🇮🇷 Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran issued an ultimatum to the United States following an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, claiming Washington was warned that Tehran would respond unless its demands were met.

🔸 Ghalibaf said Lebanon is an integral part of the Axis of Resistance and that any ceasefire agreement must apply across all fronts, particularly Lebanon. He thanked Hezbollah and Lebanon’s Shiite community for supporting Iran during the war, saying they continued fighting and suffered nearly 4,000 killed despite Iran being under a ceasefire.

🔸 According to Ghalibaf, after Israel struck Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, Iran warned the U.S. that it would retaliate unless the attacks stopped. He claimed President Trump subsequently pressured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt further strikes on Dahiyeh.

🔸 Ghalibaf said Iran was able to stop the attacks “through negotiation,” but only because those talks were backed by military power. He pointed to Iran’s subsequent “Operation Nasr,” saying it demonstrated that when Iran negotiates, “its sword is ready at the same time.”

🔸 He also said that while negotiating with mediators following another strike on Dahiyeh, Iran made clear it would respond regardless of diplomatic efforts and warned that any further escalation would be met with a broader response.

🔸 “This is the culture of negotiation as a method of struggle,” Ghalibaf said.

I fully understand. It is extremely disorienting when Trump actually makes sense. But what he is saying is true. This warning - that the overuse of financial sanctions would cause a rush away from the dollar - was first stated by Jack Lew, under Obama.

In a major 2016 speech, Lew warned against "sanctions overreach," arguing that excessive use of sanctions could encourage countries and companies to avoid the US financial system and the dollar. He said:

"The more we condition use of the dollar and our financial system on adherence to U.S. foreign policy, the more the risk of migration to other currencies and other financial systems grows."

By humiliating Netanyahu, Trump is very cleverly redirecting humiliation that otherwise would be Trump’s onto him. Never underestimate Trump’s ability to dodge responsibility. A true master at work.

It’s extra smart because the teeth gnashing from the pro-Israel camp will be so deafening and relentless and absurd it’ll drown everything else out.

And the majority of the planet, livid at Netanyahu for talking Trump into this, is happy to pile on.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

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.

By the way, isn’t it interesting how all these football journalists suddenly found a way to ask “political” questions when speaking to Iranian players?

I don’t remember seeing the same energy with American or Israeli players.

While the israeli soldiers were having fun shooting at civilians, the 13-year-old Amir Emad lost his life when a bullet pierced his neck.

israel stole Amir’s life
israel stole Amir’s future.

Amir is NOT a number.
Gazans are NOT numbers.
The israeli genocide MUST stop.

With Toronto Police now saying that the synagogue shootings were done by teenaged guns-for-hire, journalists have to be extremely sceptical that they were coordinated by the alleged Iran backed Al-Saadi ... here's why ...

Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it".

I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Heartbreaking beyond words.

Imagine the life of a famous European or Western football player like this. FIFA would now intervene to make them live high on the hog.

I am really heartbroken and devastated for Palestinian athletes.

With tears in his eyes, a Palestinian citizen returning to Gaza with his sick child recounts the details of his abuse by occupation forces. He describes being subjected to humiliating strip searches and brutal beatings, despite still recovering from recent surgery.

Freed Palestinian detainee Nadim Awad, who is exiled to Egypt, was reportedly forced to sleep on the street beneath a bridge in Cairo for nearly 20 days, amid worsening hardship linked to the Palestinian Authority’s decision to cut detainees’ salaries and ongoing lack of support for released detainees abroad.

Rights group warns of escalating abuse against Palestinian women prisoners
——
Around 90 Palestinian women held in Israel's Damon Prison, including three pregnant detainees, two minors, and three cancer patients, are being subjected to worsening abuse and deteriorating conditions, according to the Palestinian Center for the Defense of Prisoners.

The group said Israeli prison authorities have turned repression into a daily policy through repeated raids, beatings, strip searches, humiliating photography, and the use of stun grenades and police dogs.

Severe overcrowding has forced some prisoners to sleep on the floor, while shortages of clothing, basic necessities, and food have left many hungry.

The center also warned that pregnant and sick detainees face particularly grave risks amid ongoing medical neglect and the absence of adequate healthcare.

You’ve been whitewashing Israel’s genocide against Palestinians for almost three years, what did you expect?

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Every day. Every day.

It’s illegal now under the @Keir_Starmer regime to oppose this brazen war crime and outright violation of the ceasefire.

⭕️ REPORT | Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,306 ceasefire violations across Gaza since agreeing to a ceasefire last October, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

It says Israeli attacks have killed 1,005 Palestinians and wounded 3,157 since the ceasefire was announced. Tuesday alone saw 13 reported violations, 2 Palestinians killed, and 5 wounded.

🔹 Israeli warships opened fire toward the coast of Rafah
🔹 Israeli military vehicles advanced east of Salah al-Deen Street near Bani Suheila in Khan Younis amid intensive live fire and shelling
🔹 Abdul Rahman Rami Al-Fiqi, 15, was shot in the hand and abdomen near Al-Nuseirat by armed militias operating under Israeli army protection
🔹 Ahmad Abu Hein and Mahmoud Abu Hein were killed in a drone strike on an apartment in Al-Nuseirat Camp
🔹 Israeli forces carried out explosive demolitions east of Khan Younis
🔹 Israeli vehicles entered the Al-Sayfa area of Beit Lahiya amid intensive live fire
🔹 A child from the Qdeih family was wounded by Israeli gunfire in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis
🔹 Three civilians were wounded in separate shooting incidents in Al-Atatra, Beit Lahiya Roundabout, and elsewhere in North Gaza

Since the ceasefire took effect, 238 children, 111 women, and 30 elderly Palestinians have been killed. Nearly half of those wounded are children, women, or elderly people. 100 civilians have also been detained.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure.

Aid entry
▪️ Only about 36% of agreed aid has entered Gaza, averaging 215 trucks per day compared with the agreed 600
▪️ Fuel deliveries remain at just 14.7% of agreed levels
▪️ The World Food Programme estimates 77% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition, amid what MSF has called a “manufactured malnutrition crisis.”

Rafah crossing
▪️ Palestinians entering and exiting Gaza via Rafah are subjected to arbitrary, degrading, and humiliating treatment, while the number of permitted crossings remains far below agreed levels
▪️ Only 7,243 of 20,200 scheduled crossings have been carried out, a compliance rate of 35.8%
▪️ 88 people have been turned back at the crossing since the ceasefire took effect

🚨BREAKING: A horrific crime in Gaza
Two Palestinians were killed and six others injured after an Israeli drone strike hit a cafe near Al-Mawasi beach in the southern Gaza Strip.

Reports indicate the victims had fled the unbearable heat of displacement tents and gathered by the coast seeking brief relief, before the strike hit directly and turned the scene into devastation.

168 people (almost all of them children) massacred in a single school bombing through US/Israeli aggression on the first day of this war.

Sickening.
