From Sony Thang on the USA:

There has never been a terrorist organization on Earth with the global reach of the United States.
None with more bases.
None with more proxies.
None with a larger civilian kill count.
None with a better public relations department.
That is what makes it so dangerous.
America is not merely violent.
It is violently respectable.
It can strike a school full of children and still have "experts" explain why the massacre was "complex."
It can back genocide and still get invited to human rights summits.
The gangster at least admits he is a gangster.
The empire wants a Nobel Prize.

🇺🇸The oil tankers seized by Trump are costing the US tens of millions of dollars, - NYT

  • The US campaign to seize oil tankers transporting oil from countries under US sanctions has turned out to be much more expensive than expected.

  • The maintenance of just one tanker, Skipper, has already cost the US 47 million dollars over three months, with the cost of the ship itself estimated at around 10 million dollars.

Is it Islamic ethics to open your land to America and the Zionist entity to attack Iran?

To bomb Yemen for 10 years — funerals, weddings, hospitals, mosques?”

🇷🇺 Russia is considering deploying armed escort teams and naval protection for vessels under the Russian flag.

Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said measures are being developed to place special defensive systems on ships and to organize convoy protection by the Russian Navy. He stressed that diplomatic and legal tools are often insufficient amid the Western campaign against Russian shipping.

If new threats emerge from European countries, Russia will implement additional countermeasures.

Patrushev called the attack on the tanker Arktik Metagas in the Mediterranean a blatant act and classified it as international terrorism.

🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Americans haven’t forgotten how, even as hundreds of U.S. soldiers were dying in Vietnam, and the outcome was already clear, General William Westmoreland was flown home to reassure everyone that the war was going well — that the U.S. was “winning.”

The media haven’t forgotten either; those briefings full of fantasy from the frontlines became infamous as the “Five O’Clock Follies.”

Fast forward to today: same script, different stage; Hegseth steps up, and the message is still detached from reality.

The U.S. government says one thing, reality says another. Right as U.S. authorities claim Iran’s air defences are gone, an F-35 gets hit. As they declare Iran’s navy finished, USS Gerald Ford turns back, and USS Abraham Lincoln drifts farther away.
Different decade, same “we’re winning.”

The American political class believes everyone is secretly as cowardly as they are.

That deep down, every people will eventually choose comfort over honor, safety over sovereignty, appetite over principle.

Iran is the recurring proof that this assumption is false.

That is why they cannot leave it alone.

It is not just a geopolitical rival.

It is a metaphysical insult to their anthropology.

It proves that human beings can still be organized by faith, memory, sacrifice, and destiny.

Trump cannot understand any of this because he cannot even understand silence unless it is flattering him.

I wonder when people will realise how fucked they are despite being seemingly not involved in the war. A day before the war started a liter of gas cost 1.47 euro here. Now it is at 1.84. Nearly 40 cents more. Energy prices are skyrocketing as well and it will take people some time to notice. But they will notice. And then what? Blame immigrants again I guess.

From Sony Thang

Some Islamic regimes speak as if Iran became their enemy the moment it answered aggression.

Think about the sickness required to say that out loud.
American bases operate from your soil.
Israeli interests are protected by your silence.
Muslims are massacred in full view of the world.
And the state you call "reckless" is the one refusing to die quietly.
What kind of Islam is this?
An Islam terrified of America.
An Islam domesticated by luxury.
An Islam that has memorized verses but forgotten courage.
Do not call that wisdom.
Call it what it is:

Faith emptied out and rented to empire.

🇮🇷 Iran has established a safe transit corridor through the Strait of Hormuz.

At least nine vessels have already passed, routed near Larak Island for visual inspection by IRGC naval forces and port authorities, according to Lloyd’s List, a maritime intelligence outlet.

This aligns with broader reports that Tehran is selectively allowing ships through while maintaining effective control over the strait and restricting wider traffic.

The publication reports that the World Energy Organization has recommended governments reduce speed limits on highways and urged workers to carpool or, ideally, work from home to combat the sharp rise in oil prices and looming fuel shortages caused by the conflict in the Middle East.

It has also recommended that all countries consider restricting vehicle access to designated areas in major cities.

"If you want the war to continue — $5 trillion. If you want it to stop — $2.5 trillion."

Omani journalist and international affairs researcher Salem Al-Jahoori on BBC Arabic confirms reports of U.S. pressure on Gulf Cooperation Council states to pay up, either way.

According to leaks Al-Jahoori cites, Trump is demanding GCC states pay $5 trillion to sustain the war, or $2.5 trillion as a fee for stopping it, framed as payment for "what has been accomplished."

If the information about the strike on Diego Garcia is correct, then one of the central assumptions about the Iranian missile program has collapsed. For many years, the generally accepted range of their missiles was about 2,000 kilometers. A ballistic missile that reached Diego Garcia implies a range of about 4,000 kilometers, which places Iran in the category of countries possessing fundamentally different weapons. And for them, this is a strategic leap.

The main thing is not whether the missile was intercepted or not. The point is that Iran may have demonstrated a range of action far exceeding what most of the world believed it possessed.

The possibility of a strike at a range of 4,000 kilometers changes the balance of power in the region. Major European capitals are now vulnerable. Paris is within reach. London is significantly approaching the border of vulnerability, depending on the launch point and payload. This will mean that the missile threat is no longer limited to the Persian Gulf, Israel, or certain parts of South Asia.

In general, it can be assumed that the Iranian message was received on the other side by everyone who needed to receive it.

However… after people exposed their lie for it being a Bell 214A helicopter used for rescue operations and transport injured people, they deleted the tweet.

TL;DR don’t take IDF claims for granted. They lie more than you’d think.
