⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — U.S. Rejects Iranian Ceasefire Proposal as President Trump Signals Post-Midterm Stance, — THE JERUSALEM POST. ​➡️ U.S. President Donald Trump has formally rejected a proposed seven-day ceasefire and accelerated diplomatic framework pitched by Tehran, making it clear that he expects military operations and bombing campaigns against Iran to persist through the upcoming midterm elections. The proposal, detailed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, aimed to establish a temporary cessation of hostilities, lift naval blockades on Iranian oil, and reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz before November. Araghchi asserted that implementing the arrangement ahead of the U.S. midterms would offer mutual strategic benefits, arguing that Tehran's terms presented a viable window to ease soaring global energy pressures. ​➡️ The rejection underscores the widening chasm between Washington's military posture and Tehran's diplomatic overtures, following President Trump's address at the UN where he insisted that any comprehensive settlement or long-term deal would likely wait until after American voters head to the polls. While the proposed timetable required substantial U.S. and allied concessions—including reining in regional military campaigns and restoring oil export waivers—the White House remains skeptical of Tehran's compliance, opting instead to maintain intense economic and military pressure as the domestic political calendar heats up. ⭐️ Follow @MaxOsintIntel

No surprise here. I’ve been saying since March this war isn’t going to end until one side suffers a total and humiliation loss.

🇺🇸🪖 US military activity near Strait of Hormuz indicates possible new attack wave US reconnaissance aircraft operated over Iran’s Qeshm and Hengam islands in the Strait of Hormuz overnight from Wednesday into Thursday, signaling increased military activity in the region, according to sources. Additional US aircraft were reportedly observed conducting reconnaissance flights over Iran’s Kermanshah province, alongside unmanned aerial vehicles. The sources also said that twelve F-16 fighter jets had been deployed from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany to the region. FlightRadar data showed several types of US military aircraft operating or being deployed toward the area, including: 🌏 KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft 🌏 KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft 🌏 MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones 🌏 C-17 military transport aircraft   The reported movements come after US President Donald Trump floated the idea of  “annihilating Iran” during his speech at the UNGA. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 — Israeli Prime-Minister Netanyahu about the Palestinian militancy in Judea and Samaria/West Bank:

The remaining terrorists are desperately trying to regroup. Every day, they try to murder our people, and in particular, they try to murder our people in our historic homeland in Judea. By the way, that's where the word Jew comes from — Judea. That's our land. They try to murder us.

Oh but you never try to murder any of them? No murder is justified. One murder it too many. But if you just look at the numbers and compare the number of innocent civilian Jews murdered to the numbers of innocent civilian Arabs murdered it’s not even close. It’s like 1,000 or more Arabs, including many Arab Christians, killed in this nasty and very sad hate fest to every one Jew that is killed.

🇮🇱Netanyahu reiterates baseless ‘Hamas burned babies’ claim at UN In his speech at the UN General Assembly, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu once again brought up the alleged atrocities committed by Hamas during the October 7 attacks, claiming that the Palestinian militants “burned babies alive in front of their parents.” However, nearly three years after the attacks, Israel has failed to provide evidence to back up this shocking claim. Several investigations later found that some of the most widely circulated early reports about murdered or burned babies were unverified or false, while children were among those killed during the attack. Netanyahu’s speech also came as international organizations document the deaths of large numbers of Palestinian civilians, including children, during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

Both sides on this nasty generational war have no qualms with killing babies! The old adage that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter definitely applies to the Palestinian-Israeli hate fest!

🗣Netanyahu invokes Bible in Golan Heights claim as Syria rejects Israeli control Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s claim to the Golan Heights during his UNGA speech, telling Syria's interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa: “The Jews have been on the Golan Heights since the days of Moses. You can read it in the Bible.” Earlier, al-Sharaa said the territory remains Syrian land and called Israeli annexation decisions invalid under UN resolutions, demanding the withdrawal of Israeli forces. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

If he is citing biblical texts as the reason for expansionary policies then that just proves that the Greater Israel project is truth and not a “conspiracy theory” as the naysayers charge. You can agree or disagree with the policy but to deny it exists is dishonest and disingenuous. 👇

🇺🇸🇺🇳🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — POTUS Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly:

One year ago when I addressed the great leaders in this Grand Hall, the War in Gaza was still raging brutally, the hostages were still deep in Hamas tunnels, and there was no end in sight. But here on the sidelines of the General Assembly, we took the first steps that changed everything. A few weeks later, we ENDED the War in Gaza, saving untold thousands of lives. We also brought home ALL remaining hostages, both living and dead.

What a liar. The killing in Gaza has continued unabated and he knows it.

🤥🔍 Trump claims US keeps oil flowing through Strait of Hormuz Even as Iranian forces maintain control of the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump continues to insist that the US Navy has escorted multiple oil tankers through that critical waterway despite all the evidence to the contrary. “The United States Navy has recently escorted more than 1 billion barrels of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz, and more oil is flowing than at any point since the start of the war. We're taking 22, 25, 30, 32 and 37 ships out, respectively, every single day, every single night,” Trump claimed at the UN General Assembly session. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
