Saudi outlet Al Arabiya has published what it claims are the details of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding: ➡️ An immediate and permanent end to fighting across all fronts, including Lebanon. ➡️ The U.S. lifting its naval blockade on Iran. ➡️ A complete U.S. military withdrawal from the region within one month of a final agreement. ➡️ Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz within one month. ➡️ A U.S.-backed reconstruction package for Iran worth at least $300 billion. ➡️ The eventual removal of all U.S., U.N., and IAEA sanctions and restrictions on Iran. ➡️ Iran pledging not to develop nuclear weapons, while keeping its current nuclear program in place until a future agreement resolves the issue of enriched uranium. ➡️ The resumption of Iranian oil exports, along with the release of frozen Iranian funds.

The irony is almost unbelievable. For years, some conservatives warned that Obama would turn the White House into a celebrity playground, politicize every institution, and treat it like his personal brand. He didn’t. Now there’s a UFC event on the White House grounds, corporate sponsorships everywhere, and a cage fight being used as a presidential spectacle. Trump did to the White House what his critics feared. The joke wrote itself.

Again and again, Russia kills the people and destroys the cultural sites it says it went to war to protect. These crimes will end when the US supplies missile defense to Ukraine and enforces sanctions on Russian energy. theguardian.com/world/2026/j…

This is a bottomless pit of corruption, large and small. Every aspect of the presidency is being treated by @POTUS and his family as an opportunity to cash in. No one has ever seen anything like it! cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…
