This is how Ukrainian TV started this morning… #StandWithUkraine #PutinHitler

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the reopening of internet access, Iranian media reported, more than 85 days into the internet shutdown imposed following the start of the war with Israel and the United States. - AFP







@RobertJMolnar What they’ll do is cut deals with the big oil companies. Instead of paying a toll for every ship big oil will pay a monthly tribute to IRGC to move as much oil as they want. So instead of $2 million a ship to move 40 ships at $80 million they’ll just pay $20 million a month.



REPORT: High-ranking sources tell Al-Arabiya that Iran is willing to send its highly enriched uranium stockpile to China, seeking guarantees from Beijing before entering any agreement with the U.S. Take this report with caution.

We don’t just want all HEU out of Iran. We want all enriched uranium. POTUS says he wants all the nuclear dust. He doesn’t say only the dust at 60% or 20% purity level.

There is not an insignificant risk that the U.S. and Iran come away with a different understanding of what is/isn’t allowed in a high-level MOU. One can easily imagine a scenario where Trump spends days or weeks denying that any “fees” are being collected or saying that if they are we’re gonna put a stop to it. Alternatively, I wouldn’t rule out him downplaying this as “just a small amount of money.” Same risks apply on any loose agreements on the nuclear program. As I’ve said before, details matter.

Progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations has stalled. Both sides are entrenched on the nuclear program and economic relief for Tehran. - Wall Street Journal


There is no path to victory for the United States, and no "spin" from Washington will be able to change this reality. The ending of this tragedy has already been written, and two things are now inevitable: The United States has lost the War in Iran, and will need to make significant monetary concessions to the tune of tens of billions of dollars or more. And Doing so is the correct decision at this point.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says a deal with the United States is not "imminent."

The US and Iran are closing in on a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, senior US officials said Sunday, even as President Donald Trump insisted he would not “rush” into an agreement. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
