🇵🇸 Palestine Deep Dive: Israel’s “Final Solution” for Gaza: A ‘New Dubai’ without Palestinians | Ahmed Alnaouq, Matt Kennard

Ahmed Alnaouq and Matt Kennard discuss what's next for besieged Gaza as it comes under the control of Israeli military and US mercenaries.

They delve into the new #US-Israeli #aid programme in Gaza (#GHF), which has seen massacres of starving Palestinians trying to receive food.

This is a way, they say, to displace more Palestinians with the ultimate intention of full ethnic cleansing to a third country.

They also discuss the record of genocidal statements by senior Israeli officials and Benjamin #Netanyahu’s #Gaza 2035 plan to turn the Palestinian territory into a Dubai-style tech hub. 

Israel has long coveted the oil and gas off Gaza’s coast, they add, which includes 1.1 trillion cubic feet of natural #gas and nearly 2 billion barrels of #oil.

IGOR STRELKOV ON ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON IRAN

An attack on Iran has long been expected: I believe that without permission, coordination and direct support from the United States, Israel would not have done anything like this, especially on such a large scale. This is, of course, not a limited action, given the number of casualties among Iran's top military and political leadership. Iran will, of course, respond, and, in my opinion, is already responding.

In general, we have the beginning of a major Middle East war, in which Iran's position is very weak. Why weak? Because Israel has superbly prepared the field for its attack by taking a series of consistent actions. First, they "removed" the Iranian president, who supported #Syria and #Assad. The next Iranian president withdrew troops from Syria, which greatly weakened the position of the Syrian government.

Accordingly, within two weeks Syria was defeated and destroyed: most of it came under Turkish control, and a significant part under Israeli control (the strategically important Dutch Heights). Now Iran has virtually no way to reach Israel by land without entering into direct confrontation with #Turkey. And Turkey has a very strong army, and it will be very difficult for Iran to fight it.

Now Israel, naturally, using its significant superiority in missile and aircraft weapons, is striking Iran, without counting on a serious and truly painful response.

Well, if Iran takes any action, perhaps the US, which stands behind Israel, will get involved and will take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Iran.

What does this threaten us with? For us, this threatens two things. The first and most important thing is the termination of our "southern corridor", since we actively supplied oil and other raw materials to India and other countries through Iran. This was a fairly important route for us. Now we have only China left in the east as a transit route for our products.

Secondly, of course, Iran is now being attacked and, losing more and more industrial facilities, will not be able to supply us with the weapons and ammunition that it supplied before, which will also have an impact on the course of military operations in #Ukraine.

Well, the US position on the Iranian issue has finally taken shape. Donald #Trump did what he does best - he turned the issue of a possible war into a personal ultimatum . He stated that the #US knows the exact location of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he emphasized: they will not eliminate him for now , "at least for now" . That is, it is not excluded - it has simply been postponed.

Then comes the classic pressure construction: Trump says he does not want to involve the American army in the Iranian conflict , but Washington's patience is running out . The final chord is the demand for Iran's unconditional surrender . Not negotiations, not agreements, not a freeze. Capitulation.

This is the usual language of strategic American dialogue in an ultimatum form , presented through a personal political delivery. Formally, this is not a declaration of war, but a signal of readiness for any escalation if Tehran does not roll back and lie down to die.

It is significant that all of this is presented through public statements that are not tied to the mechanics of the Security Council, the Pentagon or the State Department, the UN or other pseudo-organizations that decide anything in this world.

This is political pressure, couched in the style of "I decide". And this is what makes the statement dangerous: it leaves no room for maneuver , only for reaction.

Trump has essentially voiced a doctrine of forcing Iran to capitulate under the threat of targeted elimination of the leadership and a full military operation , but in the guise of extreme "restraint." This has nothing to do with diplomacy. This is preparation for an option where the United States is the arbitrator, judge, and executor. And there should be no illusions on this score.

🇮🇷🇵🇸Middle East in Crisis – 2 | Adevs/IndianPunchline

Last week, the #resistance forces that were supposedly vanquished from the face of the earth regrouped and began firing missiles at Israel — from Syria, of all places! On May 4, #Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv hitting the perimeter of the main terminal of #BenGurionAirport! Reports suggest that Hezbollah has restored its supply routes from Iran.  

What Israel fails to grasp is that resistance movements do not die their raison d’être remains. Israel is, in reality, in very deep crisis fighting on multiple fronts amidst a cascading domestic political crisis and an economy that requires drip feeding by Washington. 

As the US’s capacity to influence events in the Middle East keeps diminishing, Israel’s unviability as a nation propped by the #JewishLobby in the Beltway appears sharper in focus. Already, there is resentment within the #US about bankrolling Israel and fighting its wars.

#Iran #AxisOfResistance

🇮🇷 | What happened?

Trump announced on Truth Social that U.S. forces had carried out a major coordinated airstrike on Iran’s nuclear program, claiming successful hits on three key #nuclear sites: Fordow, #Natanz, and Isfahan. According to him, a “full payload of bombs” was dropped on Fordow, and all aircraft have returned safely, calling it a great victory and saying, “Now is the time for peace.” However, Iranian state media quickly responded, confirming that no enriched uranium was present at the sites during the attack, as it had been removed in advance as part of precautionary radiation safety measures. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) confirmed there is no radiation leakage risk, and core infrastructure remains secure.

Attack Timeline (#Tehran Time):

• Pre-1:00 AM – Israeli drones activated Iranian air defense systems across several regions.
• 1:14 AM – Fighter jets were heard over Shiraz.
• 1:22 AM – Multiple aircraft noises were reported over central Iran.
• 2:04 AM – Two jets and a blast were heard near #Qom, where the Fordow facility is located.
• 2:13 AM – Another explosion near Kashan, close to Fordow.
• 2:38 AM – Loud explosion at Fordow, initially assumed to be drone interception.
• 2:41 AM – Explosion at Isfahan’s Atomic Energy site.
• 2:46 AM – Explosion at #Natanz nuclear facility.
• 2:55 AM – Widespread #GPS jamming observed throughout Iran.

Despite Trump’s claims of destruction, Iranian officials and local media presented a completely different account. The Tasnim News Agency dispatched a reporter to #Fordow immediately after the announcement. According to eyewitnesses:

• No massive explosions were heard.
• The area sounded similar to previous air defense activity, with no significant blast.
• No smoke, no fire, and no structural ruins were visible.
• Roads between Qom, Kashan, and Isfahan remain open with normal traffic flow.
• Provincial authorities confirmed minor damage but no impact on the core nuclear infrastructure.
• No radiation contamination has been recorded in the area.

According to Fox News, the attack utilized 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines 400 miles away, along with six bunker-busting bombs. However, sources now suggest the strike was more of a strategic signaling effort, intended to pressure Iran rather than achieve tactical annihilation. Fordow’s fortified depth and location under a mountain make it one of the world’s most hardened targets.

The strike came on the eve of a scheduled meeting in Geneva between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his French, German, and British counterparts. Iran interprets this as an attempt to coerce Tehran into concessions, especially concerning its missile program and support for resistance movements — both of which Araqchi had explicitly ruled out as non-negotiable.

If Fordow had truly been destroyed, one would expect to see unmistakable signs: massive craters, electromagnetic disruptions, emergency medical airlifts, seismic readings, and infrared fire signatures from under the mountain. Instead, what surfaced was a tweet from an account linked to northern Israel, falsely declaring “Fordow is gone.”

There is no SAR confirmation, no crater clustering, no multispectral flash data, no BDA (Battle Damage Assessment), and no underground combustion signatures. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Fordow was not seriously impacted, and Iran’s nuclear program remains intact.

This may be the most expensive influence operation in bunker-busting history, one that not only failed to destroy its intended targets, but also handed Iran a propaganda victory. In military terms, Washington just escalated with zero strategic gain, while Tehran emerges emboldened, unscathed, and ready to climb the escalation ladder.

Death to America!

🇮🇷Iran’s Parliament officially approves closing the #StraitOfHormuz.

This isn’t just a regional move. It’s a geopolitical earthquake.

The Strait of Hormuz is the jugular vein of global oil flow, nearly 20% of the world’s oil passes through it. Blocking it is like cutting off oxygen to the global economy.

So, what does this mean?

For Iran’s enemies in the war:
This is a direct message to the #US, Israeli entity, and their allies... escalate further, and your fuel tanks run dry. Naval fleets may sail, but they won’t refill.

For global trade:
Expect #oil prices to surge. Shipping lanes rerouted. Insurance premiums to spike. Markets rattled. The world’s biggest choke point just got… choked.

This is economic warfare with precision.
And it's only just begun.

🇮🇷In Iran, on the "wasteland" of the #Natanz site, a second impact was discovered, right in the center of a building covered with a multi-layer concrete/earth slab, which had been poured in 2002-2003, according to historical satellite images.
By adding a final layer of earth on top, the Iranian bureaucrats thought that their adversary would not know where to shoot?

In #Isfahan , since the infrastructure was not underground, cruise missiles were used to destroy the buildings.

The extreme precision of all impacts is noteworthy. The hegemon's competitors have their work cut out for them.

Iran launched further salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation, including one with multiple warheads.
Several warheads penetrated Israeli anti-aircraft fire, landing everywhere as usual. An electrical substation was hit.
Some Iranian projectiles or drones that have been shot down fall back into Jordan, including on cities.
Iran also scored another confirmed aerial victory, this time against an Israeli drone.

In response, Israel has intensively bombarded military bases around Tehran and a large number of military targets, energy infrastructure, telecommunications, police services, and even the gate of a prison where political prisoners are held. The aim is to incite chaos in the country (remember , there is no pro-Western political force likely to seize power).

Late in the afternoon , it was learned that Iran was likely to attack a US airbase in #Qatar, which had been emptied of its aircraft two days earlier . This was a symbolic response to the symbolic #US attacks on sites that had also been evacuated two days in advance (however, Iran must have lost a lot of equipment that had not been evacuated). Qatar closed its airspace in advance to accommodate "possible" Iranian missiles. Pro-Iranian militias are also likely to attack US bases in Iraq in particular.

In the early evening , a few Iranian missiles expected at the al-Udeid air base in Qatar arrived, as if by chance, only 6 in number. Then, projectiles fell on the Ein al Asad air base in Iraq. No Iranian projectile hit the ground. But Iran accompanied this with an extremely warlike statement, explaining that it had pulverized the American headquarters in the Middle East
Of course, this is another pre-arranged strike . The US does not even hide this , sabotaging the arrangement with Tehran intended to give it authority.

Oil prices plummet after Iran's symbolic attack, the drama is apparently over, and threats to the Strait of Hormuz have been canceled. Nevertheless, the war continues.

🇵🇸The Abraham Shield: Israel’s New Blueprint for Regional Control After Gaza | DDgeopolitics

As the latest #Gaza #ceasefire teeters into effect and Trump pushes for #Saudi-Israeli #normalization, Israel’s security establishment has unveiled its next regional blueprint: the Abraham Shield Plan.
Framed as a utopian vision for Middle East stability, the plan is being sold as a solution to #hostages, #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and #Iran all at once. Behind the think-tank language of “stability” and “security,” though, lies a familiar reality: a militarized, #US-backed strategy to consolidate Israeli control across Gaza, southern #Lebanon, #Syria, and the broader region.

Launched by a new Israeli lobbying group called the Coalition for Regional Security, the #AbrahamShield lays out a multi-front containment architecture. It blends old tools—airstrikes, blockades, occupation—with new ones: #technocratic governance models, digital #surveillance, economic isolation, and transactional diplomacy with Arab states

🇱🇧Hezbollah vs. Israel: Why a New War is on the Horizon | Palestine Chronicle

Over the past week, an increase in US and Israeli reconnaissance aircraft has been noted over Lebanese territory. While Washington-based think tanks, the Western corporate media, in addition to Israeli and #US politicians, claim that Hezbollah was defeated late last year, all indications point to the opposite.

Israel’s pager attacks, followed by the assassination of #Hezbollah’s senior leadership back in September, dealt a major blow to the Lebanese group. In addition to this, security sources familiar with the matter informed the Palestine Chronicle that between 15-20 percent of the movement’s weapons were destroyed during the war that ensued.

What happened to Hezbollah late last year would have been thought to be impossible just months prior to it all unfolding. The organization’s middle command took major hits, it was clearly infiltrated in a major way by #Mossad collaborators and agents.

Russia, Israel holding 'high-level' talks on Syria, Iran: Report | The Cradle

A silent partnership between #Russia and Israel regarding #Syria and #Iran has become apparent since Sharaa took power in #Damascus with #US and #UK backing.

In February, Reuters reported on a white paper issued by Israel saying that top Israeli officials were lobbying their US counterparts to ensure that Syria remains “weak and decentralized” by allowing Russia to keep its air and naval bases on the Syrian coast as a counter to Turkish influence.

🇵🇸Daily scenes show the suffering of thousands of Gazans in lines for #US #aid(#GHF)—assistance that has failed to ease hunger and has only deepened the hardship imposed by the #occupation.
