My summary of the situation as I understand it is in spoiler tags below.
summary
After many long weeks, Iran and the US have agreed that they’re going to begin negotiations on certain topics in a process lasting at least 60 days. Due to America’s perfidy during previous negotiations, trust has broken down so far that Iran demanded $12 billion of their frozen funds and several other promises, such as the end to the naval blockade, to even return to the table, which seems perfectly reasonable to me. Iran also demanded that negotiations take place in two stages, and that nuclear issues will only be discussed in the second stage, which will be several weeks from now if everything goes as planned.
The terms of the MoU have themselves been a big source of confusion and suspicion, for me and many other pro-Iranian spectators. Getting the wording exactly correct is important, because the US really is like the devil - leave room for any possible interpretation in the contract that favors them more, and they’ll insist that this was the only interpretation up for discussion. Additionally, the US might be historically bad at winning wars, but they’re very, very good at winning peaces: they set up the post-WW2 order to best suit them by playing the European powers off each other; the DPRK might have survived the Korean War politically intact but existed for nearly the next hundred years as a sanctioned pariah; Vietnam was soon forced to economically engage with the country that had dropped triple of all the bomb tonnage of WW2 on them; and so on. It is no exaggeration when I say that the negotiation phase will be the most dangerous part of this war and it could lead to the most death and destruction without a single missile impacting Iran.
However, there’s one little genocidal colony in the region that could stop this whole process from even beginning, as the US appears to have promised Iran that the Zionists will stop the war against Lebanon (and perhaps Gaza too? I’m a little unclear) and even withdraw entirely from southern Lebanon, including all bases set up since this broader conflict began. Apparently, the US promised this in return for Iran not striking the Zionists in return for their most recent strike on Beirut on June 14th. Now, the issue with this whole situation is that the US greenlit the Zionist strike on Beirut, and they knew that Iran would respond to it because they did in response to an earlier strike. If the US made such major concessions to Iran in return for this response strike not occurring, then why authorize the Beirut strike at all? Why make their position worse? Right now, I can think of two reasons. First is that they attempted to create one final embarrassment for Iran, under the assumption that Iran was so desperate for a deal that they wouldn’t risk responding. Second is that this is all one big ruse or misdirection; the US does not intend to follow through with the MoU and subsequent negotiations anyway, and so the terms they’re “agreeing” to don’t really matter.
With the MoU signing apparently set for June 19th, we’ll know for sure soon.

-
Iran reiterates that it will NEVER PRODUCE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Tehran and Washington agreed to discuss the fate of enriched materials and nuclear issues in a final agreement.
-
Tehran and Washington agree to maintain the status quo until a final agreement is reached. Iran maintains its current nuclear program without Washington imposing sanctions or strengthening its forces.

Washington pledges to RELEASE FROZEN IRANIAN FUNDS and assets. After receiving guarantees for the implementation of a number of agreement provisions, the two countries begin final agreement negotiations.
-
The final agreement between Washington and Tehran is adopted by a binding resolution of the UN Security Council.
This feels historic. The beginning of the end of USA empire. We had a good run but it wasn’t gonna last forever.
I read this and have a little chuckle to myself that Israel thought they could demand Iran give up their ballistic missile program.
The United States pledges to WITHDRAW ITS FORCES from the regoin within 30 days from the date of the final agreement.
tsk tsk tsk mr Mullah, you see, we said we would remove our troops from the regoin, we never said anything about the regionI’m still just a bit worried since this isn’t a final agreement, but Iran certainly is getting a lot out of this. I have a feeling Israel is going to do just about everything to ensure this doesn’t happen though.
I can’t believe this is real, lol. Iran kicked the US in the teeth so hard and is going to get everything it wanted. Incredible.
Time magazine’s person of the year will be the shahed drone.
The Kheibar/Khorramshahr-4 is much more majestic. Love that yellow boi.
Am I missing something or is this a complete surrender by the US? What did iran even concede, just not completely blocking the strait for the time being?
Depending on how further negotiations towards the enriched nuclear materials go, they may get nuclear material shipped out. However, if that is the case it is an admission by the U.S. that they cannot take it by force, (despite the fact they more than likely tried), and an acknowledgement of the fact that Iran does not need a nuclear weapon to maintain it’s strategic position in the Strait.
the epstein files they are gonna start releasing are about to go crazy.
Iran reiterates that it will NEVER PRODUCE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
i guess produce doesn’t mean they can’t get some from somebody else. look at me enriching copium.
Iran already had a fatwa against developing nuclear weapons. They’re signatories of the Non Proliferation Treaty. They signed the JCPOA. They don’t want nuclear weapons and never have, and they have good reasons for not wanting them.
yeah and the guy who made the fatwa probably wouldn’t have been blown up if they had the bomb.
And frankly, they clearly don’t need them.
at what cost? there’s little accounting for israel but the US almost certainly wouldn’t have done all this to a nuclear state.

Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya claim they have the points of US-Iran memorandum of understanding:
— Immediate, permanent end to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon.
— US immediately lifts naval blockade on Iran, no further “interference”.
— US withdraws all forces from the region within a month of a final deal.
— Iran lifts the Hormuz blockage within a month.
— US and “regional partners” commit to an Iran reconstruction plan, funded with at least $300 billion.
— If the final deal is implemented, US removes all current sanctions, including UN/IAEA resolutions.
— Iran commits to never build nuclear weapons; enriched uranium issue to be resolved in the final deal; until then, US allows status quo on Iran’s nuclear program.
— US approves Iranian crude oil exports (including banking, insurance, shipping) and unfreezes all frozen Iranian funds.
US intelligence agencies have de facto admitted that Iran won the war:
US intelligence agencies assess that from now on Iran can block the Strait of Hormuz at will, acquiring a powerful instrument of exerting pressure on the global economy, CNN said, citing sources.
“We have now handed Iran de facto control over the strait - a weapon more powerful than any nuke,” CNN cited a source familiar with the US intelligence assessments. “The war fundamentally altered Tehran’s thinking about leveraging similar tactics in the future.”
More importantly, it will alter how other countries deal with the U.S. going forward. They just need to find their own strategic assets.
It is extremely strange to see elements of the Dune strategy game play out in front of us in real time.
Only a few countries really have the ability to impose these kinds of costs on the US. The strait is kind of a unique opportunity globally. And it’s not just the strait. The US can and will try to use massive air power force so you need to have something that can destroy the global economy if you can withhold it, no ability for it to be easily or practically replaced, and you need to be powerful enough militarily to prevent the US from seizing control and able to withstand their air campaigns. I’m sorry to say the players who can do that are largely the same ones who the US wouldn’t pick on directly anyways such as China, Russia, India, etc. Other countries like African AES, Cuba, Venezuela, do not have the necessary choke point and/or ability to exercise control of it and/or ability to withstand strategic US air campaign AND impose a too high to be acceptable cost for a ground invasion.
It certainly weakens the US image as this great superpower that is undefeatable but they shouldn’t be underestimated. They can still crush Cuba, they can still probably roll over and destroy the AES states in Africa or put them in a hurt, they’ve effectively seized control of Venezuela’s oil for the near future. So there’s a terrible price to potentially pay. I mean Russia is still bogged down in a proxy war initiated by the US and its Euro-vassals 4 years later.
So while great news I don’t see it as broadly applicable. Though it’s an incredible vindication of building missiles and tunneling as forms of warfare.
A new Russian response to Ukrainian drones controlled through Starlink terminals.
The Russian jamming system consists of six trailers, each equipped with two satellite antennas with rotating mechanisms, concealed behind a transparent radio shield. The antenna system can be removed from the trailers and placed on a single platform, or installed directly on the ground.
These antennas have a highly directional effect on the eight 62.5 MHz data channels from Starlink satellites. A single system can jam Starlink signals over an area of approximately 20 square kilometers. According to several Ukrainian sources, the Russian system is indeed operational and is causing them problems, as they are losing the ability to control their drones.
For now, the Russian jamming system is highly visible to electronic warfare systems, which makes it easy to detect and a priority target for the Ukrainians. Such a jamming system requires protection against radio-controlled kamikaze drones or those attacking based on fixed coordinates.
(also someone in the comments mentioned that Iran was able to jam Starlink during the recent US coup attempt, but maybe it’s also a question of mobility and cost of construction? or maybe Iran just has better jamming tech, I don’t know)
(also someone in the comments mentioned that Iran was able to jam Starlink during the recent US coup attempt, but maybe it’s also a question of mobility and cost of construction? or maybe Iran just has better jamming tech, I don’t know)
Iran was presumably able to track the terminals which were fixed in place and then send dudes to go confiscate them. In Russia’s case, the terminals are literally flying through the air.
ohh I see, ok, different situation
Unofficial oil inventory moves for last week, this explains why Trump really needed Hormuz to open, around ~18 MMbbl total weekly inventory draw. Cushing is starting to approach dangerous territory of around ~20 MMbbl inventory where logistics problems can start to appear.
- Crude -8.33 million
- Gasoline +2.479 million
- Distillates -0.461 million
- Cushing -1.523 million
- SPR -8.9 million
Imagine gas shortages during 4th of July weekend.
🚨**PERU UPDATE:**🚨 Fujimori up by abt 40k votes with around 170k still uncounted, still a statistical chance that Sanchez could pull it off but iirc its been ticking in her favor for the past few days
Look at that mandate! She’s definitely going to last an entire presidential term and there certainly won’t be a mass movement to force her from power in, say, 9 months.
Nothing says “Democracy” quite like letting a bunch of far right wing shitheads living in foreign countries decide the outcome of your elections for you.
The same right-wing diaspora that residents of those countries insist you listen to
Are they still counting the diaspora votes?
counting them multiple times from the looks of it
Whose drone I wonder? Iran jist supposedly did a deal. West and Pissreal are upset the Kurds took the weapons supposdly and BTFOd invading Iran.
i mean, it’s probably iran. the deal hasn’t been signed and they’re still shooting drones into the strait, so probably just tossing some the kurds’ way too, in case they got any ideas. i doubt there’s much strategic value to false flagging here

(I would say we need a Sweden cool emoji, but its nice to have an EU catch all since all of the individual Euro nations would take soooo much room on the emoji list lol) newsArticle
Sweden’s parliament has voted to escalate the country’s crackdown on immigrant rights, backing laws that allow authorities to revoke residency permits based on a vague criteria of bad behaviour and obliging most public sector workers to report anyone suspected of being undocumented.
The new legislation comes ahead of parliamentary elections in September, pitting the centre-right government, which currently depends on the support of the far-right Sweden Democrats to govern, against a far right that has said its intent is to create one of Europe’s most hostile environments for non-Europeans. Late on Monday, parliamentarians voted to pass the so-called “good behaviour” law, which would cover pending and future residents but also be applied retroactively to many of the country’s current residents.
“Anyone who doesn’t make the effort to do the right thing shouldn’t be able to count on staying,” Sweden’s minister of migration, Johan Forssell, said in March when he proposed the bill. While the law does not specify the types of behaviour that would be deemed unacceptable, the government has previously mentioned examples such as unpaid debts, failing to pay taxes, criminality, and links to extremist organisations.
The task of reviewing permits would fall to the Swedish migration agency, and any decisions can be appealed against.
The law has been fiercely criticised by opposition politicians and rights groups, who have described the criteria as arbitrary.
“This would lead to the risk of residence permits being denied or revoked based on behaviour that was neither illegal nor punishable for Swedish citizens,” Amnesty International noted recently. The Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said the legislation “undermines the rule of law”. In a statement it added: “The good behaviour law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against them.”
The country’s parliament also voted to narrowly back a contentious, so-called “snitch law” that will require many public sector workers to report anyone they believe is undocumented. Critics of the new law, which passed with 174 votes in favour and 172 against, have long warned that it will negatively impact migrants’ physical and mental health while also significantly increasing the risk of racial profiling.
“It is a cruel, ineffective policy and opens up the Pandora’s box of snitching – a trademark of authoritarian states,” said Jacob Lind, a postdoctoral researcher in international migration at Malmö University, in a statement.
“Today’s vote will have devastating consequences for undocumented migrants who will be further pushed into the margins of society as their access to rights is restricted.” After widespread criticism, teachers, doctors and social workers have been exempted from reporting obligations. Employees of tax authorities and employment and social insurance agencies, however, are among those who would have to notify police when they have reasons to believe they have been in contact with people who do not have residency papers. Louise Bonneau of the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, described it as a “serious setback for human rights” in the country.
“The so-called exemptions for healthcare, schools and social services don’t offer sufficient protection: in practice, information will flow between service providers, agencies, and immigration authorities,” she said, meaning some would probably avoid contact with healthcare professionals altogether. Her view is backed by Swedish researchers who, following interviews with public servants, warned that the law would, in effect, turn public employees into border police. They cited the example of a mother who delivers a child with the help of a midwife; while the midwife is exempt from reporting, they would need to register the baby with tax authorities, who could then report the family to police.
The Swedish government has long defended the measures, arguing that they are needed to ensure that those who are not legally allowed to stay in Sweden can be sent to their home countries. The new reporting requirements have few equivalents across Europe; Finland has long been considering whether to expand such obligations, while in Germany, social welfare offices have for two decades wrestled with reporting requirements.
In 2012, the UK’s Theresa May introduced the “hostile environment” policies that sought to limit access to work, benefits, bank accounts, driving licences and other essential services for those who could not prove they had the legal right to live in Britain.
It later emerged that many who were in the UK legally were unable to prove their status and that the Home Office was frequently misclassifying legal residents as immigration offenders, leading the National Audit Office to conclude in 2018 that hostile environment policies did not provide value for money for taxpayers. On Monday, the European Public Services Union pushed back against the idea that workers would be forced to act as informants, with Jan Willem Goudriaan of the union saying that now was not the time for a “new witch hunt”.
Instead, he called for governments to be reminded that “public services would cease functioning without migrant workers in Sweden and many EU member states.” The new law would fuel a climate of “suspicion, fear and racism,” he added, while also threatening people’s fundamental right to asylum. “It merely legitimises the far-right, who are all too happy to see their wildest dreams of mass surveillance, detention, and deportation come true at the expense of public service ethics.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:
‘From our perspective, there are two sides in this MoU. On one side there is the United States and Israel, and on the other side there is Iran and Hezbollah.
An end to the war in Lebanon is an inseperable part of the complete end of the war in the region. And a complete end to the war includes a withdrawal of all the forces from occupied areas. Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the lands it occupied during this war, it won’t be considered a complete end to the war.
Any military attack by Israel against Lebanon from now on, or the continuation of Israeli occupation inside Lebanon, will definitely be considered a violation of the MoU.’

Iran’s Central Military Command (Khatam al-Anbiya) warns ‘Israel’
Over the past 2 days, after the US president announced the end of the war, the terrorist army of the Zionist regime has violated the ceasefire in southern Lebanon 84 times and continues its crimes and the killing of the oppressed people of Lebanon.
Iran warns: if the child-killing army of the Zionist regime does not end its malicious actions in southern Lebanon, it should await a harsh response from the powerful Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Is there any reason to think the peace will hold
Probably until Market close Friday as in tradition.
I doubt it, but to the extent it doesn’t, it will almost certainly be caused by (and be seen to be caused by) israeli perfidy. the heightening of contradictions between israel & the US in the eyes of the electorate and the general public of the west is valuable in and of itself.
depends on if the US yanks the leash. if war returns, what can the imperialists do differently that will make their goals more achievable than during the first 40 days? It’s a lose lose situation, if trump wants this wrapped up before the midterms, he’s got to do max damage control between now and then, but that will require forcing israel to pull out. so, who knows, is basically what i’m saying
Electorally, yanking Israel’s leash would be an ENORMOUS win for the Republicans that would offset all the disasters they’ve created for themselves at the polls.
It would need to be an almost unilateral, simultaneous breakaway, otherwise AIPAC & friends will just find Republicans who give them what they want and bury the opposition like they did with Thomas Massie. Trump himself took a ton of money from people like Miriam Adelson, defying the donors will have serious repercussions.
I know AIPAC act like any concession is a total defeat, but it’s not like “yanking the chain” here means like, allowing right of return for Palestinians. It just means leaving Lebanon - a place they were not in until ~3 months ago. Especially since it seems Hezbollah has no interest in pursuing this any further if Israel leaves. It’s literally just an ego thing on Israel’s part. I don’t know if the IOF is getting their shit kicked in or not, but at the very least the occupation of parts of southern Lebanon is costly to them.
These people just made hand over fist with the market manipulation over the last few months, losing the Israel lobby money right now could be written off as the cost of doing business. Israel lobby money is but one of the assets in their portfolios
I think it would break the fragile Trump coalition. Evangelicals love Israel, and the republican party needs them.
Where would they defect to? They’re still captured by class interest and abortion so I don’t think it would really be a big hit.
A lot of em already vote D. I have met a few of the vermin here in mexico, and before I was banned from Facebook, and in my experience they are as likely to vote for either party.
You do bring up a good point. It is difficult to imagine them not voting, but it is possible. I just fail to see them not revolting over screwing over Israel. The Christian lobby is the Israel lobby.
Strange times
Israel requested to see the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran but was rejected, according to Israeli Channel 12.
- Middle East Spectator
Israel “claims” they were denied access to the full text of the Iran-US MoU agreement.
PS: This is a lie. They have full access.
So if Iran bombs Israel in retaliation for Lebanon, will Trump restart the war again, or will he just tell Israel “lol that’s crazy, have fun bestie! :)”
they can only sit in the cuck chair and watch
Trump breaking with Israel because they tried to ruin his big special day by pulling him into the situation room instead of being able to watch his UFC fights is incredibly funny.
Only way this gets funnier is if it’s actually true and he pulls American assets out and let’s Iran chin check Israel. Which under any other US president would never happen but Trump is the king of holding petty grudges.
It would only be poetic that the zionist project truly ends because their petty arrogance collides into something even more petty and arrogant.
An unstoppable force and an immovable ego
A memorandum of understanding, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely within the Middle East? May I see it?
no

US feds just announced the indictment and arrest of 15 ICE responders/alleged direct actionists in Minneapolis:
don’t trust Signal for your clandestine comms folks
Was signal mentioned?
Much of the indictment focuses on Direct Action Minnesota’s group chat on Signal, a messaging platform known for being private and secure that was used by many rapid response groups during Operation Metro Surge.
from the article link
Oof. 99% chance there were several feds in that chat
Thats not really an issue with signal at all then, thats a broarser opsec failiur
Why not and is there a better alternative?
Since we don’t know how this chat log was collected, it’s hard to say how the security/privacy model failed. It could just be a failure in maintaining secure use by all participants. I don’t have any special knowledge about the best tools for this, but organizational structure is definitely part of the solution.
I did run across an interesting tool recently that could be useful: https://chitchatter.im/ https://github.com/jeremyckahn/chitchatter
Seems to check off a lot of boxes including self-hosting and memory-only chat logging which ensures ephemerality. The usability would obviously be more involved since it isn’t using ph#s and isn’t an app that’s as accessible to average non-tech folks.
I think having a tier comms structure is likely a good solution. Maybe use Signal for general info and organizing things that are not as sensitive, but only use ephemeral secure chats for higher tier comms between vetted leadership for
kinds of things. I don’t want to wag my finger at these folks trying to organize on the fly, but using mass chats for certain discussions is not recommended.
And if you make big public proclamations to bring guns to the ICE facility, expect to be the priority target for the feds.
said bananas and chips not banana clips yeesh
I don’t think signal is the primary issue here… At least I haven’t seen any evidence of that. its not usually the tool that’s the problem, its the organizational structures around it, the devices its installed on, the way that it’s used, the things it’s used for…
Since we don’t know how the chat was compromised, it may have been as easy as someone not using lockdown mode with a strong passcode. There’s features that may have worked to avoid this log getting out, like disappearing messages, but even that could be archived by an infiltrator. Better org structure can help with that.
An account in a group chat that isnt checking thw thread means diaspearing messages dont dissapear at all
everytime aomeone is arrested locally and there’s a flurry of messages kicking them out of the most inane spaces, it clarifies that people dont understand how this shit works at all

another moment for the seppos, mr. musk can easily buyout the rest of the difference.
(incidentally, where are all the serious analysts claiming buying twitter was a mistake)
I’m curious what’s driven the shift back to Republicans the last few months.
Trump manipulated the oil market to keep gas prices somewhat lower than they should be. Combine that with Democrats being structurally unable to come up with an intelligent rhetorical response to the Iran war
Yeah, their entire argument has just been “This is bad because Trump!” No substance, no understanding, no discussion, just
which is already their response to everything in the Trump administration.And as we’ve seen with a few lost libs here, a lot of them act like the wrestling match on the white house lawn is a bigger travesty than the war, so of course people aren’t going to be swayed, they haven’t learned a thing since 2016.
the problems trump caused started months ago. now people can give themselves permission to rationalize the new normal and return to party hackery and party allegiance
paypiggies love paying for gas.
probably stock market, dunno what else is there.
oil and gas capitalists made 10% ROI since February. This war has gone splendidly for the oil and gas piggies. That money trickles down into their support networks, buys back favor.
