@araghchi IRGC Navy announces in a radio message on VHF Channel 16 that the Strait of Hormuz is closed until further notice.
This comes in response to more than 100 Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon today.
This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.
The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.
They did and we all know it's drama
After a 1996 meeting between Bill Clinton and Netanyahu on Israeli-Arab relations, Clinton told aides: “Who the f**k does he think he is? Who’s the f**king superpower here?” = gave 10 year $26.7 Billion USD “Glide Path Agreement”
After the JCPOA, Netanyahu by-passed the White House and gave a speech to Congress criticising the deal and relations were strained = gave $38 Billion USD
Biden in 2024 called Netanyahu "That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad f*****g guy!” = gave +$30 Billion USD
Faces and rhetoric will change, policies will remain the same. The real victim is the American voter who gets played every damn time.
"We had a good life in our own country, but we decided to do an armed invasion of someone else's, because we are religious supremacists. Why are you mad at us?"
Think about how insane this tweet is. Graham is endorsing the MOU as a way to open the strait (which was open before the war) and get negotiations (which were happening before the war). It's a clear admission that the entire war was a waste of time, money, and lives.
Ridiculous.
@Pontifex Meanwhile Israel launches fresh strikes on Lebanon despite Trump criticism.
Whenever there is a chance of peace, Israel does its level best to sabotage it. Over and over and over again.
It is way past time for the world to impose sanctions on Israel.

It’s only been 3 days and I’m already sick of these empty scoldings. If any other country on earth were running around responding to drone sightings by razing entire apartment buildings we’d be threatening military intervention. But Israel does it and they get chastised like a spoiled child who refuses to clean their room
Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:
Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?
The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?
Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?
Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.
Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.
Israel got the war.
America got the bill.
The U.S. fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors defending Israel during Operation Epic Fury. That's roughly half of the Pentagon's entire inventory of that system. We also fired more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors from Navy ships in the eastern Mediterranean.
Israel fired fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and about 90 David's Sling interceptors.
One U.S. government official told the Washington Post that America fired roughly 120 more interceptors than Israel did and engaged twice as many Iranian missiles.
Each THAAD round costs $13 million. Lockheed Martin makes 96 of them a year. Replacements won't arrive until 2028 at the earliest.
Now here's the part that should make you stop.
Israel's defense budget is roughly $44 billion. That sounds like they're pulling their weight. What that number doesn't tell you is that the United States provided nearly $18 billion in military aid to Israel in a single fiscal year. Much of what Israel "spent" on this war was bought with American money, on American weapons systems, made by American defense contractors.
We funded their military. We burned through our missiles defending them. And now Congress is writing a $10.6 billion check to replace what the war consumed.
And while you were watching the war, Congress quietly passed Section 224 out of committee. It now goes to the full house. It would permanently merge U.S. and Israeli defense research, production, and procurement into a single structure, permanently, buried in the must-pass NDAA, shielded from the annual vote that currently gives Congress any leverage at all.
Israel got the war they lobbied for.
America got the bill.
And Congress is making sure we keep paying it forever.
That's not where I want my tax money going. How about you?
A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.
BREAKING: Israel Has Just Inflicted A Khan Younis Beach Massacre
Dozens of casualties amongst civilians who were targeted on the beach.
The Israelis are frustrated with their failures in Lebanon & Iran, so they are taking it out on the people of Gaza.
How will you go on with your day when you hear about a father in Gaza, trapped beneath the rubble, begging rescuers not to save him?
Not because he had lost hope in life, but because he could hear the final breaths of his daughters beneath the debris. Their tiny hands were still holding his in the darkness, as if calling for him one last time. He was the father who had always been their safe haven, yet this time he was powerless to pull them from the dust and shattered concrete.
Only his head was visible above the ruins. He looked into the eyes of the rescuers with a gaze exhausted by fear and helplessness and said:
"Leave me... my daughters are here... I do not want to come out alone."
What heart can endure such a scene? What language can possibly describe the pain of a father who realizes he is losing his daughters one by one, while holding their hands until they grow cold, unable to offer rescue, comfort, or even one final embrace?
How will your day continue after hearing this story? How will you sit peacefully at your table, or smile at something trivial, knowing that somewhere there is a father whose last wish was not to survive alone?
And the question that continues to haunt the conscience of humanity remains:
How much pain must the world witness before it hears the cry of a single father in Gaza?
