Trump on Iran’s nuclear stash: “If anybody got near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up”

Iran replies to US proposal to end war, Trump finds response ‘unacceptable’

Iran had a chance to move toward peace. Instead, Tehran tried to turn Trump’s proposal into a payoff.

Trump says US will not allow Iran to reach enriched uranium

US president says Washington has the nuclear material in Iran ‘surveilled’ and will ‘blow up’ anyone who gets near it.

President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will target any Iranian trying to reach the country’s highly enriched uranium, saying that the nuclear material is under constant surveillance by the US military.

In an interview with the syndicated TV show Full Measure that aired on Sunday, Trump appeared to play down the significance of the uranium, which is believed to be buried under the rubble of nuclear facilities, remaining in Iran for now.

“We’ll get that at some point, whenever we want. We have it surveilled,” Trump said.

“I did a thing called Space Force, and they are watching. If somebody walked in, they can tell you his name, his address, the number of his badge … If anybody got near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up.” Continue reading Trump on Iran’s nuclear stash: “If anybody got near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up”

Trump Rejects Iran’s Latest Response as ‘Totally Unacceptable’ — ‘They Will Be Laughing No Longer’

Looks like we’re back in a hot war with the mullah regime.

“They’ll Be Laughing No Longer”: Trump Rejects Iran Peace Deal Response As “Totally Unacceptable”

Iran had been “playing games with the United States, and the rest of the world, for 47 years…”

President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest response to the American offer to end the conflict as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” warning Tehran it would “be laughing no longer” after reports indicated the regime refused key U.S. nuclear demands while pushing for sanctions relief, frozen assets, an end to the naval blockade, and control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran submitted its response Sunday through Pakistani mediators following nearly 10 days of deliberations over the latest American proposal, which reportedly centered on ending hostilities, restoring maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and opening a roughly 30-day negotiation window over Tehran’s nuclear program, uranium enrichment activities, and stockpile of highly enriched uranium — issues Trump has repeatedly insisted must end with Iran permanently barred from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Israel destroys Yemeni international airport following attack on Ben Gurion

Iran huffs & puffs:

Iran warned European countries not to join the United States and Israel in the war against Tehran, saying any government that participates in the campaign could face retaliation.

Update:

Several foreign airlines such as Germany’s national carrier Lufthansa have suspended flights to Tel Aviv following the Houthi air strike that hit the Ben Gurion International Airport.

Update:

Israeli warplanes strike Sana’a International Airport in Yemen’s Houthi-occupied capital city, destroying the passenger hall and other buildings, and bombs power station days after a Houthi missile exploded outside Israel’s largest airport.

By David Rosenberg, World Israel News

Israeli warplanes on Tuesday afternoon bombed multiple targets in the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a, days after pro-Iranian rebel forces in Yemen launched a missile that exploded next to Israel’s largest air travel hub.

According to preliminary reports, IDF fighter jets struck the Dhaban power station, just outside of Sana’a, along a power distribution facility and a cement factory.

In addition, Israeli warplanes hit the Sana’a International Airport.

Multiple aircraft were destroyed in the strike, and the passenger hall and flight service areas were also hit.

At least two dozen hits have been reported in the Israeli airstrikes.

The attacks came shortly after the Israeli military warned Yemen of an impending attack on the Sana’a International Airport, calling for its evacuation.

IDF Col. Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s chief Arabic spokesperson, issued an “urgent warning to everyone in the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport: We urge you to evacuate the airport area immediately and to warn others nearby to do the same. Failure to do so endangers your lives.”

IDF Strikes Hezbollah in Beirut, Kills ‘High-Ranking’ Hezbollah Commander

Israel bombs Beirut’s southern suburb as it targets Hezbollah commander

It was the first attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs since a truce in the Israel-Hezbollah war went into force on April 17.

Lebanon

Israeli forces have bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs and claim to have assassinated eliminated Malek Balou, a commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force.

“Israeli warplanes launched an attack, targeting Ghobeiri” in the southern suburbs, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported, as a loud explosion and extensive damage were reported from the area.

The Israel Defense Forces identified the target as Malek Balou, a commander in the group’s elite special operations unit.

 AFP:  “Malek Ballout, the operations commander in the Radwan Force,” was killed in the Israeli strike.

This action follows a series of Israeli operations against Hezbollah leadership earlier in 2026. In April, Israeli forces killed Haj Youssef Ismail Hashem, commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, in a naval strike on Beirut. Other strikes targeted intelligence officials and aides close to Hezbollah’s senior leadership.

  • Israel bombed Beirut in an expansion of attacks on Lebanon and in the first strike on the Lebanese capital since a “ceasefire”, in name only, came into force on April 17.
  • Israeli forces have consistently violated the ceasefire with retaliated and on Wednesday killed at least 13 people in attacks across the country, including claiming to have targeted eliminating a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike on Beirut.

“The IDF has just struck in Beirut the commander of the Radwan Force in the Hezbollah terror organization to eliminate him.”

  • Hamas has condemned Israel’s attacks on Gaza, calling the daily bombings and growing death toll a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement” and a continuation of Israel’s “war of extermination” in the Palestinian territory.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the attack, saying he and Defence Minister Israel Katz had instructed the army to carry out the attack.

“Radwan terrorists are responsible for shooting at Israeli settlements and harming [Israeli army] soldiers. No terrorist has immunity – Israel’s long hand will catch every enemy and murderer,” Netanyahu said in a post on Telegram.

Spain: Great Replacement Continues

Spain Gave $2bn to Illegal Migrants in 2025, But Spent Just $70m on Border Protection

The Spanish government spent over €1.8 billion of taxpayers’ money last year attending to the needs of illegal migrants in the country, while spending only a tiny fraction of that, €60 million, funding efforts to stop them from arriving in the first place.

Of the € 1.8 billion Out of that €60 million, the Spanish Interior Ministry barely spent €20 million last year to reinforce border security. Of the € 1.8 billion spent to support migrants once they have arrived in Spain, the costs are widely spread across the state.

Stop, for god’s sake stop, importing trouble and Muslim immigrants, as a whole, necessarily mean trouble, in all lands where the political and legal institutions, and social arrangements, are flatly contradicted by the Shari’a. Muslims are obligated to change or tear down those institutions, in order to remove all “obstacles to Islam.” It is not special or individual malice that prompts that attitude. That is their duty, a central duty. Why not come to fully and soberly understand that duty, and out of a minimal sense of self-preservation, cease to import those into our lands (America, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and every other place that has so generously admitted, under a twisted definitiion of “refugees,” people who do not, and can not, wish our ways or institutions or constitutions well.

In his recent rhetoric, the Prime Minster of Spain- Pedro Sanchez is very concentrated on Israel.
Why?
After all, until not very long ago he maintained the regular ties with Israel in agriculture, technology and cybersecurity and used rhetoric similar to the one coming out of most of the European countries. Continue reading Spain: Great Replacement Continues

World Starts To “Build” Around Hormuz

Gold Jumps, Dollar Dumps As AMD & Imminent Iran Deal Lift Stocks & Bonds, Sink Oil

US crude oil futures rose by approximately $1 in early Thursday trading as investors weighed the prospects of a potential peace deal in the US-Israel war on Iran.

German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd says the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is costing it about $60m per week in fuel and insurance costs, as it remains too risky to send its vessels through the strategic waterway, AFP reports.

World Starts To “Build” Around Hormuz; Japan Buying UAE Oil Bypassing Strait As ADNOC To Spend $55 Billion On Pipelines

“Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it…“

Long after the Iran war is just a bookmark in the history books, one distinct consequence will persist: much of the world, at least the part that does not fall under the Chinese sphere of influence, will do everything it can to avoid the Strait of Hormuz and failing that, have a Plan B. Just like when the Biden admin weaponized the US Dollar in 2022 by booting Russia from SWIFT after the Ukraine war, and in the process started the biggest gold and bitcoin rally in history as the rest of the world parked its savings in non-USD assets, so the world’s most important oil choke point will never again be viewed again in the same way after Iran launched dozens of rockets at the ships transiting it. 

This shift in perception is what James Thorne, chief market strategist of WellingtonAltus, called “Iran’s Historic Mistake“; he explains it as follows: 

By weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran committed a strategic blunder of historic proportions. Tehran meant to punish America. Instead, it exposed every power built on imported energy, vulnerable sea lanes, and the delusion that globalization repealed geography. China is exposed. Europe is exposed. Britain is exposed. Iran has created a world where hard resource power decides outcomes.

And the punchline:

Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it. That means bypass corridors, revived pipeline politics, and urgent planning for routes linking Aqaba to Mediterranean outlets near Gaza and the long-stalled Basra-to-Aqaba pipeline. The old energy order is cracking. The UAE’s OPEC exit signals cartel discipline giving way to national advantage under pressure.

Trump knows what goes on behind the scenes:

Pezeshkian Faces Fierce Attacks as Crises Fuel Factional Warfare in Tehran

Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian regime’s president, surrounded by state-affiliated reporters amid mounting political attacks from rival factions

The Iranian regime’s president Masoud Pezeshkian is under mounting fire from rival factions, with senior regime media, IRGC-linked outlets, and political figures openly questioning his competence and loyalty after recent foreign policy remarks. The unusually sharp attacks reflect a leadership consumed by internal mistrust as Tehran grapples with simultaneous domestic unrest, regional losses, and international pressure—an environment where even small deviations from the Supreme Leader’s line are treated as threats to the regime’s survival.

Flames and smoke erupt from a burning structure, highlighting the intensity of the fire in a dark environment.

United Arab Emirates Says Iran Launched New Drone and Missile Attacks for the Second Consecutive Day

On May 4:

  • The UAE said it intercepted 15 missiles and four drones fired from Iran, marking the first time it had been targeted since the US-Iran ceasefire on April 8.
  • US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran should “pay a price” for closing the Strait of Hormuz and that the US’s Operation Epic Fury has achieved its objectives.
  • For a second day straight, the UAE says its air defence systems have been engaged in shooting down missiles and drones launched from Iran.
  • A spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has claimed that its armed forces have not carried out any missile or drone operations against the UAE in recent days.
  • US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to “do the smart thing” and make a deal, while Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has said the ceasefire with Iran is “not over” despite the escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The Israeli military has launched new air attacks on southern Lebanon while issuing forced displacement orders for two more towns, as Hezbollah claims attacks in response.

Iran rejects claims it targeted UAE, says attack was aimed at US

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson has denied the UAE’s allegation that it fired missiles and drones at it, saying Tehran’s actions were “exclusively” directed at the US.

The ministry said in a statement that Iran would not “spare any action in taking the necessary and appropriate measures to defend its interests and national security”.

Rubio says US aims to restore Hormuz status ‘to the way it was’

Rubio says Washington’s preference is that the Strait of Hormuz goes “back to the way it was”.

That means “anyone can use it, no mines in the water and nobody paying tolls,” he said.

Rubio says US in touch with numerous shipping liners about Hormuz movement

Here are more remarks from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio from the White House:

  • The US has been in contact “with a bunch” of shipping liners about helping them move through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • “We hope to continue improving the security situation, and we’ll start to see some of that movement.”
  • A peace deal between the Israeli and Lebanese governments is “achievable”, but Rubio claims that Hezbollah is the “problem”.
  • The US hopes that Lebanon’s armed forces will develop the capacity to challenge and disarm Hezbollah.
  • As for restoring a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, “it’s not going to be easy… we’re going to do everything we can to make sure both sides continue to talk so that progress can be made”.

Obama claims that Trump’s return to the White House demands that he stay on the front lines and fight

The hide & the hubris of this clown is off the charts.

Trump Ballroom $400 million: no tax payer dollars used.

Obama Library: over $650 million in tax payer dollars used and it is still not finished. So why does anyone even care? Because liberal media told them to care….

Democrats are puppets of liberal media. The Biden library is only accessible online.

The remarkable thing about the Obama presidential library is that it contains neither books nor documents from the Obama administration. None. Just a brutalist, forbidding architectural monument to the self-absorbed chief executive between Bush II and Trump. Plus gift shop.
