Doron Kadosh - Israel Army Radio:
So far, there is no final and agreed-upon agreement between the United States and Iran, but here is a report published by the Iranian news agency "Mehr" outlining 14 clauses in the draft understandings:
- Permanent and immediate cessation of fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon.
- A US commitment to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran (i.e., not to work to overthrow the regime).
- Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
- A US commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.
- Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days according to arrangements determined by Iran.
- Suspension of sanctions imposed on Iran's sale of oil and petrochemical products.
- Demand for the United States and its allies to submit plans for the reconstruction of Iran worth no less than $300 billion.
- Entering a 60-day negotiation period with the aim of reaching a final agreement addressing nuclear issues, lifting US sanctions, and lifting sanctions resulting from UN Security Council and IAEA resolutions.
- Iran reaffirms its commitment to refrain from producing nuclear weapons.
- During the negotiation period, the United States will not deploy additional forces in the region and will not impose new sanctions.
- Release of $24 billion of frozen Iranian funds during the 60-day negotiation period, with Iran receiving half the amount before the start of negotiations.
- Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to follow up on the implementation of the agreement.
- Adoption of the final agreement through the United Nations Security Council.
- Final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of the frozen Iranian funds, the suspension of oil sanctions on Iran, and the lifting of the naval blockade.
- The final agreement will be limited only to the fate of enriched uranium and uranium enrichment operations, easing sanctions, and plans for rebuilding the Iranian economy.
- Discussions related to Iran's missile program and Iran's support for its allies and proxies in the region will be completely excluded from the agenda.
A series of US airstrikes have killed 175 people in Nigeria. While the US military’s AFRICOM stated that 175 “terrorists” had been eliminated over the course of three days of bombing, locals state that dozens of civilians were killed, and countless more injured. Hospitals in Borno state were overrun with emergency cases.
The Nigerian government has been at war with Islamist rebels since 2009. Nigeria is just one of seven countries the second Trump administration has bombed.
AI machines acting autonomously killed humans for the first time, it was revealed today. A report by Nury Vittachi
Ten AI-powered drones were given full authority to choose human targets and kill them, New Scientist reported in its latest edition.
The operation worked.
The killings took place in Ukraine two years ago, but the information was never before publicly admitted, the journal said.
.
CLEARLY VISIBLE CORPSES
“We just launch it and we know everything will be dead – everything that will be found there in this particular area will be dead,” drone-maker Alexander Kokhanovskyy told the publication.
“There is no connection to the drone at all, you cannot see the video, nothing… Everything it sees will be killed.”
Afterwards, the Ukrainians sent regular drones—fitted with cameras and piloted by humans—into the same area, to see if the AI had killed people. It had. There were clearly visible corpses and a disabled truck.
.
USED ON OTHER OCCASIONS
This has probably happened on other occasions, the journal said.
“Reports in 2023 suggested that Ukrainian attack drones equipped with artificial intelligence were finding and attacking targets without human assistance – but were being deployed against vehicles such as tanks, rather than infantry,” the journal said.
Human casualties may well have been in the destroyed vehicles, but they wouldn’t have been visible.
Why are the Ukrainians revealing this horrific fact so casually? With the massive demonization of Russia in the western mainstream media, they likely think that no one will care, since the victims were Russian.
It’s worth noting that Ukrainian drone makers are working closely with the US and UK armed forces and doing shared tests in the area. And that warfare in both Ukraine and Iran are being used as training material for a US attack on China—more on that below.

WHO’S IN FAVOR OF KILLER ROBOTS?
But seriously, we have to ask: are autonomous AI flying killer robots, with permission to kill humans of their choosing, a good idea?
Most people don’t think so.
In 2019, China and the majority of other countries of the world met at the UN to discuss a motion saying that killer robots are an obviously horrible idea and should be banned immediately.
Guess who disagreed with the motion?
You can guess the answer. Think of the four most ruthless nations.
Correct. The US, the UK, Russia, and Australia disagreed. (Ukraine hadn’t gotten into drones at that time.)
.
LONDON HAS A TASTE FOR THEM
The British leadership definitely likes the idea of robots killing people.
In April last year (2025), the idea was floated in the Times of London, under the genteel headline "Drones may strike targets with no human input, says minister."
The word "drones" sounds nicer than "killer robots" and "strike targets" sounds better than “humans”, right, British government?
.
BUT THE U.S. IS WAY AHEAD
No one doubts that the Pentagon is well advanced into making flying AI robots who can choose which humans to kill.
“The Pentagon has been trying to develop AI-powered autonomous drones for years,” said Katrina Manson, a US author who writes about AI weapons.
The US is developing flying killer robots called Goalkeeper and jet-ski style killer robots called Whiplash. Both are AI powered and have the power and ability to destroy humans of their own choosing, she says.
By putting AI into airborne or waterborne weapons and then giving them permission to kill humans, it means that the US can still keep killing people even when radio contact cannot be maintained.
“The military is also working to put AI directly into its ‘one-way attack drones,’ so they can navigate, locate targets and carry out lethal attacks even when wireless communications have been severed,” Manson said in a recent book.
.
CHINA IS ULTIMATE TARGET
They are being prepared for war on China, Manson says. “Starting in 2022 the Pentagon’s Maven team began collecting enormous amounts of imagery of Chinese vessels in the Pacific, which they used to enable the creation of algorithms that drones operating there could use for targeting.”
The tragedy of all this is that many futurists, including author Isaac Asimov, saw this coming and warned against it.
His “first rule of robotics” states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
He believed that failing to follow this fundamental rule would doom the human race. Many people still agree.
And there are some who will stand up and say so. In February this year, Anthropic, one of the world’s top AI companies, told the US government that it did not want its tech to be used for autonomous weapons that kill humans.
The US Department of War immediately blacklisted Anthropic—and found an alternative partner, OpenAI, the same day.
The USA has for the first time become the world's largest oil exporter due to the wars in Ukraine and Iran, Reuters reports.
Thus, the United States have overturned the order that had prevailed for decades, in which Saudi Arabia and Russia dominated and the US depended on Middle Eastern oil.
After 2010, American oil and gas production from shale formations increased sharply, as a result of which the US first became the world's largest gas producer, and then oil producer.
The US war with Iran disrupted oil exports from Saudi Arabia, and Russian oil exports were affected by attacks from Ukrainian drones and sanctions.
For the third consecutive month, the USA is the world's largest exporter - 10.5 million barrels per day in May. From Russia - 7 million barrels, from Saudi Arabia - 5.9 million barrels.
Iranians restarted operations at damaged laboratories of the Laser and Plasma Research Institute at Tehran's Shahid Beheshti University only days after the U.S. attack.
Despite some destruction, scientific activity resumed with remarkable speed.
🔸 Advanced scientific equipment, optical systems, and critical research infrastructure was damaged. One main building went out of operation.
🔸 For decades, the institute has stood at the forefront of Iran's work in photonics, optics, plasma engineering, laser applications, and advanced imaging technologies.
🔸 The institute developed plasma medicine for diabetic wounds, rare skin diseases, and sophisticated optical brain-imaging systems.
🔸 It became home to Iran's national scientific hubs in photonics and plasma science — both recognized among the country's highest-ranking academic centers.
🔸 Researchers have explored methods for identifying signs of diseases such as diabetes through biological samples, including nails and teeth.
🔸 Instead of reinstalling older systems, the institute intends to replace damaged equipment with more advanced technologies — many of them domestically produced.
New laboratory designs are already being developed to support more advanced scientific work and significantly expand research capacity.
More than 80% of the institute's previous capabilities can ultimately be restored through domestic resources and expertise.

Following repeated violations of the ceasefire conditions by the American enemy, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice.
We warn that no vessel should move from its anchorage in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered as cooperating with the enemy.
