Trump-Natanyahu's war goes sour - latest news

Protest at US Yokosuka naval base in Japan against US-Israeli war against Iran. 80% in Japan oppose the attack on Iran. Likely one of highest percentages in the world. Yokosuka is the main base for US Navy's 7th fleet.

  • Trump is going to introduce tariffs against countries that do not acknowledge that the USA has defeated Iran. 
  • Washington’s aim is to decouple Iran from China and Russia, and turn it into a colony of the West, leaving the regime in power but ridding it of its regional influence in the Middle East.  This would essentially allow for the Greater Israel agenda to become a reality. 
  • China is the world’s largest crude oil importer and Iran is its second-largest supplier after Russia, accounting for roughly 15% of China’s oil imports, much of it at discounted prices, and powering China’s economy, particularly the manufacturing sector.  90% of Iran’s oil exports go to China.
  • The conflict in Latin America and the kidnapping of Maduro was another war on Chinese energy imports with Venezuela sending over half its exports to Beijing before January 2026, accounting for another 2% of China’s crude oil imports.
  • The Iranian national football team will be able to participate in the current World Cup despite the war if the team's matches are moved from the US to Mexico, The WSJ reports, citing the Iranian ambassador in Mexico City. According to him, the problem is that the first stage matches will be held in the United States. Shouldn't the US lose rights to World Cup and be banned from competing? Wasn't that part of the western colonialist's so-called 'Rules based order'? 
  • Netanyahu to call up nearly half MILLION reservists for ‘potential ground operation’ in Lebanon. Not likely since Zionists are escaping Israel daily.
  • The US/Israel bombed & levelled a high-school in Khomein, Iran.
  • Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: When the U.S. Secretary of War declares 'no quarter', he doesn't project strength. He conveys moral bankruptcy and ignorance about law of armed conflict. We advise him to review the Hague Convention and Rome Statute of the ICC, unless he aspires to join Netanyahu as war criminal.
  • Trump says he’ll have the ‘honor of taking Cuba: I can do anything’. The president’s comments came amid a U.S. oil blockade. The country’s electrical grid collapsed Monday, causing a Cuba-wide blackout. 
  • US efforts to build an international coalition to secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz have turned into a “mess” because Washington’s partners are reluctant to offer assistance, Axios reported. The outlet added that Trump had been warned the government in Tehran could consolidate power rather than collapse. 
  • Over 600 sailors aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier were left without beds after a fire broke out last week, the New York Times reports. US Central Command described the incident as 'not combat-related'.  The newspaper revealed on Monday that it took more than 30 hours to extinguish the fire, which originated in the ship’s main laundry area. Dozens suffered smoke inhalation, the report said, citing anonymous sources. More than 600 sailors lost their bunks and have since been sleeping on floors and tables. Many sailors have been unable to do laundry since the incident. Previous reporting noted that the $13 billion lead ship of its class has also been plagued by toilet problems. 
  • An Asahi newspaper survey found that 82% of Japanese respondents oppose the attack on Iran by Israel and the US, while 9% support it. The nationwide poll also showed that 51% disapprove of Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s decision to avoid clarifying the legal status of the attack, while 34% approve. While Spain and several other countries have condemned the attack as a violation of international law, the Prime Minister declined to comment, stating she will “refrain from making a legal assessment.”


  • More money flowed through the prediction market Polymarket on the timing of the US government’s recent attack on Iran than was bet on this year’s Super Bowl with Nevada’s sportsbooks. Bettors traded more than $529 million in forecasts of when the US would next strike Iran in a market opened last year on Polymarket, the self-described world’s largest prediction market. Just goes to show the madness and moral decay that is the USA.
  • Ali Larijani (Iran's Secretary of Supreme National Security Council) in one of his final statements before his speculated assassination, has confirmed that the Epstein regimes in the US and Israel are planning to carry out a false flag terrorist attack similar to 9/11 and then blame Iran for it.  The hope is that the attack will create a justification for a ground invasion of Iran and further war crimes against the Iranian people. Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi corroborated this account, confirming that extremist figures within the CIA and Mossad discussed a plan to target a landmark tower either in an American city or the United Arab Emirates.
  • Putin delivers a message to the West. "The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries. They do not think about how to improve your lives. They are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits." 
  • Estonia to deploy 7 soldiers to help defend the US and Israel against Iranian threats.
  • 200+ US troops wounded across seven countries in Iran war. Traumatic brain injuries among most common reports Washington Post.
  • Zelensky on Iran war: 'He [Netanyahu] has what I need, and I have what he needs.' Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky desperately trying to organise ‘date night’ with Israeli genocidal maniac Benjamin Netanyahu.
