🇮🇱⫽🇺🇸 April 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington to meet President Donald Trump, fresh from a stop in Budapest on April 6.
Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orbán, who hosted Netanyahu yesterday, rejects the ICC’s authority—a stance shared by the United States, which isn’t part of the court’s 124-member coalition.
The U.S. has a history with it—back in 2020, it imposed sanctions on ICC officials probing American actions in Afghanistan, a move reversed by Biden in 2021.
Israel, also not an ICC member, faces no legal obligation to comply, yet 124 countries could detain Netanyahu if he steps onto their soil—Yet.
The 🇺🇸 and 🇮🇱 critique the ICC’s legitimacy when it targets their interests, yet both have supported its rulings against adversaries.
The talks focus on trade and Iran, but they come as the International Criminal Court (ICC) pursues Netanyahu under a November 2024 arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza.
Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orbán, who hosted Netanyahu yesterday, rejects the ICC’s authority—a stance shared by the United States, which isn’t part of the court’s 124-member coalition.
Here’s something to know:“The ICC, based in The Hague, investigates war crimes globally, but its reach depends on cooperation.”
The U.S. has a history with it—back in 2020, it imposed sanctions on ICC officials probing American actions in Afghanistan, a move reversed by Biden in 2021.
“Now, with Netanyahu’s visit, whispers of renewed U.S. pressure on the court will be surfacing.”

🇺🇸\🇮🇷 Muscat, Oman—Indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran have begun in Oman, mediated by Omani officials.
The discussions center only on Iran’s nuclear program, as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has made clear.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has forbidden any talk of the country’s missile program or its ties to regional groups, viewing these as matters of sovereignty.
The U.S., according to sources, may consider concessions to reach an agreement, hoping to limit Iran’s nuclear activities.
Oman's hosting, but no real appetite for compromise. Iran won’t bend on missiles, US won’t lift sanctions. Just shadowboxing until someone blinks.

Yet Iran remains guarded, remembering the U.S. abandonment of the 2015 nuclear deal, which led to harsh sanctions and pushed Iran to advance its uranium enrichment, now close to weapons-gradeYears of U.S. policies, including economic pressure and regional interventions, deepen Iran’s doubts about fair negotiations.
“We won’t allow negotiations on what we consider our red lines,” said a senior Iranian official, hinting at Iran’s firm stance on missile capabilities and regional alliances.Iranian reports note a hint of progress in early exchanges, but Tehran demands sanctions relief and respect as equals, wary of repeating past disappointments.

🇱🇧⫽ 🎞 I keep returning to this footage—
Tyre, South Lebanon. Ṣūr (صور) 1914. The light catching the edges of stones that have seen empires rise and fall. The camera trembles slightly, as if hesitant to commit what it sees to history.
I wasn’t there. I don’t know the smell of the sea that day, or the conversations lost to the wind. But some silences are louder than others.
What was taken wasn’t only land. It was the right to mundanity. To boredom. To a life where 'home' wasn’t a contested word.
I have no right to their grief—"Yet to look away is its own violence."
The past doesn’t whisper. It waits.
Not for vengeance—
for witness.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s an unpaid debt.

"The Levant could have been—no. That’s the wrong tense. The Levant was."
"It was a living thing before it was carved into segments, before Zionism rewrote not just borders but time itself."

🇺🇸⫽🇮🇷 Meanwhile: Trump’s April 7 claim of “direct talks” collapsed instantly—Iran corrected it to indirect. The lie wasn’t a slip; it was a test. Can we still gaslight the world? The answer: Not anymore.
His “great danger” threat? Same script as 2018—when ripping up the nuclear deal lit this fire. Recycling failed tactics isn’t strategy; it’s the arrogance of power refusing to learn.
— Iran’s “resistance” alliances strain under sanctions and brinkmanship
— Civilians—not just leaders—absorb the fallout
Power thinks it can bluff its way out of accountability. But every lie weakens the house of cards. When delusion drives policy, collapse isn’t an “if”—it’s physics.

🇮🇷⫽🇸🇦⫽🇶🇦⫽🇰🇼 Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have secretly told Tehran: No U.S. warplanes will take off from their soil—no bombers, no refueling, no reconnaissance missions.
The Gulf is folding fast—fallout from TP2. They’ve seen Iran’s reach and understand the stakes. Their oil infrastructure is the first to burn in any escalation.
Self-preservation takes priority, with Saudi Arabia exporting 7 million barrels per day and Qatar 1.3 million. The attacks on OIL Co. were a lesson—one they haven’t forgotten.
