Trump is a joke.  He huffs and puffs about all the bad things he says he can do to Iran and then he waffles on them.  Except for diehard MAGAts, the people with the real Trump Derangement Syndrome, everyone within and outside the US is laughing at him.

Iranian media reveal details of potential Iran-US draft MoU  
 
Iran rejects US pressure on nuclear talks as draft MoU outlines sanctions relief, frozen assets release, and exclusion of missile program discussions  
 
Iran has firmly refused to capitulate to recent American military and diplomatic pressure aimed at forcing changes to its 14-article proposal, Tasnim News Agency reported, citing informed sources.  
 
Despite direct US military actions and leverage applied through Qatari mediation by President Donald Trump, Tehran rejected newly proposed amendments from Washington, according to Tasnim’s sources.   
 
The United States has, in fact, communicated through the Qatari mediator that it is withdrawing its latest amendments as they were no longer necessary.  
 
However, the sources emphasized that the draft text must still undergo formal review and receive final approval from Iran’s relevant governing institutions. Until that process is complete, the sources added, all media speculations regarding a finalized deal remain entirely inaccurate. 
 
According to a separate report from Iran’s Mehr News Agency, the proposed memorandum of understanding with Washington outlines a comprehensive framework in which final-stage negotiations will focus strictly on nuclear and economic issues. Notably, the draft explicitly excludes any discussions regarding Iran’s ballistic missile program.  
 
The draft details a series of mutual commitments. Under the terms, the United States would be required to lift secondary sanctions, withdraw its military forces from areas surrounding Iran, end the naval blockade on Iranian ports, and facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to restore global trade.  
 
Furthermore, the memorandum includes provisions for the total abolition of oil sanctions and the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets held abroad during the negotiation period, provided that half of this amount, i.e., $12 billion, is made available to Iran before the start of negotiations……

Posted by: james | Jun 12 2026 19:53 utc | 46

The peace / surrender terms are mutually exclusive, or existential,  between Israel and Iran. There is no point of compromise.  Trump seems mostly focussed on “preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon”, which is a different negotiating track than Israel’s current position. It seems obvious there is a veto on US negotiating positions, based on Israeli interests – as expressed by Israeli officials, members of Congress, billionaire donors, and belligerent think-tankers.
 
Israel demands from Iran:
seizure of enriched uranium; dismantling of nuclear program; relinquish control of Hormuz Strait; severe limits to ballistic missile production; end to regional proxy support
 
Iran counter-proposals:
retain enriched uranium; retain nuclear program; retain control Hormuz; no  limits to ballistic missile program; no limit to regional proxy support plus Israel must cease attacks on same.
 
Israel will continue to disrupt negotiations until it achieves the war it desires i.e. Iran vs USA.  The Americans will try to postpone any such war, probably by declaring another months-long “freeze” as they did a year ago.  The world economy will steadily crumble, and it will be all blamed on Trump.

“Israelis still venerate those who ran Masada.”
Posted by: S Brennan | Jun 12 2026 19:01 utc | 25
 
Jews today celebrate Ukrainian Nazis and followers of Stepan Bandera as warriors of “New Masada.”
 
Wall Street Journal: “A New Masada Is Born in the Ukraine War”
The Azov Brigade takes its inspiration from a legendary Jewish battle. By Bernard-Henri Lévy
 
“New Masada” is a phrase used by jewish “philosopher” Bernard-Henri Lévy to describe the Ukrainian defense of the Azovstal steel plant during the siege of Mariupol. He likened the besieged Ukrainian soldiers to the ancient Jewish zealots who made a legendary last stand against the Roman Empire.
 
He documented this resistance in his film “Slava Ukraini.” Lévy specifically used the “Masada” parallel to refute attempts to brand the Azov units strictly as neo-Nazis. He argued that their heroic, unifying stance for Ukrainian sovereignty transcended political labels [of Nazis?]. [So kosher of a jew Bernie Levy!]
 
The Azov battalion was funded in May 2014 by a jewish oligarch and felon Kolomojsky (then a president of the jewish community of Ukraine). From its inception, the Azov battalion was under the command of Andriy Biletsky. The Azovites are steeped in neo-Nazi ideology and the Azov battalion uses Nazi symbols such as the SS symbol of Wolfsangel. (from Wikipedia)
 
Andriy Biletsky is a co-founder of the Social-National Assembly that has been promoting neo-Nazi and neo-fascist ideologies. In 2011 he was arrested, accused of robbery and assault then freed in early 2014 after the Euromaidan Revolution [Nuland-Kagan putsch]. Biletsky led multiple operations against Separatist forces in the Donbas region, which resulted in 16,000 thousands of killed civilians of all ages.

Barthe equates the wrestling match with classical drama, with standard characters and good/evil tropes, revenge, fairness and especially betrayal or breaking the “rules,” like a wrestler transgressing while out of the referee’s sight, but in plain view of the entire audience.
 
One such character is “the bastard” who cheats all over the place, does that remind you of anyone? Spoiler alert, it’s the orange man bad himself.

‘just like Jonestown’

I believe Mark Lane may have beeb running that op.

He played primarily a leftist role publicly but in fact emerged from military intel and – after absconding with the money from Jonestown and going to Europ – he then re-emerged as an owner of ‘alt-right freedom’ sites and was Michael Collins Piper’s employer.

Piper’s Final Judgement is brilliant but once he got going with the podcasts he sort of lost something as they all seem to.

So, Mark Lane was ‘on top’ of both Piper and interestingly Chris Bollyn with the latter two eventually having a ‘public’ falling out within the ‘911 truther’ groups (I can’t stand that term).

Bollyn’s work on 9/11 is pretty solid but he had suspicious ties to the Zionist entity himself.

In fact, he had no problem with the wholesasle obliteration of Libya which is an integral part of the Zionist project as outlined by Oded Yinon. The ‘Yinon Plan’ is still very relevant and a fascinating read given what it talks about and outlines and what has and hasn’t ‘come to fruition’ and over what timeframes.

The ‘communist bloc’ that was largely on the side of Palestine and ‘resistance’ is now gone and Russia obviously doesn’t fight in any meaninful way for Palestine and the resistance as compared to the former USSR and that ‘bloc.’

Nor does China.

In fact, both do extensive business with the genocidal entity even if in
China’s case in particular it is a fraction of China’s overall portfolio. It is nevetheless significant for the genocidal entity and some of the main projects are integral to said entity’s structural integrity and survival.

I mean, these countries are conducting military business together almost entirely overtly.

There is no shame.

Well, last month (May 2026) was very good for this guy.

The Department of Justice awarded a $106 million contract to Elliott Broidy, a GOP fundraiser whom Trump pardoned in 2021, according to new reporting by the Guardian.

And also, as mentioned above, Elliott Broidy was given an award at the annual luncheon in Washington D.C. celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month.

Iranian Analysts: “The West Misreads This War” | W./ Ali Alizadeh & Ehsan Safarnejad
Excellent analysis and I strongly recommend listening very carefully to Ali Alizadeh towards the end – there are fractures within Iran, between the citizenry protesting now for more than 100 days in support of the IRCG, and the reformists who want to negotiate with the Satans. Pezehkian, Araghci etc.
The same as with Russia, but the Iranians are not afraid to take to the streets even under the attack. Russians are forbidden to protest obviously.
There was a Natalia Volkova who was very precious to gauge the mood in Russia ( 2 sons and husband sent to the front), who was ignored shamefully here as you people want to keep to your delusions and schedules.
Speaking of schedules and limited hangouts, worse they are now for chasing out on our stupidity:
1) Nima has developed into a fullrange imbecile ( donning hawaian shirts and stupidly smiling to CIA agent who ‘wants to adopt him’. Not worth watching, Larry you are suspicious. Always was. Stinking CIA fat boy.
2)Pepe Escobar  is a paid agent to forward the false hope about multipolar, while being paid by Russia, now China to live a luxurious life in Thailand. Promote a false hope while both Russia and China are collaborating with the evils of the west.
3) False Amarynth has destroyed her site after AHH was let go because he exposed the lies of Rossia and so called multipolar.
Inspite that he maintained her site while she was brain dead in South America after she killed her husband with her stupid cooking and poisoned them both.
4) Martyanov, a fat person who is fully cooperating with the ugliness of the west, because he wants to be there and drink his little scotch
5) Napolitano, always playing Alice in wonderlands while advocating gold schemes and hosting limited hangouts etc
6) Crooks, MI6, hosting spy network  in Beirut, guess he likes an income
Beware, if you have any brains, which I doubt.
4) Blubber of Martyanov, who thinks he is American, basically traitor to RSSR

Remember, remember, the first week of November.
    While Israel may still possess pictures of every Rep and Senator, getting milked, the re-arrangement of chairs can easily end Trump’s Carnival.
   And the U.S. Supreme Court deciding the Limits of Presidential Power – can a President steal for his own and his family’s gain, can pardons be granted without limit and without consequence? Can a President be bribed and/or extorted yet now consequences fall upon the briber and extorter?
   These questions will be inexorably rolling down the track as Humpty Trumpty slips of the Great Wall.
   MacGregor is openly asking the question if the future can charge, convict and severely punish American Politicians on the payroll of Israel and its “American” Agents, when votes are taken that compromise U.S. Security to the point of Treason.

Iran made the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from every inch of Lebanese territory and territorial waters a non-negotiable condition of any agreement. Washington accepted that principle and incorporated Lebanon into the broader framework. 
 
For the first time since the war began, the path to a US-Iran understanding is being tied not only to nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz, but also to the future of the Israeli occupation in Lebanon.

Among the dead was Lebanese civil defense paramedic Ali Talal Najdi, who succumbed to wounds sustained two weeks ago when an Israeli airstrike targeted an emergency rescue center in Srifa while he was carrying out humanitarian duties.

Surprise, surprise: just like the House version of the 2027 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), the Senate’s version — marked up in closed-door committee hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday — also “establishes the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, coordination, and industrial cooperation between the U.S. and Israel.”
 
https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fy2027_ndaa_exsum.pdf
 
It’s just one of those strange “cohencidences” which reliably arise when the US Clowngress extends American largesse to the little nuclear-armed apartheid colony.
 
It’s going to be a tough fight to stop this treason:
 

After key House and Senate committees blessed a plan to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Israeli militaries, critics of the provision say they’re not giving up the battle against it.
 
 
But they face an uphill climb after bipartisan votes in the House and Senate Armed Services committees approved language in their annual defense policy bills that would establish a U.S.-Israel “Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”
 
The provision directs the Secretary of Defense to name an executive agent in charge of “synchronizing cooperative efforts” between the U.S. and Israel for “defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration and industrial cooperation.”
 
 
It was initially known as Section 224 in the HASC version of the National Defense Authorization Act, though it’s since been renumbered as Section 219 in the latest version. The SASC bill text has not been released, but a summary of it posted Thursday refers to the same initiative.

Araghchi says This agreement has enemies, and at the head of them is the Zionist regime. I will provide details about the Zionist regime’s attempts to disrupt the agreement later. If we begin to delve into details now, it will lead to tensions and jeopardize the signing of the agreement.
🇦🇪🇮🇷⚡️— The UAE is ready to unfreeze billions of dollars for Iran amid talks on ending the war, Reuters
 
According to the agency’s sources, the amount in question is at least $10 billion, of which more than $3 billion have already been transferred to Tehran, and the total amount of funds could reach $20 billion.
In exchange, Iran must stop attacks on the UAE and resume economic and intelligence cooperation with Abu Dhabi.
The UAE has transferred $3 billion to Iran and could transfer up to $20 billion more. This likely represents the release of previously frozen funds, but it appears more like a payment for an end to the shelling.
Apparently no such funds have been transferred yet.
❗️Israeli War Minister Katz says Israel will NOT WITHDRAW from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the northern West Bank.
He also says Israel expects Trump to get Iran to give up its long-range missiles and support for its regional allies during negotiations.

Trumps Ground hog day tactic / attack  is not only an attack against Iran.
 
Its also an attack on americans intelligence.
Psychological warfare,  spreading confusion, and swiching peoples interest off, 
 
Normalisation of trumps fictional reality.
 
Weaving a deliberatly tangled web.

Well done (insert appropriate pronoun here). One of the better Allen Ginsberg “Howl” inspired pieces I have read here in the benighted 21st century

Craig Murray: The Joy of Resistance
 
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2026/06/the-joy-of-resistance/
 
“…It has been a very embittering time. The Genocide in Gaza is entering a new phase, and despite the radical shift in international public opinion, those in charge of states – and not only Western states – still show no genuine intention to stop it.
 
The Palestinians have been written off already by those in power over us, erased as a factor. Israel is now repeating the Gaza playbook in South Lebanon. I know the villages and towns they are destroying and in many cases have been a guest of the people there. The killing and destruction of a profound and ancient civilization is heartbreaking.
 
This is all very depressing. The world is dominated by bad people who control advanced mechanisms of power. But there is no fulfillment in resignation, no honour in standing down in a battle against institutionalized evil. The only joy lies in resistance…”

In my opinion Trump’s administration will prolong the negotiations until after the mid-term elections and then resume the war on Iran.

US/IDF kept the bonders on from June 2025 until they neared a negotiation on nukes, then whack Ayatollah in the meeting discussing the “deal”.
 
Most dangerous to talk to US!
