IRAN OFFERS U.S A NEW DEAL TO END THE WAR Here is why the news and why I think it’s a good idea.

BREAKING: IRGC SPOKESMAN: “Iran will not stop punishing America until its seven conditions are met; Iranian missiles are capable of destroying US multi-layered air defenses.”

JUST IN: Ansar Allah’s Yahya Saree says Saudi warplanes launched 14 airstrikes & missiles in the past 24 hours from Khamis Mushait, Taif & Najran targeting Taiz, Amran, Marib & Saada. Total Saudi aggression raids since escalation began: 1,032.

JUST IN: IRAN FM SPOX BAGHAEI: “Rutte’s remarks about the use of U.S. facilities in Europe for the U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran are a clear admission that Europe knowingly participated in the war, despite repeatedly denying it. The EU, its member states and NATO members must be held accountable for their political, military, logistical and other support for the U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran.”

BREAKING: IRAN PRESIDENT PEZESHKIAN: “I appreciate President Xi Jinping’s thoughtful and responsible support for a return to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and for resolving differences through dialogue and diplomacy. Iran shares this approach and underscores the importance of returning to that understanding, honoring the commitments already agreed upon, and creating the conditions necessary for serious, substantive, and results-oriented negotiations to move forward. The convergence of views between Tehran and Beijing on respect for national sovereignty, de-escalation, and the preservation of regional peace and stability provides a strong basis for continued constructive cooperation.”

BREAKING: PAKISTAN PM SHARIF ON MECCA PACT “Our enduring commitment to peace is also reflected by the historic Makkah Joint Defence Agreement among the brotherly countries, Saudi Arabia, Turkey & Pakistan. This alliance is not directed against any country. It is a collective commitment for defence, stability, and peace in the region, and nothing more.”

BREAKING: PAKISTAN PM SHARIF ON SAUDI/HOUTHIS “We once again condemn in the strongest possible terms the recent deplorable attacks by the Houthis against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The attempted drone attack on the holy city of Makkah al-Mukarramah has outraged Muslims across the globe. Any threat to the safety and sanctity of the Haramain Sharifain is our red line that must never be crossed. No Muslim can even dare to think of committing such a heinous crime. Pakistan stands in complete solidarity with the brotherly people of Saudi Arabia, as we always have throughout our history.”

BREAKING: PAKISTAN PM SHARIF ON THE STRAIT & BAB EL-MANDEB “The Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb are arteries of the global economy. They must remain open, connecting nations, not becoming chokepoints of confrontation. These waters must carry the promise of prosperity, not the perils of war.”

BREAKING: PAKISTAN PM SHARIF ON US/IRAN “At this critical moment, Pakistan chose to act swiftly. Through concerted efforts, Pakistan successfully brought Washington and Tehran under one roof in Islamabad. From the Islamabad talks to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, many historic steps were taken to bring an end to this serious conflict. Here, I deeply appreciate Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff, whose relentless efforts helped create space for diplomacy under exceptionally difficult and challenging circumstances.”

JUST IN: IRISH TAOISEACH ON SUDAN: “We need to act decisively to support the people of Sudan to end this conflict. We must support their aspirations for democracy, justice, and development. Sudan has become a forgotten war despite its devastating impacts. We must not allow the absence of daily headlines to become a license for inaction.”

JUST IN: IRISH TAOISEACH ON GAZA: “The peace plan on Gaza agreed last October was welcome, but it has not fundamentally changed the reality on the ground. Israeli strikes continue. Humanitarian aid remains blocked. Civilians continue to suffer. We, the international community, have failed Palestine.”

JUST IN: IRISH TAOISEACH ON IRAN: “Ireland has consistently stated that Iran must cease its attacks on its neighbors and also end its destabilizing activities across the region, including strikes on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Vessels must be allowed to transit the strait safely and without tolls in line with international law. If we are to build greater stability, Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. Iran’s destabilizing influence across the region must cease. We need dialogue to achieve a negotiated settlement.”
