#عاجل ‼️انذار عاجل إلى سكان جنوب لبنان!

🔸القتال في جنوب لبنان مستمر حيث يواصل جيش الدفاع استهداف منشآت وبنى حزب الله الموجودة في قراكم وبالقرب منها. جيش الدفاع لا ينوي المساس بكم.

🔸حرصًا على سلامتكم امتنعوا عن التوجه جنوبي نهر الزهراني حتى إشعار آخر!

🔸كل من يتوجه جنوبًا يعرض حياته للخطر

Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was recently released from Israeli prison, where he was held for a year without charge and without a trial. He lost around half his body weight behind bars. “It was a real hell,” he tells @JDiamond1, in this heart-wrenching report.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told me over the phone he has unilaterally cancelled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranians.

"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'."

Boosted by the 1974 oil boom, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi decided to prioritize nuclear energy. Oil should not be wasted, and energy portfolio should be diversified. Nuclear technology was essential to modernity and symbolized Iran’s power and prestige.

I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.
