BREAKING NEWS: White House insiders leak that President Trump fully understands that he has lost the war. However, he is baffled as to why Iran won't give him the same deal that he would have gotten if he had won.

If a final text is ultimately agreed upon and the Trump regime doesn't implement its side of the bargain, the status of the Strait of Hormuz will immediately return to what we have witnessed over the past three and a half months. youtu.be/_SOKto37O7I?si=YcSS…

Five U.S. intelligence sources tell CNN that Iran has begun collapsing tunnels and rigging entrances with explosive mines to secure its near weapons-grade uranium stockpile. The roughly half-ton cache of highly enriched material is now far more difficult and dangerous to access.

Iran has flat out REJECTED Trump's latest claim that a deal will be signed tomorrow. IRGC affiliated FARS News Agency says the whole stunt is being staged around Trump's birthday as an insecure victory lap. They are calling it a cheap propaganda stunt made for television. The Iranian negotiating team is calling it ceremonial manipulation. The memorandum of understanding has not been finalized. There is no deal. There will be NO signing on Sunday.

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars. The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

This is just #Canada...keep it "white". A smart, innovative, visionary leader would have been forging new ties with rising powers in the Global South. Not Canada, though, "we're the most European of the non-Europeans"🤣
Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

Iran has already defeated the genocidal madman in the White House. If necessary, the Islamic Republic will humiliate him again.

The predicament Trump is in, and has been since he started the Iran War with Netanyahu, illustrates why it was so stupid and destructive to start this war in the first place. From the start, there were only two real options: 1) Take seriously all the stated war aims and try to fulfill them, which would require a protracted, self-destructive, devastating, years-long war of the kind Trump spent a decade vowing to avoid, or, 2) End the war quickly and prematurely, and then have to scurry around to find some way to claim that the US "won", which would -- at a minimum -- force Trump to credibly claim he got more than Obama's JCPOA gave, thus justifying all the massive bloodshed, instability and cost from the war. If reports are correct (and it's a big "if"), Trump is choosing option (2). But his case that he actually won anything consequential beyond what the Obama Deal provided is close to laughable, while the losses to the US (and wins for Iran) are self-evident.

President Trump promoted the 2026 World Cup as an opportunity to showcase the “beauty and greatness” of America. Instead, there have been airport detentions, visa denials and global criticism. on.wsj.com/4gc0gcY

This moron says he doesn’t need Canada. Then fuck off!!! Key things the U.S. relies on Canada for: 🛢️ Heavy crude oil – Many U.S. refineries are designed to process Canadian oil. 🌾 Potash fertilizer – Essential for American agriculture; Canada is a major global supplier. ⚛️ Uranium – Used to fuel U.S. nuclear power plants. ⚡ Hydroelectric power – Imported into parts of the northeastern U.S. 🏗️ Softwood lumber – Important for homebuilding and construction. 🔋 Critical minerals – Including nickel, cobalt, and graphite for batteries, electronics, and defense. 🥫 Aluminum – Canada supplies a significant share of U.S. aluminum needs.

BREAKING: US Energy Secretary Wright says he is not aware of the oil that President Trump claimed the US is taking out of Iran. President Trump said the oil that the US has been taking out of Iran is a big reason as to why US oil prices have fallen toward $85/barrel.
BREAKING: President Trump says "I love the inflation" and explains why after US CPI inflation rises to 4.2%. Trump also announces that the US has been taking oil from Iran, including 22 ships of oil "last night."

Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.
Trump: "Hey, we don't need anything that Canada has, we don't know anything that Mexico has, but they need everything that we have. And they have to treat us better."
