Spain closes airspace to US planes involved in war on Iran

WHITE HOUSE TELLS SPAIN: U.S. MILITARY ‘DOES NOT NEED YOUR HELP’

The announcement comes after Madrid refused to let Washington use jointly operated military bases for the US-Israel war on Iran.

US President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid after the Spanish government denied the US use of the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain, forcing 15 US aircraft to relocate.

Spain has also been a vocal critic of Israel’s  war on Gaza. In October, its parliament approved the enshrinement in law of a total arms embargo on Israel, permanently banning the sale of weapons, dual-use technology and military equipment.

  • The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound remains closed after it was shut to Muslim worshippers in late February. Israeli authorities extended the state of emergency until mid-April.
  • The Israeli parliament approved the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners accused of killing Israelis.

Iran did not start the war but has suffered ‘significant losses’

Fatemeh Mohajerani, a spokesperson for the Iranian government, says Iran has not started the war in which the country has endured “significant losses”, both in terms of human casualties and civilian homes and infrastructure.

She said compensation is one of the demands that should be discussed in any negotiations, adding that control over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions are other key matters to be taken into consideration.

“We are willing to move towards a sustainable peace,” she said.

Europe’s shameful appeasement of Iran

The truth behind the weak response of the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and other countries is far simpler: They refuse to accept that the only way to confront the ayatollahs is with force, plain and simple. The same mindset that produced the 2015 nuclear deal is ascendant now—namely, that military force is always wrong and counterproductive, and that what is needed is a return to soft power and diplomatic initiatives.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire after Donald Trump singled out Australia over its lack of involvement in the protection of the Strait of Hormuz.
Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said the Prime Minister must stand up and explain how Australia had been criticised by the president twice in a month.
“The US is our strongest defence ally, and so this is pretty grim news overnight from the United States,” Ms Henderson told Sky News Australia.
 
“This is just a pretty dire situation, and the Prime Minister, frankly, has got a lot of explaining to do.”

No wonder Mohammedans rule what was once great Britain.

Their idiot king never once visited Israel, but he loves cosplaying as an Arab sheik, oblivious to how ridiculous he looks in their costumes….

The Anglican Church went from Dick to Dyke in a New York minute, and the king, who holds the title “Defender of the Faith”, declared that he wants to be known as the “defender of faiths…”, which is just idiotic, knowing that islam doesn’t tolerate ‘the other’.

UK: Starmer calls for firing of shadow minister for calling Muslim public prayer an act of domination

‘Protected Status’ for Muslims — UK’s Lesson U.S. Can’t Ignore

In a development raising red flags across the Atlantic, Britain’s Labour government has appointed the UK’s first “anti-Muslim hostility tsar” and adopted a new definition of anti-Muslim hostility — reframed from “Islamophobia” — as part of its £4 million social cohesion strategy.

The definition describes such hostility as “a type of racism” targeting “expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness,” including prejudicial stereotyping that could incite hatred.

Officials claim it addresses record-high anti-Muslim hate crimes while protecting free speech. Critics, however, see it as a potential censorship tool that could limit scrutiny of Islamic extremism, grooming gangs, or integration challenges.

Chinese Containership Is First To Pay Iran For “Safe Passage” Through Strait As Iraqi Tanker Crosses With Signal Off

The blockaded Strait of Hormuz is getting progressively less “blockaded” by the day.

Over the weekend we reported that “Iran was Ready To Let Japanese Ships Use Hormuz As Chinese, Indian Tankers Already Allowed Passage.” We can now add Iraq to the growing list of nations whose vessels are transiting the infamous Strait.

An oil supertanker hauling two-million barrels of Iraq’s crude got through the Strait of Hormuz, the first vessel observed moving Baghdad’s barrels through the the vital waterway – according to Bloomberg – since it all but closed to commercial shipping because of the Iran war.

The Omega Trader, managed by Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd, signaled over the past few days that it reached Mumbai. Its prior signal before reaching the Indian port city had been from inside the Persian Gulf more than ten days ago, suggesting the tanker had shut off its tracking beacon while making the transit.

  • US President Donald Trump announced that discussions are ongoing with Iran to “determine whether a broader agreement can be reached”, saying that “this time, Iran means business; they want to settle. They want peace”.
  • Tehran denied that talks with the US are taking place, with Iran’s parliamentary speaker saying such claims are “fake news” and being “used to manipulate financial and oil markets”.

Trump, “International Law” & the Strait of Hormuz

Reporter: “what about the Strait of Hormuz, who is going to be in control of that?”

Trump: “uhhh, be jointly controlled …”

Reporter: “by who?” Trump: “maybe me … me and the Ayatollah”

In his latest comments to the press, President Trump reiterates the US and Iran had preliminary talks over the past few days, had very good discussions with Iran, and that’s why energy strikes were postponed temporarily. He described that this time, Iran means business, they want to settle, and Trump stresses “we will get it done I hope.” Meanwhile speculation and theories of secretive backchannel dealing abound.

Iran Says Talks With US Are ‘Fake News’ After Trump Threatens To ‘Just Keep Bombing’, Wants Hormuz To Be ‘Jointly Controlled’

Parliament speaker: “Iranian people demand complete & remorseful punishment of the aggressors.”“Violation of international law.”
“Dangerous escalation.”
“Deep concern.”
“Call for restraint.”

One could set a stopwatch to it.

This ritual has become a defining feature of modern geopolitics. International law appears not when militias are armed, not when rockets are fired, not when terrorist proxies expand across borders — but precisely when someone tries to stop them. The target of this sudden legal panic was the regime governing the Islamic Republic of Iran, a state whose regional strategy has long revolved around funding proxy groups and projecting power through militant networks.

Yet the debate quickly shifted away from those realities and toward something far more urgent: Whether Israel and the United States had filled out the correct legal paperwork before acting. It is a curious inversion. The regimes least constrained by international law invoke it most loudly, while the countries that actually take the law seriously are the ones most frequently accused of violating it.

And so the question lingers.

If international law only appears the moment someone stops the arsonist, what exactly is it protecting?

Polls Show MAGA, GOP Overwhelmingly Back Trump’s Iran OP ‘Epic Fury’

Make Hormuz golden again

Dykes in the Kitchen?

Anti-DEI commentators have tried to create the impression that female agents were not only too short but somehow less prepared and responsive than their male counterparts. Evoking traditional gender roles, some mocked the women as belonging in the kitchen.Female Secret Service Agent Who Didn’t Secure Roof of AGR Building at Butler Rally on Day of Trump Assassination Attempt Suspended AGAIN – Hid Marriage to Foreign National

Why are there even ANY women agents “protecting” the  POTUS, let alone an overweight lesbian DEI hire?  I guess we all know why this unqualified rookie agent was put in charge of the Butler detail: the Swamp wanted Trump assassinated.

Myosoty “Miyo” Perez was one of the agents who failed to secure Trump’s July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

President Trump  banned Perez from getting anywhere near him.

Perez was one of the female agents seen fumbling with her firearm and struggling to holster her gun following the assassination attempt.

The agency is investigating whether Perez’s partner was actually in the US illegally and overstayed her visa.

This is the third time that Perez has been suspended in the last year-and-a-half.

“Despite the ongoing congressional investigations and internal Secret Service review of her role in the Butler failures, Perez quietly married a Brazilian foreign national last April without notifying the agency, according to a copy of her marriage certificate located on the Brevard County public records website and according to sources familiar with the timing of when she informed the agency of her marriage. Upon learning of the marriage, the agency suspended her and issued an internal “Do Not Admit” notice,” RealClear Politics reported.

Iran Threatens the World

U.S. and Israeli leaders maintain weeks of strikes have decimated Iran’s military.

Airstrikes have also eliminated its supreme leader, the head of its Supreme National Security Council and a host of other top-ranking military and political leaders, as Breitbart News reported.

Regime thugs are getting desperate:

Recreational and tourist sites worldwide will now be a target for Iran’s aggression and what remains of the Islamic state’s leadership further added Friday it is still building missiles.

Even so, Tehran’s arrogant defiance knows no bounds.

“We are producing missiles even during war conditions, which is amazing, and there is no particular problem in stockpiling,” spokesman Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini was quoted as saying in Iran’s state-run IRAN newspaper.

Naeini added Iran had no intention of seeking a quick end to the war. “These people expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted,” he said.

A short time after the statement was released, Iranian state television said Naeini was killed in an airstrike.
