🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US-Iran deal may leave Netanyahu as biggest casualty
The biggest casualty of the U.S.-Iran deal may not be Israel's Iran strategy, but the political brand Benjamin Netanyahu spent decades building as the Israeli leader who could uniquely bend Washington to his will on Iran, analysts, former U.S. officials and diplomats say.
Netanyahu shaped his political identity on an audacious assertion: that he alone could keep the U.S. and Israel in strategic lockstep on Iran. Cultivating Republican support, he cast himself as the only Israeli leader capable of influencing successive U.S. presidents and insisted that only sustained military pressure could contain Tehran.
At the height of his power, he was described by diplomats as the "American whisperer" — the Israeli leader who could pick up the phone and ensure Washington’s strategic calculus aligned with that of Israel. No other Israeli prime minister, they note, addressed Congress as often or built such enduring political capital across the American political system.
But analysts say Washington and Tehran's interim pact to end the war that the U.S. and Israel launched in February shows how that narrative has been reversed. Rather than shaping Washington’s Iran policy, Netanyahu is now forced to accept it, as U.S. President Donald Trump pursues a settlement that increasingly treats Israeli objections as constraints.
At home, the reckoning is equally stark, said former U.S. official Dennis Ross. Netanyahu is increasingly boxed in between a U.S. president intent on ending the conflict and a domestic base resistant to concessions, particularly in Lebanon, he said. Withdrawal risks political backlash while escalation risks confrontation with Washington.
The war Netanyahu hoped would cement his legacy as the leader who confronted Iran may instead be remembered as the conflict that dismantled a central source of his power. Isolated abroad, constrained by his closest ally and vulnerable ahead of an autumn election, he now finds the political asset on which he built his career has become his greatest liability.
At the outset of the war with Iran, Netanyahu promised ultimate victory. He delivered neither the collapse of Iran’s ruling system, nor the defeat of Lebanon's Hezbollah, nor safe return for residents of northern Israel.reuters.com/world/middle-e…

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:
America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting.
The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown.
But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Iran:
Let's suppose that we went crazy and lost our minds completely and decided to agree to have a tolling or a fee mechanism.
How would that work? It's not doable. Because what's the consequence for not paying?
Let's say a ship says, "Well, I'm not going to pay the fee." It's not like a toll on a road, you don't get a ticket in the mail. They get shot at.
You shoot at one ship, you sink one ship, no other ship is going to move. So that sort of system is not only unwise, it can't happen.
It's not even workable. So you might as well abandon the fantasy now.

🇮🇷 🇪🇬 🇺🇸 FIFA ignored the appeals of the national teams of Iran and Egypt — their match at the 2026 World Cup in Seattle will still take place under the LGBT sign.
The bitter irony of fate. Seattle is one of the gay capitals of America. They are used to gay actions within the framework of the pride month (June), which is celebrated annually. And back at the end of 2024, it was decided that the group stage match of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the city, will turn into a gay holiday and the stadium will be decorated with LGBT symbols. And later the draw of the tournament took place and it turned out that we are talking about a meeting between Iran and Egypt — countries where gays are not held in high esteem. Both teams appealed to FIFA with a request to save them from gay decorations.
FIFA refused.

🇨🇩 🇮🇱 How Jeffrey Epstein’s Israeli Network Shaped Congo’s Deadly Mineral Trade
A Drop Site investigation by Murtaza Hussain and Ryan Grim, drawing on U.S. Justice Department records and hacked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s account, reveals how Jeffrey Epstein and Barak built a business network that combined Israeli intelligence expertise, private military contracting, and access to Africa’s vast natural resources. The emails were obtained through the whistleblower group Distributed Denial of Secrets and independently verified by Drop Site.
After resigning as Israel’s defense minister in 2013, Barak worked with Epstein to market privatized Israeli intelligence, surveillance, and security services to governments confronting civil conflicts. Emails show Barak drew on his longtime intelligence contacts, including former Mossad chief Danny Yatom, to expand the venture across Africa.
One classified proposal from Yatom’s firm describes how Israeli intelligence veterans trained a 150-member elite Congolese special operations force during the 2012-2013 war against the Rwandan-backed M23 rebellion in eastern Congo. Yatom claimed the unit’s night raids and special operations helped turn the tide of the war.
As fighting subsided, the network’s focus shifted from military contracts to business opportunities. Emails show Epstein’s close associate Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of Dubai-based DP World, opening channels to Congolese President Joseph Kabila over investments in mining, oil, gas, ports, and transport infrastructure.
The investigation places those efforts within a much longer history of foreign governments, mining companies, intelligence agencies, and military contractors competing for influence over Congo’s enormous reserves of copper, cobalt, coltan, diamonds, and other strategic minerals. By 2018, Epstein was participating in discussions around U.S. Treasury sanctions targeting Congo’s mining economy, including the holdings of sanctioned Israeli mining magnate Dan Gertler.
Our report traces those same dynamics into the present. As Washington moves to challenge China’s dominance over Congo’s critical minerals, a U.S.- and UAE-backed consortium is seeking control of major copper and cobalt assets once tied to Gertler. At the same time, Blackwater founder Erik Prince, working alongside Israeli advisers, is helping retrain Congolese special forces to fight M23 around the same mineral-rich region.
The investigation highlights that while the geopolitical players and technologies have changed, the competition over Congo’s mineral wealth continues. Foreign governments, military contractors, and multinational investors remain deeply involved in the country’s resource sector, while little of the wealth generated by Congo’s vast natural resources reaches the Congolese people.dropsitenews.com/p/epstein-bara…
