{And if they break their oaths after their covenant and revile your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief. Indeed, they have no faithfulness to their oaths, that they may desist.} — (Holy Qur'an – Surat At-Tawbah [9:12])

In light of the United States' clear breach of its commitments and its failure to implement the first provision of the agreement to end the war, and in response to the ongoing and continuous violations of the ceasefire by the Zionist entity in southern Lebanon, accompanied by the brutal killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants of this oppressed region, as well as the continued presence of occupying Zionist forces on the territory of southern Lebanon, it is hereby announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to maritime traffic.

It is noted that this measure constitutes the first phase of the response to the enemy’s breach of its commitments. Should the aggressions continue, further steps will be planned and undertaken to compel the enemy to fulfill its obligations.

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.

CNN: B-52 bomber crashes shortly after takeoff at California’s Edwards Air Force Base, military says

It is not immediately clear if there are any injuries. CNN has reached out to the base for more information.

The crash left a towering black plume at Edwards Air Force Base, located in California’s Mojave Desert, northeast of Los Angeles. The runway at the base was left with a large blackened scar and smoke, but it was difficult to make out any distinct parts of the wreckage, video from CNN affiliate KCAL shows.

Before Monday’s crash, the most recent fatal accident involving the aircraft was in 2008, when six Air Force personnel were killed after their B-52 crashed into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Guam while preparing for a parade flyover.

Warning: Active Psyop.

The Esptein-backed Farsi language news channels have been telling the public of a plan by Ghalibaf and Trump and Netanyahu to overturn Khamenei. See my post earlier in the megathread.

Now we're getting people telling the Iranian state media about a betrayal by the negotiators before getting cut off (see posts below in the megathread). With the Director of IRIB resigning because of these discussions (also below).

We have people talking on supposedly on behalf of Khamenei, who we should understand are not Khamenei.

We discuss here the potential for the MOU to create a rift in the Esptein axis, but they are trying to do the same thing with Iran-Lebanon and internal Iranian politics.

Today, with armed forces on the streets of Tehran - awaiting a potential security incident - it's clear the Epstein Axis has a plan and is setting the groundwork for how the public should interpret the ensuing events.

• Please be mindful of the rumours you spread.
• Please think carefully about any action before acting.
• Please remind everyone of their responsibilities for mature and considerate actions.
• Please understand the incentives and the plans for creating division and erratic action for undermining society.

Trump says Iran showed no limits to his power

When questioned on whether the Memorandum of Understanding amounted to the "unconditional surrender" he had initially wanted from Tehran, Trump doubled down saying that it "really probably is unconditional surrender".

Oh it was an unconditional surrender alright

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘From our perspective, there are two sides in this MoU. On one side there is the United States and Israel, and on the other side there is Iran and Hezbollah.

An end to the war in Lebanon is an inseperable part of the complete end of the war in the region. And a complete end to the war includes a withdrawal of all the forces from occupied areas. Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the lands it occupied during this war, it won’t be considered a complete end to the war.

Any military attack by Israel against Lebanon from now on, or the continuation of Israeli occupation inside Lebanon, will definitely be considered a violation of the MoU.’

Israeli outlet Israel Hayom reports, in a claim not yet echoed by other major outlets, that President Trump is weighing the dismissal of several senior administration figures who opposed the Iran deal, including Defense Secretary Hegseth and CIA Director Ratcliffe. “The argument has been settled. Those who opposed it may pay a personal price,” a senior U.S. official was quoted as saying about the behind-the-scenes turmoil. According to the report, Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears to be safe for now.

Lula caught on hot mic at G7 telling IMF chief he "was never a leftist", among other things

Lula: "In the usa the republicans have governed more than the democrats, and in france the socialists also have governed for less time. What does that prove? That the world is not leftist, the world is of the middle path. That is the truth"

IMF chief Georgieva: "When you were president for the first time everyone expected you to be a leftist but you weren't"

Lula: "But I was never a leftist, I was never a leftist."

Georgieva: "But that was the image at the time"

Lula: "I was a union leader with a beautiful relationship with german sindicalism. Very strong with germany. I had a good relationship with italian sindicalism. I had a good relationship the Spain's UGT (a spanish labour union confederation). I was never- in 1980 there was a congress in Russia to which I was invited. I didn't went to Russia because I was sentenced by the national security law. I went on a trip through europe to gather solidarity, and from then on I started to be treated as an anti-comunist"

From what I know of Lula's biography, unless you move "leftist" way to the left, he's doing a bit of historical revisionism here. Though it's true that he wasn't on the left of the brazillian left or the brazillion union movement so there's some space for him to claim this. Either way it says a lot about how he views himself now.

I also think it's funny that he's at the G7 laying out his bio because he does have in fact probably the most interesting biography of all major world leaders right now, competing with Xi and Putin, imo. I think whenever he dies, which much to the brazillian left's concern since they have no one else is probably not far off, there's enough material to right 3 massive volumes of his life's story, which I look forward to reading.

Zionist infighting has broken out:

“Israeli citizens are waking up to an agreement between the United States and Iran made over Israel's head,” Yair Golan, head of Israel’s Democrats Party, said on the social media platform X.

“This is the culmination of long years of failure,” he added, slamming Netanyahu for selling Israeli settlers “a false image of security.”

“Netanyahu is the man who, for years, sold the public a false image of ‘Mr. Security,’ and in reality became the father of Israel's greatest strategic failure in its history,” he said.

🇮🇷 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: — The continued international silence and American evasiveness in pressuring the relevant parties to stop the sinful aggression on Lebanon have led to the undermining of all understandings and efforts made in this framework.

In view of this deliberate inaction and the continued "israeli" aggression on Lebanon, we announce that we are released from any commitment or agreement related to opening waterways or other understandings that were conditional upon stopping the aggression.

We announce the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping associated with the "israeli" entity and its supporters until further notice, considering this measure to be within the framework of exercising our legitimate right to defend our regional security and in support of the resistance and the oppressed peoples facing the "israeli" war machine.

Any attempt to breach this decision will be met with firmness, and we hold the "israeli" entity and the American administration behind it fully responsible for the repercussions resulting from the continued aggression and the disregard for the just demands to stop it.

‘Think of what Israel is getting. They’re not going to be nuked. I told Bibi. ‘Bibi, they’d drop a nuclear bomb right into the middle of Israel’. They’d only need one, and there would be no more Israel.’

‘The Iranian delegation’s meeting with the U.S. in Geneva is postponed, until there is a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Until that time, Iran will not unilaterally implement its committments of the MoU—until the U.S. does the same.’

“The Israelis — just like everybody else — have to respect this peace process that is fundamentally good for them and good for the entire region,” Vance said.

Vance also addressed reports of Israeli government leaders being unhappy with the agreement, saying “it does bother me” to see them personally attacking Trump.

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance said in a message to the cabinet members. “Over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.”

The logical endpoint here is that the US cuts off Israeli weapon supplies and defense assistance (for a couple of days, tokenistically) to force Netanyahu to be kicked out of government and install a more compliant Bennet.

The longer term impact is that the deep state will start to view Israel as potentially a liability.

Game over for the entity.

Tel Aviv is threatening Syria again:

The union confederation has ended the strikes, but many of the affiliated unions are still mobilised and say they'll fight until govt resigns. This is who the repression will be aimed at.

Rural workers in Bolivia will continue to strike despite the state of exception that authorises military force against them. The main union confedation had agreed to end strikes in exchange for end to privatizations. These rural federations want to continue until govt resigns.

Iran Warned Trump: If You Do Not End War on Lebanon, We May Strike Israel Without Warning

Tehran believes it won a historic victory over the U.S., but is prepared for the deal to fall apart, a senior Iranian official tells Drop Site.

"Regarding Lebanon, we have warned both the mediators and the American side that if the regime fails to comply with the existing agreement, Iran will respond with substantial military measures without prior public notice,” the Iranian official said

"Should the United States intervene, conditions particularly those related to the Strait of Hormuz could rapidly revert to a wartime environment,” he added.

I think the last part is interesting, they give Trump the option to just let them force Israel out of Lebanon. I'm very doubtful the US will let that happen though.

Israel is in full fascist deathdrive mode, they won't stop until they lead the US to a world-historic defeat and partial economic collapse

A deranged Israeli nuke use is cresting over the horizon

Israel Hayom, the newspaper owned by Miriam Adelson, just published an article calling Trump a traitor, an embarrassment, and a failure to Israelis.

BREAKING: The US has released the full text of its 14-point "Memorandum of Understanding" with Iran.

Key terms include:

1. The US, Iran, and their allies agree to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon

2. The US and Iran agree to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and not interfere in each other's internal affairs

3. The US and Iran commit to negotiating and reaching a final deal within 60 days, unless mutually extended

4. The US will begin removing its naval blockade immediately and fully end the blockade within 30 days

5. Iran will use its best efforts to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days with no charge

6. The US and regional partners will develop a mutually agreed plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development

7. The US will work toward terminating all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN, IAEA, primary, and secondary sanctions

8. Iran reaffirms that it will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address its enriched material stockpile under IAEA supervision

9. Until a final deal is reached, Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, while the US will impose no new sanctions and deploy no additional forces

10. The US Treasury will issue waivers for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, derivatives, and associated banking, insurance, and transportation services

11. The US will make frozen or restricted Iranian funds and assets fully available for use

12. The US and Iran will establish an executive mechanism to monitor implementation of the MOU and future compliance with the final deal

13. After signing the MOU and implementing key ceasefire, blockade, shipping, oil waiver, and asset-release provisions, the US and Iran will begin final deal negotiations

14. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution

The memorandum will trigger a 60-day window to negotiate a final deal.

I know I've posted these terms before, but this is the official US release, so it confirms everything that's been leaked.

US intelligence agencies have de facto admitted that Iran won the war:

US intelligence agencies assess that from now on Iran can block the Strait of Hormuz at will, acquiring a powerful instrument of exerting pressure on the global economy, CNN said, citing sources.

"We have now handed Iran de facto control over the strait - a weapon more powerful than any nuke," CNN cited a source familiar with the US intelligence assessments. "The war fundamentally altered Tehran’s thinking about leveraging similar tactics in the future."

Some of the righteous martyrs that the zionist cancer killed since dawn today in South Lebanon.

Journalist Marwa Osman writes:

The rabid enemy targeted civilians as they slept, striking villages that had only recently become inhabited again after residents returned to their homes as per the MoU signed between Iran and the US.

England Good???

What was the point of the Memorandum of Understanding? I don't believe that it was a coordinated charade by the US & Israel because everyone including NATOpedia viewed it as a humiliating admission of defeat. Everyone across the political spectrum mocked Trump for it, the US looks weaker than ever. Even if the Trump regime never intended on following through on any of it, I can't imagine they would've agreed to the humiliation caused by the MoU's announcement just for a fake-out that achieved... what exactly?

It really seems like Israel has gone rogue and the US doesn't know how to rein it in. I don't see how this ends any other way than the US abandoning the zionist entity. And when that happens, when its Arab neighbors no longer have to put up with its shit because of Big Daddy, Israel will finally get what it oh so deserves.

The Guardian - Iran says it will charge ships to transit strait of Hormuz after 60 days. Iran is saying it will “not return to prewar conditions” and that Tehran will charge ships to transit the waterway after a 60-day toll-free period stipulated in the memorandum of understanding. Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei reportedly said the issue of the strait would be the responsibility of Iran and Oman.

Chief Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on state television that the “strait of Hormuz will not return to prewar conditions”, adding:

"Iran has the right to sovereignty over the strait of Hormuz and of course we will receive a fee for services."

Donald Trump has previously said he would not accept tolls being imposed for crossing the vital energy route, through which about a fifth of global oil and LNG supplies usually travel. But in defending the US deal with Tehran, he said that if it was not struck the strait would “never have been opened” and a “worldwide depression” would result.
