I dont order things that come in boxes. I order boxes that inconveniently have things in the way of where the Mochi goes.

Following Iran’s announcement that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz again after Israel intensified its assault on Lebanon, Trump went on a tirade Sunday in which he threatened to assassinate negotiators and said Iran “won’t have a country” if access to the critical waterway was shut off, while also threatening to “take over” Iran with a full US invasion.

But after Trump’s threats—which
broke the first clause of the memorandum of understanding—Iran’s negotiators filed a complaint with the Pakistani and Qatari mediators and stormed out of the mountain resort where talks were being held, according to several outlets.

While Trump clearly sought to project strength, Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf,
said his team “do not take American threats seriously.”

In previous months, as Trump sought to squeeze concessions from the Iranians, he issued escalatory threats to wipe out their “whole civilization” and “blow up” the whole country. However, he did not act on those threats, even as Iran refused to budge from its negotiating posture.

"Don’t they think that if their threats had worked, they wouldn’t have ended up in today’s desperate situation?" Ghalibaf said.

Ghalibaf said the US had “better be more careful with their statements,” adding that “our armed forces are ready to respond in a different way." He said, “No matter what they say, we are the ones who act.

"This is the first study to show that [the compound] Cu(ATSM) can increase the abundance of P-gp clearance pumps in an Alzheimer's model, by 24.1 percent, effectively linking the repair of the blood-brain barrier to a reduction in toxic proteins and improved cognitive function," Dr. Pyun said.

"By improving the pumps, the brain can finally clear out the trapped waste. Over 56 days, the treatment reduced toxic amyloid-beta by 42 percent and improved spatial learning by nearly 44 percent."

"Cu(ATSM) is a copper compound with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties that has already progressed to clinical testing for conditions like Parkinson's and ALS," Professor Nicolazzo said.

The overwhelming majority of Israelis believe Iran won the war against the US and Israel and view the deal between Washington and Tehran negatively, according to a poll released on 21 June.

The poll, conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Agam Institute between 17 and 20 June, found that 92.1 percent of Israelis believe the Islamic Republic emerged victorious in the war.

This sentiment was even stronger among voters who support the governing coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Among those respondents, 93.1 percent believe Iran won.

Nearly 83 percent of respondents believe the six-week campaign against Iran weakened Israel’s long-term security, while 86 percent have a negative attitude toward the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached by the US and Iran last week to end the war.
