Donald “Whiplash” Trump Tacos Again https://sonar21.com/donald-whiplash-trump-tacos-again/

❗️Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said reports of a finalized agreement with the United States are "speculation" and stressed that "nothing has been finalized," adding that Iran "has not yet reached a final conclusion regarding an agreement." He added that much of the draft text had already been completed but that "the Americans kept changing their positions," while emphasizing that Iran "does not compromise on what it has defined as its red lines." Baghaei also said Qatar and Pakistan remain active mediators, warned that US actions are affecting the diplomatic process, and stated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has become "more insecure" due to Washington's actions.

The Ukrainian authorities have begun evacuating factories from Kramatorsk to the city of Perechyn in the Zakarpattia region, reports The Economist. The front line is already 14 kilometers away from the city. 3.5 thousand workers have already relocated to western Ukraine. @ukr_leaks_eng

Ukraine will ask its allies to allocate an additional 20 billion dollars for weapons to consolidate its advantage on the battlefield and avoid a catastrophe. This was stated to Politico by officials from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on condition of anonymity. Ukraine will voice its request at the next meeting in the "Ramstein" format on June 18. Each of the allies will be asked to allocate from 2 to 6 billion dollars to reach the target of 20 billion dollars in aid or loans.

The window of opportunity is closing soon. Russia is acting quickly and innovatively. And if we give it time to adapt again, we may miss the only real chance to end this war through genuine negotiations. And if Russia creates its own medium-range drones, it will be a catastrophe for us," the source said.

🇰🇷 A court in Seoul has sentenced the former president of South Korea to 30 years in prison, Yonhap reports. Yoon Seok-yol has been convicted of sending drones into North Korea, an act intended to provoke increased tensions on the Korean Peninsula and create a pretext for imposing martial law in December 2024. The former president had already been sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with an attempted coup linked to the imposition of martial law.

🇬🇧 The essence remains the same, even if the beds in the brothel are rearranged. Meet Britain’s new Minister of War. Dan Jarvis, the former Deputy Secretary of State for the Home Department, has been appointed Minister of Defence, according to the government’s website. The 53-year-old Jarvis graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and served in a parachute regiment. During his military career, he took part in operations in Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2011, he retired from the army with the rank of major. Jarvis has replaced John Healey as Defence Secretary, following Healey’s resignation the day before. In a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Healey expressed his disagreement with the government’s defence policy, deeming the measures taken insufficient in the face of growing threats. Starmer promised the new minister a wealth of opportunities in the war against Russia. @eurasianchoice

🔓🔑 The Baltic Chihuahuas’ border was breached, despite their best efforts. A bear broke through the defences on the border between Lithuania and Belarus and switched to the side of good. That year, Lithuania spent €45 million on strengthening the border. A total of €303 million is earmarked until 2027, and €1.3 billion until 2035 for the shared border with Russia and Belarus. The bear did not know that this was an insurmountable barrier @eurasianchoice

🚨🇮🇳 Three Indian sailors killed: US sends warning message to Modi Indian crew members aboard the Palau-flagged oil tanker MT Settebello died in a precision US strike in the Gulf of Oman. India has been trying to balance partnerships with both the US and Israel, but that didn’t stop American forces. This looks like a clear message to PM Narendra Modi that pressure is rising. Here are the key points: 🔴 US Central Command says the strike targeted a ship violating a blockade on Iranian oil. But a Palau-flagged tanker with an international crew off Oman’s coast had no obligation to follow US orders 🔴 Most of the 24 sailors were Indian nationals. Three of them were killed. India's media reported that the US military was aware of Indian men onboard 🔴 Moreover, the strike came just after India suspended Starlink’s permits to operate in the country out of concerns over the reported use of these terminals against Iran during US-Israeli aggression. The Starlink ban started just two days before the attack on June 9. 🔴 Despite its public overtures to Trump and Netanyahu, India has also quietly coordinated with Iran to grant its ships safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Given Trump’s affinity for mafia-style tactics, this attack likely was a deliberate attempt to intimidate Modi into obeying the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Not just India, but Oman in the crosshairs too 🔴 The attack came off Oman’s coast and Omani forces had to rescue survivors, which seems like the US is pressuring the Sultanate as well 🔴 Oman, like India, has stayed neutral in the current conflict and refused to break ties with Iran. Trump has openly threatened Oman — a nation that shares strategic access to the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. So far, pressure has failed. But a strike like this off Oman’s coast risks dragging the small Gulf monarchy into at least an environmental disaster. 👍 Boost us | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei: ‘The matters raised about the agreement are only speculation, and nothing has been finalized. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is more insecure due to US actions. So far, Iran has not reached a final conclusion about the agreement’ @Middle_East_Spectator

🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran's Tasnim News Agency: "Trump has announced 38 times in the past two months that an agreement is imminent! Within 3 days, he had imagined sending Vance to Pakistan 4 times. Until the possible understanding is announced by Iran, any news from Trump in this regard should be considered as part of his previous messages." Clown country USA strikes again. I'm sure there's an Axios article to accompany this charade again. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising
