BB—Iran now faces either a possible longer pause it will need to race the US in preparations for the next confrontation, or another immediate disruption of any longer-term peace for the continued pseudo-ceasefire it has agreed to with US where it stays just under the threshold of total war with Iran while managing energy prices based on shipping disruptions and the prospect of wider war.
Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar: IDF Orders Massive Khiam (Lebanon) Withdrawal
byNima Rostami Alkhorshid & Anthony Aguilar 6 minutes readDW—The first point in the agreement—halting military operations on all fronts—is contentious, with Israel vehemently opposing it, interpreting it as limiting its security autonomy. Israel has displayed significant troop movements in southern Lebanon, possibly a tactical redeployment or a phased withdrawal, while Iran and Hezbollah maintain disciplined restraint to avoid escalation. The future of Lebanon and Gaza is pivotal in the negotiations, with implications for the broader “Axis of Resistance.”

Richard Wolff /TRUMP CAVES: The Era of American Dominance is OVER
byRICHARD D. WOLFF & Nima Rostami Alkhorshid 7 minutes readDW—The podcast episode, recorded on June 18, 2026, features an in-depth discussion with Professor Richard Wolff regarding a sudden and significant development in U.S.-Iran relations—a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed digitally by then-President Donald Trump and Iranian President Pzkan. While this MOU marks a historic diplomatic moment, Wolff emphasizes its non-binding and conditional nature, framing it as an initial step rather than a peace treaty or decisive resolution. Key immediate consequences include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and resumption of oil exports in the Gulf, benefiting Iran and neighboring states economically.
However, the document is deeply contingent on political developments, especially concerning Israel’s role in the region. For the MOU to fully function, Israeli troops must withdraw from southern Lebanon, and cross-border attacks must cease—a scenario that Wolff contends only the United States can enforce due to its support for Israel.
Conquering the impossible? How China Built an Impossible Highway on Vertical Cliffs
by BergeracpasbyBergeracpas Approx 19 mins • Watch / readPV—In this documentary, we explore how China achieved one of the most impossible engineering feats in modern history — building a massive highway along near-vertical cliffs. From explosive rock excavation to precision drilling in extreme mountain conditions, this project pushed engineering, machinery, and human skill to the absolute limit. Witness how thousands of workers and advanced construction technology transformed dangerous mountain terrain into a fully functional high-speed highway.
JM—UN-linked data shows a sharp rise in Israeli Killing in the West Bank, with more deaths in the past three years than the previous 17 years. Reports state over 1,244 Palestinians were killed and tens of thousands displaced due to ongoing violence and operations. Humanitarian groups warn the situation is worsening, calling for stronger protection of civilians amid rising instability.
Unless the US can put an end to Israeli killings in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank, there can obviously be no peace in the MIddle East. The US can stop it anytime it wants – by cutting off support for the ZioNazi state, which is just another proxy.
