IRNA News Agency 🇮🇷 📄 Aref say Iran’s authority will not be tarnished by Trump’s ‘ravings’ 📌 Tehran, IRNA – First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has described US President Donald Trump’s policies as a “blend of delusion and contradictory rhetoric”, saying Iran’s authority will not be tarnished by “ravings.” In reaction to Trump’s repeated threats to impose a maritime blockade against Iran, Aref wrote on his official X account on Saturday that Iran would not respond in words, but in action. ​ “Breaking the so-called maritime blockade and the two- to threefold surge in oil exports over this period are signs of Iran’s decisive victory,” he said, according to the English translation of his English post. ​ Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement earlier today that as long as the enemy intends to disrupt the passage of vessels and employ methods such as a maritime blockade, the Islamic Republic of Iran will consider that a violation of the ceasefire and will refrain from a conditiona

I’d love to see politicians in western countries have the courage and fortitude to use accurate language as Iranian leaders do.

No sane person accepts the criminal orange turd’s ravings, yet our politicians consistently give Trump a pass.

IRNA News Agency 🇮🇷 ⚡️ Vance proved he can’t save America 📌 When news reports first indicated that J. D. Vance was going to lead the Americans in negotiations with Iran, the country America and Israel are waging a foolish war against, there was a sense that someone even as young as the U.S. vice president may have recognized the train wreck that Donald Trump was leaving behind. Former top negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had already proven to be self-enriching charlatans like Trump. If someone understood a little — only a little — more about the state of affairs, they could be excellent replacements to Witkoff and Kushner and save America from a crisis of its own making. ​ As it transpired, that person was not Vance. ​ In the negotiations with Iran, the U.S. vice president proved to be no more than a minion to Trump, not someone who can rise to the occasion and stop the stupid war that is taking down the American military and the global economy. ​ If you can’t see how disastrously America an
