Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, stated that Tehran currently has no plans to resume talks with the United States. He emphasized that the naval blockade of Iran constitutes a clear breach of the ceasefire, making any negotiation under such conditions illogical. Baghaei reaffirmed that Iran will act in line with its national interests and will not permit any negotiations that compromise the rights of the Iranian people.

Revealed: White House’s desperate scramble to get Trump back in Rogan’s good graces
In recent months, President Donald Trump has received growing criticism from podcaster Joe Rogan due to a combination of the former's policies and dissatisfaction with the wider MAGA movement.Nick Hilden (Alternet.org)
"Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, is leading U.S. diplomatic efforts with Iran while engaged in a lucrative, ongoing, multi-billion-dollar business relationship with the Saudi government. This brazenly corrupt arrangement is being completely ignored by most major media outlets."

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal

I just got a WhatsApp message from my friend in Tehran.
I don't want to speak for her, so I will just pass on her words:
I can't believe I'm alive
We had massive explosions in my neighbourhood
So close
So terrifying
Broke the windows
Shaked the building
I feel numb
The city is not the same
Neither people
Neither life
Then our connection dropped.

#Trump contradicted his #Energy Secy Chris Wright, who warned it may be next year before #gas #prices come down to pre-Iran war levels.
“No, I think he’s wrong on that. Totally wrong,” Trump said to The Hill.
Wright said in an interview on CNN Sunday that the #US might not see gas prices fall below $3/gallon until 2027, even with the potential opening of the #StraitOfHormuz.
Trump claimed the prices will fall “as soon as this ends,” referring to the #war with #Iran.

#Trump said the #US forcibly seized an #Iran flagged cargo ship near the #StraitOfHormuz that tried to pass the naval #blockade
Trump posted on social media that the ship was warned by a US #Navy guided missile destroyer in the Gulf of Oman to stop.
“Our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room,” Trump wrote.
He said US #Marines had custody of the cargo ship, named #Touska, & were “seeing what’s on board!”

I've already heard at least one T**** official call The Persian Gulf: "The Gulf of #Iran" (oops or just stupid?)
(Iran was of course once called "Persia", so he's not wrong.)
I guess if #DonnieDumbass can rename "The Gulf of Mexico", Iran can rename The Persian Gulf. 🙄

“And, just like that, President Donald J. Trump’s triumphant boasting that the Strait of Hormuz had been permanently reopened has unraveled in less than 24 hours. …
Once again, Trump’s announcement of the opening of the strait seemed timed to give the markets a bounce before the weekend."

"Muslims are not neutral subjects in the global order, and Islam is already positioned as suspect within it. The conversation about hijab does not happen in a vacuum. Take authoritarianism in Iran, for example.
Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"

"As much as most Americans may see the Iran war as a deadly dangerous & costly fiasco driven by a reckless madman, don’t doubt that Vance knows who stands to gain from it. Several days ago, The Guardian documented the windfall this war is providing to the top 100 oil and gas companies, which are making more than $30 million per hour and could pocket an estimated $234 billion in extra profits this year."

Macron and Starmer welcome Hormuz reopening and push for permanent navigation security
PARIS (AP) — The leaders of France and the U.K. on Friday welcomed the announcement by Iran and the U.S. that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but said freedom of navigation must be permanently restored to the key oil route choked by the U.S.Associated Press - By SYLVIE CORBET and JILL LAWLESS
Don’t believe the hype
#Trump and #Iran say the #StraitOfHormuz is now fully open, but #US naval #blockade will stay
It took Trump's people way too long to discover the phrase "nuclear dust" but here we are.
For all these weeks they had to grapple with the contradiction where he totally and completely destroyed Iran's nuclear program, but now the US needs to go spend serious resources because Iran's nuclear program continues.
If only someone had thought of "nuclear dust" weeks ago they could have squared that circle.

Widespread Public Outrage in America
After photos surfaced showing the nature of the food provided to American troops fighting against Iran, a second image, a dinner served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, was sent to their families by a service member.
American service members reported poor-quality food and small rations during a deployment near Iran.
Due to the prolonged operations and strained supply lines, crews rely on limited resupply at sea, leading to rationing and low morale.

RE: flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/1…
there goes the theory that US military commanders would refuse illegal orders.
the gringo war machine is so huge, they could lose two-thirds and still be the largest in the world ―and with enough sociopaths to willingly do anything for war-mongering.
all because white supremacists couldn't respect a great treaty ―by international law standards― that a Black man negotiated.
getting rid of white supremacist is the new (and should have been the old) bash a fash.
"During the first 48 hours of the U.S. blockade on ships entering and exiting Iranian ports, no vessels have made it past U.S. forces. Additionally, 9 vessels have complied with direction from U.S. forces to turn around and return toward an Iranian port or coastal area.” - US Central Command
