🇮🇱⫽🇺🇸 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.
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 authoritya 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.”

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.

🇸🇩⫽🇮🇷⫽🇸🇦⫽🇦🇪 Interesting note

Iran’s role in Sudan’s defense pivot—supplying drones and possibly missiles, with Yemeni engineers digging in 100 km north of Khartoum.

Geologically, Sudan’s loose, sedimentary plains aren’t ideal for deep bunkers; shallow, reinforced drone hangars make more sense given the high water table.

Strategically, Iran’s pushing asymmetric tools—drones fit Sudan’s local threats better than long-range missiles, which feel like overkill.

If Yemenis are involved, it’s a sign of Iran’s tech transfer, but Sudan’s fractured terrain, human and geological, caps how deep this goes.

All that to ensure, this costs the Saudis and Emiratis more than they’re willing to afford.

Hi fam, I’m back. Apologies for being away—I needed a personal break. Ready to dive back in with the same energy and focus. Let’s get to it.

🇾🇪🇾🇪⫽🇦🇪⫽🇺🇸 I’m Troubled Tonight—

Word came through the Wall Street Journal: the UAE-backed Yemen’s “government” [PLC] is mulling a ground assault on the Houthis [AnsarAllah], banking on U.S. bombs having softened them.

The UAE’s keen to march into Houthi lands out west; Washington’s listening but hasn’t committed.

Saudi Arabia’s stepping back, stung too many times by Houthi reprisals to risk it again.

I keep turning over the past in my mind. The Saudis tried this game from 2015 to 2022relentless airstrikes, blockades, all with U.S. and UAE backing. What did it gain? The AnsarAllah still hold Sana’a, their grip tight, following salvos towards Israel now 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think of Egypt in the ‘60s, bogged down in Yemen’s hills, outfought by tribes with little more than grit.

If the UAE pushes this, they’re misreading the board. The AnsarAllah know every ridge, every village; they don’t need fancy gear to bleed an invader dry.

I’ve seen it elsewhereHamas in Gaza.

You, reading this: study what makes a people stand unbowed. That’s where the real fight lies, not in some general’s plan.
🇺🇸\🇮🇷 Muscat, OmanIndirect 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.
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-grade
Years 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.

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.

🇶🇦⫽🇦🇪⫽🇮🇱 Qatar and the UAE recently joined Israel in the Iniochos 2025 air exercise in Greece, held from March 31 to April 11, 2025, at Andravida Air Base.

This multinational drill saw over 60 aircraft and 1,000 personnel from countries like the「🇺🇸, 🇫🇷, 🇮🇳, 🇮🇹, 🇲🇪, 🇵🇱, 🇸🇮, 🇪🇸, and 🇧🇭」 alongside Greece’s Hellenic Air Force.

Qatar brought F-15 jets, the UAE sent Mirage 2000-9s, and Israel contributed a G-550 spy plane.

The exercise focused on advanced air combat training, testing tactics in realistic scenarios across the Aegean, with Greece deploying F-16s, Rafales, and more.

The last Iniochos, in 2023, also included Israel and the UAE.

🇮🇷❗: EnemyWatch nailed it—Iran’s role in the resistance isn’t just participation; it’s foundational. Decades of sacrifice have forged a nation that doesn’t bend. Shaykh Naim Qassim said it today: “We are all indebted to Iran.” He’s right. Since Imam Khomeini’s revolution, Iran has stared down empires, its resolve a quiet riddle to those obsessed with power/Control/Greed.

Psychologically, this isn’t blind stubbornness—it’s faith meeting strategy. Islam preaches patience under fire; Iran lives it, turning hardship into strength. Philosophically, it’s defiance with purpose. Where others see ruin, Iran sees meaning—a deliberate stand against a world hooked on control. Think of Badr: outmatched, overlooked, yet victorious.

The noise from analysts like Ritter or Hinkle? It’s a distraction, a shallow echo of Western doubt. Yes, the U.S. and its allies press hard—assassinations, economic chains—but they misjudge. Attrition bends what it can’t break; Iran’s spirit doesn’t bow. Imam Khamenei’s “We are ready” isn’t a boast—it’s a fact, carved from years of grit—backed by history/Promise.

Iran’s reach isn’t loud—but it’s deep. Ideas of sovereignty ripple out, unsettling the mighty, from Yemen to Lebanon. The West sees a target; I see a lesson in courage. Nasrallah and Qaani’s martyrdom isn’t loss—it’s fuel. In Islam, the martyr lives on, driving the fight. Silence doesn’t mean weakness; it’s wisdom—a wise who know.

Iran stands not for pity but for awe—a nation that knows its why.

I wonder too. States make peace when it suits their interests, not to right past wrongs. For Riyadh, reconciliation with Tehran may serve new priorities.

But the destruction left in Yemen will not be undone by a handshake. Those costs remain — whether they are spoken of or not.
🇸🇦⫽🇮🇷 A Turn in Iran-Saudi Relations—

Today something important happened, though how lasting it will be, I cannot say yet.

Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Defense, Prince Khalid bin Salman, made a surprise visit to Tehran, meeting both Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and President Masoud Pezeshkian. It’s the highest-level Saudi visit to Iran in many years, and it deserves attention.

Prince Khalid spoke in person:
"From now on, I say openly and with pride the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia considers Iran a friend, brother, and honorable neighbor."

Ayatollah Khamenei responded by emphasizing that regional powers must rely on each other, not outsiders. He offered Iran’s support to Saudi Arabia as "Islamic brothers", a choice of words that is deliberate and carries weight in this region.

Prince Khalid, described Iran as "a cornerstone of regional security" and calling for Islamic unity against "the occupation and expansionism practiced by the Zionist entity."
He also confirmed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman plans an official visit to Tehran soon something that would have been nearly unthinkable until recently.
HOWEVER, Prince Khalid’s words about brotherhood should not be taken at face value. The memory of the 2019 Abqaiq attack and Saudi Arabia’s vulnerability is still fresh.

With U.S.-Iran tensions rising, Riyadh may calculate that a direct line to Tehran is the best insurance against future strikes.

A charm offensive now could shield Saudi oil fields if events elsewhere spiral out of control. That said, if genuine friendship can be built between these two, it could be great for the region—today matters.

🇵🇸⫽🇺🇸⫽🇮🇱 Woke up to the usual noise—

Paula White claiming heaven has new visa rules — visit '48 or stay out.

If that were true, Palestinian Christians — rooted in Al-Quds and Beit Lahm long before Europe discovered Christianity — would have first-class tickets.

Instead, they face checkpoints, demolitions, and land seizures.
- This isn’t about faith.
- It’s about control.
- It’s about using religious tourism to fund and justify territorial occupation.

Evangelical tourism injects $3 billion/year into Israel’s economy.

Settlements expand under the cover of "pilgrimage routes."

Israel’s courts cite zoning violations and security needs — not scripture — to authorize land grabs.
Religious narratives are being weaponized to reframe colonization as prophecy fulfillment.

Christian Zionism functions as soft power — creating international shields for hard power on the ground.
Any faith that demands erasure is not faith — it’s conquest.

The language of heaven is being used to pave the machinery of occupation. Tour buses are just new supply lines.

🇮🇷⫽📝 CASE STUDY

A leader shouldn’t have to repeat himself. So when Khamenei stands there, calm, steady, and says “our red lines are clear”—I don’t hear instruction. I hear repair.

Not for Washington. This isn’t about them. It’s about the walls inside Tehran.
- In meetings that start five minutes late.
- In vague replies.
- In obedient nods followed by quiet revisions.

“Orders turn into suggestions, then into delays, and eventually into something unrecognizable.”

And he sees it. That’s what this is. A warning, yes—but not outwards. Inwards. “Don’t invest too much in talks,” he says.
- Not because diplomacy is weakness, but because bureaucracy is.
- Because institutions drift.
- Because even in a system built on ideology, self-preservation is the strongest instinct.

There’s a kind of wisdom here. A government—even one built top-down—is never really a command. “It’s a conversation pretending to be a monologue.”
When he says “self-reliance” but still engages, it’s not contradiction—it’s governance. It’s how control survives.

Lesson? Maybe this:
“Absolute power doesn’t exist. Not really. What looks like command from the outside is just containment from within.”

It’s not about ruling—it’s about keeping the center from dissolving.
And some days, that’s enough.
🇺🇸⫽🇮🇷 Meanwhile: Trump’s April 7 claim of “direct talks” collapsed instantlyIran 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 2018when ripping up the nuclear deal lit this fire. Recycling failed tactics isn’t strategy; it’s the arrogance of power refusing to learn.
U.S. credibility cracks when stories don’t stick

Iran’s “resistance” alliances strain under sanctions and brinkmanship

Civiliansnot just leadersabsorb 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.

🇺🇸⫽🇮🇱⫽🇮🇷 Iran has activated its ninth Ghadir radar, a phased-array system with a confirmed range of 1,100 kilometers, as part of its early-warning network. This was reported on late March, 2025—bolstering its capability to detect stealth aircraft and ballistic missiles.

Additionally: Iran is finalizing a new over-the-horizon (OTH) radar system, identified as more advanced than the Ghadir. This system, taller and equipped with additional masts, has been under testing since 2022 and is set to become operational in 2025. It has a documented range of 2,000 kilometers and is designed to track low and medium-altitude targets with "improved precision"

4 sites are operational, with construction evidence indicating a 5 site, forming a multi-static network.

By building on the success of the Ghadir and incorporating advanced technology—Iran is enhancing its ability to respond to regional challenges. It’s a practical and determined effort to ensure its security/sovereignty.
🇱🇧⫽ 🎞 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.
"The Levant could have beenno. 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."

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.
"🇱🇧 . 🇵🇸 . 🇮🇶. 🇸🇾 different names, same fracture."

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s an unpaid debt.

🇮🇷⫽🇺🇸⫽🇴🇲 FOLLOWING UP

The negotiations between Washington and Tehran unfold like a familiar parable—a tale of power, distrust, and the fragility of promises.

Iran’s demands remain unyielding:
- Unfreezing of its seized billions.
- Loosening of oil export chains
- Swift relief from the nuclear program’s suffocating sanctions.
The Americans, in their urgency, have already acquiesced to a precarious short-term arrangement—devoid of rigorous oversight, stitched together with the thread of “good faith.”reveals much about desperation.

The talks, mediated in Oman, saw no direct engagement despite Trump’s insistence. Iran shut down Witkoff’s request to visit Tehran.
Trust is a currency neither side has.

However, the venue shift to Rome amused mea decision driven by American discomfort with Oman’s proximity to Iran and the inconvenience of long flights.
Petty concerns that expose a lack of respect for the process
.
“Dialogue may intensify soon, possibly leading to direct talks, but the U.S. track record of broken promises looms large.”

What’s clear: The U.S. is rushing.
Concessions flow one way so far.
Iran, though, plays the long game.
They know Washington’s deals often crumblethe JCPOA ghosts linger.

I can’t help but wonder:
Are we watching genuine diplomacy or just a staged detour before escalation?
“Rushed accords bear weak roots.”

When a nation as transient in its commitments as the United States offers swift solutions, skepticism is not cynicismit is prudence.
Tehran’s restraint, honed by decades of siege, may yet prove wiser than Washington’s hunger for spectacle
.
Time, as ever, will judge which side heeds history’s quiet warnings.
