Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon was nothing more than Bibi’s sales pitch to get us into the war. This obvious reality is a punchline in Israel. Time to end our public humiliation. End the war. End our lopsided relationship with Israel.
Israel's Gadi Eisenkot: Netanyahu is a delusional person. He knows that Iran didn't have nuclear weapons.

Major General Rezaei: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan Agree on Regional Security WITHOUT Foreign Interference Following today's Summit, Major General Rezaei, outlined key outcomes: • REGIONAL SECURITY must be built by regional countries themselves, without foreign interference. • ISRAEL must withdraw from Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon and southern Syria. • “If our four countries sit together, many of the region's problems can be resolved.” • “Despite all the American threats, three major countries came to Iran. That alone is VERY SIGNIFICANT.” Major General Rezaei said the summit could mark the beginning of REAL, PRACTICAL cooperation among the four countries.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who boasted of supplying Israel with vast quantities of ammunition as its bombs tore Gaza’s children apart, has fallen from power. Another shameless accomplice in Israel’s genocide belongs in history’s dustbin.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are rushing their top security officials to Tehran for a last-ditch diplomatic push, with Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin set to meet Iranian officials over the Houthi crisis, Iran’s threats and the looming U.S. strike, per Reuters and Iranian state media. The emergency visit follows Iran’s offer to broker peace between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis, potentially opening a path to end the fighting. A Saudi C-130 reportedly carrying the Saudi defense delegation has landed in Tehran, while a Saudi government-linked Airbus A320-214 also touched down at Mehrabad Airport shortly afterward before departing. Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir is also en route to Tehran. The timing is critical: Trump has warned that a U.S. attack on Iran could come “as soon as tomorrow,” while Tehran threatens massive retaliation against energy infrastructure and warns it could cut undersea cables.

How did Lula come from behind to crush Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in 1st round and won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. 2nd round turnout usually below 1st.
