Diane Abbott: The US/Israel war on Iran…
The US/Israel war on Iran and Trump's blockade will cost us all. Shortages could be on the way. Prices have already started to rise. And now private sector firms are cutting back. Firms cut investments and hiring in response to Iran war, surveys show
Timothy Ash: Trump started a war with Iran…
Trump started a war with Iran he cannot win or end. It strengthened the IRGC, China & Russia, weakened NATO, EU & Asian allies, boosting global inflation, increasing U.S. & global borrowing costs, slowing global growth, making the world’s poorest poorer.
Pouria Zeraati: Important/ Trump after returning from China…
Important/ Trump after returning from China: A "minor cleanup" in Iran is probably still needed. Sensitive days lie ahead.
Ben Judah: There is a lack of seriousness in the Franco-British plan…
There is a lack of seriousness in the Franco-British plan for a Maritime Coalition to “unblock the Straits of Hormuz.” It will only operate —“with Iranian permission.” Our Gulf partners don’t need us to do deals with Iran to reopen the Straits. They can do that on their own. Presenting what are essentially media and Trump management plans like this as a serious endeavour in the Gulf to allies who can see through them undermines our credibility. Better modesty and honesty: we can offer some maritime support once others make a deal to help drive down maritime insurance. https://gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-france-to-lead-multinational-strait-of-hormuz-military-planning-conference#:~:text=At%20the%20Summit%2C%20they%20called,and%20conduct%20mine%20clearance%20operations.
Daniel Lacalle: Boom. Trump and Xi demand…
Boom. Trump and Xi demand that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and warn that it "never" will be able to have nuclear weapons. The Chinese leader asserts that the 'Greater China' project is compatible with the "Make America Great Again" policy championed by the American.
David Icke: I have long said the Cult plan…
I have long said the Cult plan has always been for the centre of world power to move eastwards to China within a global system and this meeting plus the ludicrous war with China-backed Iran mark the pivotal moment when China puts its dominant role on public display. It can be seen in so many ways, but is symbolised by the intellect of a tyrant Chinese leader meeting the tail-wagging little boy microscopic intellect of Trump. The 'Thucydides Trap' was Xi stating that the days of US global dominance are over - exactly what Trump was installed to achieve with the chaos and insanity that is dismantling the old Cult world order so the new one can replace it with China and its gathering allies dictating events.
John Smith: When Western govts supported…
When Western govts supported Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians they created the conditions for Israel and the USA to go to war with Iran. We aren't innocent bystanders but Co-conspirators. The economic harm was self harm.Pouria Zeraati: Important/ Simultaneously with the Trump-Xi…
Important/ Simultaneously with the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing, the IRGC Navy has stopped and seized a ship 38 nautical miles northeast of Fujairah, UAE, and now that ship is heading toward Iranian waters.
Bushra Shaikh: Sources indicate that Israel…
Sources indicate that Israel is likely to intensify efforts to undermine Pakistan’s credibility as a mediator in the ongoing U.S.–Iran peace negotiations. In a bid for Israel to retain greater leverage over the outcome and narrative. With no mediator, convincing the U.S. to escalate the war will prove far easier for Netanyahu.
Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola: Israel has bombed every hospital in Gaza…
Israel has bombed every hospital in Gaza, including Al-Ahli. Children with cerebral palsy don't starve if they have the right nutrition. Israel blocked the special nutritional supplements this child needed. So he starved.Timothy Ash: Türkiye’s current account deficit…
Türkiye’s current account deficit will inevitably be higher because of the Iran war. But reserve buffers are still high and with its strategic importance enhanced I expect support from friendly states - KSA, Qatar, even the U.S.
Felix Rex: There are no men left in Ukraine…
There are no men left in Ukraine. They are fighting to defend a nation that will be made up with the remnants of their women and African/Islamic/Indian men now pouring in. Zelensky can flee to Israel, but this is nothing short of a civilization catastrophe that did not need to happen had he not been "placed" in his position. Weep for Ukraine.Timothy Ash: But the reality is Trump…
But the reality is Trump said no more wars but he has now got himself into a war with Iran he cannot win. The Trump cult might not like to accept the reality but he is now going into a summit with Xi from a position of extreme weakness.
Liz Webster: Trump just admitted it…
🚨 Trump just admitted it: “Do Americans’ financial situations motivate my Iran policy?” “Not even a little bit.” Food/energy soaring bc of his war and he doesn’t care. Britain is paying a heavy price for being tied to this unpredictability.
Britain Is Still Paying the Price for Trump’s War
There appears to be no end in sight to the crisis in the Middle East, and ordinary people across Britain continue to feel its effects in their everyday lives. Rising prices, economic uncertainty and growing financial pressure are fuelling mounting frustration, much of it now spilling onto social media.
Luke McGee: Trump has 2 options…
Trump has 2 options if he wants to break the deadlock in Iran: embarrassing climbdown or significant escalation. Neither guarantees US success, but the alternative is a status quo where US soft power gets weaker by the day. My latest for @theipaperFelix Rex: There are no men left in Ukraine…
There are no men left in Ukraine. They are fighting to defend a nation that will be made up with the remnants of their women and African/Islamic/Indian men now pouring in. Zelensky can flee to Israel, but this is nothing short of a civilization catastrophe that did not need to happen had he not been "placed" in his position. Weep for Ukraine.
Andrew Bridgen: A parody of the current state of the war…
A parody of the current state of the war in Ukraine ? Starmer is looking to sign the UK into the EU €80bn ‘loan’ to keep the war going. Meanwhile the deaths continue and we keep poking the bear. Who thinks we will ever see the ‘loan’ repaid given the levels of corruption ?
Ayesha Ijaz Khan: Here’s the deal…
Here’s the deal: Israel wants war. Pakistan wants peace. Israel starts to malign Pakistan falsely. First, Netanyahu claims on 60 Minutes that Pakistani bots use social media to campaign against Israel. Then CBS News, of Bari Weiss fame, claims Pakistan let Iran park jets at Nur Khan — highly unlikely Pakistan would do that.
Kathy Gyngell: Obama tried diplomacy. Biden tried...
Obama tried diplomacy. Biden tried diplomacy. Both failed! #Trump tried Project Freedom, and suddenly Iran 'wants to talk'. The lesson is brutal for anti Trump media (who will never admit it): the mullahs only respect force. http://conservativewoman.co.uk/project-freedom-has-forced-iran-to-negotiate-peace/Bushra Shaikh: This is just some of the...
This is just some of the heartbreaking devastation in Iran by U.S and Israel missiles on civilian residential homes. Hundreds killed, thousands displaced. Now I know why Bibi Netanyahu doesn't let journalists into Gaza.Pouria Zeraati: Important// Fars News Agency confirmed...
Important// Fars News Agency confirmed that the United States targeted parts of Qeshm tonight, and an "exchange of fire" took place between the regime and CENTCOM forces. It's unlikely this is the start of the second round of operations, and America's position was probably more defensive. The next round of operations will begin with a lot of surprises...
Lee Hurst: Did Trump bottle it all...
Did Trump bottle it all because they had a pilot shot down? Imagine doing all that work, getting the Islamic Regime on the ropes then backing off to let them recover. The psychology of a dictatorship is that any attempt at a ceasefire or talks means they see you as weak. I am so sad for the Iranian people. They must have really believed their moment of liberation was at hand.
Patrick Henningsen: Warmongering Hugh Hewitt - another phony...
Warmongering Hugh Hewitt - another phony ‘Christian conservative’, is a paid propagandist, absolutely in the pocket of Israel. And now everybody knows…Liz Webster: Just listens to @tparsi on Trump’s Iran...
🚨 Just listens to @tparsi on Trump’s Iran threats “Trump’s public threats risk sabotaging the diplomacy his administration is trying to advance.” The bull in a china shop foreign policy driving the Hormuz crisis is choking fertiliser and diesel, forcing UK farmers to skip sowing.David Icke: This is exactly what I have...
This is exactly what I have been saying the plan has been for decades - to move global power eastwards out of the US and the West to China and connected countries - including Iran. Trump was installed precisely so his narcissistic arrested development could be used to create the chaos necessary to bring down the old Cult order so the new one could come in. This is why it was so ludicrous for 'star influencers' to sell Trump as bringing down the 'Globalists' when the 'Globalists' have controlled him all along. Now the same 'star influencers' have turned against him in an attempt to save their 'credibility' and we're still supposed to take them seriously.Pouria Zeraati: Always count on the clerics...
Always count on the clerics and the IRGC for idiocy: While the regime said it would respond to the American proposal today, Botox Sultan "Mohsen Rezaei" said the IRI has rejected this proposal and will continue resistance…Britain Is Paying the Price for Trump’s Recklessness and Starmer’s Cowardice
It increasingly appears that US President Donald Trump no longer knows what to do about Iran. Our problem, however, is that the resulting crisis is hitting the British economy hard, whilst Starmer’s government remains paralysed — provoking entirely justified outrage across social media.Pouria Zeraati: Important/ Bibi Netanyahu announced that the Israeli army…
Important/ Bibi Netanyahu announced that the Israeli army targeted the commander of the Radwan Unit in Hezbollah's forces 'in Beirut.' According to the Trump ceasefire, Beirut was supposed to be off-limits for Israeli attacks, and Bibi has violated that commitment. Why? Because the next round of attacks on the regime is approaching, and the Lebanon ceasefire doesn't matter for now.Read more
