MUST SEE: Journalist @samhusseini calls out the State Dept on their months of evasiveness and deceit about (what should be) a simple question—one that he's asked them repeatedly: “Does the US government recognize the Geneva Conventions as applying to Gaza?”

⚡️An Iranian official tells me there are still two outstanding issues on the proposed MOU and depending on the position the U.S. takes on these, an agreement could be signed swiftly. He declined to elaborate on specifics. Iran assesses Trump wants to sign before the G7 summit.

You have infinitely more in common with the average person in Cuba, Iran, Lebanon or Palestine than you have with the world’s first trillionaire.

🇱🇧 NEW: Lebanon Foreign Minister Joe Raggi insists the “Lebanon issue must be separated from the Iran issue,” rejecting any efforts from Iran to stop Israeli attacks on Beirut’s behalf. “We do not accept that anyone negotiate on our behalf or sign agreements in our name. That would inevitably be to our detriment,” Raggi told Le Figaro on Friday. The remarks came after Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Friday that any agreement with the United States was conditional on an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon. “It is also a matter of the country’s sovereignty and the independence of our decisions,” said Raggi, who was appointed to his position by PM Salam in 2025. “Moreover, the courageous decision of the president of the republic to negotiate directly with Israel, under U.S. auspices, has proven that we can pursue an independent path,” he added. 🎥 The Foreign Minister also launched a sweeping attack on both Iran and Hezbollah in an interview with France’s LCI two days ago, accusing Tehran of having “spread chaos, terror and instability throughout the Middle East and even across the world” while holding the Iranian people “hostage” under a regime that “has no remorse about massacring its own people.” Raggi said Hezbollah had “dragged Lebanon into a war that has nothing to do with us,” describing it as “an armed arm of Iran” used to “control Lebanon and destabilize the entire Middle East.” “Hezbollah’s weapons are useless,” he said, and claimed the group “could neither liberate Jerusalem, nor support Gaza, and not even defend Lebanon.” (Translations by Drop Site)

Sanders predictably pretending left-right agreement is rare. I wrote a piece about this myth years ago — The Perennially “Unusual” Yet Somehow Ubiquitous Left-Right Alliance: Towards Acknowledging an Anti-Establishment Center votepact.org/archives/2014/0…

The "ultimate alternative" sounds a lot like a nuclear threat. Not the first time Trump has hinted at it. Iran has been attacked twice by two nuclear-armed states & still hasn't weaponized. And what he's about to sign isn't a nuclear deal, no matter how he tries to market it.

Right away @SenSanders has to maintain division by commenting he "has very little in common with @RepThomasMassie politically." Yes,we know you&your party @TheDemocrats are bought off by @AIPAC &other special interests,are PRO-#WAR, AGAINST transparency&are rubber stamps 4 power!
