🇮🇷🇺🇸| Pezeshkian’s speech at the UNGA yesterday single-handedly neutralised all the efforts by the US with their fake Reuters & Kyodo propaganda to lower oil prices.
Brent is up to $105.

Again I must sing Pezeshkian’s praises, and admit I was over reacting during the initial reviews about Aragchi’s meeting.

Lebanon’s slow partition between Ankara and Tel Aviv
The most durable partitions need neither rulers nor treaties. In Lebanon, selective state-building and managed paralysis are beginning to perform the work of borders.

🇾🇪🇸🇦| For the first time, Yemen targeted the Tabuk region with missiles, near Jordan.
This region is home to one of the largest and most important airbases of the Saudi army, and in fact, one of the Saudi’s five main airbases.
It remains to be seen what specific target the Yemeni army was aiming for with this attack, despite being located ~ 2000km away.

🇮🇶✍️🇺🇸 Iraqi and US officials signed an agreement for the full handover of the facility known as “Camp Victory”, located at Baghdad International Airport.
The document was signed to formally transfer the diplomatic support facility (Victoria Base), situated within the Baghdad International Airport complex, to Iraq.
The Victory Base, a sprawling complex surrounding the Baghdad International Airport, was considered one of the most important military and support installations for US forces in Iraq.
**While this is a step in the right direction, Washington controls many key aspects of the Iraqi government including economy, energy, Forex, trade and rearmament.

irrelevant whining from me
Can I say, I always dread going through this channel to report news here. I’ve used some of their analysis when I feel it’s relavent, but God do I hate going through this cesspit of Nazi dogwhistles with every 6th post or something.
It does irreparable damage to my psyche.
I don’t understand how will the US keep control of Iraqi oil after they’ve withdrawn. Can’t Iraq just nationalize, I mean, if there are no US boots on the ground the oil will go where they please no? Or is the current state so CIA infested that it wont be possible?
From my understanding, the US has Control over Iraq’s assets and treasury. Withholding funding of oil that Iraq has sold is the main way the US forces Iraq to submit to their demands. I forget the exact mechanism unfortunately, but essentially, the US can just freeze Iraqi assets whenever it wants.
❗️Norway announces additional $13.2 million in aid to occupied Palestinian territories
Norway’s government said on Thursday that it will provide an additional 125 million Norwegian crowns ($13.17 million) in aid to the occupied Palestinian territories through the UN and the World Bank, including support for the Palestinian public sector budget.
Norway recognized a Palestinian state in 2024 and currently chairs the international donor group for the Palestinians. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said the need for international assistance was “greater than ever” and criticized Jewish settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.
Norway is providing around 1 billion Norwegian crowns ($100 million) in aid to the Palestinians in 2026.
Do they not get how stupid this is? They spend a bunch of money on shit that will sit in trucks at the border until israeli backed gangs steal it. Stop sending money. Sanction israel.
⭕️ Ten commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, up from seven the previous day but below the 10-day moving average of around 17 vessels, preliminary shipping data showed on Thursday.
Nine vessels entered the strait, including Supramax ships carrying metals, grain and other dry bulk cargo, along with an empty very large gas carrier. One Supramax vessel carrying fertilizer exited the waterway, according to data available as of 04:23 GMT on Thursday.
The figures do not include vessels that may have transited the strait with their transponders switched off to avoid detection.
Meanwhile, 27 commodity vessels transited the Bab al-Mandab Strait on Wednesday, up from 24 a day earlier and slightly above the waterway’s 10-day average of 26 vessels.
🇮🇷🇹🇲🇹🇯| The Iranian Varesh Airlines plane that diverted and returned to Tehran this morning, is now heading to Dushanbe again.
Turkmenistan is still denying access to its airspace, so it’s interesting to see which alternative route the plane is going to try.

It’s flying over the Caspian Sea likely going to fly over Kazachstan and/or Uzbekistan.

THIS IS BAD REPORTING
China sent over 1,000 shipments of missile, drone parts to Iran in 2026: Report
Iran recently vowed that it would use ‘new weapons’ against ‘new targets’ if it came under a renewed attack
https://t.me/thecradlemedia/68373
Why this reporting is dogshit
The source the Cradle article uses is the Wall Street Journal, already, this is a red flag, and not the good kind. In regards to the specific claims made, the WSJ says that increased cargo flights from China to Iran have been happening in the year. Then it uses fucking ynet, (and Israeli source) to say that China and Iran are increasing military cooperation. Again, both of these sources are basically an imperialist mouthpiece, but besides that their is a significantly more pressing issue I have with their claim.
The increased cargo flights are happening… AT THE SAME TIME AS A US BLOCKADE! The US is imposing an illegal naval blockade onto Iran, so if China had prior agreements with Iran, wouldn’t it make logical sense that other means I’d transportation would increase to compensate? There is nothing in the article that works as definitive evidence that China is militarily supporting Iran, that can’t also be explained, more rationally, that Iran’s domestic defense architecture I’d well equipped for this confrontation?
I’m not saying China isn’t helping Iran at all, but this just comes off as the imperialists trying to downplay and deny Iranian advancement at forward thinking.
The fact that the Cradle is reporting on it like this is objectionable. Even if it’s obviously from a pro-resistance perspective, it still falls into the trap of legitmizing bourgeois imperialist media. It does nothing more than try to sell a feel good story to anti-imperialists, rather than dismantling how this narritive is flawed in the first place.
