🇺🇸 President Trump said the Iran agreement helped avert a global energy crisis:
🔸 “We run out of reserves in about four weeks.”
🔸 “We would really run out, and there’ll be a time when you wouldn’t be able to get it.”
Trump said that without a deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the world was headed toward an “economic catastrophe” and severe oil shortages.

All’aereo della Celeste, che a mezzanotte (tra 16 ore) deve affrontare l’Arabia Saudita, non è stato permesso di entrare negli USA. Al di là dei rimpalli di responsabilità, il mondiale di Trump e Infantino è un’intollerabile pagliacciata.

Sorry @FIFAcom This @FIFAWorldCup has been awful so far. I’ve watched world cups since 1970. This is the worst start ever: like watching English division 3 games. This is meant 2 B world class. It’s not. Oh,your dishonest attendance figures, pricing & US host visa rules are vile.
Patrick O'Donovan today in relation to FAI decision: "We [the government] don't get involved in telling the FAI, IRFU or GAA who to play."
Also, the government:
Ben Lowry: "There's a determination to depict Unionists and Loyalists as more racist than anyone else. -That's entirely wrong "
Jackie Long #c4news
"But most of the chaos of last night was in Loyalist areas wasn't it?"
Ben Lowry: "Yes, it was” 🤔

@Alan__Shatter Skulls?
Here's the winner of the European press award. His piece was on 114 kids all shot in the head with single IDF bullets lodged in their tiny skulls.

The Irish Times naturally doesn't reveal O'Sullivan's affiliation in her anti-neutrality piece today. She's the director of a defence thinktank, Security Ireland. Amongst other things, it advises investors on 'opportunities' to be had in the EU's €800bn arms industry bonanza.
Micheál Martin was part of the cabinet that dealt with the 1999 Ireland/Yugoslavia match by refusing to give visas to the Yugoslav players. The EUFA/FIFA penalties against Ireland were minimal.
Now, spoofer Martin says it's up to the FAI, not government, to decide about israel.
More theatre from Dublin.
Ireland has "banned" Israeli Hardliners Bezalel Smotrich and Ben Gvir from entering Ireland.
Of course, neither of these men have any intention of "entering Ireland"
Meanwhile, Ireland stands out as Israel’s second-largest export market globally (after the United States) and its top European destination for goods exports.
In 2024 Israeli exports to Ireland clocked in at $4 billion with
Irish exports to Israel $1.6–2.01 billion, Total bilateral goods trade? Roughly $5–6 billion USD, with Israel running a significant surplus
Iran’s World Cup squad has been told they must enter and leave US soil on the same day as each of their matches played in the country.
The Trump regime’s pettiness knows no bounds.
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
