Neither side being actually willing to publish the full terms of the MOU, leaving us only to interpret it through an unending stream of contradictory interview soundbites is very reassuring.

I'm having a hard time reconciling US behavior w/the theories of my favorite hasbara anti-imperialists who insist that Zionism is the useful tool of rational American imperialists. It seems like the neocons' 21st c. wars for "Greater Israel" have been disastrous for the Empire.

And for the last six years, every American who said they felt this in their lives, saw it in the lives of family, friends and neighbors and understood the economy to be toxic and sick was told by the New York Times and others that they didn’t understand how the economy works.

IsraeI murdered a Christian pastor, his wife & daughters in Lebanon and bombed their church to rubble.
This is the ‘most moral army’ in action.

The Leader of the revolution sayyed Mujtaba Khamenei will never accept any deal with the US. However, he has delegated the power to the National Security Council, as long as the two third of its members agree to go ahead with the framework agreement, without returning to him.

#Iran 🧵
1- “We don’t accept it”
That’s the mantra of political factions and ordinary citizens who oppose the status quo and the Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understating btw Iran and the US.
Those groups have held protest gatherings against the MoU with chants against negotiators.
As far as I see the general mood among Iranians (or at least those who follow the news about Iran-US standoff) is AGAINST the memorandum of understanding Trump the moron claims Iran has approved of.
I’ll write about it more.

Tsurkov doesn’t know Nadim or power matrix in Leb so she can’t discern that this applies “deeply” to most political formations, incl Kateab. So Hezb “penetration” is a richer & more complicated issue to address. I wrote abt US role in propping their mafias:warontherocks.com/facing-up-…

Lebanese MP @nadimgemayel points to a major obstacle for implementing the Lebanese government's decision to ban the military activities of Hezbollah: Lebanon's security agencies and courts are deeply penetrated by Hezbollah, which appointed officials who obey it rather than obeying the Lebanese state. Recently, the US levied sanctions on several such officials, yet they remain in their positions.

Jeremy Scahill from @DropSiteNews tells @BreakingPointsN that the Iranian negotiation team added senior psychologists to review draft communications to Trump because they legitimately believe Trump is suffering from mental illness. Other countries are also concerned.

The Israel issue and the oligarchy issue are becoming increasingly intertwined. The U.S. is undergoing third world levels of media consolidation and it appears to be at least partly motivated by partisanship for a foreign country.

Former '60 Minutes' staffers are sick of seeing Bari Weiss destroy the show:
“She comes in as a self-declared ‘Zionist fanatic,’ and I’m sorry, but that should disqualify her from playing an editorial role in CBS News coverage of Israel.” variety.com/2026/tv/features…

Hezbollah's Hussein Al-Haj Hassan to Al Jazeera: What we have been clearly informed by Iran is that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. We were also informed that Israel will withdraw from Lebanese territory according to the agreement. We will never accept a return to the situation before March 2, 2026, and Israel has no right to stay on our land.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

For months, Israel refused to let Habiba evacuate as her limbs withered away. She lost 3 limbs because of Israel.
Thousands of injured children and cancer patients are still refused treatment or evacuation by Israel.

A year ago, the world met Habiba al-Askari, a three-year-old toddler in Gaza fighting for her life.
@JomanaCNN and @AbeerSalmanCNN's reporting resulted in Habiba's medical evacuation to Amman.
CNN returned to Jordan this year to reunite with little Habiba and her family.

American credibility has deteriorated to the point where the president can announce a diplomatic agreement and the near-universal reaction is "let's wait for confirmation from Tasnim"
