Trump Says Deal With Iran Is Close - Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei Says 'Death To America'

 

 

Two days ago US President Donald Trump told a White House press briefing an agreement with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and details will be announced soon.

The deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Saturday, without giving further details.

Trump wrote on social media that he had a "very good call" with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and others about a "Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE".

"An agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalisation between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed," his Truth Social read.

In response an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman told state television that US and Iranian positions had been converging in the last week, but warned that did not mean agreements would be reached on key issues and accused the Americans of "contradictory statements.

A British Prime Minister of the 1960 once famously said 'A week is a long time in politics.' That was then and this is now, a digital age of information overload when a week is almost eternity and Two days is an aeon.

 While Tump was again calling for peace today (May 26 ), Iranian leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei issued a message  calling for greater unity across the Muslim world against the United States and Israel, saying that the chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” will become the rallying slogans of Muslims and “the oppressed of the world.” 

Khamenei’s message was to mark Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage. In it, Khamenei described a historic struggle against U.S. and Israeli influence in the Middle East, repeatedly invoking the revolutionary slogan “Allahu Akbar” as the “weapon” that had enabled Iran and its allies to resist outside pressure.

He said Iran had succeeded in “making the Zionist regime helpless under its severe blows during the second imposed war” and in delivering “a harsh slap to aggressive America,” while thwarting efforts to force Tehran into submission.

The statement also praised what it called the “Resistance Front,” saying Iranian forces and allied fighters in Lebanon had secured “notable victories” against “the two terrorist armies, armed to the teeth by the American-Zionist side.”

Khamenei coupled the aggressive rhetoric with a broader appeal for cooperation among Muslim-majority countries, calling on Muslim leaders to “no longer serve as shields for American bases” while denouncing Israel as a “faltering” regime that was nearing “the final stages of its cursed life.”

Khamenei’s message came as the United States, Israel, and Iran remain locked in a tense standoff following months of fighting that included U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, Iranian retaliation across the region, and disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

An aspect of the conflict's wider impact that is not being discussed in mainstream media is the increase in terrorist activity since the outbreak of hostilities initially between Israel and Iran around three months ago. Iran had long been known as the main sponsor of The Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation formed to take jihad into the western democracies. Yet many western leaders are so committed to virtue signalling they refuse to ban the organisation. 

Although the ceasefire Trump negotiated has largely held for the past month, with only minor violations by both sides, negotiations continue over a proposed memorandum of understanding intended to end hostilities and establish a framework for future talks.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on May 25 that negotiations with Tehran were “proceeding nicely” but warned that failure to secure an acceptable agreement could lead to renewed military action.

Earlier today we heard that overnight.US forces carried out “defensive” strikes on a missile site and two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) mine-laying boats, which officials said were targeting the United States.

Iran immediately accused the US of violating the ceasefire (although to be fair both sides have been violating it on a daily basis,) and criticised the “bad faith and unreliability” of Washington, adding that it would be held accountable for “all consequences arising from these hostile acts”.

“Without any doubt, the Islamic Republic of Iran will leave no aggression unanswered and will not hesitate in defending Iran’s sovereignty with the utmost determination,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

And so it looks as if we are back to square one. Start stocking up your survival cupboards folks, oil and a lot of things that depend on  oil are going to be in short supply for a while yet.

Russia's Biggest Air Attack Yet Strikes Ukraine Government Complex In Kiev

 

 SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2025: Russia's bigest ever aerial assault on Ukraine struck the capital Kiev early this morning. At least nine missiles and hundreds of drones made impact on Sunday, local officials said. Some sources on the ground report the  assault may be seen up to 1,000 projectiles launched.

Crucially for the progress of the war, this is the first ever aerial strike directly targeted Ukraine’s main government complex in the heart of central Kiev. Government buildings in the capital have thus far been sparred in the Russian 'special military operation' (SMO) - but Sunday's attack suggests the Kremlin could be turning toward all-out war. It appears that once again the Russian's are trying to ram home to Ukraine the message, "You've lost, now stop fighting," because today we also learned that Putin had invited Zelensky to Moscow to negotiate a ceasefire but Zelensky, true to form behaved as if the Ukies are winning by telling the Russian's Putin would have to go to Kiev.

Sunday's attack will certainly cause European leaders to ramp up pressure on Washington go to ahead and unleash Trump's threatened secondary sanctions on Moscow and its trading partners. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen quickly took to  social social media, to criticise The Kremlin's latest strike on the Ukrainian capital.

Peace In Ukraine Or Trump Calling Putin's Bluff

by Arthur Foxake and Phil T Looker We wanted to title this article, "Peace In Ukraine Or Is Trump Pissing Into The Wind," but our editor thought it might violate 'community rules'.

 

President Emmanuel Macron of France told reporters on Wednesday that there are no transfersd of territory 'on the table' after he participated in a phone call with President Trump and other European leaders.

Macron, and the European heads of government, includink the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are insisting that no nation or organisation other than the Zelensky government could negotate a land swap or sign on to a peace deal. Trump has told President Zelensky that he wants a ceasefire from the Putin summit, which is to be held at a US military base in Anchorage on Friday.

During the Wednesday virtual call, Zelensky reporteldy told Trump that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "bluffing" and that he doesn’t "want peace" - but instead is just buying time while seeking increased credibility on a global stage. We have heard that song before from Zelensky (usualy with a musical accompaniment provided by his piano playng penis,) it has become the standard Ukie tactic for derailing any peace initiative. Prior to the Alaskan summit  the Ukrianian leader has again lobbied Trump to levy more sanctions on Moscow. NATO chief Mark Rutte, meanwhile, has said "the ball is now in Putin’s court." But the reality is that Putin currently has more leverage than ever.

In Kiev the strutting little popinjay Zelensky might still pretend he is a globally significat political figure, but in the streets support for continuing the war has collapsed and there are strong rumours circulating that the leaders will soon be ousted in a coup. Fir the sake of the Ukrainian people we can only hope this happens.

On the battlefront things are not looking good for the Ukies,which makes Zelensky's posturing even more idiotic - will foreign mercenaries, and Nato troops in disguise - help shore up for now, the inevitable. The situation in southwestern Donbass is rapidly deteriorating for Ukrainian troops now facing two major encirclements, former chief of staff of the Azov Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Bogdan Krotevich, has claimed.

The frontline between Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), the largest city under Ukrainian control in the southwest of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, and Konstantinovka, a major stronghold some 45km to the northeast of the city, has effectively ceased to exist, Krotevich claimed.

“I honestly don’t know what exactly you are being told, but I can tell you: the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka line is, without exaggeration, a complete f**k up. And this f**k up has been growing for a long time, getting messier every day,” he wrote in an open letter to Vladimir Zelensky which he posted on X late on Monday.

The city of Pokrovsk has been de-facto surrounded by Russian troops, while Konstantinovka is facing semi-encirclement, he claimed.

The former Azov commander shared a map purporting to show the situation in the area, which corroborates media reports of a major Russian breakthrough to the north of Pokrovsk that emerged earlier in the day.

“The systemic problem began with the thinning out of reserves, widespread fragmentation of units along the entire front line, reports about a ‘taken village’ touted as a victory despite failures in entire operational directions,” Krotevich wrote, accusing “parts” of the military leadership of a “complete lack of a strategic and even operational vision of the theater of operations.”

A similar alarmist message was produced by Taras Chmut, the head of the pro-military charity Come Back Alive. The crisis in Donbass has been brewing for about a year and a half, he wrote on X earlier in the day, predicting the Ukrainian military was about to begin losing land “by tens, hundreds of square kilometers” daily.

“First, we failed at the platoon level. Then the company. Then it’s the turn of the battalion level. When it comes to brigades, the enemy will put into action its armored groups, which have been actively accumulating for a year, and will go to the rear, to the operational space,” he claimed."

We can confirm this is at leasst half true, which suggests that Putin is not bluffing. Ukraine could have had peace on very favourable terms in April 2022. but supported by the USA ans NATOthey chose to drag Russia into a war of attrition. Now they will have to pay the price.

The Longer Ukraine Holds Out Against Surrender The More Territory They Will Lose

 

 Reports this week that Russian troops in Ukraine are pushing pushing Ukrainian forces back and that Moscow would bolster its military by adding two new armies and 30 new formations by the end of this year should be treated with the usual scepticism Boggart Blog always recommends applying to news from both sides in any conflict. However the fact that steadfastly pro - Ukie western news organisations have reported this without the usual pro - Kiev bias suggests there is a core of truth in it.

 

Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022, swiftly pulled back some of its forces in the east and south after over-extending early in the conflict but has been slowly advancing after a Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2023 failed to make significant gains.

 

Russia now controls approximately 20% of territory inside Ukraine's internationally recognised borders and President Vladimir Putin ordered troops to push further forward after Moscow took several small but strategically important towns earlier this year.

"Groups of Russian troops continue to squeeze the enemy out of their positions," Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told senior generals, according to offficial press releases. "The United States and its satellites are extremely concerned about the success of the Russian Armed Forces." Russia, which has recruited hundreds of thousands of contract soldiers, will create two new armies and 30 formations including 14 divisions and 16 brigades, Shoigu said.

 

Putin announced late last week that “Russia plans to create a buffer security zone along the Russian border” with Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk Regions, thus meaning inside the corresponding Ukrainian regions of Kharkov (once again), Sumy, and Chernigov. Unlike last year’s attempt, this latest one might be more successful due to the very different context within which it’s being pursued, particularly as regards the conflict’s new diplomatic and military dynamics.

RT chief Margarita Simonyan clarified that the Russian delegation in Istanbul didn’t threaten that their country would claim an additional Ukrainian region if Ukraine doesn’t withdraw from the four disputed ones, but four more for a total of eight regions (not counting Crimea). These could conceivably be all or part of Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov, and Dniepropetrovsk Regions given Russia’s latest buffer zone plan unless Ukraine agrees to its demanded concessions before then. The longer the Ukies, in their collective madness, continue to insist Russia must agree to their terms before there can be an end to the fighting, the greater price they will pay. Yet Zelensky and the Kiev clown show are still approaching peace talks as if they and not Moscow are in the militarily commanding position.

With the Russian plan in mind and the four regions in question, Kiev, Cherkassy, and Poltava are either entirely or partially east of the Dnieper, Russia might call for the creation of a totally demilitarized “Trans-Dnieper” region controlled by non-Western peacekeepers. or demand the total demilitarization of  Ukraine. 

Regardless of what Moscow eventually offers, Putin’s newly announced buffer zone plan shows that Russia is expanding its goals, which makes sense considering that it’s winning and that Ukraine still refuses to comply with its demanded concessions for politically resolving the conflict. The longer that Ukraine refuses to agree to peace on Russia’s terms, the more land that it stands to lose, which might ultimately be much more than anyone expects if the US soon abandons Ukraine in order to cut its losses.

There is no mention at all the news as to how the Ukraine war  effort is being funded? We are not permitted to know whether the USA, UK or the EU are still providing arms and money to Ukraine? As the war grinds on is there any indication as to whether Ukraine can continue to find the man-power, arms or money to continue this war or has Zelensky mortgaged the entire catalogue of national assets to the major banks rather than admit defeat?

Furthermore war crimes have been committed, and are being committed, en masse by Ukraine, as evidenced, for example, in the Telegram channel “War Crimes in Ukraine” and tracked by Russian authorities: there will be all sorts of trials when the conflict is over. There is no doubt that Russian forces are also committing war crimes but extremely unlikely they, as eventual victors, will hold themselves to account. However the retribution demanded by Russia for Ukraines crimes is likely to be disproportionate, particularly as it is the Kiev regime that keeps escalating the war, and who will act as arbitrator between the two sides?

International law has no meaning whatsoever to USA that happily marches into any country on any occasion at the whim of its President. It was Donald Trump that drastically increased financial support and military aid to Ukraine during his first term; at the same time, CIA set up the 20 hidden bases on the Russian border to Ukraine, training Ukrainians to kill Russians.

Nobody has damaged Ukraine more than Zelensky who was voted into office (once) on the basis of, if necessary, going on his knees to achieve peace. As soon as he came into office, somehow everything changed (very common with today’s politicians) and he did an about-face, and hving led Ukraine into war is now doing all he can to prolong the slaughter. So bad are things in Ukraine now that even Zelensky's closest allies are calling on him to seek peace.

And should western governments go ahead and steal the $300 billion Russian investments – they are already stealing the interest – to compensate themselves for throwing away so much money on what was always a lost cause, just  watch the West’s financial collapse as the rest of the world sees how unsafe investments in this part of the world have become.

All in all, our leaders have immersed the world in a diabolical mess.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

Do Not Expect Much From The Russia - Ukraine - USA Peace Talks. The Nature Of War Has Changed

 In spite of delegates from Russia and Ukraine meeting with US officials in Saudi Arabia amid hopes finding a path to peace, as long as Ukraine keeps trying to dictate the terms of ceasefire when it is blatantly obvious Russia has the upper hand, while the slaughter on the front line may pause, as long as drones are available the conflict will go on.

The arrival of drones and other autonomous weapons technology has atered the nature of war forever.

Rustem Umerov, Ukraine’s defence minister, confirmed on Sunday that talks with the US had begun. The Ukrainian politician said he expected discussions to centre around proposals to protect energy facilities and critical infrastructure.

The Kremlin said a resumption of a Black Sea grain deal would be the “main” topic during its talks with the US on Monday. Some commentators in western mainstream media appear to have interpreted this as a surrender by Russia in the naval conflict but there is no evidence this is the case.

After separate calls with Mr Trump, both Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, and Mr Zelensky agreed in principle to pause attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure.

Mr Zelensky also previously agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire but Putin rejected this and shortly after agreeing to a partial pause in fighting, ordered an attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in the Donetsk region.

Ukraine later responded with attacks against several military targets, including the Kremlin’s Engels military airbase 700 miles deep inside Russia.

Mr Zelensky later admitted the ceasefire was unlikely to come into effect until it had been formally agreed in a document between the two countries.

Ukraine has reportedly prepared a list of targets to give to the US that would be off-limits during any partial truce. So business as usual from the stupid, trigger happy Ukies.

In The Daily Sceptic CGW writes:

The introduction of drones into modern warfare has indeed resulted in significant changes to military thinking – which the West has still to assimilate. It is, for example, interesting that Iran apparently considers the idea of an Air Force composed of incredibly expensive modern fighters to be outdated, preferring a huge fleet of inexpensive drones.

Drones result in massive casualties to both armoured vehicles and military personnel, which explains the slow and careful advance of Russian forces. Russia has certainly suffered significant manpower and equipment losses but so has Ukraine: the morbid count of bodies exchanged by both sides was last well in excess of 10:1, if I remember correctly.

The US strategy of weakening Russia has failed completely since Russia is now militarily and economically significantly stronger than before the SMO, despite – or one could argue – because of the sanctions from both USA and Europe.

“Neither the world nor Ukraine trusts Russia” is absolutely not true. Russia has always kept its word in agreements with Ukraine, including the recent agreement not to attack energy infrastructure (which was immediately broken by Ukraine). And the world outside the West is very happy to place its trust in economic relationships with the country.

Trump may, in the case of Russia alone, play the statesman and demand the two sides stop fighting but who are they fighting against? It is USA that started and continues this proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians and their country as abject, disposable pawns: to what purpose? Precisely how does USA benefit from a “strategy of weakening Russia”?

As I have written before, Russia is a major source of the world’s resources, would it not be more profitable for USA to encourage good relations with Russia rather than war against the country? Or do you mean Russia should be politically weakened, so that USA can continue playing bully boy in the world’s playground?

The world outside the West is tired of USA’s hegemony. USA has convinced its obedient subordinates in Europe to also wage war against Russia at great expense – again, to whose benefit? Does anyone in Europe benefit from this war? Are you going to once again claim that Russia is about to conquer all Europe, despite being supposedly so weak?

USA is also financing Israel to continue its genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and to continue bombing almost every neighbouring country: how sick and tired do you think the populations around the world are of USA today? The West is still subject to the propaganda pumped out by its mainstream media but that is not the case in the “Global South”. And now Europe is also experiencing just how little it is valued by USA but our glorious politicians are still stuck in their globalist world, much to our detriment.

Couldn't have put it better ourselves.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable.

Putin, Macron To Hold Urgent Talks To Halt Military Escalation In Ukraine

 

While President Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson continue to talk up the idea that Russia is committed to an invasion of Ukraine that could happen "within the next few days, (even though that next few days has stretched from late January all the way through February without any have evidence that Russia had any plans to invade,) French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in a phone call on Saturday, to take urgent measures to deescalate the situation in eastern Ukraine, the Elysee Palace announced in a statement on Sunday. 

 The two leaders  also discussed Putin's plan to withdraw Russian troops from Belarus now that President Likashenko is formly back in charge after a bid by 'unknown non - state actors' (i.e. the usual suspects',) failed bid to forment a colour revolution to overthrow the regime..

 Putin and Macron agreed to work within the 'Normandy format' - which will also include German and Ukrainian leadership - and will begin discussions "in the next few hours" in order to negotiate terms for a ceasefire in the Donbas region. (Picture: Zero Hedge)

As a result of the telephone discussion a meeting between French and Russian ministers of foreign affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian and Sergey Lavrov, will occur in the next few days. A statement issued by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs set out the scope for these negotiations.

"This diplomatic work should make it possible to progress on the basis of the latest exchanges by involving all the stakeholders (Europeans, allies, Russians and Ukrainians) in order to achieve, if the conditions are met, a meeting at the highest level in to define a new order of peace and security in Europe."

The Kremlin confirmed the statement, saying "it was agreed to continue contacts at various levels. Serious concern has been expressed over the sharp deterioration of the situation on the line of contact in Donbass. The President of Russia noted that the escalation has been caused by the provocations of the Ukrainian security forces," the Kremlin statement reads in translation.

According to RT, the Russian online news service that has strong links with The Kremlin, Putin brought up "the ongoing pumping of Ukraine with modern weapons and ammunition" by NATO countries, which is pushing Kiev "toward a military solution to the so-called Donbass problem." Because of the "intensifying shelling," citizens in self-proclaimed breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine had to evacuate Russia.

The Ukranian government in Kiev continues to accused America and Britain of hysteerical rhetoric as they continue to claim Russia plans an imminent invasion, but offer no evidence to back uo these claims other than pictures showing large numbers of Russian troops stationed withing 50 miles of the Ukraine border, which is exactly where they have been since 2014 when the Obama regime in washington backed by David Cameron's coalition UK goverrnment, draged us through a very similar exercise in warmongering. 

Separately from the Putin / Macron initiative,Russia and Belarus will extend their joint military exercises, according to Bloomberg report based on information from sources in the Belariusian Defense Ministry.

The training exercises were scheduled to finish on Sunday and Russia had said it would return its troops to their bases afterward. While those drills are in Belarus, which is north of Ukraine, the defense ministry statement cited the deteriorating situation in eastern Ukraine for the extension,, a likely reference to NATO’s recent deployment of more troops eastward. -Bloomberg

In the past week, since the shelling of an infants' school which may have been accidental or a false flag event according to various reports, fighting between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian  government forces in the breakaway Donbas region has escalated - with allegations of violations on both sides of a 2015 ceasefire, The Minsk agreement. 

According to Ukraine, the separatist leaders are increasing the rate of attacks, including on civilian targets, to force a response and create a pretext for a Russian invasion. Donbas leaders say they're responding to Ukraine firing on them.

New US Ambassador to UN sings the anti-Russia song while Kiev murders Donbass civilians.

The new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has expressed "strong condemnation of Russia's actions" in eastern Ukraine and warned that Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia will not be lifted until Crimea is returned to Kiev.

"Crimea is a part of Ukraine. Our Crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia returns control of the peninsula to Ukraine," she said on February 2 in her first public remarks before the Security Council since being sworn into office.

"Eastern Ukraine, of course, is not the only part of the country suffering because of Russia's aggressive actions. The United States continues to condemn and call for an immediate end to the Russian occupation of Crimea," Haley said.

The new American envoy said it was "unfortunate" that she had to condemn Russia in her first appearance before the council.

"We do want to better our relations with Russia," she said, but "the dire situation in eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of Russian actions."

In fact OSCE monitors have reported ceasefire violations have been committed by forces of the Kiev government, not the pro - Russian separatists in Donbass.

 Vitaly Churkin, echoing comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the day, told the UN council late on February 2 that Kyiv needs money which it "can swindle out of the European Union, certain European countries, and from the United States and from international financial institutions by pretending to be the victims of aggression."

"The essence of those events is quite clear: Kiev is trying to use the armed clashes that it provoked as a pretext for a complete rejection of the February 12, 2015, Minsk agreements, sealed by the UN Security Council resolution 2202," Churkin said in Russian, TASS reports.

He called for a cease-fire and return to implementation of the Minsk peace agreement.
