🇮🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 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



🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 NONE OF AMERICA’S MAIN WAR OBJECTIVES WERE ACHIEVED Malcolm Nance, combat veteran and senior intelligence analyst, says Iran still has missile capability and regional influence. He says the outcome may leave Iran stronger than before the war. @MalcolmNance










ISRAEL KILLED THE CEASEFIRE






🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 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.


Trump backed down. No credit to Congress, which barely made a whimper. Credit to the American people—progressive activists & anti-war conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, @mtgreenee, and many more. We need an anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro-working class coalition.



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…
