🇺🇸🇮🇷 Rubio to Iran: "No international waterway, no international airspace should ever be used or nationalized by any country in the world. That should never be accepted as a new normal." Iran wants Hormuz on its terms. Rubio disagrees.


🇵🇰🇮🇷🇺🇸 An Iranian official to Al Jazeera: "We have reached a memorandum of understanding with the Pakistani mediator and are awaiting the American response. The memorandum of understanding includes ending the war, lifting the blockade, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and the departure of American forces from the war zone. The memorandum of understanding does not include nuclear issues because they are complex and require sufficient time for negotiation. After 30 days of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, a door to nuclear negotiations could be opened. It was planned that the Pakistani army chief [Asim Munir] would announce the memorandum of understanding in Tehran, but he left to coordinate with Washington. The state of Qatar played a key role in drafting the memorandum of understanding, and there was communication between the mediators and Washington. It is not possible for Iran to make more concessions than those stipulated in the memorandum of understanding"















🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 Trump visited Beijing this week. Putin visits next week. Xi is in the driver’s seat. The U.S. and Russia are the two most militarily powerful nations on Earth, although neither has necessarily felt that way in Iran and Ukraine, respectively. China is at the center of the geopolitical landscape, the world’s most vital broker. Trump left with underwhelming soybean deals. What will Putin leave with? Source: EFE

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 Trump and Xi agreed on 2 things about Iran: no nuclear weapons, and the Strait of Hormuz must reopen. Trump after the meetings wrapped at Zhongnanhai: "We've settled a lot of different problems that other people wouldn't have been able to solve." But Trump made clear his patience with Tehran is running out. "They should make a deal. I am not going to be much more patient." Trump said the uranium hunt was "more for public relations than anything else." He immediately added "the other thing we could do is bomb it again" and "I would feel better getting it." In typical Trump fashion: two completely opposite things, one sentence apart. Source: Reuters, The Guardian



🇨🇺🇺🇸 Nick Shirley dropped raw footage from inside Cuba: No oil, gas, medicine, or eggs. Most people are going hungry. Within 24 hours, he says intelligence agents followed him and a 2-star general interrogated him at 4 AM. He had to plan an escape.


🇺🇸 Q: "If James Comey ever went to jail, would you ever let him out?" Trump: "Ehh...that might be a hard one for me. Because he's a dirty cop." Comey is currently facing federal charges brought by Trump's own DOJ. Trial date set for july 15
