I want to know who this pedo diplomat is that was secretly flown out of the UK by US officials. Is Trump protecting paedophiles again.

Saudi Arabia is facing a potentially prolonged disruption to oil exports to Europe because both routes it has been relying on to bypass Hormuz are now compromised. The East-West pipeline has been attacked, while the Red Sea/Bab el-Mandab is under Houthi threat. The UK may not depend heavily on Saudi crude directly, but oil is a global market. Disrupt Saudi supply and the price shock travels straight to Britain - petrol, diesel, transport, food, inflation and household bills. This is how a war thousands of miles away reaches your wallet.Bushra Shaikh: Do not stop talking about...
Do not stop talking about Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. For far too long, Israel has acted with total impunity. Not anymore. Israel is not above the law. It must be held to account like any other government. The tide is turning. Keep the pressure on.

Despite warnings from Bessent, I don’t think a major Turkish institution is at risk of U.S. sanctions. Not after all the efforts to clear up the Halkbank case & as U.S. - Turkiye relations are improving fast, & Trump needs Erdogan on Iran, Syria, Gaza et al.Pouria Zeraati: Important...
Important/ Despite the IRGC's firings toward ships in the Hormuz [Strait]—the latest of which was fired an hour ago from Sirik—CENTCOM says U.S. forces have rerouted and cleared 101 commercial ships; one more than yesterday's count. The regime is doing everything it can before the elections and on the eve of Khamenei's trip to America to drive up oil prices and convince Trump to return to the agreement. Sensitive days are ahead...
Alex Wickham: EXCLUSIVE...
EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham is considering requests from Saudi Arabia for a range of military support to counter attacks from the Houthis, as the UK fears a “catastrophic” economic hit from a new front in the Iran war. The Saudi asks include operational support for its military to repel the Houthis’ push along the Red Sea coast toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key trade chokepoint, and help to defend against strikes on its oil infrastructure, sources tell Bloomberg. Burnham has agreed to send British military advisers to Saudi Arabia in response to the requests, sources say. It’s unclear whether he’s willing to approve the other asks, which haven’t been disclosed by the UK government. The Foreign Office and MoD declined to answer questions. Burnham is facing one of his first major foreign policy and economic dilemmas since he became PM. Britain is determined not to get drawn into the conflict, not least because it didn’t support Trump’s war on Iran. Yet the crisis poses serious challenges ahead of next month’s budget. Burnham has been advised by his officials that if the Houthis take control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait it will have a “catastrophic” impact on international shipping and provide another hit to the global economy through a further spike in the oil price and inflation, the sources said. The Houthi attacks have sent Brent crude toward $110 a barrel. Gilts extended a drop today as money markets added to bets on Bank of England interest rate rises off the back of inflation fears. Traders now fully price five quarter-point BoE hikes by the end of 2027, an outcome that would badly complicate the PM’s key pledge to reduce the cost-of-living. The Treasury is also worried that the recent escalation is taking place as the OBR prepares its economic and fiscal forecasts for the budget. John Healey had been hoping for a market reprieve during the assessment window. Instead it’s going further in the wrong direction and potentially leaving the chancellor with even more of a fiscal hole. Under Rishi Sunak the UK hit Houthi targets in Yemen to combat disruption in the Red Sea. Under Keir Starmer it deployed Sky Sabre air defences to help Riyadh.Pouria Zeraati: The best decision that "MBS"...
The best decision that "MBS" can make [especially after Turkey and Pakistan reneged on the Mecca agreement], is to move forward with operations in Yemen with Israel's full involvement, and ultimately have it end with Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords. In the Middle East, only the Israelis know how to deal with terrorism and saber-rattling. News: "Israel Hayom" has reported that the Saudi crown prince has requested help from regional countries to counter the Houthis; including an indirect request through CENTCOM to Israel to provide intelligence and other support to Saudi Arabia to prevent the regime's minions from closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait.Pouria Zeraati: The governor of Qeshm...
Important/ The governor of Qeshm announced that today around 5 a.m., a commercial ship in the vicinity of Hengam Island and Shib Deraz beach on Qeshm Island was targeted in an attack. One person was killed and three were injured. CENTCOM has not yet confirmed this news, but two or three hours ago it was announced that the IRGC had attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. It's likely that the U.S. responded immediately [ship against ship].

"All the ingredients for a regional catastrophe are in place but what is missing is the will to treat Sudan’s war as a runaway catastrophe, because every month of delay allows the pipelines to harden, the fault lines to deepen, and the human cost to climb."

🚨 BREAKING: Israel is increasingly alarmed as Syria's new government under Ahmed al-Sharaa moves closer to Türkiye. A stronger Syria backed by Ankara could fundamentally shift the regional balance and Israel is moving to stop it. The Syria–Türkiye alliance is emerging as a major new fault line in the Middle East.
Mark Urban: A perfect storm building...
A perfect storm building for Saudi Arabia - and by inference its allies: - reports Houthi forces have now taken Perim island, key to the Bab el Mandeb maritime chokepoint - the Houthis say Saudi vessels will be interdicted, with major implications for oil trade - Saudi's key east-west oil pipeline reportedly knocked out - its allies in the Mecca pact (Egypt and Turkey) are not stepping in - disagreements with UAE mean support from Gulf Cooperation Council also missingPouria Zeraati: Important...
Important/ The IRGC imagines that with the rise in oil prices, America will return to the agreement; the higher probability is that Trump will return to all-out war 👇🏼 Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy announced that after 'several attacks' on the East-West oil pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions on Thursday, it has temporarily suspended the pipeline's operations as a precautionary measure. Several people were also injured in these attacks. The attack was carried out on the orders of the regime …

Important/ Earthquake-like blow: The Israeli army has officially confirmed that it destroyed the Hezbollah Lebanon terrorist complex in the "Ali al-Taher" heights, and a large number of drones, missiles, rockets, light weapons, and other armaments were also destroyed. The Israeli army says this underground facility extended for more than two kilometers and contained areas for housing forces and command centers as well. This complex was one of the main support centers for Hezbollah's "Badr" unit in this region.
Chris Williamson: The only legitimate "strong and flourishing...
The only legitimate "strong and flourishing relationship with Israel" is to dismantle this illegitimate Zionist colony, prosecute its leaders for crimes against humanity and replace Israel with a de-Zionised unitary state with equal rights for all its citizens. @Ed_Miliband says our quarrel isn't with the Israeli people, but it should be. Only 19% of Jewish israelis think that Israel's military operation in Gaza has gone too far! https://pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war

The US tax inspectors at the IRS have been using AI to spy on the bank accounts of all Americans in breach of their constitution.

Last month @andyburnham said he would continue "to support Ukraine 100%." Does that mean you support Zelenskyy's regime press-ganging people into the military, Andy?Cameron Hudson: "The most dangerous trend...
"The most dangerous trend now is the security vacuum in the Red Sea created by the war on Iran, which has allowed Somali pirates to return in force. As long as the war continues, there is little hope of stopping this burgeoning banditry on the high seas."
Pouria Zeraati: The regime has decided to ramp...
Important/ The regime has decided to ramp up tensions in Yemen to compensate for losing control of the Strait of Hormuz. This won't lead anywhere either because even Lavrov has strongly condemned the attacks on Saudi Arabia. Pakistan and Turkey too. The Houthis carried out one of their largest attacks against Saudi Arabia in recent years last night. Targets included Abha International Airport, Aramco facilities in Abha, King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait, the Aramco oil refinery in Jizan, and Aramco facilities in Najran. Saudi officials confirmed the attacks and said 73 people, including several women and children, were injured. The UAE and Saudi Arabia, with US and Israeli support, have set a major trap for the mullahs and the IRGC :)Pouria Zeraati: An hour ago: The Israeli army...
An hour ago: The Israeli army has pounded Hezbollah positions, including a building serving as the headquarters of Shiite terrorists affiliated with the IRGC in Deir al-Zahrani [southern Lebanon].

Other than the USMC officer dress blues, the US military has a collection of the ugliest military uniforms on the planet.

No dignity left for the Quakeists :)) Important/ The Financial Times reported that the United States, while simultaneously engaged in attacks with the Islamic Republic, conducted a secret four-month mine-clearing operation in the Strait of Hormuz. Most of this operation took place at night; U.S. Navy special forces divers, robotic boats, and underwater systems were searching for mines and neutralizing them. Unmanned vessels equipped with sonar would first locate the mines, and then divers or robotic submarines would detonate them.

.@realDonaldTrump administration is built on lies, Israel’s occupation of Palestine is built on lies - Huckabee is clueless. The evidence of abuse, of genocide of ethnic cleansing of the targeting of children, aid workers and journalists - of mass starvation…..is simply overwhelming. And still people like this seek to deny it. Outrageous. @Ed_Miliband is right to call this out. How on earth is it 'Jew Hating’ to stand up for the Palestinian people, in the face of this US sponsored onslaught.Philip Proudfoot: Argentinians pretending they're not settler...
Argentinians pretending they're not settler-colonialists. American leftists pretending other socialists think everyone has to be a gym bro or they're worthless. Quite enough time spent on the pretending app today.Andrew Bridgen: Update...
Update :- In a further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East - Iran's IRGC says it has struck 6 ships in the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US sinking of an Iranian oil tanker.Read more
