🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iranian Member of Parliament, Mahmoud Nabavian: 'Before the negotiations, Trump contacted Iran through a regional country, conveying a message saying 'let us strike two locations in Iran—and you can respond symbolically' Iran rejected this offer, and replied that any attack would lead to a response in which at least 3000 to 4000 American soldiers would be killed. Furthermore, we would strike every single major company in the region that is U.S.-owned or has ties to America.'

Interesting threat by Netanyahu. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to depart on Tuesday and return to Israel on Friday, Israel Hayom reports. ➡️ One meeting is scheduled for Wednesday and likely another on Thursday. He may also hold separate meetings with Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance. That separate meaning seems quite interesting to me, as if Vance would carry out the attack.

🇺🇸The Justice Department is struggling to find new recruits and retain lawyers as the department seeks to only hire those who support Trump's agenda, NYT reports. ➡️ Applications are said to include questions about how candidates would advance the president’s policies and which executive orders they consider significant, along with how they would help implement them. ➡️ To address staffing shortages, the DOJ has deployed military lawyers as a temporary measure to assist overburdened districts, including Minnesota.

🇮🇱🇺🇸⚡️The Israeli Prime Minister's Office: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump this coming Wednesday in Washington, where they will discuss the negotiations with Iran.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇹🇼⚡️ — China has privately warned that the enormous $11.1 billion arms package to Taiwan could jeopardize President Trump’s planned April meeting with President Xi Jinping, with Xi urging Washington to handle Taiwan arms sales “with prudence,” according to FT. ➡️ Some U.S. officials believe Beijing may be bluffing, though others suggest Trump could delay notifying Congress until after the visit. The large $11.1 billion arms package for Taiwan was approved back in December 2025.

🇪🇸⚡️ — Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: Why do they want to control mobile phones? They want to control phones because they want to know what we read and what we see so that later they can know, and control, what we vote for. That is why, when we have made proposals that are simply common sense, with nothing ideological about them, proposals to give extra protection to children under 16 from all that vulgarity, those lies, that disinformation, that hatred and violence that so often appear on phones and digital devices—the response from those tech oligarchs has been hatred, lies, and more vulgarity.

🇮🇷🇵🇸❌🇮🇱 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: The Palestinian question is not only a humanitarian issue. It is a strategic issue. It is not only about Gaza and the West Bank. It is about the future of our region and the rules of the world. So what must be done? It is not enough to express concern. It is not enough to issue a statement. It is not enough to mourn. We need a coordinated strategy of action, legal, diplomatic, economic, and security-based, rooted in the principles of international law and collective responsibility. We call for comprehensive and targeted sanctions against Israel, including an immediate arms embargo, the suspension of military and intelligence cooperation, restrictions on officials, and banning trade. We need a credible political horizon grounded in law. The international community must affirm the end of occupation, the right of return and compensation in accordance with international law, and the establishment of a unified and independent Palestinian state, with al-Quds al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital.

🇮🇷❌🇮🇱 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: Israel's expansionist project has had a direct and destabilizing impact on the security of all countries in the region. The Israeli regime now openly violates borders. It breaches sovereignties. It assassinates official dignitaries. It conducts terrorist operations. It expands its reach in multiple theaters. And it does so not discreetly, but with a sense of entitlement, because it has learned that international accountability will not come.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, says zero enrichment is 'off the table', but Iran is willing to discuss limitations; he also confirms Iran's stockpile 408 kg of enriched uranium won't leave Iran. ➡️A change in the location of the negotiations with Washington in the second round is possible. ➡️We don't want a regional war, nor do the countries of the region, but any American attack will change that. We are ready to reduce the enrichment rate.

In order to make the inhumane, satanic rituals of Epstein more palatable we hear things like from the elite establishment 🇬🇧 “If you’re not in those files... you were a bit of a loser.” Lady Victoria Hervey, a former girlfriend of Pedo Prince Andrew, told LBC that not being named in the Epstein files is “an insult.”

Russia Rybar reports on Chinas Starlink Killer Have Chinese engineers learned to shoot down satellites? Not a week goes by without English-language, and then Russian-language sources publishing news about another breakthrough by Chinese scientists. This time, South China Morning Post published an article about a new weapon that can kill Starlink. The publication, referring to an article in a Chinese scientific journal, reports that local engineers have created the world's first 20 GW microwave weapon. The device, called TPG1000Cs, is capable of disrupting satellites in low Earth orbit, including Starlink devices. The device is designed for use on trucks, ships, aircraft, or possibly in space. This demonstrates a sharp leap compared to earlier systems — which were already being developed in China. The new development is likely still at the prototype stage — after all, its images and details were seen by the general public exclusively in the pages of a scientific journal. Although even this is enough to understand the direction they are moving in Beijing. Such a device, if it goes beyond prototypes, would be used as part of a first strike in a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait. It would be useful for disabling specific targets — such as command centers, radars, air defense systems, and so on. All this is needed precisely to disrupt Taiwanese command and control systems, after which a military operation of one scale or another may follow. And, probably, such a scenario is indeed being considered — it's enough to recall news about simulating a situation where the Chinese needed to jam Starlink over Taiwan.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲 Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, did not let the U.S. CENTCOM commander into the negotiations room for over 20 minutes, and when Oman's Foreign Minister Al-Busaidi let him in, Araqchi refused to shake his hand – Omani Media

This is interesting and you have to take this into account. 🇺🇸 The founder of Bitcoin, "Satoshi Nakamoto" was mentioned in the Epstein files. Epstein claimed to have met with the "founders" (3 of the 5) while also having invested in Blockstream, along with other funding that helped in its development. Of the three we definitely know it's Adam Back from the block stream investments, and Gavin Andresen. We know Gavin Andersen met with Epstein a few days before the CIA as well. Epstein put a lot of effort guiding where Bitcoin would end up exactly and how it's used.
