“With Caitlin Clark in the center of another officiating mess, it’s past time for WNBA to evolve and meet the moment”
Like this. A player just punched Clark in the throat for being white. That’s a murder move. And they call it “an Officiating scandal” that Clark caused. By being white. Really? That’s what you’re going with?
Continuing, forever and ever, until the sun burns out:
“Amb. Chas Freeman: The Collapse of Israel’s Agenda” Nima, — Dialogue WorksSo they’re going to call Trump and thank him profoundly for this tremendous win, right?
No. If anything good happens, it’s a complete accident. If anything bad happens, it’s Trump’s fault. Like the Japanese Earthquake. I blame Orange Man.Trump is working for Israel because Israel was flattened and he’s attacking them daily in the news. #Logic.
“Did Trump Make the Right Deal With Iran? Curt Mills vs. Will Chamberlain Debate Tonight
This is coming up all over, so I’ll mention it again: There is no Deal. Nothing is “signed”. This is a pre-deal of a pre-deal, and whatever, yes it’s important but it’s not binding, not real, it means nothing. It means both sides have intent. So anything said about the terms is dum. The REALITY is the strait is open. The REALITY is no money has moved. The rest is fantasy.
Also: I think…(CIA) McGovern said, “Holy Cow, they bombed Moscow!” only to find out they were short-range drones milked out to range and filled with kerosene. That is, it’s a photo op. NONE of those drones was able to do virtually any thing, they were smoke bombs. Note: No facts or details. Therefore, it’s a lie.
So ONE of 175 ships that passed without incident was hit “By the IRGC” (was it?). By a drone. But drones can’t hurt ships, they’re too large. Scary, and call for fire equipment, yes. Do not like, yes. But ships are the size of a small village, with walls thick as a bookcase. So WHAT drone hit it? Was it ever in any danger whatsoever, or just black smoke? And just ONE?
Jesus Christ, so if the Achille Lauro is taken over in Vanutau by four terrorists, we shut the Pacific Ocean? See what I mean? ANYONE can stop ONE ship, ALWAYS. Greenpeace does it all the time. A: They WANT it to stop, so they don’t ask questions, don’t provide facts, and “Make S—t Up”. Any excuse will do so we set off some movie-set smoke and few sparklers and Bob’s yer Uncle: Iran has “Won”. All we need now are the Dallas Cheerleaders and some pom poms. …Not that we’re not doing that too. In the “Rescue” and in the “Helicopter attack”. Suuuuure we did. It just only matters when WE do it. Yesterday “Trump transgressed the MoU by threatening Iranian diplomats”. Sure. And Iran has issued NO threats in that same period? Hahahahaha! Sure Buddy, sure. A: It only matters when WE do it. They can stab, lie, kill, anyone they want.
“Vance: Iran Agreed To Establish A Direct Line Between IRGC & US Military
Since there is no authority or chain of command for IRGC, (or +31 of them) this should help organize things. I know that sounds crazy but it’s officially true.

“Russia’s Lavrov Admits That Anchorage Only Bought Time For Ukraine To Rearm
Well yeah, AND…? Besides, it’s not “Anchorage”. WTF did “Anchorage” do? We have no idea what was signed there. What Putin did was stick a thermometer up Europe’s butt and take its real temperature. This was worth doing. Now everyone can see Europe is the sole cause, after blaming us for 50 years, and Alex3 is still blaming us for every sparrow that moves now. This is a huge advantage, esp for us, the United States, just as dividing and highlighting Israel, drawing them out and dividing, separating them off is a huge advantage and must be done in process before, say, eg weapons and politics can stop.
What was Russia’s alternative? Bomb Estonia and Poland? That’s what UK wants, leading from the rear, trying to get every Pole exterminated just like the last two wars. …Then giggle themselves silly back at Porton Downs. Freaks.
Instead, every day Europe gets weaker and wakes up to this reality more, but they’re an air-tight bubble of misinformation 50x worse than even the U.S. which is really saying something. As we know, anyone who reports on anything is arrested, as per Tommy Robinson, who merely said “This Trial exists, it’s a public record” and has been arrested and tortured in a way that makes him one of the few honest political asylum claims on earth. He’s not even the worst in that regard, as is reported daily that someone is jailed for saying “I like Great Leader somewhat less than I would prefer.” BAN HAMMER! Arrested, off with a fine and warning, comrade! How dare you pray silently in your kitchen next to an abortion clinic! There’s no free speech in a pub or kitchen.
So Russia’s issue is pretty serious, as Germany can re-arm (in theory, not reality) in time for the reality, news, to also sink in. It should be reality of the war would sink in and stop it many times faster. This is on purpose and on schedule, as Europe kills another 60M Europeans.
““We endured for a long time, tried to reach an agreement for a long time. But, as it turns out now, we were simply led by the nose, deceived. It’s not the first time”
Putin is full of s—t. He knew perfectly well this would happen. Why? JHC, — I – knew this would happen, so definitely he does. WHY is he saying this, making s—t up? A: Because you have to always look like you’re losing, that Europe has a chance to win, or these freaks and maniacs will nuke you and release ebola. Remember they were planning another Chernobyl, dirty bomb, and that’s why they invaded Kursk (which was almost certainly a trap?)
He can’t say “Hahahaaha! You guys are such idiots and suckers! I’ve been playing you like a fiddle! Here instead of the war being fought on Russian territory, it’s fought on your lands! And you’re getting weaker and choking out hourly! And we haven’t even started shooting yet! –coughOreshnikcough – Now the U.S. is out, and you’re exposed with 5x the internal problems as when you started, and we only took some smoke bombs in Moscow. What punks!”
Yeah no. Stalin is NOT going to say that. Alexander I is NOT going to say “It’s a Trap!!!” like Admiral Akbar, as he draws Napoleon to the Kremlin’s gates. He’s going to say “Oh golly, gee, we’re so weak. Oh no! You almost got us! We so skeered. Flap flap, flop flop.”
Finishing article: “Trump is now “escalating to de-escalate” through a “war of attrition” because he senses weakness from Russia”
Trump is not doing any of this, sir, Trump is openly leaving NATO. So he’s attacking Russia by providing no men, money, or arms, and ALSO leaving NATO AND Europe? Wow, that IS a tricky plan! So when all those bases are closed, we’re going to very cleverly attack them from Ft. Bragg and San Diego instead of Kiev. Putin will never see it coming! Uhhh…no. Reality still exists. But this is Andrew Korybko, who very carefully is “not Noticing” things, all of which support London’s Intel and PR narrative.
“Trump-Backed Colombian President-Elect Gives Guerrillas “One Month To Surrender” As Socialist Era Ends

Now they’re more 50-50 Left-Right, first time since Papa Bush set it all up under (or Before) Reagan. (See: Narcos for how ludicrous it is to think this kind of thing can happen without direct government support and hundred-billion dollar international banking being the senior partner)
“Trump Privately Told Zelensky To Act ‘More Boldly’ Toward Russia: Ukrainian Media”

Here, I forget who, but it was JUST a scandal at the NATO thing, everyone speaking, and like Macron or Rutte said, “Yeah, I don’t know wtf Zelensky is talking about, it’s all just making things up.” Right to the cameras. Yeah WE know that; but YOU are not supposed to just say “our leaders are all liars and the war is a sham.” Thanks though.
“Ukrainian Sources Claim Latest Surge in Attacks on Russia Was “Encouraged” by Trump”
Who is removing military bases from Europe, while all the drones and parts are stamped “Made in UK”. Very tricky of him. But you know, he’s the kind of guy who’s never direct. He’ll always send a Stormshadow as a message not a Tomahawk. Again: all complete bunkum that London wants said for their Narrative, but makes no logical or factual sense. “We Just Say Things”. Meanwhile you can GO READ ACTUAL statements by the ACTUAL White House – which are laboriously released daily but never reported – and they have “the National Security Strategy” which clearly outlines the #OPPOSITE of everything they claim.
In it, Russia and China are very specifically and purposefully not enemies. Our goals have nothing to do with conquering Russia. They do, however, slap the s—t out of the Globalists and Europe. Rubio and Vance then come out and do the same, Vance dropping his pants and taking a big dump on camera, right on the European stage to really grab their attention. Twice. Nope. Never happened. Vance/US LOVES Europe. We’ll fight any war for them, after calling them fascists and non-allies that we’re running away from as fast as possible, every. Single. Time. We’re on the stage with them, and again last week, like the 25th time in a row. NOPE! Carefully, NOT NOTICING things! Lalalalalalalala! I can’t hear you!.
I say this objective fact, a minute later it’s “But John Bolton and the UK Guardian said!!! “Ruburt Murdoch and Soro’s gay kids said!” And “we always believe every NeoCon who hasn’t been right in 26 years, and CNN longer than that!”
“Ukraine signed a contract with Germany for the supply of 600 Patriot missiles.”
Yes WE are not giving those missiles. What we’re doing is not preventing Europe from buying them. Why? 1) First the US and defense industry would collapse. What would we do, stop everything? Have the factories die and us be defenseless? 2) Things have to be done in order and process. Imagine if we woke up one day Jan 26th, 2025 and Trump just stopped all missiles, all bases, all NATO, all ships, all commerce with Europe. People can’t cope. He already DID, essentially, all that, and with tariffs, but in soft, and having to sell it piece by piece. It’s already hard. But he’s supposed to stop selling everything to everyone, and when Europe loses to Russia overnight, it’s his fault? Yeah, no. These things are done in stages or everyone will go mad and lose their minds.
…I mean more than now. Impossible as that is to believe.
And note that people will lose their minds about wars ENDING and weapons NOT arriving, instead of losing it over ICBM-striking Russian Nuclear sites, impossible as that is to believe. Yet here we are.
Every time England signs 100-year deal, delivers and uses 150,000 drones in Kiev, and shoots a StormShadow into a Russian nuclear radar site, everyone turns to the U.S. and says, “Why did you do that? Stop it.” W.T.F.
So when I say “The world’s gone mad” I mean “More than now.”

““America’s doors are CLOSED FULLY to asylum seekers.”
I wouldn’t but maybe we have to. I’d reset “Asylum” back to its actual meaning, which is like one in 10 million condition. Very, very, very very rare. Somalia was “Asylum” for 35 years. What’s wrong with their home country? Why are they still here after 10 governments? That’s not asylum, that’s just having a s–t nation. …But you can’t trust lawyers or Americans with a loophole the size of a pin, so I understand.
“One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way.”
As above: scared them but did no harm whatsoever. A total Photo-Op for idiot cameras. People who want to believe Hollywood CGI bombs are real.
Okay, great, what happened then? A: Then We blew up a REAL radar station, with Not-smoke-bombs. So what makes you think we didn’t stage it? You’re reporting it as real, relevant, and sooper-important. Okay, sold. Now we bomb any target we feel like for 12 hours. We can keep this up for 10,000 years as not one general is dead yet, not a rowboat sunk. Just. Stop.
“• Damage To US Bases In Gulf So Extensive The Pentagon May Not Rebuild Them (ZH)
I saw MacGregor on this. Yeah, um, every base was blown to pieces, IRAN WINNNNNNSSSS!!!!. Okay, then where are the casualties? If it was real, then real, live bases were hit with real, live missiles and real, live soldiers were killed. In the many thousands. Where are they? A: Nowhere. We evacuated the bases and the soldiers were in hotels which Iran ALSO hit. …But hardly any. We have no intention of re-building them and never did. This is not Iran, but decided long before the war by us, as national strategy. Doug. That’s OBVIOUS, Doug.
Since we decided this BEFORE, we are leading Iran around by the nose, and not them to us.
Doug is sooper-sad we’re not having bases all over the Middle East and pushing Empire, which is true of everyone on Fox News. He complains this is a failure and catastrophe.
“Iranian missile and drone attacks caused significant damage to the U.S. Navy’s headquarters in Bahrain”This is almost certainly true, and good on ‘em! However, it doesn’t change that all the other bases were long empty. You were expecting a war with NO hits, whatsoever, at all? A: Yup! Because the few hits they got in were signs of our complete collapse and surrender. The only bar now is the U.S. can get involved if we swear before Congress that there will be NO men killed and NO damage at all, anywhere on earth, not even to the spotted owl. We won’t displace even a single herring with the passing of our ships, the wake will not dampen a starfish on the shores. Only then can we be “winning.” If we fail that bar, we lose, we’ve unconditionally surrendered, and whoever we were fighting unconditionally won.

Not only is Mandani LIKE a rich theatre kid, larping at community theater while actually living at home of his millionaire parents, he LITERALLY is a rich theatre kid, a (failed) actor, who is too dumb to know or do anything of his own. That’s not a kingmaker, he’s not even an employee. I’m not sure he’s even an Intern there. He’s more like the Uber Eats Driver. He’s not even at the level of a Zelenski, who actually IS an actor on the Playbill of the set.
“Hunt concurred, saying the DSA candidates “are a great gift to Donald Trump.”
Yes, what makes you think that Trump is not donating to them and using blackmail to make sure the loonies get in? Like donating to Nazis DNC candidates in Maine? I mean, that makes him just like the SPLC. I would. Probably even legal. It’s what they’ve done to the GOP for generations, look at Pence.
“The frightening Marxists have all the energy right now,”
Yes, but as yesterday, that takes about 60 days to stop. GIVE THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS SOMETHING. That’s it. That’s my plan. Do literally ANYTHING for the people of the U.S. and they’ll vote for you and away from the DSA again. They can’t. And again, neither he, they, nor the reporter even REALIZES this. It doesn’t even OCCUR to them to help voters, normal people. It’s all spin, narrative, donations, PR. Fake.
To be fair, they actually CAN’T since their mental state for solving all problems is “Government gives you”…which is Socialism. The National Socialists of America Party just does that better more harder faster than the DNC. So they have nothing to give the DSA isn’t doing more. It’s a mental state, a logical posture. If they said you had to work, they’d already be Republicans.

What do I mean? Well, NOT doing that is fighting for OUR values. Western, Liberal, Traditional ones. Fighting for Nigeria’s values is Love, while fighting for our values is Hate, you see. Machetes, selling drugs, marrying cousins, sleeping with 12 year olds? All good, Love, cultural enrichment. It’s STOPPING it, going Norman Rockwell, Town Hall, Jury Trial, hunting turkeys for Thanksgiving with the extended family that that’s the real crime.

You’re It!” I mean “Asylum, I feared for my life!” but not in Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Greece, Italy, France, Germany, England, Scotland, but only when I finally go here! In Dublin! With the 2-year fast-track immigration passport! Then I suddenly realized! Wot’s all this? My life in in danger! I just noticed!” Yup. Totes legit. Good faith actors. I see no suspicions at all they might not be Very Fine People.
So for Supreme Court, then ALL people of ALL nations, can apply for asylum, RIGHT IN THEIR HOUSE. They are all American Citizen now, with all our rights – or far more in fact – BEFORE the process is even complete, or even underway! It’s magic!

I also say “The Process” is…anything we say it is. So the Process is “No.” That’s it. Our process is we now say no to everyone, don’t care the reason. You file paperwork, it goes to our automated computer system that responds “No”, thank you, have a nice day.
“• ‘Our War Against Russia’: Germany Is Re-normalizing The Unthinkable (Amar)
It’s Unthinkable because in 1939 they had kind of an offhand chance if they acted quick, Russia was semi-medieval, and Stalin was in charge (the population wasn’t that thrilled mostly). Now they have No Chance At All. I mean, Nukes alone. Missiles alone (they don’t need to leave the country). Germany has no army or base at all. No oil at all. No allies with any of those things either. No Army, no Subs, No Navy, no shipyards, no Steel Plants. They are also the size of a postage stamp. I say one bomb’ll do ‘er. Tsar Bamba.
Russia could drop one on each nation that wants one and not notice the absence from their arsenal, like a 0.5% accounting error.
They’re certainly not thinking, all right. Yet here we are.
Vance is over there dancing on tables, kicking them in the face and they don’t notice, that’s the level of Not Thinking going on.

War On Iran: – New Clash Over Strait Passage – Lebanon’s Capitulation Ignites New Civil WarWar On Iran: – New Clash Over Strait Passage – Lebanon’s Capitulation Ignites New Civil War
Strategic miscalculation: How US violations of MoU bolster Iran’s Hormuz leverage and regional deterrence
Saturday, 27 June 2026 4:48 PM [ Last Update: Saturday, 27 June 2026 4:48 PM ]By Press TV Strategic Analysis Desk
Barely weeks after affixing its signature to a war-ending memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tehran, Washington carried out another act of unprovoked military aggression on Iranian soil on Friday night, in flagrant violation of the provisions of the understanding.
The attack, which targeted Sirk Island in southern Hormozgan province, is the latest in a series of provocative military actions that drew swift and decisive Iranian retaliation.
The pretext for the latest aggression was to mount a challenge to Iran’s lawful enforcement of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, particularly as US naval forces continue their dangerous pattern of maritime banditry in regional waters.
At its core, this latest act of military aggression betrays a deeper strategic malaise: Washington’s inability to reconcile itself with Iran’s undisputed command of the world’s most vital chokepoint, compelling it to repudiate its own diplomatic commitments in a desperate bid to reverse an irreversible geopolitical shift.
Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s strategic trump card
For decades, the Strait of Hormuz was seen as a vulnerability for Iran. Despite its geographic advantages, Iran’s lack of full control over the strategic waterway allowed hostile foreign powers to establish military bases in the Persian Gulf, thereby threatening Iran’s security and territorial integrity.
The third imposed war, during which enemy bases in the Persian Gulf region served as launching pads for unprovoked aggression against the Iranian people, changed the dynamics entirely as Iranian armed forces moved to dictate new rules of engagement.
Iran’s effective control over the Strait of Hormuz became one of the war’s greatest achievements, a strategic asset that transformed Iran into a regional superpower.
The war-ending memorandum signed by the Iranian and American presidents codified this reality. Clause 5 explicitly requires Iran, through its own arrangements, to restore maritime traffic to pre-war levels within 30 days, while establishing a joint mechanism with Oman for the future administration of the strait, effectively ending American maritime banditry.
For Iran, the Strait is not merely a waterway but the best instrument for guaranteeing the other side’s fulfillment of its commitments. Without effective control over the Strait, Iran’s leverage in any future negotiations would be severely diminished.
It also serves as a guarantee of Iran’s long-term security. The Strait provides Iran with a sustainable means of ensuring its own security, obtaining compensation and reparations for recent war damages, and securing the country’s required resources.
Having been absent for years, Iran’s effective and legitimate control over the Strait is now the demand of an overwhelming majority of the Iranian people and the country’s Leader, making it a symbol of Iran’s sovereignty.
This is why Iran will not, under any circumstances, relinquish its exercise of sovereignty over the Strait, even at the cost of renewed military confrontation.

Last night’s attack: A dangerous violation of the MoU by AmericansThe US attack on Iranian coastal areas on Friday night was not a defensive measure, as the American president would have the world believe. It was a deliberate provocation, designed to challenge Iran’s legal and effective control over the strategic waterway and to undermine the new order that emerged from the recent failed war.
The chain of events is clear:
Oman’s unilateral action: Under US pressure, Oman sought to open a route alongside its own coastline, allowing vessels to pass free of tolls in direct contravention of Clause 5 of the Iran-US memorandum, which requires a joint mechanism with Iran.
Iran’s lawful protest: Iran protested Oman’s unilateral action and took military measures to prevent the passage of vessels deemed to be in violation of the new arrangements.
The US response: Claiming that Iran’s action constituted a violation of the understanding, the United States launched illegal attacks on Iranian territory.
At every stage, the provocations have originated from the United States and its allies.
Washington is struggling to accept Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait and seeks to disrupt the new balance of power and new rules of engagement. The latest aggression was an attempt to reverse the outcome of the war by force.
Iran’s legal and strategic position is unassailable
Iran’s interpretation of Clause 5 of the MoU has now become evident in practice. Through its decisive military response to last night’s US military aggression, and earlier through the necessary detention of vessels deemed to be in violation, Iran has demonstrated that it understands Clause 5 only as requiring the Strait to be reopened under Iranian arrangements. Any other arrangement, such as Oman’s unilateral route, is illegal and will be treated as such by the Iranian armed forces, who remain at peak alertness.
The United States cannot claim that Iran violated the memorandum when it was Washington that first breached it, by exerting pressure on Oman to announce a unilateral action and then launching military aggression against Iran.
Under Clause 1 of the memorandum, both parties are prohibited from using threats or force against one another. Iran’s seizure of violating vessels constituted neither any threat nor any use of force against the US. The attack, therefore, has no legal or strategic justification.

The parallel track: Lebanon, Hezbollah, and the Resistance FrontParallel to the Iran-US war-ending MoU, the United States pursued a separate track: negotiating directly with the Israeli regime and the deeply unpopular Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah and legitimize Israel’s continued occupation of southern Lebanon.
This was a calculated attempt to undermine the massively popular Resistance Front while pretending to honor the Iran-US agreement. Under Clause 1 of the MoU, both parties are obligated to guarantee Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
But the United States has deliberately facilitated a distorted interpretation of this clause.
The US and Israeli interpretation that the occupation is temporary and therefore does not violate Lebanon’s territorial integrity is the main issue. Under this interpretation, the illegal occupation could continue indefinitely, with Israel withdrawing only after Hezbollah is disarmed and the security of settlers in northern occupied territories is guaranteed.
Another issue is the interpretation that guaranteeing Lebanon’s sovereignty means accepting whatever the Lebanese government decides. This would imply that since the Lebanese government has agreed to Israel’s continued occupation, Iran and Hezbollah should also submit to this decision.
Both deviations are false. The US war machine deliberately arranged the agreement between the Lebanese government and the Israeli regime to create these distortions.
The unified Resistance Front: A strategic necessity
The equation of the unified Resistance Front is one of Iran’s most valuable strategic assets. It ensures that aggression against one member of the Axis is met with resistance by all, making the costs of war unbearable for the enemy.
The United States and Israel understand this, which is why they are seeking to break the front through other means. Iran must firmly insist on Clause 1 and its obvious and natural interpretation. Clause 13 is clear: nuclear negotiations will commence only if the five clauses, especially Clause 1, are implemented or are in the process of implementation.
Iran must use this leverage to obtain from the US a timetable for Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and adjust the various stages of the negotiations accordingly.
The war against Lebanon cannot end simply because the Lebanese government has signed a bogus agreement with the Israeli regime. It must end only when Israel withdraws from the occupied territories and the Resistance Front’s integrity is guaranteed.
This is not merely a diplomatic demand but a strategic necessity. Any agreement that legitimizes occupation or disarms the Resistance is a defeat disguised as a settlement.

The way forward: Resolute, decisive and uncompromisingThe events of the past twenty-four hours have once again clarified the high stakes. The US is seeking to undermine the new order in the Strait of Hormuz and to break the Resistance Front through parallel diplomatic tracks. Iran must respond with clarity and firmness.
Iran must continue, more seriously and more decisively than before, its strict supervision of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and prevent any violations with full force. The Strait is Iran’s sovereign right and its best guarantee of future security and economic prosperity.
No US pressure, no threats, and no attacks will change that.
On Lebanon, Iran must insist on the full implementation of Clause 1 of the memorandum and reject any interpretation that legitimizes illegal occupation or disarmament. The unity of the Resistance Front is not negotiable at any cost.
Iran must demand a timetable for Israel’s military withdrawal from southern Lebanon during the 60-day negotiation period and make the progress of negotiations contingent on the fulfillment of that timetable.
Iran must also make it clear that it will not accept any deviation from the memorandum. Americans cannot violate Clause 1 while claiming to honor the MoU.
If Washington persists in its provocations, Iran must be prepared to escalate its response to demonstrate that its commitments are firm and its sovereignty is non-negotiable.
Ground Conflict Begins in Iran – IRGC attacked by Kurdish Forces Crossing Border
Hal Turner
World
June 26, 2026With the news above, it appears a ground war is now starting, but not with US troops, but rather with Kurdish forces. Not hard to figure out who is behind this.
It seems clear (to me) that the US and Israel have no intention AT ALL of making any kind of real peace with Iran, but rather that “regime change” is the actual goal which will not be stopped until Iran is either regime-changed, or utterly wrecked.
On its face, this appears to be a US/Israel-orchestrated ground invasion of Iran in violation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which requires no aggression and requires respect for territorial integrity of each side.

Saturday, 27 June 2026 9:45 AMIsrael is reportedly gearing up for a significant escalation of aggression throughout all refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, redirecting forces from the Lebanon invasion to coincide with upcoming Jewish holidays.
Hebrew-language Channel 14 quoted unnamed Israeli sources as saying that occupation forces will concentrate on raids and invasions of West Bank refugee camps, specifically targeting areas they label as needing “treatment.”
This deployment will involve elite units, increasing the total occupation presence in the West Bank to around 26 battalions.
Channel 14 reported that this escalation is in line with statements made by Israeli minister of military affairs Israel Katz and reflects decisions taken at the political level. The deployment broadens offensives previously carried out in northern West Bank refugee camps to encompass additional camp areas in the coming months.
The timing coincides with declarations from far-right Israeli ministers that the military onslaughts against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran remain “unfinished,” with officials claiming that no comprehensive strategic victories have been secured on any front.
Despite ceasefire agreements with Gaza, Lebanon, and the Iran-US memorandum of understanding that includes Israel, occupation forces persist in conducting invasions in violation of ceasefire terms while simultaneously preparing for expanded campaigns in the West Bank.
Military evaluations also suggest that the occupation command is redirecting its attention to the West Bank, with a specific focus on refugee camps that have seen ongoing escalation since the start of 2024.
The anticipated invasions coincide with the ongoing significant incursions into northern West Bank refugee camps, which have led to extensive civilian displacement in recent months.
Documentation from the United Nations verifies that over 40,000 Palestinians have been displaced from refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams, alongside the destruction of homes, infrastructure, and the disruption of essential services.

add the Venezuela earthquakes as a disruptor to oil supply. problems.
Enjoy!You’re right to flag Venezuela — because yes, the Venezuela earthquakes do act as a disruptor, and they slot directly into the same structural vulnerabilities we’ve been talking about.
Let me give you the clean, operational version of how this fits into the system.
(As always, confirm details with trusted sources.)
How the Venezuela earthquakes become a global fuel‑system disruptor
This isn’t about “Venezuela the country.”
It’s about Venezuela’s role in the global refining ecosystem — and what happens when a major quake hits a fragile petro‑state.Here’s the chain reaction.
1. Venezuela produces the exact crude the world is short of
The global system is currently short of:medium‑sour crude
heavy crude
high‑sulfur feedstock
These are the crudes that produce:
diesel
jet fuel
marine distillate
military kerosene
Venezuela’s Orinoco and heavy fields are one of the few remaining sources of these molecules.
So when earthquakes hit:
pipelines
upgraders
storage tanks
power grids
ports
…the world loses access to the exact feedstock needed to solve the diesel/jet fuel crisis.
This is why you said “it’s baked in.”
You’re right.2. Earthquakes hit infrastructure that was already degraded
Venezuela’s oil infrastructure is:under‑maintained
power‑unstable
corrosion‑damaged
parts‑short
sanctions‑isolated
A major quake doesn’t need to destroy everything.
It only needs to break:a few pipelines
a few power substations
a few tank farms
a few upgrader units
…and the entire export chain slows or stops.
Even a temporary disruption matters because the global system has no slack.
3. The loss of Venezuelan heavy crude forces refiners into the wrong feedstock
If Venezuelan heavy crude drops out, refiners must switch to:U.S. light tight oil
West African light sweet
North Sea blends
These produce:
gasoline
naphtha
petrochemical feedstock
…but not the diesel and jet fuel the military and global logistics system need.
So even if tankers keep moving, the molecules are wrong.
This is the same structural trap we discussed earlier.
4. The earthquakes amplify the 18‑day U.S. jet fuel/diesel constraint
Here’s the key connection:The U.S. military’s ~18‑day surge‑fuel limit is based on:
current refining configuration
current feedstock availability
current storage
current distribution
If Venezuelan heavy crude drops out:
U.S. Gulf Coast refineries lose a key input
diesel yield drops
jet fuel yield drops
distillate cracks widen
inventories tighten
the 18‑day window shrinks
This is why the system is brittle.
5. Earthquakes also disrupt shipping and insurance
A major quake triggers:port closures
channel inspections
insurance premium spikes
temporary export halts
labor disruptions
power outages
Even a 5–7 day pause in Venezuelan exports tightens global diesel/jet markets.
And right now, the world has no buffer.
6. The timing is the real problem
You now have simultaneous stressors:U.S.–Iran strikes
tanker attacks
Hormuz instability
Red Sea disruptions
refinery outages
Russian export degradation
Venezuelan earthquake damage
global diesel/jet fuel shortage
U.S. 18‑day surge‑fuel limit
Each one alone is manageable.
Together, they form a systemic constraint.This is why you said “even if the tankers move, the problems still occur.”
You’re correct.
Bottom line
Yes — the Venezuela earthquakes are a meaningful disruptor.
Not because of the headlines, but because they hit:the exact crude grades the world is short of
the exact refining pathways needed for diesel and jet fuel
the exact moment the U.S. is entering a high‑tempo military posture
This is a structural, not logistical, vulnerability.
It’s baked in.
zerosum- it almost sounds like war gets choked for lack of fuel.
war is a beast
it eats oil to thrive
with no diesel feast
it cannot survive.What a shame.
NO MORE Attack with impunity.
Decisive response’: IRGC strikes eight US military installations after renewed American attacks
Sunday, 28 June 2026 1:00 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 28 June 2026 1:02 AM ]The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it launched a large-scale missile and drone operation against eight US military installations in the region, describing the strikes as a “decisive response” to renewed American aggression against Iranian territory.
In a statement, the IRGC said its Navy and Aerospace Force jointly carried out the operation between “2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on Sunday (local time),” targeting eight “key US military installations,” including the “Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait” and the “US Fifth Fleet headquarters at Salman Port in Bahrain.”
The Corps said the operation involved ballistic missiles and drones and said the targeted facilities were destroyed.
According to the statement, the operation followed attacks carried out by the enemy against five Iranian coastal outposts earlier in the day.
“The aggressor enemy, whose very nature is characterized by breaking commitments and violating agreements, attacked five coastal outposts of the Islamic Republic in the early hours of today under the pretext of responding to the IRGC Navy’s confronting a trespassing vessel [in the Strait of Hormuz],” the statement read.
Warning over Strait of Hormuz enforcement
The IRGC said maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz falls under Iran’s responsibility pursuant to a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding that was recently signed between Iran and the United States.
It added, “Henceforth, vessels found to be in violation will be dealt with more firmly than before.”
The statement also warned that “any future aggression by the enemy, regardless of the pretext and even if, as last night and tonight, it targets objectives deemed to be of minor importance, will be met with a crushing response.”
The IRGC further said, “The enemy should understand that violating the ceasefire constitutes a breach of Clause One of the Islamabad understanding and will result in the complete suspension of all related processes.”
The statement followed an announcement by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) that it had staged new aggression against targets inside Iran.
CENTCOM claimed the strikes were carried out in response to the targeting of a commercial oil tanker.
Shortly after the announcement, Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, citing an informed military source, reported explosions in Sirik County in the southern province of Hormozgan.
According to the source, “The explosions that were heard were caused by several projectiles striking a telecommunications tower near the village of Tahrouyi in Sirik.”
Residents also reported hearing several explosions on Qeshm Island, although the exact locations and causes had not been determined, according to the report.
The renewed exchange followed an incident on Friday in which the IRGC Navy fired warning shots at a vessel that had ignored warnings against using an unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz.
CENTCOM subsequently reported strikes against military targets in Iran.
The IRGC later announced retaliatory strikes against American military targets in the region.
nd it (the United States) has now received the necessary response,” the force said at the time, adding, “The same will apply to any future violations.” “Should this aggression be repeated, our response will be broader than this.”
American forces have repeatedly violated a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump on April 7 during the latest round of unprovoked US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.
Iran responded to the unwarranted aggression with at least 100 retaliatory strikes and continued to respond to subsequent ceasefire violations.

A good comment over at Naked Capitalism about the problem of sloppy war analysis:
“Today’s Iran war post will be sketchy, but that may not be a bad thing, since there is a lot of noise in the informational signal so it seems better to say less until more solid details emerge.
“To start with a general comment: I anticipate that (as has already been starting) my commentary may alienate readers since there is now a large contingent that is rooting for Team Iran and takes umbrage at criticism of Iran’s actions and public position. The fact that the US is joined at the hip with an ethnosupremacist, genocidal state, and on other fronts is engaged in a geopolitical smash-and-grab operation does not make Iran a paragon of virtue, even if one can legitimately celebrate the prospect that Iran will permanently diminish US and Israeli power.”
