I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.

Naim Qassem: In light of the current developments in Lebanon and the region, we reaffirm the following: 1. The resistance continues with the legitimacy of the right to resist, as guaranteed by the Taif Agreement, and will confront any aggression against it and Lebanon. There is no room for discussion about withdrawing its weapons as long as the occupation exists and its aggression continues. The enemy must withdraw according to the agreement of 27/11/2024 and Resolution 1701, and the Lebanese army must deploy in southern Lebanon, north of the Litani River. 2. The "Framework Agreement" has no legitimacy because it violates the Constitution, the Taif Agreement, the laws, the presidential oath, and the government statement. It is, by its very nature, non-existent. It is an agreement that gives the enemy what it does not have, and it compromises the sources of Lebanon's strength, relying on division and the destruction of the country. 3. We attach great importance to the agreement between Iran and the United States, as it represents a source of strength—alongside the steadfastness of the Resistance, our people, and their supporters. The effectiveness of this agreement was demonstrated the moment the memorandum of understanding was launched, leading to a reduction in the level of aggression against Lebanon. The Islamic Republic of Iran has placed the cessation of Israeli aggression against Lebanon and the withdrawal from its territory at the very top of its priorities—a profound sacrifice for which we, as a beacon for the free people of the world, express our deep appreciation. 4. It is of no concern to us who governs the usurping Israeli entity. However, let it be known that it will not be able to sustain its occupation, and it must withdraw from our land. 5. An end must be put to American tutelage and its control over certain state apparatuses; such tutelage is akin to occupation, and both constitute a violation of sovereignty. 6. We salute the remarkable solidarity shown by our people—and all honorable citizens in our country—in support of the resistance. We reaffirm our pledge—a solemn promise and commitment—that we shall stand together through the processes of providing shelter, restoration, and reconstruction. We will utilize our own resources while also striving to ensure that the Lebanese state fulfills its duties, alongside the assistance provided by our sisterly and friendly nations. 7. We are committed to national unity, and we are ready to do everything to bridge the divide and unite the position, but we want actions from others that practically confirm this belief in unity 8. We assure you that the relationship between Hezbollah and the Amal movement, as well as the allied forces supporting the resistance, is strong. We uphold the sovereignty of Lebanon, emphasize the importance of the national army and its support, and reject sectarianism in all its forms. We advocate for dialogue and understanding with all components of the Lebanese people and the government, within the framework of national sovereignty and the constitution.

🚨🇪🇸 A Spanish journalist ends his program in tears following the horrific train collision earlier today... 68 people are now dead. The country is grieving. HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!??! Writer: Samuel

Not just countries but corporations. I got the notification [N days ago, I can't say] well before the news hit.

CRY FOR ARGENTINA Javier Milei was a fraud from the beginning, an Israeli puppet, repped by Elon Musk, Trump & usual crowd of opportunists. MAGA was calling it a ‘Libertarian revolution’ before this toxic avenger even did anything. And he’s a crypto scammer to boot. Anyone with half a brain shouldn’t be shocked…

This is what Flávio Bolsonaro just did in Brazil >Feds demanded his passport >They want to arrest him >Post kayfabe bait saying you're not going to flee >Pack bags and say goodbye to dad Jair >Turn music on at full blast on JBL speaker, leave lights on so they still think you are there >Sneak out with your family without anyone knowing >Arrive safely in the U.S.

Iran must understand that there is a huge difference between the combined military and diplomatic strength of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan -tied by Mecca Pact- and that of the US and Israel. Iran is bordered on land by Türkiye and Pakistan, while Saudi Arabia is separated from Iranian landmass by the waters of Persian Gulf. The Mecca Defence Pact has brought Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia together as one united and inseparable body. For Iran, the best option would be to join this alliance and become a responsible member of the emerging regional security architecture rather than confront it on the pretext of punishing America. Using proxies against a brotherly Muslim country or seeking to expand political manoeuvring space in the region is not a wise policy option.

Saudi Arabia dropped a spokesman for an armed resistance in Sana'a but he was identified as an ex-anchorman who is currently based in the US right after his first video statement.

Kata'ib Hezbollah has warned the Iraqi government that closing border crossings with Iran would mean closing those with Jordan and Saudi Arabia as well. Either the crossings remain open to everyone, or all crossings will be closed.

Iran is preparing its citizens to be nuked by Trump. They know this is possible but are prepared to keep going. They will not kneel.

These terrible takes are great opportunities for learning:

Annnnnd there we go. It was never about Netanyahu.

That will be the tell (assuming he loses). I think Israel provides 60 days after the election before the new gov takes over. If he isn't allowed to remain via emergency powers due to the reignition off the war, I'd bet money on it. Trump needed Bibi around to hang the war on.

🇾🇪 Yemen’s Ansarallah movement said Egypt’s decision to authorize defensive military support for Saudi Arabia against Ansarallah attacks amounts to a “declaration of war” on Yemen, according to AFP. “It is truly remarkable that while these parties are supposedly pursuing peace in the region, Egypt and its parliament announce their support for what they call the defense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Mohammed Al-Houthi, a member of Ansarallah’s Supreme Political Council. “In doing so, Egypt is declaring war on the Republic of Yemen.”

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Netanyahu blames “the Left” and the “Arabs”that are rigging the elections: “Do you see this? This is record turnout at the polling stations of the Arab parties—there has never been anything like this. The Left is at an all-time high”
