The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.

Iran’s IRGC Says It Will Decide Who Crosses Hormuz Amid Divisions in Regime By Benoit Faucon The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it would decide which vessels are allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian pledges that the waterway has been unblocked, in a sign the regime is divided over giving up its control of the critical oil conduit. “Passage is only possible with the permission of the IRGC Navy,” the paramilitary force said in a statement carried by state media. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier Friday on X that Hormuz was fully open following a cease-fire in Lebanon. Media affiliated with IRGC, which engineered Iran’s de facto closure of the maritime waterway, have attacked Araghchi’s announcement. The IRGC-affiliated news agency Tasnim warned the opening “will be considered null in case the alleged maritime U.S. blockade continues.” Tasnim criticized Araghchi’s post for “a complete lack of tact in information dissemination.” Fars, another IRGC news agency, said that “following the unexpected tweet from the Foreign Minister about the liberation of the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian society has been plunged into an atmosphere of confusion.” Saeid Golkar, an expert in Iran’s security services at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, said the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had left Iran’s regime divided. “Because the main arbitrator is gone, the fight between different factions has started,” he said.

44 min ago Iran Rejects Claim It Would Transfer Enriched Uranium to U.S. By Saleh al-Batati Iran said Friday it won’t send its stockpile of enriched uranium abroad, pushing back on remarks by President Trump that Tehran had agreed to hand it over. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the material wouldn't be transferred “anywhere,” according to state media, underscoring Iran’s long-standing position on retaining control over its nuclear assets. “Just as Iran’s soil is important and sacred to us, so too is enriched uranium,” Baghaei said, adding that sending the material to the U.S. “was never an option on the table.” He also dismissed reports of a potential permanent halt to enrichment, describing them as part of a media campaign aimed at influencing negotiators and shaping the course of the talks.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is fully open; but the IRGC says no, they get to decide who passes through.

Trump says Iran has agreed to turn over its uranium; and Iran says no, it won't.

A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.

NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.

This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.

Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.
