China Turning on Tehran over Hormuz?

CENTCOM confirmed a new round of airstrikes against Iranian targets late on Wednesday, following Trump’s comments on further talks.

Explosions in southern Iran after Tehran hits Gulf states and Jordan

  • Explosions have been reported across southern Iran by state media and local officials, including near the Bushehr nuclear facility.
  • Despite the blasts, a US official has told Al Jazeera that the country’s army has not carried out strikes on Iran in the last several hours.
  • Iran said earlier that it attacked “US bases and strategic centres” in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar after the US bombedIranian cities for a second consecutive night.

China Demands Iran ‘Follow Through’ on U.S. Peace Deal, Signaling Frustration with Horm

The US military refutes claims by Iranian state media regarding shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, affirming that Iran does not control the strategic waterway.

In a post on X, CENTCOM said that “Iranian state media claims that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is only permitted through routes designated by Iran” is a “CLAIM” and that the “TRUTH” is “Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz”.

The command further stated that “since early May, US forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor”.

China Turning on Tehran over Hormuz?

The Chinese Foreign Ministry lamented the resurgence of violence between Iran and the United States on Wednesday, urging both countries to “follow through on their memorandum of understanding” and “avoid resorting to force.”

Demands Iran ‘Follow Through’ on U.S. Peace Deal

China regularly condemns America for alleged belligerence on the geopolitical stage; the Foreign Ministry choosing to demand equal respect for their current peace agreement from Washington and Tehran is notable, however. Beijing referred to the hostilities as a matter that its close ally and prominent oil supplier Iran was equally responsible for rather than blaming the United States exclusively.

Speaking to reporters during her regular briefing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning stated that China was “closely following” recent hostilities related to Iran and discouraged military escalation.

“Reigniting the conflict does not serve any party’s interests. Military means cannot solve the fundamental issue,” Mao asserted. “We call on the U.S. and Iran to follow through on their memorandum of understanding, resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and avoid resorting to force.”

Mao’s statement did not blame the United States for the violence or exonerate Iran for its participation.

Somali Gangsters Call Law Enforcement ‘Dangerous’

Here’s a video

More proof that Muslims should never be allowed into any country that wants to remain civilised.

Fact is, if the U.S. hadn’t imported these third world savages, there would be 12 fewer gangs in Minneapolis, not to mention the billions in fraud that would have been saved. Nothing Somalis contribute to the US that is a net positive for the country…

CAIR-MN Calls Sheriff’s Somali Gang Warning ‘Dangerous’ as Law Enforcement Tracks 12 Somali Gangs in Twin Cities Metro

A Ramsey County sheriff’s warning about Somali gangs in the Twin Cities drew criticism from CAIR-MN and Minneapolis City Council Vice President Jamal Osman, even as one law enforcement officer said he is tracking 12 Somali gangs in the metro area and another called for “law enforcement, community members, and faith leaders” to work together on a solution.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is facing pushback after using his social media show, Live on Patrol, to address what KSTP-TV described as a serious Somali gang problem in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

KSTP-TV reported that Fletcher’s video received tens of thousands of views and prompted backlash from Somali community leaders. Reporter Ben Henry said the station had questions for Fletcher and was told the sheriff was available for an interview, but when the crew arrived at the sheriff’s office that morning, they were told he was not available.

In the video, Fletcher said, “Before you start fixing the problem, first you have to identify what it is. We got a huge list of criminal activity, but having said that, we’re not indicting the whole community.”

KSTP described Fletcher’s remarks as addressing Somali gang violence and reported that law enforcement officials were investigation weekend shootings in Minneapolis involving gang members. One shooting killed a man, while another wounded multiple people and reportedly involved automatic gunfire.

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Somali gang investigator Jama Shine said, “This needs to stop.”

Another officer said, “Right now, I’m tracking 12 different Somali gangs in the metro.” Continue reading Somali Gangsters Call Law Enforcement ‘Dangerous’

US Military Releases Footage of Powerful Strikes Against Iran (VIDEO)

US President Donald Trump has once again turned his focus to Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub, after declaring an interim ceasefire with Iran “over” and warning the US was preparing more strikes.

Trump told the Financial Times that his “preference would be to take the oil” in Iran and that US forces could seize Iran’s export hub at Kharg Island.

Kharg is a 22-square-kilometre (8.5-square-mile) coral outcrop in Iran’s Bushehr province. Closely guarded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), entry to the island is restricted to those with official security clearance.

Kharg processes 90 percent of Iran’s total oil exports, handling approximately 1.5 million barrels every day.

On March 14, Trump announced that the US Air Force had bombed Iranian military facilities on the island.

“For reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

True or false? Mass migration leads to “crime and a deterioration of our quality of life”

The truth is ‘hate speech’ and hereby VERBOTEN!

Because it creates a “hostile atmosphere of us versus them” when it comes to illegal migrants.

Belgian Court Rules ‘Factually Correct’ Remarks Can Be Hate Speech

Truth is now criminal hate speech if used to “incite hatred,” according to a Belgian court. 

The ruling came in the case of anti-migration activist Dries Van Langenhove, who said in a post on X that, “it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge’s frustration.”

Van Langenhove’s conviction was based on a lecture given in 2024 at Catholic University Leuven, in which he linked mass migration to “crime and a deterioration of our quality of life.”

He said, “Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.”

The judge, however, in his ruling, said, “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

According to Van Langenhove, the judge and prosecutor did not dispute the facts in his speech but said he created a “hostile atmosphere of us versus them” regarding migrants. 

It is Van Langenhove’s second hate speech conviction, and he faces another court case in September. 

He claims there are a dozen active criminal investigations against him for hate speech and has already paid more than 420 thousand euros ($489,000) in legal fees.

DemRats Showcase How Much They Despise America: from ‘Great Satan’ to Denouncing Declaration of Independence

Democrat candidates and incumbent lawmakers have not been shy when it comes to bashing the country that allowed them to make it to their privileged positions.

As Americans gear up to celebrate the incredible milestone of 250 years of American grit and freedom, several far-leftists have spent the last several years using their positions of power to bash the land of opportunity. It certainly is a time of celebration for the vast majority of Americans, and while patriotism often overshadows the negativity — particularly right ahead of Independence Day — it is important for Americans to remember what they are up against in the constant battle to keep America free.
