His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
We call for the release of 10,000 Palestinians in exchange for the American pilots. Our position is firm, and we do not intend to revise the terms during negotiations.
Netanyahu: "Vance reported to me on his way back from Islamabad, as he does every day."
For the first time in history, a senior official of a government is providing "daily briefings" to the head of another state!
The issue is not us; it is a matter of structural humiliation. Do the American people realize that the White House has effectively turned into a "reporting branch" for another regime?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says Italy is suspending its defence agreement with Israel as global protests mount over the US-Israel war on Iran.

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March
But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing 2000 civilians, ~200 children, ~300 women, 7 journalists, 178 health workers, and 3 UN peacekeepers in Lebanon
CHINA BACKS IRAN
"We are commited for peace & stability in the world. We are monitoring the situation in the middle east. Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of Strait of Hormuz. We have trade & energy agreements with Iran. We will respect & honour them and expect others to not meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us."- China's Minister of Defence Admiral Dong Jun
I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic.
If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?
A grand ceremony was held in northern Pakistan to commemorate the 40th day since the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei, and pledge allegiance to the new Supreme Leader.
Our 🇵🇰 brothers and sisters wave the Iranian flag in a show of support and solidarity!
It’s fine for the US to close Cuba’s and Venezuela’s waters, and it’s fine for Israel to close Gaza’s waters, but if Iran blocks the countries that waged war against it from the Strait Of Hormuz, that’s unacceptable?
JD Vance sold himself as the guy who would end endless wars. Now he's threatening the most endless war of all — nuclear war. Over oil. Ana just tore his mask off. He's not a peacemaker. He's a complicit war criminal. Just like Trump. Just like the rest of them
🚨 Vance: "Iran chose not to accept our terms."
Since when does a bomber set terms for the bombed?
You flew 10,000 km to a country you attacked,
demanded it sign your paper,
and called its refusal a "choice."
Iran didn't reject a deal.
Iran rejected an empire's invoice.
Powerful statement by Vladimir Putin
“As long as China, Russia, and Iran exist, it is impossible for anyone to behave like a global ruler.”
Putin takes aim at U.S. dominance, calling out what he describes as authoritarian policies under Trump. 🌍
The US demanded Iran surrender all its enriched uranium, same demand as before the war. Why would a stronger Iran accept this now? Powerful evidence that the US is caught in the Escalation Trap https://t.co/CY7fXE9DMF
It seems that Vance arrived in Islamabad without the full authority to reach an agreement with Iran, unlike Ghalibaf.
According to his own account, he called Trump more than 12 times during 21 hours of negotiations to discuss the issues. And according to Araghchi, he spoke with Netanyahu at least once during the Islamabad talks.
The US needs a negotiator who can reach an agreement on the spot, not someone who keeps a phone in hand and, like a child, has to check everything with daddy or uncle.
BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrives in China today just after Trump announcement that he will cut off all trade with Spain for refusing to support Israel

Between @mb_ghalibaf & @CMShehbaz, there is a photo of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
He was a freedom-loving leader, the Quaid-e-Azam of our neighbor, Pakistan, a man of courage and a supporter of the Palestinian people.
