U.S. SECRETARY RUBIO WARNED ALLIED COUNTRIES AGAINST ATTENDING KHAMENEI FUNERAL

Reports claim US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a classified June 26 directive instructing US embassies to pressure governments not to attend Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral.

According to a senior Iranian official cited by Tasnim, countries were warned attendance would be considered “an unfriendly act by the United States” with “negative consequences for bilateral relations.”

The report claims Rubio personally called officials in at least five Arab countries and that 13 nations declined to attend due to US pressure.

And the funeral rages on.

Apparently, it lasts for several weeks.

Calls to kill Trump at the funeral of Ali Khamenei: "Whoever killed my Imam, why don't we kill him? This is our disgrace. If we don't kill the murderer, from now on we will wear shrouds instead of ordinary clothes. I swear by your blood, Trump's murder is on our necks, it is our duty. Never give up your revenge"

IRAN SHUTS DOWN US-OMANI MARITIME CORRIDOR



From 30,000 feet, this looks like a feckless little turd walking across the street to tell his neighbor that the neighbor can’t landscape his home in the way that he wants.

Run ships thru Oman waters with US warships by their side. The first attempt on this little armada means that 1000 bridges closest to the Iran coast are on the ground. Second attempt next 1000.

Iran has been transferring their oil, mixed with Iraqi crude to mask the origin of the oil. After kickbacks to several Iraqi politicians, Iran gets their money. Apparently Donald had enough of that and "requested" the Iraqis do something about it and they did.


Oilfield and terminal managers have been stealing it for decades. It's not a large quantity which can leave Iran that way.

I am hoping President Trump was just waiting for 250 Celebration to be over to finish the job.

Let them run their mouths now and now destroy their ability to do anything.

It is time to do what should have been done when our hostages were taken so many years ago under Carter.

Arab countries either step up with us to hell with them.

Quit sitting on the fence and lets all take those bastards out.

Now is the time and no more delays.

Finish what you started Mr President. There is no going back. Take the gloves off and win. Leave no doubt.

At least 14 Yemeni government-aligned troops were killed and 23 wounded after Houthis launched a major assault in the Jabal Dabbas area of Hays district, south of Hodeidah.

The attack reportedly began late Friday with sniper fire, followed by drone and mortar strikes that briefly overran government positions before a dawn counterattack recaptured them.

A Yemeni minister said more than 50 Houthi fighters were also killed.

One officer described it as “the deadliest Houthi attack in years” on the largely frozen front since the 2022 UN-brokered truce, amid recent Houthi threats against Saudi airports and key facilities.

The current problem with these on and off "peace negotiations" is that we don't have much leverage remaining. Iran's military bases and assets are destroyed, but the IRGC just burrows in like rats in their holes waiting for their 72 virgins.

What could leverage be?

Take the Iranian islands that surround the Strait and declare them an international protectorate until real regime change.

Arm the hell out of the Iranian protestors and uprising especially with Ukraine style attack drones.

Finish off their oil production and distribution system.

All of the above.

What else might be done?

According to C14, new intelligence reports indicate that Iran’s Quds Force (part of the IRGC) has reportedly established a unit called Mukhtar. This unit is working with Mexican cartels and elements of the Iranian diaspora to plan assassinations of President Trump and other U.S. officials.

They struck a Qatari LNG Tanker. They attacked the asset of the one country in the Gulf that is friendly to them and is actively working to make sure they don't get obliterated by us.

American officials: Iran launched ballistic missiles at ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The attack came after the United States and Iran agreed to a one-week ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz.

Renewed Iranian attacks threaten to undermine the memorandum of understanding (MOU).

The United States is expected to respond with strikes against Iranian targets.

Did someone try to take out Macron during his visit to Syria?

Eighteen wounded as explosions rock Damascus during Macron’s visit to Syria

quote:

At least 18 people have been wounded after two explosive devices went off in the Syrian capital, Damascus, as French President Emmanuel Macron visits the country.

Syria’s Interior Ministry said four police officers were among those wounded in the blasts, the state news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.

Television footage showed plumes of smoke rising over the city, and other footage shared online and verified by Al Jazeera showed a vehicle on fire.

An Al Jazeera correspondent said that the blasts occurred near the Ministry of Tourism and a hotel where Macron was meant to be staying during a visit to the capital for talks with his Syrian counterpart, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Macron’s office said the president, who was on his way to meet al-Sharaa, did not hear ?the blasts and the visit continued as normal.

The Interior Ministry told SANA that the blasts took place “outside the security zone designated for the French President’s residence, and did not pose any direct threat to the residence or the official visit programme, which is proceeding according to the planned schedule”.
