One of the books which changed my outlook of life was "Extreme money" by Satyajit Das. My favourite quote from the book "Debt (once a source of shame) became an essential part of the modern lifestyle." When I see #centralbanks spew bs about deflation I laugh to myself.

@BigSui31 @ejmalrai It won't sell well - I mean the settlement, especially after he has publicly claimed to have obliterated Ir@n's navy.

@gdshepherd3 @ejmalrai They are losing the mid terms regardless.He just needs something to sell to his people he's got enormous sway in Republican politics & can pull.Iran has provided him several opportunities to take some wins but the dude just can't shut his damn mouth. Escalating will not be smart.

Donald Trump could propose to Iran $200 billion as compensation for the destruction caused by the war in exchange for fee-free navigation of ships through the Strait of Hormuz for 3 years.

@HalaJaber Where is dummy Ir@n? Lebanese resistance joined to support them and the clown Argachai seems to have deserted the brave Lebanese!

🚨UPDATE 🚨 Civil Defense sources told Al-Akhbar: the location of journalist Amal al-Khalil has been identified in the house that was destroyed by an Israeli strike while she was inside with journalist Zeinab Faraj. Excavation efforts are now underway to reach her. Two Israeli airstrikes on the town of al-Tayri, in the Bint Jbeil district, killed two people & injured one. Efforts to rescue Amal al-Khalil are still ongoing. Israeli forces pursued Khalil & Faraj after the first strike. The two journalists had taken shelter in a nearby house, which was then struck. When the Lebanese Red Cross arrived to evacuate the wounded, they were prevented from completing the mission. A stun grenade was fired at the ambulance & it came under gunfire, forcing crews to withdraw before reaching Khalil. Faraj was transported to hospital along with the bodies of the two victims. The Ministry of Public Health condemned these actions, describing them as a clear double violation: obstructing the rescue of a civilian journalist & targeting an ambulance clearly marked with the Red Cross.

@johnhussainpres @muntazireimam84 What about Lebanon? Conveniently forgotten?

@muntazireimam84 I asked the foreign ministry myself

@ejmalrai Why has Ir@n accepted the extended ceasefire if Lebanon front does not have a ceasefire? Any news on this Elijah? 🙏

Israël Israel is expected to escalate against Lebanon in the next 24 hours, giving Hezbollah enough reason to retaliate in kind.

To be honest, Pak is trying to save their backside. This is because if the war resumes and Saudis invoke defence pact, Pak will be in a pickle and forced to join this war , which is unpopular with their population. So they have all incentive to defuse it and walk away with credits if successful!

Many in Pakistan are suggesting we scale back our mediation role. They are missing the bigger picture. We have already invested significant time and strategic capital into this process. Today, there is no country with a clearer, 360-degree understanding of the positions of both the U.S. and Iran. More importantly, despite every twist and turn, Pakistan continues to enjoy the trust of both sides, something that cannot be built overnight and cannot be easily replaced. Walking away now would be a strategic mistake. At this stage, Pakistan is not just participating in conflict resolution, it is central to it.

@VamsiTatavarthy @tradingview Yes, once the pair #USDINR reaches a critical rolling mass, speed will not be under the control of RBI, I think. Their magazine is almost empty and they are facing the Hulk! (geopolitical crisis -> high oil prices, fertilisers, food inflation...). Isn't it?

@gdshepherd3 @tradingview The trend does have to be up . RBI cannot fight direction, only can fight speed.

Indian Rupee is toast. There are no sellers of US dollar except RBI. It is just a matter of time, before they lose control. $USDINR #USDINR

@NajamAli2020 Does Pak know this? If so, why are they participating in this fake negotiation risking their reputation? If they don't know this, they are too dumb geopolitically! Which one is it?

Let me make this very simple for people to understand what is happening now. Trump is desperately trying to get out of this disastrous war he started, but on his own terms. The Iranians are not giving him an inch of space to do that.

#USDINR was channelling and broke out. Thanks to dumb RBI's artificial moves, $USDINR retraced to mid of the channel and attempting to claw back to top of the channel. If the breakout occurs again, there is nothing available with dummy RBI to save the USDINR pair. @VamsiTatavarthy

@tradingview New lows after a supposed policy to strengthen Rupee! Just says the message loud, the least path of resistance is up, dramatic weakening ahead. Market tips its hand? #USDINR $USDINR US Dollar to Indian Rupee #Nifty #IranWar‌

@Tasnimnews_EN 😂😂

Iran Warns: All US-Owned Oil Facilities in Region Are Targets If Iran’s Infrastructure Is Attacked Iran has declared that all oil facilities in the region with American ownership will be targeted if the US strikes Iranian infrastructure.

@MenchOsint That kanthan guy is a joke 🤣

Last night I saw an Indian account arguing with the fake account impersonating Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, based in India too. This site is becoming a joke because of Nikita Bier...

@DD_Geopolitics It is TACO Tuesday 😭😂😂

TACO TUESDAY!! TRUMP BACKS OUT OF ATTACKING IRAN!

@DD_Geopolitics Finally something sensible move by Ir@n.

🇮🇷 BREAKING! Iran Pulls Out of Wednesday Islamabad Talks — Tasnim News Iran has formally notified the United States through Pakistani mediators that it will not attend Wednesday's scheduled negotiations in Islamabad, with no timeline set for future rounds, according to Tasnim News Agency. The decision follows what Tehran describes as a pattern of American bad faith since the ceasefire framework was agreed upon. According to Tasnim's sources, Iran accepted a ceasefire and subsequent negotiations based on a 10-point framework it submitted — which Washington formally accepted through Pakistani intermediaries. However, the U.S. almost immediately began walking back its commitments. First, Washington failed to pressure Israel into implementing the Lebanon ceasefire as agreed — stalling talks for several days. Then, during the first Islamabad round, the U.S. introduced demands that far exceeded the original framework, effectively torpedoing the negotiations. Tehran's assessment: having failed on the battlefield, Washington was trying to compensate through maximalist demands at the table. Iran subsequently issued a firm warning of missile strikes on Israel, which Tasnim says forced the U.S. to finally operationalize the Lebanon ceasefire. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi then announced Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping in line with the initial framework — only for the U.S. to continue its naval blockade regardless. Recent message exchanges produced no meaningful progress, with Washington refusing to retreat from demands Tehran considers violations of Iran's sovereign rights. Iran has now concluded that returning to talks under these conditions would be a waste of time, as the U.S. is blocking any viable agreement. The decision has been communicated to Washington via Islamabad.

@NajamAli2020 @UnintendedCons5 Is Pakistan as a mediator laying eggs? Can't they issue a statement if ceasefire conditions are not met? Look at Lebanon, looks at the blockade!!

@UnintendedCons5 It may if they remain ambiguous.

Iran needs to be clear, fast. If it is not attending the meeting in Pakistan, it must spell out why: is it the port blockade? the deal terms? or both? Because silence comes at a cost. Iran earned global sympathy as the underdog. It risks losing that quickly if it appears evasive or inconsistent. The bigger concern is strategic judgment. War may have created leverage but leverage is fleeting. It can disappear in days if not converted into outcomes. History is a harsh reminder. In 1988, after years of war and immense losses, Iran was forced to accept a deal it once resisted. Leverage unconverted is leverage lost. And misreading the moment can turn advantage into regret, very quickly.

@AryJeayBackup China - do nothing and win Ir@n - will release Lego memes

The US intercepted a 2 million crude oil laden China-bound ship. This can have severe consequences.

@Tracking_Power Cards? Everyone sees it 😂😂

From the Farsi: Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table— in his own imagination— into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering. We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.

@Safarnejad_IR It is really pitiful! They went in saying that this is the last great war that will be fought and the solution is a permanent deal with guarantees. It is just a matter before Bummerica catches Ir@n again with pants down? History repeats?

⚠️ Semi-official sources: The likelihood of renewing the ceasefire has increased. ✍️ This is a bad idea!

@NajamAli2020 Pak is a mediator facilitating the talks. It needs to stay grounded. Mediator getting overexcited is akin to a headache pill getting too worried about the headache than the actual head itself! 😂😂

What if we suddenly see Trump embarking on a journey to Pakistan? Security arrangements in Islamabad are unprecedented.

@NajamAli2020 Gulf monarchies will definitely be uncomfortable seeing Ir@n prevail. A deal most likely will not happen for this reason?

The Deal Is Coming. This is not a war post. It is a deal post. Trump is doing what he always does before a compromise: attack the old deal, discredit past leaders, and declare that his version will be far better.

@RyanRozbiani Pretty sure those dummies from Ir@n will turn up!😂

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Who is Trump Making a Deal with when NO ONE from Iran is Going to Pakistan Everything Trump does is to get out of the Shadow of Obama This new deal with Iran is to just to beat the JCPOA. Getting a Nobel Peace Prize, is just because Obama got one. Move on man.
