🇺🇸 Trump deleted his post depicting himself as Jesus on Truth Social.
The remarkable aspect was that the main critics were his MAGA allies.
When the polls show an increasing drop in your image, maybe that post wasn't a good idea after all.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports went into effect at 10AM. Here’s what that actually means in practice: When a U.S. Navy vessel intercepts a ship trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz, the options range from a radio warning to the bottom of the ocean: Option 1: Verbal warning to turn back Option 2: Board and seize the vessel Option 3: Warning shots across the bow Option 4: Sink the ship In 1962, JFK imposed a naval "quarantine" on Cuba, deliberately avoiding the word blockade because under international law a blockade is an act of war. The Soviets kept sailing toward the line. For 24 hours the world held its breath. Then the ships turned around. What made Cuba work: both sides had a back channel, neither wanted nuclear war, and Khrushchev had a face-saving exit What’s different now: Iran has declared any vessel approaching the strait a ceasefire violation, the IRGC claims full control of the waterway, and talks just collapsed The first vessel that tests the line will define everything, whether it turns back, gets boarded, or gets fired upon sets the rules for everything that follows JFK left room for diplomacy by calling it a quarantine. Trump has no qualms about calling this what it really is. Source: CNBC, CENTCOM

🚨Does this ring a bell to people once number-tagged and whose body parts were marked with numbers?
Palestinians held by Israel were starved, tortured and numbered. They risked execution if they erased the numbers on their wrists. #Gaza

חיילי צה"ל תועדו הבוקר משליכים גז מדמיע על תלמידים מאום אל-חיר בדרום הר חברון שניסו להגיע לבית הספר. מעט לפני כן דווחו הפלסטינים כי מתנחלים חסמו את הדרך, ונראו דגלי ישראל וגדר תייל נמוכה שהוצבו במקום. שאלתי את צה"ל על כך הבוקר, התשובה שקיבלתי לפני כמה דקות: "מצה"ל נמסר כי הכוחות הגיבו באמצעי לפיזור הפגנות בעקבות התקהלות של מספר פלסטינים במרחב, לא היו נפגעים"

TRUMP CLAIMS IRAN NAVAL FORCES “OBLITERATED”
Iran naval forces were “completely obliterated,” with 158 ships allegedly destroyed, while only small fast-attack craft remain, according to Donald Trump.
He warned any vessels approaching a blockade zone would be targeted, citing the same enforcement approach used in anti-narcotics operations at sea.
Trump also claimed maritime drug flows into the United States have fallen by 98.2%.

@robin_j_brooks @Castelhano75 Why didn’t they blockaded pre ceasefire?
Is it really turnkey as you imply?
Maybe the balance tilts when the third carrier arrives but that should be something you specify.
Otherwise one is left to wonder why the President publically asked for help w Hormuz instead of this?
English
@Castelhano75 Oh, but it will. No oil tanker will want to risk being impounded by the US. If the Iranians can blockade the Strait of Hormuz with a few drones, obviously the US Navy can enforce a blockade.
English
A blockade collapses Iran's imports to zero because there's no cash from oil exports to pay for anything. It sends Iran's currency into a devaluation spiral and the economy into hyperinflation. There's pros and cons to a blockade, but the pros dominate...

@CaitlinDoornbos @DecolonialMinds Fair point on Vance but frankly his gracious tone was revealing.
He said it was an honest misunderstanding; when’s the last time we gave Iran grace or conciliatory tone for anything? Lol
The assets could be a misunderstanding. In a race to any off-ramp that can happen.
English
@305Live2 @DecolonialMinds I think it’s possible there was a miscommunication along the way, as there was no single written agreement exchanged and approved by both US and Iran. Even Vice President Vance has acknowledged this possibility.
English
IRGC has warned any approach by military vessels toward the Strait of Hormuz will be seen as a violation of the ceasefire, but Trump has pointed out the ceasefire achieved was dependent on Iran reopening the strait — which hadn't really happened.
English
@CaitlinDoornbos @DecolonialMinds Was Ghalibaf lying?
Or did he change his mind?
The US also loteralky drafted Sharif’s tweet including Lebanon only to bend to Netanyahu and later claim otherwise.

NEW | Documents reveal the FBI cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) last year, citing concerns that the organization was operating a private surveillance network using subscription-based tools to monitor Americans online, including producing intelligence reports on domestic threats.

@adamscochran Based on the reporting below Zolghadr is there per IRGC request.
I think the delegation tips the hand of the first tranche of goals for Iran. Sanctions & Hormuz.
Hopefully that’s the disconnect but we’ll see.
English
The concern here, is that the Iranian delegation does not include representation from either:
* The Assembly of Experts (the clerics who elect the Supreme Leader)
* The Supreme Leaders Office
* Guardian Council
* The IRGC
This supports the rumors that the “secular government” (I.e the parliament and Presidential offices) has split with the IRGC.
Because Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is believed to be in a coma, there is a supposed power struggle between the parliamentary leaders and the IRGC, both who think they should be in charge of decision making.
This would also explain why we’ve seen different goals expressed, and why the parliament and foreign ministers office keep claiming they didn’t do any attacks during the ceasefire, while the IRGC obviously launched a number of strikes.
The IRGC is separate from their national army, and very loyal to its own leaders.
So if there is a power struggle internally, it’s possible we’ll see rogue attacks without the administrative governments consent, and there is even the risk of a coup or revolution, although at this stage I’d give it very low odds.
But it certainly means if any peace deal was achieved here, it will be on shaky grounds - as some of the core decision makers, who have their fingers on the button, don’t have a seat at the table.
English
@0hour1 @grok Why do you think Trump has paid in to NATO for 5.5 years?
When bush called they ran to help.
Trump calls and it just rings.
5.5 years he’s paid. They ignored him. Art of the deal.

The way news headlines hijack the narrative is fascinating, but let me tell you why they never mention vessel types, cargo, sanctions status, or total volume.
Do you honestly believe passage through the SoH is still unrestricted? I truly cannot understand the chants from the crowd every time a single LPG tanker manages to squeeze through.
"A ceasefire predicated on the full reopening of Hormuz"? Are you pretending not to know the truth, or do you simply refuse to see it in the first place?
