Trump bombed #Iran and staged another assassination “attempt” (by a Black man, btw, who was not miraculously shot dead but subdued) to divert from the #EpsteinFiles but there is plenty to investigate without them.

like the master race rape & birthing ranch built by a military (nuclear) contractor:

allegedly two girls were killed and buried under one of the building's compounds.

the other is his island. we still do not know what horrors he buried there.

The war on Iran and the logic of pushback | Al Mayadeen
English https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/the-war-on-iran-and-the-logic-of-pushback

"The war on Iran is not a sudden escalation but the result of decades of Western pressure, best understood through realism, systems thinking, and an anti-colonial lens. Iran and the Axis of Resistance are now pushing back as a regional system under siege, using strategic depth and chokepoint leverage to raise the costs of aggression."

"The US-led war on Iran extends beyond Tehran, using blockades and sanctions to disrupt energy flows, target China-linked networks, and exert systemic pressure on Beijing’s economic foundations."

"Consider this week in full. The abominable Easter Sunday social media post that dropped the f-bomb and mocked Islam. The far more abominable post two days later about destroying one of history's most accomplished civilizations. The complete and utter backing down from it hours later. The phantom ceasefire, which Netanyahu obviously intentionally wrecked."

Yaghoub Karimpour and Nasser Bekrzadeh hanged early Saturday - They accused of spying for #Israel

Alongside China for the highest rate of per capita executions in the world, Iran has stepped up use of the death penalty during the US-Israel War

2 months into a war with the #US & #Israel, #Iran no longer has a single, undisputed clerical arbiter at the pinnacle of #power — an abrupt break with the past that may be hardening Tehran’s stance as it weighs renewed talks with ​Washington.

Another complication:🚨"Iran has been unable to open the Strait of Hormuz to more shipping traffic because it cannot locate all of the mines it laid in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, according to US officials."

#Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth is facing questioning from lawmakers for the first time since the #Trump admin launched the #war against #Iran, which Democrats have contested as a costly conflict of choice waged without congressional approval.

The chief financial official for the #Pentagon told lawmakers that the estimated cost to #US taxpayers of the #IranWar is $25 billion so far.

“A protester breached the airside perimeter at Shannon Airport in #Ireland today, climbed onto the wing of a parked #US Air Force C-130 Hercules and damaged the fuselage with what is believed to be an axe, taking the aircraft out of service.

Shannon Airport briefly closed. The man was arrested by Gardaí and the Armed Support Unit. Shannon has been used as a key US #military transit hub throughout the #Iran war, despite the Irish government's insistence it is not being used for #war.”

Science and engineering just got us back to the moon

Weapons just closed a important water way that was open before

But yeah, keep cutting funding on science and keep spending on weapons

"The Islamabad talks between the United States and Iran are in serious trouble. According to the Financial Times, the negotiations have already reached a stalemate, talks have turned heated, and the central breaking point is control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran walked in demanding full authority over the waterway. The U.S. floated joint control as a compromise. Iran said no."

Jasmine El-Gamal -- @jasmineelgamal

“We could not get to a situation where the Iranians could accept our terms.”

Those words just now from #VicePresident #JDVance demonstrate the fundamental flaw in these "negotiations"--a simplistic expectation on the part of the US that Iran would agree to American terms in the span of hours or days.

That is not a negotiation. That is an ultimatum. Those are two very different things.

To offer an ultimatum and have it be accepted, the other party has to perceive itself as having no choice--in other words, to be weak enough that they have to accept terms, rather than begin talks.

Iran does not see itself as that weak...far from it. So why would the US think it could go in and dictate terms?

A very discouraging update indeed.

#US & #Iran officials #fail to come to agreement in face-to-face in Islamabad #ceasefire talks

#JDVance said negotiations between the US & the Iranians have ended without a deal after the Iranians refused to accept US terms to not develop a nuclear weapon.

The high-stakes talks ended after 21 hours, Vance said, with the vice president in constant communication with #Trump & others in the administration.

"The US president, Donald Trump, said the US Navy would immediately start blockading the strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, he said the US is going to start 'BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.'"

"Good explanation from the Brookings Inst on🚨the problems with the #US trying to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz against Iran’s will. TL;DR🚨Iran has asymmetric advantages to cheaply strike vessels passing through, & markets won’t be reassured until that threat is gone."

You can call these videos Iranian propaganda as much as you want, but mixed with a small amount of propaganda is a large amt of truth, suspicion & questions the American public deserve answers to.

There's lots of innuendo in this one. You may need to watch more than once to catch it all.

YouTube is removing some of the videos, but many are still available. Whomever is making the videos is well aware of questions we all discuss on social media.

#US Central Command has announced that it will begin a blockade of #Iran #ports on Monday at 10AM ET.

#CENTCOM said the blockade would be “enforced impartially against vessels of all nations” entering or departing Iranian ports & coastal areas.

It said it would still allow ships traveling between non-Iranian ports to transit the #StraitOfHormuz.

"Uma civilização inteira vai morrer esta noite", postou o bravateiro montado na maior máquina de guerra do mundo.

A vida de milhões de iranianos está em jogo agora, mas também a vida desse verme. Algum paralelo histórico é possível em relação a essa nova ameaça? O lançamento das duas bombas atômicas no Japão? O holocausto nazista? Pelo visto ele quer acenar com algo novo, e se vier alguma coisa daí, o custo também vai ser grande pra ele, a única consolação possível quando os trabalhadores de um modo geral fracassamos na tática do derrotismo revolucionário, o boicote da guerra.

Trump made the comment on social media just after the blockade of #Iran was expected to begin. Trump said Iran has some “fast attack ships” remaining even after much of its navy was destroyed by US strikes.
