The Islamic Republic has declared the Islamabad Agreement and MOU officially dead, saying it now has a “clearer mandate” to confront the U.S., Israel, and their allies across the region and beyond.

Coming after President Trump declared the MOU finished, the regime is now openly shifting from diplomacy to confrontation.

This signals that Iran’s leadership no longer sees negotiations as the primary path forward and is instead framing direct escalation as its new strategic course.

The risk of further military action, proxy attacks, and a broader regional conflict has risen significantly.

US President Donald Trump said American forces struck Kharg Island overnight but were ordered to spare its oil infrastructure because the US may "take over" the island.

I think I can safely say, on the behalf of everyone: Screw Pakistan.

Despite regional condemnation of Iran’s clear violations of the U.S.-Iran MOU, Pakistan’s response, true to form, falls short of condemning Iran’s violations, with a release by the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs instead saying “Pakistan expresses its deep concern at the escalation in tensions in the region. A renewed conflict is in no one's interest.”

He also said he won't be traveling back home in AF1. Air Force One will stay in Europe, and it's gonna be sent to 2 or 3 Military bases within EU.

Let the speculations on why AF1 is really staying behind be

I'm just guessing but the jet the Qataris gave him can't have all the equipment that the old AF1 had.

I saw a show once and the electronics and shielding and other upgrades happened at the frame level on those older models.

I'm not sure what was done to the jet from the Qataris or how far into the build process it was decided to turn it into a Presidential jet.

Having his jet at their airport might be a risk...I would think it's heavily guarded but you never know if it could be sabotaged.

Found it:

quote:

To honor our brave men and women of the Military, we are sending the brand new, and truly spectacular, Air Force One to Mildenhall Air Force Base, in the United Kingdom, to give them a chance to tour the Aircraft — Everybody is so excited, and we thought that they should be the first. For old time’s sake, we’ll be taking the former Air Force One, from Turkey to Mildenhall, a short trip that is totally worth doing in order to give our Great Military Heroes a chance to appreciate our beautiful new addition to the Air Force Fleet! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump appeared to deny to reporters that Air Force One is being rerouted due to potential assassination concerns during his press conference in Ankara.

When asked about his earlier comments and whether there were concerns with the President’s plane, Trump said, “Well, I speak about it a lot because, you know, the life of a president is very dangerous.” He continued, “I’m number one, so I don’t know. I can’t tell you that, but I don’t really care, because I’m doing my job, and I’m doing it, I hope, better than anybody’s ever done it.”

When he was pressed further on why he isn’t flying home on the new Air Force One, Trump said, “It’s going to Europe,” noting that the plane will visit multiple bases, “so the soldiers can see it because it’s truly magnificent.”

Here comes Pakistan to save the day...

It's time to ignore these bums and tell the little muzzie triumvirate of Qatar, Pakistan & Turkey to shut up and stay home.

Would be hilarious if he came home in a B2.

B2 leaves US, bombs Iran, stops off and picks up Trump, flies back to US.
