed in frantic red ink, served up a daily diet of love rats and busty babes often embroiled in something called 'coke shame hell'.

With them vanished a magnificent dialect: Tabloid English—a compressed, bawdy, semi-literate poetry understood by barristers and bricklayers alike. Those newspapers flaunted their own vernacular: a rhythmic, gutter-level blank verse in which prisoners were lags, babes were busty, sex was a romp and unfailingly steamy. With the death of print, we didn't merely lose newspapers. We lost a language. We lost Britain's last great folk poetry.

In 2007, a woman in China refused to sell her property to developers, resulting in it being stranded on a mountain of dirt with no electricity or water services.

This photograph became one of the most famous examples of a Chinese "nail house", a term used for property owners who refuse to move despite pressure from developers. The image was taken in 2007 in the city of Chongqing, where homeowner Wu Ping and her husband became national figures after refusing compensation offers to vacate their property.

As excavation proceeded around the site, the house was left perched atop a mound of earth in the middle of a massive construction pit. Utilities were reportedly cut, and access became increasingly difficult, turning the home into a symbol of resistance against powerful development interests.

The dispute attracted enormous media attention throughout China. At the time, China's rapid urbanization was transforming cities at an unprecedented pace, with millions of residents being relocated for highways, apartment towers, shopping centers, and infrastructure projects. Many citizens saw the case as a test of newly strengthened private property rights.

After weeks of negotiations and national publicity, Wu Ping and her husband eventually reached a settlement with developers and moved out. The house was demolished shortly afterward.

The term "nail house" comes from the idea of a stubborn nail that sticks up and cannot be hammered down. Similar cases have appeared throughout China, sometimes delaying multi-million-dollar construction projects. The Chongqing dispute became so famous that it was discussed internationally and is often cited as a landmark moment in China's evolving debate over private property rights and urban redevelopment.

Elon Musk répond : Pourquoi je continue à travailler même avec une fortune de 1000 milliards de dollars ?

« Ce n’est pas l’argent qui me motive. C’est la quête du sens et faire progresser l'humanité vers le mieux. Tant que je n’aurai pas percé ce mystère, je ne pourrai pas m’arrêter de travailler.

L’univers est la réponse, mais nous ne savons même pas quelles sont les bonnes questions à poser. Plus nous étendons la conscience humaine, plus nous avons une chance de comprendre le sens de tout cela.

C’est pour ça que je veux que l’humanité devienne une espèce multiplanétaire et multi-stellaire : pour que la conscience, biologique et numérique, grandisse assez pour enfin comprendre ce qu’il se passe réellement dans l’univers. »
