🚨JUST IN: Was just on a media briefing call with a senior US officials who confirm the MOU with Iran has been signed and outlines the following from their POV: "In general terms, the deal says if you're willing to behave like a normal country, we're willing to treat you like a normal country. It's performance based." - Strait of Hormuz is open, but it will take a few weeks to get travel back to normal. - A signing ceremony on Friday in Geneva including JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and others, and a large Iranian contigent. - The official stressed that we're here not just because of the last 1.5 years of the Trump administration, but because of the first 4 as well. The sanctions pressures built up and they believe created leverage. - The reason negotiations have been "very fruitful" was because of the "degredation of [Iran's] economy" and the "scattering of their government which created a lot of internal pressure." - There a significant new communication channels. The official describes the initial Islamabad meeting as very fruitful, despite not resulting in a deal. It laid the groundwork. - Operation Project Freedom has been an "unsung hero" in this, resulting in over 7 million barrels of oil a day. That increased US leverage. - The nuclear talks are described as "technical" in terms of how to retrieve the enriched uranium. - Stressed this is not "pay for play." They will not get access to markets or release of their funds just for showing up for a meeting. - There are "fascinating" internal political dynamics playing out in Iran. There are constituencies that want different things. Iran, by all accounts, should be incredibly wealthy. - "We go in very clear-eyed" that Iran has been a bad faith actor in negotiations for 47 years: "Everything will be verified... all released assets and sanction relief is tied to milestones." - The US will keep the current military force posture for now to make sure Iran "does what they say they're going to do." The deal contemplates a partial draw down upon the signing of the nuclear deal." - "One of the aspects of the negotiation that was actually easier than others was the nuclear, because they need our technical expertise to get the dust out." - Iran would probably love to have a nuclear weapon, but they know US intelligence is so precise that they can't do it in secret and the threat of force is now realized. - The Gulf States generally love this deal. They saw the JCPOA as empowering Iran to be a bad actor. They see this as a regional deal that pressures Iran to behave and bring stability to the entire region. - "The full deal will be published soon, but we're still in the building trust phase."

To become rich from curing cancer, you have to withhold the cure from people suffering and dying from cancer. So yes, you don't deserve to get rich from curing cancer. Only in an exploitative and unethical system is this seen as acceptable.

If I cure cancer I will get very rich. And a bunch of people on this site will apparently find my sudden wealth outrageous.

@WashTimes Interesting choice to exclude Social Security and Medicare, by far the two largest welfare programs in existence.

Like clockwork, every Pride Month, someone inevitably starts talking about whether Muslims can, in fact, be gay. This year, the latest round arrived courtesy of 5Pillars, a media outlet claiming to be the “voice” of Muslims in the U.K. Its handy “How To Navigate Pride Month” for “Muslims living in the West” offers choice advice: “Muslims who experience same-sex attraction…should seek spiritual support.” Then, 5Pillars set their eyes on some notable targets: London Mayor Sadiq Khan and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. “The Muslim mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, celebrates queer and transgender New Yorkers,” said a miffed 5Pillars tweet. The blowback was swift. “My first consideration is the preservation of Islamic purity. If that upsets people, then so be it,” 5Pillars founder Roshan M. Salih, who is of Sri Lankan and Welsh descent, told The Juggernaut. “We don’t condemn people who have same-sex attraction. However…if they act upon that attraction, then they are sinning.” As for Zohran Mamdani? “He was tweeting in favor of LGBTQ Pride, and that is a clear contradiction in the eyes of Muslims.” But it seemed like no one was talking to the very group that the whole fiasco was about: queer Muslims. What do they have to say? The Juggernaut spoke to many in the community, including Islamic scholars, to find out. @TulikaBose_ reports: thejuggernaut.com/queer-muslims-…

@KhakanQureshi @thejuggernaut I learned by reading the Quran and Hadith. Lusting over men instead of women doesn’t need an analysis lmao 😂 Lusting over men doesn’t mean rape nor sexual assault it is homosexuality and sodomy. You can’t mental gymnastics your way into any other meaning.

@DerekHowell13 @bonchieredstate 41+ times trump has claimed 'the deal is done', 'will be signed any minute' and 'Iran completely defeated'. In your mind believability of Iran is the issue? 😬

@Libertarian2009 @MMumu87 @shycollie I would say American Muslim women are worse than those in the Muslim world. Don’t want any of their Islamic responsibilities in marriage but know their rights lmao Had a few go crazy I wanted a prenup if they wanted to make it a civil marriage.
