Certain Lebanese officials prefer extending the length of Israel’s terror campaign in Lebanon because they want Israel to weaken Hezbollah for them. This exact scenario played out in 2006. See my next tweet

CENTCOM just confirmed it. Two U.S. Navy destroyers — USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy — are now transiting the Strait of Hormuz to begin mine-clearing operations. Underwater drones joining in the coming days.

Massive geopolitical shift. The Dutch Chief of Defence confirms Europe is actively preparing to sideline the US military. They are building an independent defense force using cheap advanced tech because they can no longer rely on the chaotic Trump administration.

Durant mon interrogatoire, les enquêteurs m’ont demandé de préciser ma confession religieuse. Ensuite ils m’ont demandé de détailler mon rapport à la religion et à la pratique de l’Islam puis de dire ce que je pensais des « valeurs républicaines ». Que chacun s’interroge sur ce que cela révèle des prétendues valeurs de la République de réduire une élue qui s’empare du fait politique à une ennemie de l’intérieur (dont plusieurs ministres et élus ont demandé la déchéance de sa nationalité), suspectée d’être un élément subversif et par essence menaçant.

🚨BREAKING A major breakthrough for Pakistan 🇵🇰 The Pakistan–Iran Transit Corridor is now LIVE, first shipment rolls out from Karachi to Tashkent, unlocking direct access to Central Asia.

One of the individuals close to the negotiating team told me that unreasonable demands from the Trump regime are still hindering the establishment of the desired framework. The Iranian team insists on its demands and conditions to solidify the military achievements it has gained. However, there may be another round of negotiations tonight or tomorrow, aimed at making a final effort to reach an acceptable framework.

BREAKING: US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan have hit a “stalemate” over the control of the Strait of Hormuz, per FT.

A report by MEE revealed that a British surveillance drone flew over Lebanese airspace for hours before, during, and after a large scale Israeli attack that killed more than 300 civilians. According to the report, the drone, identified as a Protector RG1 MQ 9B, took off from the British base in Akrotiri in Cyprus on the morning of the attack and remained over areas in Lebanon, including the surroundings of Baalbek, as the airstrikes were carried out. The drone is believed to have conducted direct surveillance during the attack or provided intelligence support. This pattern of flights is not new, as similar British aerial activity has previously been recorded over the Gaza Strip during the genocide.

Raw GPS data shows that 44 foreign-registered cellphones were in the immediate area of Charlie Kirk on that sad day: 16 Israeli, 13 Chinese, 12 Russian, and 3 Iranian. Our system just alerted us that 4 of the 16 Israeli devices that were in Utah that day, have arrived in Islamabad last evening, at the Islamabad Serena Hotel'

Imran Khan is the legitimate PM of Pakistan and was ousted at Washington's behest for the crime of trading with Russia, safeguarding Pakistan's interests, and criticizing US foreign policy. He's still in prison almost 3 years later, in solitary confinement.

Iran just did what Nasser did in August 1956. When Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal Company on 26 July 1956, the first thing he did was issue an exchange control circular requiring that canal dues be paid in Egyptian pounds, not British sterling, not French francs. Shipping companies had to open local accounts. The British and French, who had just invaded Egypt, were excluded from the acceptable currencies list entirely when the canal reopened in April 1957. This was not administrative procedure. It was monetary warfare. Every fee collected in Egyptian pounds was a transfer of sovereignty from London and Paris to Cairo (later to Washington). The SDR system that replaced it after 1957 was the world's institutional answer to ensure that could never fully happen again. Tolls were assessed on suez canal net tonnage and the toll rates are determined on the basis of SDR units, with dues payable in one of the designated hard currencies according to exchange rates in relation to SDRs as declared by the IMF. Iran has now done the same thing at Hormuz, and gone further. The IRGC formalised a five-tier nationality ranking system. Friendlier nations pay lower rates. Vessels linked to the US or Israel are denied transit entirely. The Iranians are not just collecting fees. They are constructing a political map of the world in the form of a transit tariff. The payment rails are the real story. The "Strait of Hormuz Management Plan," passed by Iran's parliament on 30-31 March 2026, authorises fees settled in Chinese yuan through Kunlun Bank via CIPS, bitcoin, USDT, and Iranian rials. Not dollars. Not SWIFT. The architecture is specifically designed to be unsanctionable in real time. Nasser excluded sterling and francs. Iran has excluded the dollar altogether and built a parallel settlement infrastructure to make that exclusion stick. What Nasser did with an exchange control circular in 1956, Iran has done with blockchain in 2026. The numbers are not trivial. At 2,600 monthly transits under pre-war conditions, even a $500,000 average toll generates $1.5 billion per month. The IRGC is currently charging up to $2 million per vessel, with $600-800 million per month possible if LNG vessels are included. That is a reconstruction budget extracted from the ships of every nation that wants its energy to move. Trump called it a "beautiful thing." He then said the US should charge the toll instead. "Why shouldn't we? We're the winner." This is the most honest thing said about the situation. Both sides understand it is not about navigation law. It is about who controls the rent on global energy transit. The legal framing matters but only as cover. Iran has not ratified UNCLOS. Neither has the US. UNCLOS Article 38 guarantees transit passage rights in international straits without fees for mere passage. The Suez Canal charges fees because it is man-made infrastructure. Hormuz is a natural strait. Iran's counter-argument is that the war changed the underlying conditions and that sovereignty has been reasserted through force majeure. This is precisely Nasser's argument in 1956. The canal lay within Egyptian territory. The concession had been a colonial instrument. Egypt had the right to nationalise, to redirect fees, to exclude hostile currencies. The west called it illegal. Egypt called it sovereignty. Egypt won. Iran's Foreign Minister has stated publicly that Hormuz "will never return to its former state." The parliament speaker wrote the same on X in March. The ceasefire announced on 8 April does not resolve this. The Islamabad talks will determine whether the toll becomes a permanent treaty right or a temporary wartime measure that quietly continues anyway. What the west cannot accept is not the $2 million fee. It is the precedent. An Iranian tollbooth at Hormuz tells every coastal state sitting on a natural strait that the transit passage doctrine is negotiable under sufficient military pressure. Hormuz today. Malacca tomorrow etc

A Lebanese woman from the south speaks on camera about burying her cousin Muhammad Krisht and his wife Khatoun Salma Krisht, who were killed two days earlier in an Israeli occupation army massacre in the Tal al-Khayyat airstrike. She says that before the family could bury their dead in their own land, they were forced to seek permission from the Israeli occupation. The two were laid to rest in Dab'al, in the Tyre district. She addresses the world directly, declaring that all Lebanese will keep fighting for every inch of their land. rayanne_abdelnaby (IG)

🚨BREAKING: The International Criminal Court has issued a second arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu amid US-Iran talks in Pakistan.

Who's doing this? If it were the Russians, this would have been all over the news. Ukraine? Israel? CIA-Mossad-MI6?

The US have signed over 300 treaties with Native Americans and violated almost every single one. This is behavior that has persisted for centuries -- in case the last 2 bombings of Iranian delegations slipped anyone's minds. To be completely blunt: they only understand one language and regrettably, it's not diplomacy.

The children of the late Palestinian journalist Mohamed Weshah, assassinated by Israel west of Gaza two days ago, gathered with other Palestinians at the entrance of Al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip to honor him and denounce Israel's systematic killing of Palestinian journalists.
