@esaagar If China stepping in to mediate is successful that kind of puts the bow on it.

This unironically then is the beginning of the end of the US empire: Militarily unable to collapse the Iranian regime from the air, sparking a global energy crisis for critical US allies and then telling them to go and fix the crisis we created

@whereangelsdare @DropSiteNews Detailing out specifics of a framework are what the "immediate talks" in point 2 are for. This is what the beginning phase of real diplomacy looks like. You'd prefer a list of things that will never happen and toddler level tantrums that we've seen the last few weeks?
English
@DropSiteNews Vague. Looks like a basic nonspecific 5 point document. Looks like China handed over a generic pre-printed paper to satisfy a requirement, rather than for a substantive purpose. Iran may just keep it on a side without even reading it.

🇨🇳🇵🇰 China–Pakistan propose 5-point plan on Gulf crisis
China and Pakistan issued a joint five-point initiative calling for an immediate ceasefire, rapid launch of peace talks, and measures to stabilize the Gulf and wider Middle East. It includes:
1. Immediate ceasefire and humanitarian access to all war-affected areas.
2. Launch peace talks as soon as possible; safeguard sovereignty of Iran and Gulf states; “with all parties committing to peaceful resolution of disputes, and refraining from the use or the threat of use of force during peace talks.”
3. Security of nonmilitary targets: Protect civilians and halt attacks on nonmilitary and critical infrastructure, including energy and nuclear sites. “Fully adhere to International Humanitarian Law (IHL).”
4. Secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and restore safe commercial passage: “protect the security of ships and crew members stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, allow the early and safe passage of civilian and commercial ships, and restore normal passage through the Strait as soon as possible.”
5. Reinforce UN-led multilateralism and pursue a comprehensive peace framework under international law.

My daughter was born 10 months ago and required a brief transfer to a speciality hospital
The insurance co tells me I owe nothing: Months later the hospital sends me a bill for THOUSANDS. Insurance says hospitals just send it to see if you'll pay after a service is denied

@lxeagle17 Not sure how a Party that has lost to Collins for cycle after cycle views nominating an outsider as a "risky gamble". Worst case scenario Platner loses which is what Maine Democrats have been doing for a decade at the point.
English
Four points on Maine:
1) Mills is a very poor candidate.
2) Platner could beat Collins.
3) Platner is a very risky gamble.
4) Platner is doing best with upscale Dems, rather than non-college Dems — not what you'd expect from a "working-class whisperer"

Cory Booker taking smiling photos with Yoav Gallant AFTER Gallant was indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity and had an active warrant for his arrest but drawing the moral line at going on Hasan Piker’s stream perfectly sums up this bullshit outrage campaign.

The Trump admin has just vaporized 1/4 of the entire Tomahawk stockpile for the Iran war which will quite literally take years even with accelerated production just to replace what was already a short supply
Beijing continues to laugh hysterically

SCOOP: The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available.
English
@excel_rator @MKe299415525992 @esaagar Even if the US were able to get assets to Tehran, they would then need to get them out of the country and then deal with the part where every unit in the mosaic defense structure would still be able to hit US assets and Israel. Which I imagine they would and as hard as possible.

@MKe299415525992 @esaagar you can probably get a few, idk whats the point when u can just drone strike them but...

Considering Trumps fixation with Venezuela I think there’s a non zero chance that US troops don’t occupy anything and there’s a capture/kill mission for the entire higher echelon of Iranian leadership

@BarakRavid Iran denies that any talks with the US have happened. They might be a terrible regime whose philosophy and governing style I deplore, but only the US-Isreal axis are known to be pathological liars. 🤷

🚨Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan have been passing messages between the U.S. and Iran over the past two days in an effort to de-escalate, U.S. source says
🚨Senior officials from the three countries held separate talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the U.S. source says
🚨"The mediation is ongoing and making progress. The discussion is about ending the war and resolving all outstanding issues. We hope to have answers soon," the source says

@andythegymrat @AlexandreD36952 @DropSiteNews What's interesting to me is that we are apparently supposed to believe that western intelligence missed on something as critically important as the effective missile range of the IRGC. If they did, that should be a big "WTF" moment for everyone involved.
English
@JRoberts112358 @AlexandreD36952 @DropSiteNews Must admit it is awfully convenient that this missile that suddenly *can* strike Western Europe appears now, just when the whole of Europe and NATO has told Trump to do one.
English
🚨 BREAKING: A senior Iranian official told Al Jazeera Iran is not responsible for the missile attacks on Diego Garcia and was not behind them.
Drop Site@DropSiteNews
The U.K. has no permanent land-based system to intercept high-altitude ballistic missiles, Sky News reports, as Iran demonstrates potential range of 4000 km in launches targeting the U.K. base (used by the U.S. military) at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
English
@AlexandreD36952 @DropSiteNews Because key geopolitical allies of the US are refusing to go on Trump's suicide mission in Iran, mostly because it isn't their fight and they are not in any danger. But if Iran somehow has the missile range to strike Europe it changes that calculus.
English
@DropSiteNews Don't understand. Why do a false flag on military target?
English
@AliAbunimah Will IRAN let them out is the more pressing question. Everybody in the West talking about getting out of this as if it were just a matter of saying "we win!" and going home as if Iran doesn't have a say in when they stop firing their own missiles.

@ScottJenningsKY So how many IDF soldiers should we expect to hit the beaches with US forces when boots inevitably get put on the ground?

If there was a terrorist state in our backyard whose sole mission was to eradicate the United States through terror and nuclear weapons, not a single American would disagree about what needed to be done.
That's the reality Israel faces with Iran.

@DropSiteNews Unfortunately, “zero restraint if Iran’s energy facilities” are hit again may be green-light go for Israel, who likely desires escalation.
English
🚨 Tehran says it is showing “respect for requested deescalation” in targeting Gulf energy facilities
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran used only a “fraction” of its capabilities in recent strikes on Gulf energy sites, stressing the response was deliberately limited and restrained in “respect for requested de-escalation.”
The strikes hit energy sites including Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub — knocking out about 17% of export capacity and causing an estimated $20B in annual losses — as well as facilities in Kuwait and the UAE, where fires and shutdowns were reported, and Saudi sites where drones and missile debris struck near refineries, causing limited damage and injuries.
Araghchi warned there will be “zero restraint” if Iran’s infrastructure is hit again.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi@araghchi
Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed FRACTION of our power. The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation. ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again. Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites.
English
@RapidResponse47 Whose weapons did Israel use? Why are you continuing to provide this rogue nation with said weapons? How is it that the US is not able to control a client State?
Is it because they have video of you committing certain crimes? Or are you just really bad at this?

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.
