This just in: US sanctions preventing Iran from shipping oil to China have been lifted. (Although what gives the US any right to sanction is ridiculous!)

Trump got his "win" (& a Nobel nomination). Iran is out of the crosshairs for the moment. Israel is further down the crapper.

⚡️🇮🇷Looks like Iran's secret quid-pro-quo is out of the bag. Lifting of sanctions for allowing US to carry out a fake strike to give Trump a much-needed "victory" for domestic audiences.

"In a CNBC interview, Trump’s personal envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed that the Trump administration lifted some of the sanctions on Iran on June 24, 2025, enabling the Iranian regime to ship oil to China.

"Iran rejected Russia’s proposal for a military treaty."

I read in a good source a few days ago that back in 2017, Syria's S-300s(?) started identifying Israeli attacking planes as "friendly." Iran was able to get into the system & correct the "malfunction."

The thing is, only Russia had the codes for those systems. Iran asked Russia if they had given the codes to Israel. They never received an answer.

Iran has good reason to not let Russia, a clear ally of Israel, get too close.

They are quietly getting help from China. I'm sure NoKo would happily sell them stuff as well. I read that NoKo significantly increased some production after the attack on Iran.

Also, an Iranian colonel who died several years ago turned up at a celebration the other day. So we don't really know for sure who was killed in the last 2 weeks, & who remains in deep hiding. Any more than we know if Fordow was destroyed or target missed.

Iran is very complicated and simple:Israel(as an European bridgehead)its influence to dominate the middle east(1)dawning of a multi-polar world,in this respect trying to”destroy”a cheaper/shorter new transportation network outside the influence of the”West”and(of course)Iran as such having withstood all agression raised against it since 1979

But I am not writing to You coz of tht,I have many connections in Kenya…..hope You what is currently happening there,the amount of violence against mainly young people……..ongoing corruption no horizons
