@MarioNawfal It has neighbors. And virtually unguided missiles. We're ok. This month of war removed the scary bad.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s missile network is still standing… and that changes the equation. New U.S. intelligence suggests Iran’s missile systems are far harder to destroy than expected. Despite sustained U.S. and Israeli strikes, much of the launch capability remains intact. Why? Iran has spent decades preparing for this: underground bunkers, fortified shelters, decoys, and concealed launchers make it extremely difficult to know what’s actually been hit. Even more important: speed. Iranian forces are reportedly repairing damaged systems within hours and bringing launchers back online almost immediately. So while attacks continue, Iran is still launching missiles, just at a slower and controlled pace to preserve long-term capacity. This is a resilient network built to absorb damage and keep operating. Source: @Military92

🇮🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 India expects Washington to extend the Russian oil waiver expiring April 12th The 30-day waiver was issued last month to help control surging oil prices by keeping Russian crude flowing to global markets. India, one of the largest buyers of Russian oil, is banking on a renewal. The timing is awkward. The U.S. just agreed to a ceasefire partly because of the economic damage from high energy prices. Letting the waiver expire would tighten supply again at the exact moment markets are calming down. Extending it means continuing to allow Russian oil revenue while Washington is simultaneously trying to pressure Moscow over Ukraine. The war in Iran forced the U.S. into a position where it needs Russian oil on the market to keep prices manageable. That leverage doesn't disappear because a ceasefire was signed. The underlying supply gap is still there and strategic reserves are running low. India knows this. Washington probably does too. Source: @sentdefender

@MarioNawfal @MalcolmNance Duh of course, with Oman. That's the deal with caveat. And Trump says the regime is gone. So fabulous that Iran would make money to rebuild itself rather than the "nation building" after prior US wars.

Yes. And I can't find the so called White Christian Nationalists the Episcopal Church writes books about and holds lecture series on rather than inviting for discussion. I figure they can't find any either. So again. Media needs reformed. Well meaning people stubbornly hold to legacy media believing the inversions, the lies.

Have you noticed the way women in Iran have been treated - on par with cattle and sheep leaders have said - for the past 47 years? Let's start there. I think Jesus might have as he so loved the women supporting his ministry and particularly his mother, the blessed Mary. John he asked to treat her as his own mother.

Repeatedly the US has abided by ceasefire yet because another nation, for which the US does not speak continues, the US is blamed. One should recognize that Trump, as a person, is not controlling. He allows autonomy. He speaks for the US not for Israel. He doesn't speak for Melania. Or others. He's a great leader that way. He chooses others who are great and allows them to perform, to do the work. He would never presume to speak for another nation.

Odd, because actors love words and parse their meaning. Clooney's sentence is nonsense. Saying one wants to rob a bank is not illegal. Robbing the bank is. Silliness. I become embarrassed for those whose work I admire when they tip into areas of which they have little knowledge and less education.

And universal "healthcare." ObamaCare was created to remedy the fact - then - that 30 million had no health insurance. I did the math and figured we should just give each the proportional $$ Obamacare cost. Ok, so now, 30 million+ non Americans get health care here. MDs make no money and can't spend the time required to do good work. We are approaching the two tiered system of European countries in the 70's, MDs who won't take insurance yet are cost prohibitive to most.

NATO was created as defense against the USSR in the cold war. We won. The USSR does not exist. Russia is not the USSR. NATO now is like the pre WWI trip wire; attack one and all must fight? There is no need for NATO even prior to NATO nations not allowing the US to use its bases.

If we can’t rely on NATO or be allowed to use our bases in Europe … then it’s time we packed up and left. We will take our people, money, weapons, and technology. Europe has not been our friend, they’ve been a reluctant frenemy! Actual U.S. troop numbers in Europe are roughly in the 80,000–110,000 range (depending on rotations and definitions). Large scale exodus would require Congressional approval, but maybe Trump should pull a Joe Biden and just ‘up and leave’! Marco Rubio: “The United States will withdraw more than 100,000 American troops from Europe and halt its annual defense spending, which amounts to trillions of dollars.”

The 10-point plan that Trump says is a “workable basis” has several non-starters no one else, not in their right mind, would’ve agreed to let alone called a “workable basis.” Either he’s playing some 4D chess and buying time for troops to get there or it’s total capitulation. There is no middle ground.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸🇸🇦 IRAN JUST WON, THE GULF KNOWS IT Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson calls it an unequivocal strategic victory for Iran. The Gulf was hunkering down for hell tonight. Bridges closed. Embassies telling citizens to stock up on food and water. Now Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf states are doing the math. "You cut the deal with the United States, you're exposed. If you hear the U.S. say we got your back, you better worry about what they're doing to your back." Saudi Arabia. Qatar. Oman. They all see it now. Iran is the power broker. America just proved it abandons its allies.

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 ISRAEL IS NOW ALONE, AMERICA JUST WALKED AWAY Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson says the ceasefire leaves Israel completely exposed. The U.S. stops attacks on Iran. Iran keeps hitting Israel. The Strait of Hormuz stays closed for 2 weeks. Europe and Asia are getting choked. U.S. military commanders are now planning for this war to run through 2028. "We don't see any path forward for us to win." Nearly $500 million in aircraft lost in a single rescue mission. Trump may have just ended America's role in the war.

Yes! It would be funny if it weren't so sick. Everyone I know, minus one or two, are group PC and unthinking, perfectly happy in comfortable ignorance to be told by legacy media what a "good" person thinks and moan as they repeat the mantras in complete close mindedness. Friends. They are good people and want love and good for all - except! - the MAGA, and the right wing Christian Nationalists bigots (assuming there are any according to the definitions I've read). Laughing is best actually.

Trump just posted two messages within minutes of each other. Read them together or you miss everything. The first declares productive regime change, no uranium enrichment, nuclear dust removal under Space Force surveillance, sanctions and tariff relief for Iran, and many of 15 points already agreed. The second threatens 50 percent tariffs on any country supplying military weapons to Iran, effective immediately, no exclusions, no exemptions. The first is the carrot for Iran. The second is the stick for China. Together they form the architecture of the most ambitious great-power negotiation since Bretton Woods. Trump did not name China. He did not have to. Russia supplies weapons to Iran but annual US-Russia trade is under $500 million and already sanctioned into irrelevance. A 50 percent tariff on Russian goods costs America nothing. North Korea’s trade with the US is zero. The only country where a 50 percent blanket tariff on all goods sold to the United States inflicts catastrophic economic damage is China, which trades over $500 billion annually with the US and has been proven to be shipping military-grade chemicals to Iran during this war. Five Iranian-flagged vessels departed Gaolan Port in Zhuhai, China between late February and early April carrying sodium perchlorate, the critical oxidiser precursor for solid rocket propellant used in every Iranian ballistic missile. The ships are the Hamouna, Barzin, Shabdis, Rayen, and Zardis. The cargo is sufficient to reconstitute hundreds of ballistic missiles. The same missiles that hit Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar after the ceasefire was signed. The gCaptain shipping report, the Telegraph investigation, and the Institute for the Study of War all confirmed the shipments. Trump’s intelligence briefings contain the same data. The tariff post is not about Iran. It is about Beijing. This is the card Bessent carries to the mid-May summit. The architecture is now visible. At Islamabad on Friday, Vance and Witkoff negotiate the Iran ceasefire terms: nuclear dismantlement, proxy cutoff, sanctions relief. On April 19, the Treasury waiver on 140 million barrels of Chinese-bound Iranian crude expires. If Trump lets it lapse, every Iranian barrel afloat becomes sanctioned cargo and Chinese teapot refineries face secondary sanctions. Now, on top of the waiver, comes the 50 percent tariff threat on military supplies. China is squeezed from three directions simultaneously: its ghost fleet faces the waiver, its arms pipeline faces the tariff, and its rare earth monopoly faces the Bessent negotiation. The question Xi must answer before mid-May is whether the cost of continuing to arm Iran and operate the ghost fleet exceeds the cost of trading those assets for tariff relief, rare earth agreements, agricultural purchases, and a framework that preserves Chinese access to the American market for another decade. Trump is not asking China to abandon Iran. He is pricing the relationship. And the price just became 50 percent of everything China sells to America. The molecule crisis connects these two posts at the atomic level. Sodium perchlorate molecules from Gaolan become missile propellant in Isfahan. Petrochemical molecules from destroyed Iranian crackers become the reconstruction that sanctions relief would fund. Rare earth molecules from Chinese processors become the chips, magnets, and motors that justify MAG7 valuations. Every molecule passes through a chokepoint that one of the two presidents controls. Two posts. Two targets. One table. And the price of every molecule on earth just changed. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Read this post seven times. It is the most consequential presidential statement on Iran since the hostage crisis. Trump, amplified by the official White House account, just declared that the United States has determined Iran has gone through a very productive regime change. He claimed there will be no enrichment of uranium. He announced the United States will work with Iran to dig up and remove all of the deeply buried nuclear material hit by B-2 bombers. He said it is under Space Force satellite surveillance and nothing has been touched since the strikes. He confirmed talks on tariff and sanctions relief. And he stated that many of the 15 points have already been agreed to. Every sentence requires decoding. Productive regime change. No election was held. No new government was installed. What changed is that Ali Khamenei was killed on February 28, Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly unconscious in Qom, and the IRGC military council now runs the country through Mosaic Defence. Trump is framing this as regime change because the theocratic chain of command that connected the supreme leader to every institution has been severed. The entity he is negotiating with is not the Islamic Republic as constituted. It is whatever the IRGC junta has become. That reframe is deliberate. It allows Trump to claim he changed the regime without occupying the country or installing a government. The regime changed itself through the structural consequence of decapitation. No enrichment of uranium. If this is agreed, it is the most significant nuclear concession since the original JCPOA, and it goes further. The JCPOA allowed limited enrichment. Trump is claiming zero. Iran’s 10-point counter-proposal explicitly demanded recognition of enrichment as a sovereign right. If enrichment is actually off the table, the 10-point proposal is dead. If it is not actually agreed and Trump is framing aspirationally, then Islamabad on Friday becomes the most dangerous negotiation in decades, because Iran will arrive believing enrichment is still on the table and Trump will arrive believing it is not. Nuclear Dust. The B-2 strikes hit deeply buried facilities. The material that remains is radioactive debris from centrifuge cascades and enriched uranium stockpiles. Trump is proposing a joint US-Iran excavation and removal operation under Space Force satellite monitoring. This is unprecedented. No nation has ever invited the adversary that bombed its nuclear programme to jointly excavate and remove the remains. If Iran accepts, it is an implicit admission that the programme is destroyed. If Iran rejects, the material stays buried and becomes the basis for reconstitution. Fifteen points. Iran proposed ten. Trump is now referencing fifteen. The US sent its own maximalist framework to Iran via Pakistan in late March. The leaked contours included nuclear dismantlement, zero enrichment, IAEA access, uranium handover, missile limits, proxy cutoff, permanent Hormuz reopening, and phased sanctions relief. Trump claims many are agreed. Iran’s Council claimed nearly all objectives of the war have been achieved. Both sides are declaring victory over a framework that neither has published. Sanctions and tariff relief. This is the carrot that makes everything else possible. Without sanctions relief, Iran’s rial continues collapsing, its water crisis deepens, and the IRGC junta has no economic foundation. Trump is offering the lifeline. The price is the nuclear programme. The deal of a lifetime or the bluff of a century. Friday will tell. Full analysis on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Thank you. I hope you will forgive the many American women who ignorantly refuse to see the regime's treatment of women. I'm so sorry for all who have been lost and negated. But there is hope! And you will overcome the tyrants! Our scripture says, I would have despaired had I not known I would again see the goodness of the Lord in the Land of the living. King David wrote that, knowing his covenant with God. We get that covenant too, through Jesus. Regardless, we pray for you and Iran, and expect all will soon be well.

Iranian woman here, I have campaigned for this war for 5 years: Lasting peace is not an option with this barbaric and two-faced (taqiye-) regime. (Taqiye is their !5lam;c lying) And they are finished by the way, even if @realDonaldTrump leaves now. It will maybe take years, maybe even 10 years of guerrilla warfare, but the Iranians will finish the job. About 85-95 % of the people hate these trrrsts. But please don’t leave us alone with these monsters. It is in the interest of the US and the free world, the world really, that they become history. And thank you so much for all that you have done for Iran, we are forever grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻This much damage to this trrrst regime would not have been possible for the unarmed people of my country. Thank you Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu @IDF 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You have been an ally to the Iranians for years. We are forever grateful. & Thank you, @LindseyGrahamSC @SecRubio @PeteHegseth @SteveWitkoff @jaredkushner I also don’t believe that Trump is going to leave now, as he demands a complete victory for the US, and this hopefully means the US and Israel will help Iranians fight, from the air, as the Iranians fight on the ground. Arming the followers of @PahlaviReza will be the best solution on the ground. This regime, if they stay: The reign of trrr and funding their proxies and militias is going to continue. They can’t be trusted to end their nuclear program. They can’t be trusted. Lasting peace is not an option with this barbaric and two-faced regime.
