I want to add to this that on Wednesday, US officials told Barak Ravid that the US is preparing to attack Iran for multiple weeks.

https://nitter.net/BarakRavid/status/2075215197225013406#m

A U.S. official said the current escalation could last a day or two, a week or a month, depending on whether Iran continues attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz

The White House is preparing for what could become a multi-day or even multi-week exchange of fire with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

The length and severity of the new campaign hinge entirely on Tehran's next moves, U.S. officials tell Axios.

A U.S. official said the current escalation could last a day or two, a week or a month, depending on whether Iran continues its attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

"We're going to slap them a bit so they understand we're not f*cking around," the U.S. official said.

U.S. officials say the White House believes it has more room to escalate because hundreds of oil tankers have managed to leave the Gulf through the strait in recent weeks.

That has eased concerns inside the administration that a renewed clash would immediately trigger a major oil price spike, the officials said.

A U.S. official claimed the current escalation stems from frustration among more radical elements inside Iran's fractured leadership who believe the MOU has not delivered real benefits for Tehran.

Iran saw its leverage in Hormuz slipping as hundreds of ships transited through the southern route close to the Omani coast, the official said.

No Iranian frozen funds have been released because Iran has not yet taken nuclear steps required by the agreement.

The framework agreement the U.S. brokered between Israel and Lebanon made the Lebanon portion of the MOU unnecessary, the official said.

"Part of the Iranian leadership was not happy about all of those things," the U.S. official said.

"They started shooting and we decided it's time to slap them back hard. It's a process. We have patience. If we don't feel we're getting the deal we want, we are not going to do it."

Iran Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf emphasizes that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz by screenshotting the Memorandum of Understanding that Trump signed.

Ghalibaf's tweet contains a screenshot from the MoU. The full text is below.

Following is the full text of the memorandum published on Wednesday:

  1. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America and their allies in the current war, by signing this Memorandum of Understanding, declare the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and commit that from now on no war or military operation will be initiated against each other, and they will refrain from the threat or use of force against one another, and guarantee the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final agreement will confirm the permanent end of the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and the rest of this clause.

  2. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America commit to respecting each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and refraining from interference in each other’s internal affairs.

  3. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America commit to conducting negotiations and reaching a final agreement within a maximum period of 60 days, extendable by mutual consent.

  4. Immediately upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, the United States will begin lifting its naval blockade and any harassment or obstruction against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and will fully end the naval blockade within 30 days.

  5. Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements, to the best of its ability, for the safe passage of commercial vessels, free of charge for 60 days, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. Commercial shipping will begin immediately and will be fully established within 30 days, subject to the removal of technical and military obstacles and demining operations carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran will consult with the Sultanate of Oman regarding the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in accordance with applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz, and will also exchange views with other Gulf coastal states.

  6. The United States commits, together with its regional partners, to establish a definitive program agreed upon by both parties for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with a minimum funding of 300 billion dollars.

The United States commits to ending all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including United Nations Security Council resolutions, International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions, both primary and secondary, according to a timetable agreed as part of the final agreement. Both the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States acknowledge the fundamental importance of ending the sanctions mentioned above and express their intention to address these issues promptly in negotiations to reach a mutual agreement.

  8. The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it will not produce or acquire nuclear weapons. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States agree to resolve the status of stored enriched materials through a mutually agreed mechanism and in accordance with the timetable set in Clause 7, at a minimum through on-site dilution under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The two sides also agree to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the nuclear needs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on a satisfactory framework to be agreed in the final agreement. The final agreement will confirm the provisions of this clause. Both sides also acknowledge the fundamental importance of the above nuclear issues and express their intention to address them promptly in negotiations to reach a mutual agreement.

  9. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States agree to maintain the status quo until the final agreement is reached; Iran will maintain the status quo in its nuclear program, and the United States will not impose any new sanctions on Iran nor deploy additional military forces in the region.

  10. The United States commits to immediately, upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding and until sanctions are lifted, issuing Treasury waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and derivatives, and all related services, including banking transactions, insurance, transportation, and others.

  11. The United States commits to fully making available all restricted or frozen funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon implementation of this Memorandum of Understanding. The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the procedures for releasing these funds during negotiations. These funds, whether held in primary accounts or transferred, must be fully usable for payments to any final beneficiary designated by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States commits to issuing all necessary approvals and licenses in this regard.

Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and subject to the commencement of implementation of Clauses 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11 and the continuation of these measures, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States will begin negotiations on the final agreement exclusively on the remaining clauses.

  14. The final agreement will be endorsed by a binding resolution of the United Nations Security Council

It's even more absurd because the US is saying that the Iranian government is fractured. However it is the US government that has inconsistent behavior, Trump says that the MoU is over but CENTCOM says that the MoU is still on.

Axios and their reporter Barak Ravid have been narrating the US actions during the Iran war. He has been reporting US actions as they happen or sometime before they happen. Barak Ravid served as a member of IOF Unit 8200, Israel's equivalent of the US NSA. He could be an Israeli asset. He speaks directly with White House officials and reports what they tell him to report.

Yesterday Barak Ravid reported that the US had given a Saturday deadline to declare that the Strait of Hormuz is open. US official told Barak Ravid that there would be "harsh consequences" if Iran did not comply. Barak Ravid referred to this as an "ultimatum" for Iran. The US attack on Iran that occurred today is the result of this threat.

A U.S. official said the Iranians reached out to the administration after two days of skirmishes earlier this week and sought further talks to resolve the dispute.

"They told us, 'We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let's keep talking,'" the official claimed.

Baghaei denied on Friday that Iran had requested negotiations with the U.S. and claimed Iran only agreed to a request by the Qatari mediators to discuss the matter.

The U.S. official added that a power struggle is underway inside the Iranian regime over implementing the MOU and the next steps in negotiations with the Trump administration.

"There are elements within their system that want to reach a deal, but we can't make decisions for them. They need to get things under control," one U.S. official said.

The U.S. officials said they expect Iran to issue a statement after Saturday's meeting in Oman.

"We want them to publicly say that they will stop shooting at ships and explicitly, or at least implicitly, acknowledge that they screwed up. We are working on that now," one U.S. official said. "We expect the Iranians to say ... that every channel in the strait will be open and that it will be toll-free."

A second U.S. official said there will be harsh consequences if Iran refuses. "If it is not their position [tomorrow], it is not gonna be a great day for them," the official said.

The U.S. has already launched two rounds of strikes on Iran in retaliation for the Hormuz attacks. Thursday was a quieter day, as Trump signaled openness to returning to diplomacy.

One U.S. official said the U.S. and Iran have made progress toward a nuclear deal during three weeks of direct and indirect negotiations.

"We are talking to people with authority there who say they want a deal," one U.S. official said.

But officials also said the Hormuz crisis has raised serious questions about whether Iran will ever agree to a nuclear deal — or whether it would stay committed.

One official stressed that Trump has given U.S. negotiators space and time to pursue a nuclear deal with Iran, "but not a lot of space and time." The official added that plans are being drawn up for alternative options if no nuclear deal is reached.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Wednesday raised the alarm over Iranian drones believed to be in Cuba.

“Iran has been a consistent threat to the united security interests of our country, certainly of Israel,” Bush said during a United Against Nuclear Iran event, serving as the group’s chair. “And now, we see that it’s not just Israel and the United States, but the Gulf region as well. I also want to point out that the press reports that there are 300 of these [drones] in Cuba.”

He said the U.S. has capabilities to protect the country before adding that “drones organize in clusters and can get through the defense capabilities, as we’ve seen in the Middle East as well.”

“I think it’s important to recognize that Iran has consistently been working with Cuba, Venezuela prior to the departure of Maduro from the regime, creating instability in not just in Cuba, but certainly in the region,” Bush said, referring to deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

He praised the current administration’s efforts against Iran’s military capabilities, saying “we’re on the verge of creating a much more peaceable world by standing up against this aggression.”

Bush had for years drawn a hard line on Cuba. Before his 2016 Republican bid for the presidency, he shared then-Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) sentiment that the U.S. should not negotiate with Cuba and ease relations. Bush has been held in high regard by Florida’s Cuban exile population.

“The idea of unilaterally changing our policy in return for nothing, I think, would yield nothing,” he told The New York Times in 2014.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) joined Bush to emphasize the drones’ capacity to carry heavy explosive payloads over long distances, NBC 6 South Florida reported.

“This particular model, there is about over 100 pounds of explosives,” he said. “That’s a pretty big bang. That’s why they call them kamikaze drones — they crash into their target and they explode.”

Gimenez told WPLG Local 10, a Florida-based outlet, that these drones have “a range of about 2,500 kilometers, which from Cuba can reach all the way to New York.”

In May, Axios reported that Cuba acquired more than 300 military drones and discussed plans to attack the U.S. military base at Guantánamo Bay or Key West, Fla., citing classified intelligence. One unnamed senior U.S. official told the outlet that the buildup is a “growing threat.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last month warned during a visit to Guantánamo Bay that U.S. forces were “postured for any possible contingency.”

The Trump administration has sought to pressure Cuba’s regime toward reform, imposing a blockade to prevent energy resources from reaching the island country for months. Cubans have endured sweeping blackouts, with many taking to the streets in protest against the government’s actions.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned against any U.S. military intervention following the publication of the Axios story, warning of a “bloodbath with incalculable consequences” if there is an attack.

Trump is a neoliberal and a capitalist. He always has been.

He is definitely part of the problem. Saying "he is not the problem" is delusional. Iran is still pissed about Trump assassinating Qasem Soleimani during his first term, January 2020.

Trump also pulled out the JCPOA Iran denuclearization agreement in his first term. Iran continued to follow the agreement, even after he pulled out of it.

Trump had many, many pro-Israel policies during his first term. Trump signed a bill declaring that Golan Heights was Israeli land, which Israel had seized from Syria in the 1980s. Trump moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem in 2018, which Israel annexed in 1967. Trump created the Abraham Accords deal, which increased Israel's power in the region.

Trump started the war with Iran this year. Trump started the war with Iran last year. Trump signed the MoU to end the war that he started and then used that MoU as a way to restock ammunition so that he could start the war again. That's a war crime called Perfidy. It's a war crime under the Geneva Convention to use false pretense of truce or surrender, to kill, injure, or capture an adversary.

Israel has wanted to do a war with Iran for the past 40 years, but Trump was foolish enough to give them the green light. Trump is definitely a problem.

Iranians recognize that Trump is a problem. Iranians have been waving flags for the past week which say "# redacted-1redacted-2 Trump". Tell someone living in Iran that Trump isn't a problem after he assassinated Qasem Soleimani and Ayatollah Khamenei and killed 160 school girls and many other Iranians and continues to kill Iranians.

Phia, an advertising startup co-founded by Phoebe Gates, daughter of billionaire Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, bills itself as a “personal shopping assistant” that helps users find the lowest prices on a broad range of clothes and fashion accessories.

Download the Phia tool onto a web browser, use it while shopping and — voila — the so-called extension can quickly find discount codes for products. Businesses like these, known in industry parlance as affiliate marketing programs, typically collect a commission from retailers that make the resulting sale.

But according to Ben Edelman, an independent researcher and consultant who studies affiliate marketing, as well as Capital One Shopping, which makes a competing browser extension, Phia is claiming credit for online sales it didn’t actually drive, in violation of many digital platforms’ policies.

This is another one of Connor's friends talking about his alleged gold injections. 'Androgenic' is also a influencer.

“He started to get this fixation on gold. He started to believe that gold was some gatekept mineral by the higher-ups that basically gives you special powers if you ingest it…”

“A few weeks later he started the experiment, he was injecting gold… He was just crazy. He was covered in discoloration from gold poisoning… He ended up covered in his own blood, running around his neighborhood screaming, and then the police where called, and then the police chased him down, he ran into the lake, tried to escape, and we know what happened. Rest in Peace”

“I always had this thought that Connor Murphy is so deeply misunderstood… but it is so unfortunate that I so desperately wanted him to be vindicated. I wanted Connor Murphy to completely vindicate himself and for people to realize, wait this guy is onto something, this guys actually a smart guy that actually know how to live, better than the average guy does…”

“I miss him deeply, and I wish he didn’t do that obviously… At the end of the day, I f-cking love Connor, and I hope he’s living in some blissful afterlife.”

https://nitter.net/Clav0Updates/status/2075465905685823592#m

Connor was one of my closest friends. I stayed with him last month in Thailand and he was the most accommodating and awesome guy I've ever met.

https://nitter.net/androgenic_/status/2074938463569502328

only copied 1 line of the tweet because it's very long

Tony tells us Connor used gold to enhance the color of his skin and to create "superhuman" traits ... and he did see a huge change in him -- he was bolder, more courageous and had elevated energy.

Still, Tony says he warned Connor he should cool it with the amount of gold he was injecting ... worried about the unknown consequences of having the precious metal -- sometimes bought right from jewelry shops in Thailand -- in his body.

Tony tells TMZ he believes the gold may have altered Connor's mindset and got him "stuck" in another personality, bringing out a side of him that desired going to extreme measures for his looksmaxxing and content creation. Tony worries that altered state of mind may have encouraged actions that eventually led to Connor's demise.

As you know ... Connor drowned Tuesday in Thailand after locals in town called police on him for "erratic" behavior. He reportedly fled from cops and jumped into a lake nearby, swimming until he could no longer stay afloat.

I'm inclined to believe the rumors of Clavicular being tied with Peter Thiel.
