🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump on Iran:
We ended the war with Iran today, and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon, something that we insisted on. That was the whole purpose. That was 95% of it, and they’ve done it in the most powerful way you can do it.

Note: The war has not ended.
Iran should hit something just to prove what a liar trump is.

Good timing
Did they ever blow up those data centers they threatened right before the ceasefire? Cause if not… Sure would be nice of them to uphold that promise.
Did they ever blow up those data centers they threatened right before the ceasefire?
I’m pretty sure they did blow up quite a few of those.
Some Amazon data centers in Saudi Arabia were bombed lol

⭕️ Tasnim News Agency said US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that progress in negotiations has led Washington to cancel a planned attack, noting that Trump has repeatedly declared an agreement to be imminent over the past two months. The agency argued that until any potential understanding is officially announced by Iran, Trump’s statements should be viewed in the context of his previous unfulfilled claims.
Meanwhile, Fars News Agency, citing a source close to Iran’s negotiating team, reported that Iran has not approved any memorandum of understanding with the United States despite Trump’s claims that a draft agreement has been accepted at the highest levels. Fars said a draft text had been largely finalized weeks ago but negotiations stalled after Washington sought to add new provisions that Iran refused to consider. The agency added that recent Qatari mediation led the US to withdraw those additional demands and return to the original draft, while stressing that Iran has yet to provide final approval and rejecting narratives that Tehran accepted a deal under military pressure.
❗️Amnesty International formally concludes Israel is executing a deliberate state policy of ethnic cleansing
Expand
A thorough report by Amnesty International published on 10 June asserts that the Israeli government is executing an ethnic cleansing campaign in Area C of the occupied West Bank, citing extensive field research and verified digital evidence.
Between January 2023 and April 2026, state-backed settler violence and administrative restrictions forcibly displaced 5,910 Palestinians from 117 Bedouin and herding communities. The organization concluded these actions constitute the war crime of unlawful transfer and the crime against humanity of forcible transfer.
Senior officials, including Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, have explicitly facilitated this policy. By January 2026, Israel issued over 240,000 firearm licenses to civilians. Amnesty International documented armed settlers, often supported by Israeli military forces, raiding villages and sabotaging critical infrastructure. In one instance, sanctioned settler Yinon Levi killed activist Awda al-Hathaleen on 28 July 2025.
While the Israeli military claims troops “act to disperse those involved and restore order”, the research found the military often participated in or enabled the violence. Consequently, 45 communities were fully depopulated.
Amnesty International urges third states to impose targeted sanctions on officials like Benjamin Netanyahu to end the “sustained and deliberate state policy” of dispossession.

There’s something maddening about Western NGOs speaking as if they haven’t legitimized countless atrocities across the Global South.
It took them fourteen months to declare “Israel’s” extermination campaign in Gaza a genocide. I’m surprised they even bothered to comment on the West Bank.
Somaliland opens diplomatic office in Taiwan despite strong objections from Beijing, Mogadishu
While Israel has recognized Somaliland’s independence, the US recently affirmed that the breakaway territory remains part of Somalia
❗️Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said reports of a finalized agreement with the United States are “speculation” and stressed that “nothing has been finalized,” adding that Iran “has not yet reached a final conclusion regarding an agreement.”
He added that much of the draft text had already been completed but that “the Americans kept changing their positions,” while emphasizing that Iran “does not compromise on what it has defined as its red lines.”
Baghaei also said Qatar and Pakistan remain active mediators, warned that US actions are affecting the diplomatic process, and stated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has become “more insecure” due to Washington’s actions.

🇺🇸🌍🇮🇷- Four C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft are moving in support of an unannounced trip to Europe by Vice President JD Vance, with two already arrived at Ramstein Air Base in Germany and two more en route to Spangdahlem Air Base.
➡️ The aircraft are carrying White House communications packages, motorcade vehicles, and equipment, all departing from Joint Base Andrews in D.C.
they gonna do something vile during the WC huh
I fear that as well. If we see “will there be a terrorist attack at the WC” on polymarket then we’ll know for sure.
Ramstein Air Base & Spangdahlem Air Base
These two bases are also transit points for just about everything the US military sends to the Middle East.
they have an air base named rammstein?
The band was named after the base.
oh my god actually?
oh it’s named after some plane crash involving an airshow so it’s cool i think
A very big plane crash. Was a semi-big deal for millennials.
like 9/11 for schengenlibs?
I guess because it was watched by a lot of people, Idk.
❗️British lawmakers demand shutdown of secret London expo selling stolen Palestinian land
Expand
A coalition of nearly 100 British MPs and peers has mounted a fierce legislative push to halt a secretive real estate exhibition in London dedicated to selling land within illegal Israeli settlements. Organized by Labour MP Andy McDonald and sent to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, the joint letter warns that allowing the event to proceed on British soil could directly implicate the UK in international war crimes.
According to a report by Middle East Eye, the metadata and promotional material for the “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” explicitly market properties in occupied West Bank territories, including the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.
The expo, which has triggered widespread outrage and left its exact London venue hidden from the public to avoid disruption, is part of a broader international roadshow aimed at the western diaspora. Lawmakers across multiple parties, including the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and Greens, have condemned the event as a blatant attempt to monetize the ongoing displacement of Palestinians.
In the text of the letter, McDonald emphasized that the newly formed British government has a binding opportunity to uphold its obligations under international law by aggressively targeting Israel’s project of colonial expansion. The political backlash in Westminster has been bolstered by human rights organizations and local leadership calling for immediate law enforcement intervention.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan publicly condemned the exhibition, while Amnesty International UK described the commercial gathering as “apartheid and annexation with a sales pitch.” Legal advocacy groups have formally requested the Metropolitan Police to investigate whether the event violates the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, noting that while foreign buyers are invited to purchase stolen land, millions of displaced Palestinian refugees remain legally barred from exercising their right of return.
