‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Terror attack on Moscow Update Three people kiIIed and over twenty injured at the Italian restaurant, Balzi Rossi in Moscow. A female Ukrainian agent tried to enter the private venue but was blocked off by a security guard before the explosion went off, kiIIing both and an attendee. The IED was packed with ball bearings and nails for maximum casualties but the guard, who was the real hero held the woman long enough at the entrance. He saved countless innocent lives. In a different video, you can see the Ukrainian agent's hand torn off. As of yet, there are only speculations but none from the Russian Ministry on what higher ups were at the event. Just no words but condolences to the families of the two innocents.🙏 Russia hit a drone exhibition, a legitimate target and Ukraine responds like ISIS trying to kiIIing customers at a restaurant. The EU will be silent, but consequences for Kiev will be delivered.

—🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump says he has decided to cancel the attack on Iran: ‘The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.’

The 2028 Counter narrative is shaping up nicely, they wont do shit if they got into power, this is how the political elite keep the same cycle betrayal going. Whats astonishing is they are using the same slogans as Trumps team/Neocons came up with to trick Americans the first time.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US DROPPED 900KG BOMB ON RESIDENTIAL HOME IN QESHM, IRAN — KILLING A COUPLE AND THEIR 2-YEAR-OLD SON The New York Times reports — based on analysis of video, photos, and satellite imagery — that a US strike destroyed a home in a densely populated area of Iran's Qeshm Island, killing a married couple and their two-year-old son. Two other children from the family were pulled from the rubble alive and are now in stable condition in hospital. Experts assess the weapon used was a 2,000-pound Mark 84 bomb fitted with a JDAM guidance kit — one of the largest conventional bombs in the US arsenal. The strike left a crater at least nine meters wide, with debris and damaged vehicles found more than 60 meters away. Around 20 families were left homeless. NYT found no evidence of a military target near the destroyed home, nor any reports of military casualties. US Central Command said it is reviewing information on civilian casualties but did not respond on what the actual target was — or why a bomb of that size was used.

🇻🇪 TIME cover story exposes how Washington effectively runs Venezuela through acting president Delcy Rodríguez — a former Chavista loyalist turned Trump/Rubio proxy. TIME's Eric Cortellessa sat down with Rodríguez, who took power after a US Delta Force raid kidnapped Nicolás Maduro from his residence in January and flew him to New York to face drug charges. He's now sitting in a federal jail while Rodríguez — his former vice president — runs the country under what former US ambassador James Story bluntly calls "the Rodrígato": a government that stays in power while carrying out Washington's orders. The arrangement, per the report: Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally oversees Venezuela's oil revenue and public finances through what amounts to a US-controlled escrow account — Washington collects most of Venezuela's oil export proceeds and releases funds back only as Caracas meets conditions set by the State Department. Rodríguez even consults Rubio on domestic appointments, including her Defense Minister. The two are reportedly in near-daily contact by phone and WhatsApp. In exchange, Rodríguez gets to keep her seat, American oil majors (ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Halliburton) get back into Venezuela's energy sector, and Washington gets a foothold it's wanted for decades. Notably, Rodríguez tells TIME elections will happen only "when it is ready," and dodges repeatedly on whether opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado would ever be allowed to run. A textbook case of regime capture dressed up as partnership. 🔴 DDGeopolitics

Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the top U.S. commander in Europe, has warned the Pentagon that he no longer has enough Navy destroyers to keep protecting Israel from Iranian ballistic missile attacks while also meeting U.S. defense needs. The destroyers, which have intercepted missiles targeting Israel, are stretched by operations in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and around Iran, while maintenance issues have further reduced availability.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 —The U.S. and Israel are preparing to launch what could be their most extensive bombing campaign yet against Iran's energy infrastructure, with strikes potentially beginning over the weekend, according to CBS News. ➡️ Officials discussed wrapping up the operation before financial markets open on Monday due to concerns about the potential economic impact on the U.S. and global economies, although no firm timeline has been finalized. ➡️ Israel has been informed of the plans and is coordinating closely with the U.S.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 — New York Post, citing two sources, reports that CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper has drafted a plan for a two-week long large-scale bombing campaign against Iran. It would be a sustained bombing campaign rather than the limited nightly strikes seen in the previous round of conflict, and would be the most significant military operation since the April 8 ceasefire.
