🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees. Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare. His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

BREAKING: Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. Israel is bombing residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut. A ceasefire that still allows bombs to fall on civilians is not a ceasefire.

NEW: This Is A Pretty Stunning Pattern. According to CNN, Trump has now claimed some version of an imminent deal with Iran at least 38 times since the conflict began. Not once. Not twice. Thirty-eight times. Trump spoke of victory. He spoke of a deal being close. He spoke of final documents. He spoke of an agreement taking shape. Hours later, new strikes were reported. Then Iranian officials publicly denied key parts of Trump's account and disputed claims that a deal was effectively at hand. Not whether a deal eventually happens. It's that the promise of a deal keeps arriving long before the deal itself.

Explosions shook southern Lebanon on Saturday as Israel continued its attacks, despite US President Trump saying a US-Iran deal will be signed on Sunday. Iranian media reported the initial agreement would declare an end to the war “on all fronts, including Lebanon.”

Israel FURIOUS over emerging US-Iran deal, officials warn it ‘stabs us in the back’ Israeli officials are reacting with outrage to reports of a new US-Iran agreement, claiming it undermines their security while failing to fully address Iran’s programs. According to Ynet, sources inside Israel’s leadership have slammed the agreement as a “bad deal,” with one official accusing the Trump administration of “stabbing us in the back.” Analysts note the deal comes after Iranian pressure and US concessions, which many in the region will see as a major diplomatic victory for Tehran. Israeli officials are already questioning the deal’s credibility, particularly whether Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles will truly be removed, revealing Tel Aviv’s deep discomfort with any agreement that does not completely capitulate to its demands.

🔥 Trump’s Plan to End Iran War has a Major Flaw: NO RELEASE OF FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS.” — AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM Trump’s Iran war termination plan is cracking — and tomorrow’s ‘deal signing’ may be fiction. I am exposing the contradiction: “Trump says he will not release any frozen funds released up front.” But Iran’s top officials insist the opposite — “there will be money up front or there will be no deal… because we have no trust in the United States.” I show why these positions can’t coexist: Trump says categorically no, while Iran says categorically yes. And the bottom line: “Somebody is going to have to make a big change from what they’ve been saying publicly - or the whole façade will come off and we will re-discover that this has been a charade from the beginning, leaving us no closer to an end then we were in early April 👉 Watch the full clip — before the promised ‘deal’ collapses on contact with reality. open.substack.com/pub/daniel… 🏷️ #IranWar #USStrategy #MiddleEastConflict #DanielDavis #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #StraitOfHormuz #WarAndPeace #GlobalStability

Replying to @BarbaraPocock
The Albanese government now has a well established pattern of not being able to admit mistakes & instead digging in on bad decisions. Then eventually they succumb to pressure & cave, having unnecessarily lost a lot of social capital in the process. AUKUS will be the same one day

Palantir is worming into Australian national security agencies — what could possibly go wrong?
“It’s insane, we have a rogue US military contractor handling our most sensitive data. Palantir has a contract running our nuclear missile program. We have no national security.” Palantir. IT'S WORSE Than You Think @carolecadwalla

⚡️ NEW: Iran says no final decision has been made on U.S. proposal as Fars reports Washington dropped new demands 🔸 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Thursday that Tehran has “not reached a final conclusion” on the text of a proposed memorandum of understanding with the United States, adding that the relevant institutions are still reviewing every detail and that any decision will be announced officially. ➤ His comments come as Iran’s Fars News Agency, citing a source familiar with the talks, reports that the negotiating framework between U.S. and Iranian officials had been largely finalized around two weeks ago and was awaiting final approval in Tehran and Washington. According to the report, President Trump later sought to add new provisions that had not been accepted by the U.S. negotiating team, prompting Iran to halt engagement with the revised text. ➤ The account closely mirrors what an Iranian official told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill. The official said on June 7 that the basic outlines of an agreement had been in place for more than 20 days, and reiterated yesterday that Trump “disrupted” the agreed negotiating framework by introducing new demands that fell “outside the framework of negotiations,” adding that “from our perspective, there is absolutely no possibility of responding” to them. ➤ Fars says Qatari mediators informed Tehran this week that Washington had dropped those additional demands and returned to the earlier framework. The report argues that, despite Trump’s increasingly confrontational public rhetoric, it is the U.S. that has retreated from its later demands, while Iran has yet to give a final response.

John Lyons casts serious doubt on Donald Trump’s claim that he’ll strike a deal & stop attacking Iran, warning this is the 32nd time he has promised to end the war. 🙄 “I think it’s 32 times he said that. There is scepticism here, even at the White House.”💥 #auspol #IranWar‌

This is supremely embarrassing for AUKUS and Defence Minister Marles, the UK Defence Minister didn’t even reference AUKUS in his 2 page resignation. But not as embarrassing as Australia pouring billions into the UK’s failing nuclear submarine industry, water in a sieve style.
