There is a stunning contrast between the access given by the UK to the Israeli Embassy to influence prosecutions of anti-Genocide journalists and protestors, and the repudiation by the UK of United Nations querying such prosecutions. The UK has rebuked the UN for “outside interference”.
I cannot state enough how unusual it is for the UK to give direct access to the Israeli Embassy to the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, in order for the Israeli government to influence the prosecution of UK citizens. This is not about extradition, in which case there may be treaty arrangements for direct contact between prosecutors. It is just not normal nor right for an Embassy to be involved with domestic prosecutions in this way.
This is one of a series of heavily redacted emails seen by the Guardian, Middle East Eye and lawyers for Palestine Action. They show the Israeli government being granted direct influence with UK police and prosecutors, to urge the prosecution of UK citizens protesting in the UK, against a genocide for which Israel stands accused at the International Court of Justice, with her leaders indicted before the International Criminal Court.
There is no British precedent for this situation and it is very much against international practice, although comparators may be found in influencing prosecution decisions in Vichy France or the Eastern European communist bloc by Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union – though there were instances of pushback even there. By contrast the UK system is openly influenced by the Israelis.
There is no reticence from the UK government in forwarding Israel influence. Although all released correspondence has been heavily redacted, it is plain that individual cases have been discussed with the Israelis, including those of Palestine Action.
The United Nations has written to the UK on the subject of its treatment both of pro-Palestinian protestors and journalists and the abuse of anti-terrorism legislation. It is almost certain that some of the same cases the UN cites are those the Israeli Embassy has been involved in. The contrast between the UK’s treatment of the Israelis and of the United Nations could scarcely be different. The Israelis are invited in, while the Starmer regime has repudiated the United Nations.
This is stunning hypocrisy. It is characterised as being in the interest of those being persecuted by the UK and Israel, to prevent “interference from international organisations” such as the United Nations. This is beyond the pen of Orwell or Kafka. You can imagine the authors sniggering as they wrote it.
But the truth is the exact opposite of the UK government line. Unlike the Israeli Embassy, the United Nations really does have a right to interfere. The Special Procedures mechanisms by which the United Nations approached the UK are a well-established part of international law, and the UK is a party to them. These are instituted by the Human Rights Council, and it has always been the position of the UK that all nations are subject to them.
In addition the UK is since 1971 a full party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which is monitored by the Human Rights Committee and to the provisions of which the UN Special Rapporteurs specifically referred in querying the UK’s actions in this matter.
So the Israel Embassy has no right to interfere, and the United Nations has a direct right to interfere; yet the UK has encouraged the illegitimate while repudiating the legitimate. This is a classic example of the way that Zionism has fundamentally poisoned public institutions in the UK, and also of the profound Zionist capture of New Labour.
Yesterday’s revelation that David Lammy has lied to parliament and the country about suspending trade talks with Israel, while UK “trade envoy” Lord Austin is actually there, should be no surprise.
The hypocrisy does not even end there. The UK has been the most vociferous of countries in weaponising the UN Special Procedures against its own designated enemies, such as Russia and China. For the UK now to repudiate these UN investigations as “interference” is precisely to adopt the position of those states it has long argued against.
I have no doubt that this has been duly noted by any dictatorship the UK may seek to criticise in future.
You will recall that I am among a number of journalists about whose detention under the Terrorism Act and the seizure of whose electronic equipment, and thus correspondence, the United Nations interrogate the UK. You can read the UK government reply in full here.
Since the UN wrote, there have been further high-profile arrests of journalists, including Sarah Wilkinson and Asa Winstanley. The basic UK response is that the UN should not interfere, but one point of detail the UK states is particularly worth noting. Detentions and confiscations such as mine under the Terrorism Act specifically do not require the police to have any “reasonable grounds of suspicion”.
What kind of state makes a point of empowering its police to act unreasonably?
But read this further from the UK government reply:
I was detained and my electronics seized under Section 7. That means the UK government is claiming that I was “concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”. Just digest that for a moment.
I might say that nothing in my questioning – which was roughly equally split between the subjects of Wikileaks and Palestine – related in any way to the potential commission of any acts of terrorism. Is the government really pretending that, in travelling home from an Assange campaign meeting in Iceland, they truly suspected I was preparing to commit terrorism? This is ludicrous.
It has often been noticed that despite Sarah Wilkinson, Asa Winstanley, Richard Medhurst, Johanna Ross, John Laughland, Vanessa Beeley, Kit Klarenberg, Ernest Moret, Richard Barnard, Tony Greenstein and Natalie Strecker all being swept up under the Terrorism Act in a campaign against journalists this last two years, there has never been a single mention in UK mainstream media of the UK’s arrest of journalists under the Terrorism Act.
Even following the United Nations intervention to question the UK on the arrest of journalists the UK did not mention it. Even the UK’s tiny number of licensed anti-genocide voices in the mainstream media, such as Owen Jones, have never mentioned it.
Yesterday Asa Winstanley won an important legal victory at the Old Bailey where a senior judge ruled that the police raid on his home and seizure of his equipment was unlawful. That is an important and rare legal victory, and I am tempted to attribute it partly to the turning of the tide of Establishment opinion against sacrificing all principles of law to the interests of Israel.
You may perhaps not be surprised to learn that this victory, too, has not been covered by the mainstream media. This conspiracy of silence over extreme abuse of police power against journalists is deeply troubling.

This akin to the British training WWII Nazi’s in Britain.
“In a revealing written parliamentary answer dated 11 June 2025, the Ministry of Defence confirmed that British forces are currently training personnel from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on UK soil. The response, delivered by Labour MP Luke Pollard, stated this is part of “routine Defence engagement with Israel”.
The disclosure follows a parliamentary question tabled by Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who asked when a member of the IDF was last trained by UK armed forces.
The answer has cast fresh light on Britain’s ongoing military relationship with Israel amid continued conflict in Gaza and military escalation in southern Lebanon.
This revelation comes against a backdrop of deepening UK military and intelligence involvement in the Israel-Gaza conflict since 7 October 2023″
October 2023: Deployment of UK Royal Navy ships, Royal Marines and RAF surveillance aircraft to the Eastern Mediterranean to deter weapons transfers to Hezbollah and bolster regional support for Israel.
December 2023 – Present: Over 500 RAF surveillance flights—via Shadow R1, Poseidon P-8, and Rivet Joint aircraft—have been flown from RAF Akrotiri over Gaza to assist Israeli efforts to locate hostages.
January 2024: A secret visit by Admiral Sir Tony Radakin to Tel Aviv to discuss “future operations” with his Israeli counterpart.
February 2024: The UK admitted that six Israeli military officers were posted in Britain for defence-led training courses.
September 2024: Suspension of 30 arms export licences to Israel, amid fears British weapons may be used in violations of international law—though critical components for the F-35 fighter jet programme remained untouched.
May 2025: UK trade envoy Lord Ian Austin visited Israel, despite the formal suspension of UK-Israel trade”
The Telegraph leads with Trump threatening, there will be “nothing left” of Iran if they refuse a deal. Just ponder the fact the fate of an ancient civilisation, of some 90 million souls, is being threatened with ‘annihilation’ by a president with an IQ in double-digits – someone who thinks using ‘nukes’ could be fun. This is Evil Empire, Death star destoying Alderaan type absurd villainy. To think Trump has Scottish heritage… every Scot should be thoroughly ashamed.
Can barely believe the UK is tied to this atrocious madman. Either Russia(given what Iran has provided) or China, need to step in. Because Netanyahu will be given carte blanche by this US cowboy administration, if/when Iran retaliates. This is what happens when the collective West grants a country(Israel) impunity. And thee IAEA is alleged to have, wittingly or unwittingly, provided Israel’s personnel targeting information. So the NPT inspection arrangements are likely over.
“Can barely believe the UK is tied to this atrocious madman”
What Trump is only threatening to do to Iran has actually been done to Gaza over the past year and a half, with the UK having played a significant role in the Genocide.
Did you not see the facts listed in RoS’s comment? (To which many more could be added).
Look at what has happened to Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq. The USA and its vassals only understand destruction, no place for diplomacy or mutual respect. Stupid is as stupid does.
Thanks for this, @RoS.
This is far beyond letting the Occupation have an embassy in Britain and letting British people go and fight for the terrorist entity without being arrested under the Terrorism Act.
We all know that the Zionists are masters at controlling things in reality (e.g. US Congress) without controlling them officially or owning them legally, but the fact that the British military trains Zionist soldiers makes me wonder how high up the Zionist presence in the British state goes officially.
The head of the CIA’s London station attends weekly meetings of the British Joint Intelligence Committee. Maybe the Zionists operate even higher. (I mean officially. We all know about Starmer and Johnson and May and Blair.)
Meanwhile the British training of Israeli military in Britain is likely
* to include SAS or SBS or other special forces
* to go together with the Israeli training of British military in Britain
And, Israeli military training of the police.
Here I had an exchange with Dr Kevin Barrett a Muslim and Phd.
HL ..I find it difficult to understand why nuclear weapons are forbidden [Haram] when a city underground in Iran full of the most advanced ballistic missiles can kill thousands of civilians if directed against for instance Tel Aviv, and for some reason is legitimate. Another anomaly is how can a Muslim nation like Yemen attack various Israeli ports including Ben Gurion airport and Haifa from 2000 kilometers away, and the well equipped Hezbollah refuse to attack Haifa port a mere 30 miles away or Ben Gurion airport, an attack on both could cause the Israeli economy to disintegrate?
KB..Let me take a few wild guesses to clear things up for you. You say:
I find it difficult to understand why nuclear weapons are forbidden [Haram]…
Because their explosions are so large they inevitably and massively harm civilians and civilian infrastructure?
when a city underground in Iran full of the most advanced ballistic missiles can kill thousands of civilians if directed against for instance Tel Aviv, and for some reason is legitimate.
Because those missiles are intended to be used against military targets, not civilians?
Another anomaly is how can a Muslim nation like Yemen attack various Israeli ports including Ben Gurion airport and Haifa from 2000 kilometers away, and the well equipped Hezbollah refuse to attack Haifa port a mere 30 miles away or Ben Gurion airport, an attack on both could cause the Israeli economy to disintegrate?
Because the damage to civilians from the Yemeni strikes is relatively minor and mostly symbolic/economic, whereas if Hezbollah got into a tit-for-tat game of targeting civilians then huge numbers of civilians on both sides would be killed?
Many Muslims take seriously their religion’s teachings on the ethics of warfare, which is why al-Qaeda’s claim that “the West has killed millions of our civilians, so we have the right to kill thousands of theirs” never got much traction (maximum 20% approval) while ISIS’s head chopping got almost none at all.
HL..Thanks Kevin. Presumably it might be fine to bomb these economic life lines if a warning was given to evacuate in good time. Keeping in mind that under International Law a belligerent reprisal is legal as per my post the other day. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v1_rul_rule145
HL..We now will see if the Israeli BIG stick will produce Israels desired result and draw the US onto their side. Or, as I hope, Israel is finally subjugated by its many enemies surrounding it.
The current spreading of the idea that nuclear weapons are haram is typical psychological warfare.
I first heard this notion yesterday.
It is probably of Israeli origin.
If it comes from an Iranian psywar unit it is hopeless, and they ought to read up about the Mongols.
For the record, strategic nuclear weapons are citybusters. They are weapons for the mass murder of civilians. This is not true of tactical nuclear weapons.
Another instance of psychological warfare is the calling of Yemeni forces “the Houthis”.
“This is not true of tactical nuclear weapons.”
Tactical nukes can range from fractions of kiloton up to 50kt. Hiroshima: 15kt, Nagasaki: 21kt.
Let’s not spread the nonsense that there are ‘acceptable’ nukes.
President Trump has told ABC news early Friday that “there’s more to come” in terms of Israeli military action that the operation was “excellent”. ABC’s Jonathan Karl writes:
I just spoke to President Trump and asked him about the Israeli attack on Iran. Here’s what he told me: “I think it’s been excellent. We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. a lot more.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/over-200-israeli-warplanes-used-against-iran-trump-warns-even-more-brutal-attacks.
The ball certainly is Iran’s court, Trump and Israels officials are cock a hoop at this seeming success, the Iranians knew as everybody else knew that this attack was coming and after the decapitation strikes whiped out the top Hezbollah leadership so inexplicably was the top Iranian leadership killed, no thought that Israel could do the same. Now all the actors in the ‘arc of resistance’ need to step up their resistance and finally do what is neccessary, or be destroyed themselves.
He promised MAGA an end to all wars.
At this rate, he’ll lose his party every race in the midterms, becoming a ‘lame duck’ and then he could even be impeached.
It appears they’ve avoided attacking oil infrastructure(?) This is likely because it’s the West’s Achilles’ heel; that is to say, were Iran to respond – as they’ve previously threatened to -by destroying all oil and gas infrastructure in the ME. Western economies would fail and govts could fall if oil hit $150-200 per barrel for a sustained period of time, with fuel prices tripling and the impact on food prices etc. Iran could destabilise Syria with assassinations. They could leave the NPT – which seems a certainty now, as being a signature is offering no protection, no upside. Trump threatens an horrific response, but public opinion wouldn’t support, as Israel isn’t exactly flavour of the month among western populations if our elites hadn’t noticed.
Balls are also in Putin and Xi’s courts.
As you might expect Simplicius has an interesting take on Israels declaration of war. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/special-bulletin-israel-launches
Hebrew sources: Air force attacks on Iran are divided into three main missions:
The nuclear project
Destruction of missile launch platforms
Elimination of senior regime officials
Israeli news:
Israeli Channel 14 citing an Israeli official: “We have a long and broad offensive plan for the days ahead – complex days lie ahead. The Iranians will respond, if the public is disciplined, there will be few casualties. We are at war.”
Iran may have difficultly responding, if command and control infrastructure has been destroyed, along with senior military personnel. Plus lots of stuff is stored in tunnels underground, tunnels that may have entrances caved -in. Thus, they may not have their most capable military assets deployed. This is incompetence on Iran’s part; as the attacks were widely signposted. Sure, the extent may have shocked them, including the localised drone attacks on AA defences allowing for missile strikes, which looks a lot like what Ukraine did recently in Russia with western help.
Iran has always been far too hubristic about their own capability, while underestimating Israel’s tenacity. After the reckless pagers attack in Lebanon, adversaries underestimate Israel at their peril.
Latest:
Sir Keir Stamer has backed Israeli strikes against Iran and said the UK has “grave concerns” about Tehran’s nuclear programme.
Speaking to Bloomberg after Israel’s attacks, the Prime Minister said: “We’ve long held concerns, grave concerns, about Iran’s nuclear programme, and we absolutely recognise Israel’s right to self defence.”
This, as the UK commissions 12 new nuclear attack subs, and a “sovereign warhead” programme – to end dependence on the US. The hypocrisy of France and the UK knows no bounds.
German Chancellor Merz defended Israel´s right for self-defense.
Huh?
Against what attack?
Not even a material threat as pretext.
Now, again, truth is being altered, international law all of a sudden fiction again.
Oh and very important: all Israeli and Jewish institutions will be under intense protection.
Really?!
The rooms of Jewish Voices for Peace too???
Or do I first have to sign on the genocide to then get a pass to enter the bunker.
Rather watch the Muppets to learn what really happens.
It doesn’t meet the criteria of justifiable self-defense; namely, as laid out in Article 51 of the UN Charter.
From all official assessments, Iran doesn’t even have nuclear weapons, so how can Netanyahu’s talk of an ‘imminent risk’ to Israel’s existence, be taken seriously?
I guess it´s enough if you are not in favour of killing Palestinians. That makes you an enemy of the state.
I have to give it to him, it is a simple concept. Even PhDs get it.
The puppets Starmer and Merz have jumped up with “Israel has the right to defence itself”.
Next, Macron, Von Der Leyen, and of course the US Congress.
Von Der Leyen has done it now, as expected. No flies on her. She has asked Elon Musk to circulate her message saying not only that the Occupation has the “right to defend itself” but also that it has the right to “protect its people”. Presumably by “its people” she means Jews. I doubt any journalist will ask her.
ToI again via FB
‘ LATEST: The directive to take out Iran’s nuclear program was given in November 2024, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement, pledging to give daily video updates when possible.
“The directive came shortly after the assassination of [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah,” he says, adding that it was clear to him that Iran would rush toward the bomb once its proxy axis was shattered by Israel.
Israel, he says, identified tangible steps Iran was taking toward weaponization, beyond just uranium enrichment.
Netanyahu set the date for the end of April 2025, he says. He points to “various reasons” it couldn’t be done then, without going into detail.
One very pressing reason might have been US President Donald Trump’s announcement in April that he would engage in direct talks with Iran over its nuclear program.
Instead, it was set for this morning, he says, without explaining why he chose that day.
He says that after Israeli strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program last year, Tehran embarked on a program to create 300 ballistic missiles a month.
“We decided we couldn’t wait anymore. We are at midnight.”
Netanyahu claims he wanted to strike in 2011-2012, but couldn’t garner enough support. Other security officials at the time have denied this account, though.’
It would appear Trump was fully on board with this sneak attack… Trump says I gave Iran chance after chance but they would not do it, certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen, they are all dead now, and it will only get worse,
https://x.com/RachBlevins/status/1933468473604387123
Trump’s so-called ‘deal’ involved Iran giving up its nuclear ambitions altogether i.e. no enrichment, zero. No country of the size and scientific ambition of Iran could submit to such humiliating terms.
Trump unilaterally abandoned The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) after Netanyahu’s lobbying when last in office ; the JCPOA allowed Iran to enrich uranium, with strict limitations and monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Undr the JCPOA Iran was permitted to enrich uranium to a maximum of 3.67% which is suitable for civilian use.
Trump also wanted Iran to abandon its ballistic missile programme, seen as vital to its defence in the region. A country like Iran, the size of all Western Europe (nearly 4x the size of Iraq) and 90 million citizens could never accept such abject surrender type terms, it’d be the end of the regime if they did.
Reports that an Israeli fighter jet has been shotdown over Iran – there’s a huge search party out to find the pilot – also seeing, (can’t confirm yet), reports – on X and Telegram that Iran has launched a barrage of missiles at Israel.
Re my above comment apparently there’s been multiple missile strikes hitting Tel Aviv and, huge blasts heard near Erbil (Iraq) airport, possibly targeting Mossad bases.
Might Israel’s attack on Iran have been intended by Netanyahu as a diversion tactic from the genocide in Gaza, to keep himself out of jail, following public humiliation and political ruin – for failing to eliminate the Gazan resistance despite doing his worst for well over a year, as the regular reports from the Electronic Intifada by Jon Elmer show?
More likely they will carry out a surprise massive escalation of their war effort against Gaza, either conventionally or with WMD.
It would not surprise me if the Zionists had a hand in the Air India crash too, which if it can be pinned on Pakistan will lead to a major war between that country and India.
Netanyahu could drop dead tomorrow and Israeli strategy would not change.
The Air India crash is still being investigated, but possible causes include premature take-off and bird strikes. Foul play would be a pretty stupid move because of the possible consequences. I’m doubtful about Israel trying to provoke a war between nuclear powers, one of whom (India) is somewhat friendly towards Israel, because they need all the friends they can get.
Hearsay suggests the plane sounded ‘off’ when it landed a couple of hours previous to taking off on this tragic flight. Perhaps the crews changed and didn’t communicate concerns to the ones flying the return journey? It is a 9 hour flight.
Another Boeing, but I’m sure it passed all the quality checks at sign off.
Reports suggest the shot down Israeli pilot (A woman) has been captured by Iranian forces – and Israeli Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv struck by Iranian missile — Channel 13 – Israeli nuclear center in Dimona attacked – the government compound in Kirya, which houses the IDF’s secure command centre, was almost completely destroyed in an Iranian strike – Israel’s air defence systems seem to have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of incoming missiles.
Can only imagine what they’d do to the Israeli drone operators if they catch them. Talk about putting your life on the line.
These tactics : building up drone operating squads within countries pre any military action, are proving very effective. Drones can pack a heavy, powerful explosive and destroying expensive hardware costing billions : jets ; air defence systems and radar, before action proper is militarily, a clever tactic.
What new paranoia will this unleash in the West though, among our already paranoid elites? The MoD already believes a load of rubbish about hybrid threats and online brainwashing.
Cue Starmer referring to the pilot as a “hostage”.
If Kirya has been destroyed, all I can say is 💪
Perhaps Iranian-held Zionist POWs can be offered screenings of footage from Gaza? In any case I hope they are treated well and in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
Now, now, I’m sure he’d express equal concern for any captured Iranian in similar circumstances.
/S
Surely she’s a combatant, not a hostage?
Depends how she’s treated. Iran has claimed to have downed two Israeli jets and captured one (female) pilot. Israel has denied this. As noted a few days ago in previous attacks Israel took care not to have its jets overly Iran.
I’d imagine the US’s and NATO’s concerns are for the wreckage of the plane, much of which seemed intact in the images I’ve seen.
I’m sure Russia and China will be interested in its systems and anti-radar technologies. Quite a trophy haul for the Iranians.
Clearly an F-35 from the top-down view
Looks like they were fake images – damn internet for you.
Some Fottage RoS –
https://x.com/MayadeenEnglish/status/1933608281529893118
Noticed UK Sky News coverage showed no missile hitting Tel Aviv, just an image of the sky and interception attempts as two interceptor Tamir(?) missiles seemed to track each other, allowing the Iranian missile through. The coverage is very pro-Israel, out of step with public opinion. After watching Israel pound defenceless, starving Gaza for 23 months, it’s clear from viewing X that many in the world want to see someone giving Israel a taste of their own medicine.
Al Jazeera, now shunted to a data channel online, showed the missile hit however.
*20 months duh.
Though we all know they’ve been conducting air strikes and ‘targeted’ assassinations – that kill countless bystanders – in Gaza, long before Oct 7, 2023.
The Yoo Kay regime & propaganda apparatus have been supporting Israel’s murderous ramage at every level all along. Including the latest strikes on Iran.
Any contra points and mealy-mouthed statement are obfuscation & arse covering for their wilful complicity in the crimes.
The latest Wingsoverscotland statement.
“Rev. Stuart Campbell says:
13 June, 2025 at 2:21 pm
A NOTE TO READERS:
If you really MUST argue with each other about Gaza, there’s now an article where such matters are on-topic:
link to wingsoverscotland.com
Comments about it elsewhere will continue to be deleted.”
Just gonna float this but is wings a wank?
“is wings a wank?”
The actions of the video games enthusiast reverend speak for themselves.
Answer is “yes”.
Is “Wings over” a reference to the Book of Revelations?
The SNP is taking a harder line on Israel lol.
I was a bit surprised tbh.
Yeah me too.
By silencing the discussion during an ON-GOING genocide, the greatest crime of the 21st Century (so far), he is doing Israel’s dirty work for it.
That is why the John Main hasbara twat on there 24/7 is absolutely delighted, ecstatic, with what he is doing BTL. Because it helps the people committing genocide. They can’t win that argument so silence the argument…
It is one thing not to discuss it yourself, fair enough, but when you start banning the word Palestine and then anyone who says it by typing P@lestine, and then deleting all the comments mentioning the ON-GOING genocide, you’ve lost it. Simple as that.
I’ve long said what is happening in Palestine is a ‘lens’… but I did not expect to see that.
I know this post may seem to ignore the gravity of the current situation but I would argue it underlines it by highlighting the absurd measures the CRAP media resort to.
Of course, it’s the graun.

Katharine Viner, how do you sleep at night publishing that shit?
“The US sent around 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel on Tuesday in a large-scale stock-up of supplies before its attack, and as the Trump administration was saying it was ready to continue engaging Iran in nuclear talks. ”

Trump’s totally inconsistent and doesn’t appear to remember what he’s said from day to day. He’s not as far gone as Biden in his most acute moments of confusion, but Trump’s certainly got some kind of dementia affecting his memory. He seems to take the view of the last person he spoke to. This inconsistency issue is what Elon Musk found so intolerable; he thought they had a covenant and Trump broke it.
What a pathethic man indeed, first he is too weak to enforce a peace in Ukraine by bowing down to the warmongers and now he got his own war in Iran by bowing down to a foreign genocidal power, a power that have no interest whatsoever for the United states. Trump was perhaps on the way to get a deal with Iran and then let Netanyahu walk right over him. It was never about America First, it is still about Israel first.
Tucker turns on Trump: Ex-Fox News host blasts ‘complicit’ president for backing Israel after attacks on Iran
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-trump-israel-iran-attacks-b2769833.html
On another topic, impressed and to be honest joyful (if one should use that word watching a war) that Iran managed to get some strikes even in Tel Aviv.
Iran schooled the 20+ arab states that at the same do nothing – yeah more than open their airspace for Israel and deporting and harassing pro-Palestinian protesters that is.
Egypt, Libya stop activists gathering for March to Gaza, organisers say
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/13/egypt-libya-stop-activists-gathering-for-march-to-gaza-organisers-say
There is however a possibility that Israel cynically let Iran bomb Israel to “justify” an even large bombardment of Iran. Israel might level whole apartments/streets in Teheran and murder Khamenei, there is no telling what this rabid, sick regime is going to do considering the full western backing of this assault.
And yeah just days ago Elon Musk outed that Trump was in the Epstein files with no real rejection by Trump, there are reports that Epstein worked with Mossad, perhaps Trump is getting blackmailed into support Israel or else Mossad will drop some compromising info on Trump? Same happend with Clinton:
Netanyahu said to have offered Lewinsky tapes for Pollard
New critical book on the Clinton family claims that Israel tapped White House phones, blackmailed president with recordings of intern
https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-said-to-have-offered-lewinsky-tapes-for-pollard/
I think it was the AI clause in the The Big Bill that drove Musk over the edge. You have to be furious to tweet what he tweeted on Epstein.
Never thought I’d say it and so soon as well. Trump is way worse than Biden. We will all be lucky to survive his presidency.
I saw Trump making a recent statement and I had to turn him off. His voice is now like a nail down a blackboard, and the conceit of the man, the endless childish braggadocio, it is off the scale. He really is morphing into a monster with every passing day.
I had to check, he took office on Jan 20th meaning this is less than five months later and as of yesterday he has become physically repulsive to me. That is some doing. I can barely look at him and listening to him is a non starter, that fucking voice is doing my head in. And I was one of the people who was really hopeful he would do what he promised… pfft like Musk I am now feeling totally betrayed. I think a lot of people are.
It is sickest joke of all time that he said he hoped to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Personally I don’t think the “MAGA base” is an independent player in anything. They’ve got the tattoos, the “tactical” camo Y-fronts, the voting rights, and the guns, but they haven’t got the brains.
But it’s interesting that Tucker Carlson is saying the US government should let the Occupation regime fight its own wars:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/14/drop-israel-how-military-escalation-with-iran-divides-trumps
Could be interesting if Carlson teams up with Musk 😉
Oh ! I have just seen the Russian UN ambassador deliver a speech at the Security Council ( 13/06/2025) reporting that the UK facilitated the Israeli attack on Iran by allowing the Israeli aircraft to land at their RAF base in Cypress after the attack. If this is correct then this needs to be determined by Parliament and the government held to account. The UK have now allegedly been implicated in two attacks on nuclear facilities in the last three weeks ! If correct, such fanaticism and extremism needs to be challenged as its consequences present a grave risk to the peace and security of the UK and all of its citizens. If the UK is conducting or facilitating preemptive strikes on the nuclear facilities of its adversaries then the adversaries of the UK are likely to conclude that they should preempt the UK’s preemptive strikes by attacking our nuclear facilities. The rationale of preemptive strikes and attacking nuclear facilities is a ladder of escalation with potentially catastrophic consequences and is gravely irresponsible and potentially suicidal.
The poshboy regime has denied the British bases on Cyprus “were in any way involved”:

Russia should publish evidence now.
(Once upon a time, Eisenhower denied that the USA was carrying out high-altitude spy flights over nuclear and industrial facilities deep inside the USSR. He said they’d never do something so outrageous. Then the Soviets produced US pilot Gary Powers. The US line then whipsawed within 24 hours, and Eisenhower said hey we sure as hell conduct overflights and we’ve got a goddamned right to.)
According to the Jewish press, Starmer refused to say whether the Occupation informed him of its planned attack beforehand:

But according to the Times, the Occupation regime didn’t tell its British counterpart of its plans, because it sees Britain as unreliable!

“Not informed”, my craphole!
“On Monday, the [British] government was concerned enough to hold a “war game”, led by Lammy, in which departments played out the possibility of a massive Israeli attack on Iran.”

Netanyahu’s plane landed in Cyprus just before things kicked-off, seems he wasn’t as confident of Mossad’s brilliant insta-success as the UK MSM. Puts me in the mood for little verse.
🎶When Iran made it’s dire threats Bibi shat his pants and fled 🎶
Anyway on that theme how we get some nicknames popularized?
Bugout Bibi, No-Nuts Netanyahu and Operation Cowardly Lion etc.
Israelis have bought up large areas of land in Northern Cyprus, which officially belongs to Turkey and the people who live there are unhappy about being thrown off their land.
Agree that the UK should stay well out of any developing war between Israel and Iran. Israel started this. Let them deal with any consequences. It’s not the UK’s problem.

BREAKING: This morning at 8.51am Keir Starmer sent a UK military Voyager KC3 air-to-air refuelling plane from the UK base on Cyprus
It flew over Lebanon, Israel and Syria before turning off its transponder over Iraq
It was flying in direction of Iran
It’s in the sky now

The Guardian has published an “oh wow, isn’t Mossad amazing” piece, accredited to Jason Burke, “international security correspondent” (and doubtless all-purpose man of mystery):
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/14/drone-op-claims-show-israel-mossad-leaning-in-to-its-legend
One issue with this crap is that Mossad is primarily an intelligence organisation that does a bit of assassination, terrorism, and sabotage. Something as large as operating a “drone base” near Teheran in Iran (if this happened at all) would probably have been done not by Mossad but by special forces within the Occupation’s armed forces – such as the “Sayeret”.
No, Jasey boy, James Bond is not the same as the SAS, you twat.
His article is presumably a combination of a handout from the Occupation regime and a smorgasbord of clips. He even mentions the Lillehammer killing in 1973, and includes as part of his word count the information that “the Mossad” is “an abbreviation of the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations in Hebrew”.
Yeah all those fan-boy articles glorifying brazen acts of war. What if Iran infiltrated the british state like that? Would then Jason Burke hail Iran for it? Nah of course not.
I was on youtube earlier today and browsed what western media said, and It is intestering to read the comments under, like 95% called out the biased media israel-is-a-victim narrative and approved that Iran have all right to defend itself.
TRUE PROMISE 3
Never has a promise been truer. Just imagine: Fearless Iran retaliated by sending almost 150 ballistic missiles toward Israel. And almost 20 of them reached their target, despite the occupier’s air defense, now funded by Trump and Elon.
It’s a good start. According to available data, the Resistance stronghold still has an arsenal for another 5 true promises. Meanwhile, oil prices are skyrocketing, and the Donald starts understanding he’s been fooled again. Old age brings dementia…
Not a good way to get leverage against Russia or China…
Tehran is today what Beirut was 6 months ago. The place to be for someone to report on current events…
