Iran and allies holding off US-Israel terrorism

• Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC): Do not look for a credible threat anywhere other than Washington and Tel Aviv. If the satanic Zionist-American coalition makes another mistake, the region will become hell for it.
• From the Strait of Hormuz to Bab al-Mandab and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, there will be a new security belt of resistance. The evils of the Zionist regime and America in this region will result in a reaction from the United Resistance Front.
• Yemen military: "We will only prevent Zionist ships from passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait."
• CNN: It was an Iranian Shahed drone that crashed into the US Apache helicopter.

• According to reports, the building that Iranian missiles hit inside of Israeli Ramat David Air Base, was the HQ of the Israeli Air Force’s 157th Squadron, which specializes in electronic warfare (EW) using classified drones. Ramat David is the only major base of Israel in the north, and the air base from where ‘Israel’ launches attacks on Lebanon. 
• In an article for Haaretz, former Israeli PM Ehud Barak stated that there is no sign of Hezbollah’s collapse and that the conflict can only be resolved diplomatically, given the rising pressures of Israeli society back home, particularly those living along the border regions. One word sums up the situation in Lebanon from the perspective of the prime minister: failure. And in two words: total failure.
• Simplicius: Israel is now trapped in a quagmire in both Gaza and Lebanon with its hands being increasingly tied by pressure from Trump, who himself is being swallowed by the pressures wrought of his failed Hormuz gambit. That means Israel may soon be trapped in an untenable position with all the hornet’s nests of its surrounding enemies having been stirred up, while its economy sinks and military stocks deplete. Iran holds the high ground in virtually every way, and each passing moment brings Iran more strength in reconstituting its losses.  

• The Bulgarian government has stated that it will no longer supply weapons to Ukraine.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama is obviously an Israeli agent doing the bidding of Trump and Netanyahu in order to create another pristine hiding place for 'Greater Israel'.

• Albanians fight Trump-Kushner resort fencing off public beaches. Jared Kushner's 'Affinity Partners' funded by Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth, with Ivanka Trump publicly attached, is building luxury resorts on Albania's southern coast. A thousand villas and hotel rooms beside a new airport, inside the protected Narta lagoon home to flamingos and pelicans. In 2021 the area's protection was downgraded and shrunk by over 5,000 hectares. In February 2024, Parliament rewrote the Law on Protected Areas to allow building in protected zones. The Constitutional Court refused to strike it down. Then the fences went up. Under Albanian law no beach can be made private, the shoreline is public. Three public beaches were sealed off with no notice. Bulldozers appeared in the lagoon. In May residents and activists marched on the site. They were met by police standing back while masked private security moved in. Protesters reported pepper spray. The people are not asking for a better deal. The movements wants the strategic-investment laws repealed and the destruction work stopped. This is not Kushner's coast, and not Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's to sell. It belongs to the people who learned to swim there. Albanian prosecutors just froze assets linked to Jared Kushner’s $4 billion resort project after mass protests.  

• A comprehensive global study that surveyed tens of thousands of people in nearly 100 countries found that the vast majority see the United States as the biggest threat to the world. At the same time, more and more nations say they prefer China over the US. China’s approval rating has risen dramatically in the Global South, in particular, where support for the US has plummeted. Most people in 65 out of the 84 countries said the United States is the largest danger. Another 10 countries (almost all in Europe) said Russia is the biggest threat. Seven (in West Asia and North Africa) said Israel. Israel said Iran. Japan said China.
• Trump makes an arrogant appearance at the NBA basketball finals in New York City last night. 

• Data centers. In addition to air pollution, water contamination, and PFAS contamination, the data center gold rush is increasing EMF exposures - which are linked to childhood cancer and other health impacts - through the massive electrical grid infrastructure being built to power these facilities, such as new substations and high voltage power lines.
• The biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) war games, the largest military naval exercise in the world, is scheduled to take place in the waters around, the air above, and on the ‘aina of Hawaii from June 24 to July 31, 2026. The US Pacific Fleet has announced that 31 nations will be participating that includes “a multinational force of approximately 40 surface ships, 5 submarines, 140 aircraft and more than 25,000 personnel." Detailed plans of the military training for 2026 have yet to be released, but past training has included bombing and shelling, the sinking of ships, beach assaults, etc. on and around several islands including live fire training at Pohakuloa in the center of Hawaii island.  

• An example of the growing collapse of the US is this story from the Portland Press Herald. Maine's Department of Transportation has an $84 million budget shortfall. How will it affect residents? A gap in funding is forcing the state to postpone road repairs just as construction season begins, leaving local contractors scrambling for answers. Expect more stories like this across the nation as the Pentagon eats up more and more (now $1.5 trillion in 2026) of the federal budget due to endless war$. Isn't it time to connect the dots and cry out that war mongering is destroying our economy and our collective future? 

• President Sheinbaum rejects US military pressure on Mexican territory. The US calls it a security crisis. Mexico calls it a sovereignty violation. When the US proposed unilateral military operations inside Mexican territory, Sheinbaum's response was immediate and unambiguous: No. Not negotiable. Not subject to revision. The framing in US media treated her refusal as obstruction. The accurate framing is that she enforced the same territorial sovereignty the US would enforce without hesitation if the roles were reversed. What do you call it when a country refuses to let a foreign military operate inside its borders? Sovereignty!
• A chained soldier staged a solo picket on the Maidan Square in Kiev, Ukraine. He demands a clear term of service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the possibility of demobilization and calls the current system "slavery." Most of us who have been serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the first days of the full-scale invasion are already mentally exhausted and physically crippled. We have the right to have our elected leaders find at least partial options for our release from service after all this time, he wrote.
