#Trump vetoed a plan by #Israel in recent days to kill the #Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei, 2 #US ofcls told Reuters on Sunday.
“Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a snr Trump admin ofcl.
[Jan 28, 2024, three #US service members were killed & 25 injured by an Iran backed militia drone attack on a US base in Jordan, near the Syria border.]
Report: US quietly sent 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel before its attack on Iran.
"Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes".
"The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack Iran".
"The CIA was briefed in April & May on Israeli plans to unilaterally attack Iran’s nuclear sites."

“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.
Silence is complicity.
Inaction is complicity.
Apologism is complicity.
Do something!

Washington hunkers down for Trump's military parade - EUROPE SAYS
WASHINGTON — Miles of fencing and concrete barriers lace the nation’s capital ahead of President Trump’s military parade along the National Mall on SaturdayEUROPE SAYS
The European Commission #EC proposed this week to drop the cap to $45, with High Representative Kaja Kallas suggesting that because #RussianOil mostly transits the Baltic & Black Seas, US support for the measure is not essential.
An accord involving all #G7 nations would be more effective because of the strength of US enforcement, but the #US opposes dropping the price cap, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources.
The #G7 introduced the $60-a-barrel cap that restricts the price #Russia can earn from its seaborne #oil. But it has not been effective in curbing the Kremlin's revenues since coming into effect in February 2023, partly because of Moscow's #sanctions-busting "shadow fleet" of older vessels & a slump in oil prices.
Revenues from #FossilFuels form the core of #Russia's fiscal planning. As well as targeting Russia's #NaturalGas, the European Commission's 18th #sanctions package proposed lowering the cap on seaborne Russian #oil from $60 to $45.
The #EU measures, which also target Russian businesses & banking, requires the backing of all 27 members. The proposal on Russian oil would need the support of the #G7, which meets later this month.
#Putin's #Oil Empire Gets Double Boost
The #US will not back an #EU proposal to impose a price cap on #RussianOil that seeks to curb revenues for Russian President Vladimir Putin's #war machine, acc/to Bloomberg.
#Russia could also benefit from the spike in oil prices following #Israel's attack on #Iran, a major producer of the commodity.

#Trump tells Reuters 'we knew everything'
Trump is not concerned about regional #war breaking out in the #MiddleEast, he told Reuters in a phone interview.
The #US 'knew everything" about #Israel's strike on #Iran, he said, adding "I tried to save Iran humiliation & death."
"I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out. They can still work out a deal however, it’s not too late," he said.
"Trump's Kim Jong-un–style celebration of this year’s #FlagDay ...
The Trumpian June 14, 2025 #parade and celebration will be the successor to that angry #insurrection of #Jan6, 2021...
If you want to see true #patriotism this #June14, turn away from Trump’s propagandistic spectacle and look instead to those responding across the country with a loud, proud chant of #NoKings! "

In response to Trump's birthday plans, a coalition of opposition groups... will be holding nationwide rallies on June 14—the “ No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.”"
