The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, provides details on the agreement reached with Iran yesterday.
In short, according to Grossi, a framework deal that, if followed, should open up the way for the inspection of all nuclear facilities in Iran. Iran will also be required to report on all the attacked nuclear facilities, including the nuclear material (enriched uranium) present at these facilities. In obligation with the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This is if the agreement is actually implemented.

Poland asks NATO to invoke article 4
Guess they're gonna learn the hard way that NATO is for protecting the imperial core, not the periphery lapdogs.
Poland is the core, americans & eu leaders wont tolerate poland falling away from the empire, otherwise the actual military nodes in western germany might be under threat, and without them you cant really have us power over the middle east anymore (of course greece & italy and the british cyprus bases are quite essential still)
I really do not think Trump is going to support Poland
Everyone else might see the reasons to, he won't
The speed they did this without any length of investigation of a false flag knowing Ukkkraine tried this in the past is sus.
This is literally just that one Monty Python skit:
And you can bet just as little will come of it. They'll just sit around and have their little circlejerk condemning Russia and beating their chests about how united they are and so on.
First time since the start of the Russia-Ukraine that article 4 has been invoked (it was last invoked at the start of the war by eastern European member states), and the 8th time in NATO history of my memory is correct.
The text of article 4 is quite short:
The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.
So just consultation in NATO. My guess is they want to decide if further actions (defensive measures) should be taken, and what those may be. For example Turkey has invoked Article 4 for additional defensive measures (such as the deployment of air defence) or deterrence exercises in the past, or to inform NATO of it's actions in response to military activities in Syria. At most I think, NATO may agree to deploy additional C-UAS (counter unmanned aerial systems) and air patrols more specialised to shoot down UAS to Poland. Outside of NATO, such air patrols were deployed by the United States to Jordan recently, and ended up shooting down Iranian one way attack drones headed towards Israel. I think that currently, the United States is the only nation capable of providing such specialised air patrols in NATO. European NATO members are capable of it, but it would require the purchase of laser guided rockets and certifying it on their aircraft. Or they may agree to keep the current posture and say a bunch of word salad.
Trump allegedly demanding that the EU slap up to 100% tariffs on India and China, according to Reuters.
The EU diplomat said the U.S. had indicated it was willing to impose similar tariffs if the European Union heeded the U.S. request.
So is this where Trump demands that the EU do an economic kamikaze attack and has them take blame if they refuse? Saying that they'll do it too, but the EU has to go first, is kinda suspicious.
Russia violating polish airspace is actually kinda funny. The Europeans have nothing left to give, and they're going to try and possibly fail to rearm no matter what happens. If the Russians violated Polish airspace weekly it would either be Gerans very economically intercepting and destroying European missile stocks, or Europe cringing as they can do nothing to stop the drone raids through their territory. It's 2025. Are we going to continue to believe Europeans hold international law sacred? Fuck with them a bit. Outrage the impotent, depraved ghouls.
Trump pushing EU to slap 100% tariffs on China, India be like:
has expressed growing frustration at the difficulty of reaching a peace deal amid Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukrainian cities.
I feel like I've heard this phrase be repeated in basically every article of the war at every given point of the reporting.
everything is mostly over now, the line between protesters and mob were blurred in the end hours when governmental building were targeted like supreme courts, National banks, etc
The rage had been specifically against the elite and their properties during the day so the sudden shift in target at the end was very suspicious. It was immediately condemned by the people with several conspiracies floating around about who was behind the attack. felt like mob were going after court, custom office, etc and destroying documents and other evidence deliberately. Currently the Maoist are being blamed for the destruction since they suffered the least damage. Some of it might be even true, just because they called themselves 'Maoist' doesn't mean they are in principle.
Luckily the chaos didn't last long. Nepal army was deployed at 10 pm and order was quickly restored. The suspicion of some foreign power suddenly hijacking the entire thing is entirety valid but don't think thats the case. The army patrolling the street might make it seem scary but they are just providing support. Their arrival made it so that people can sleep in peace.
It was too well focused to be foreign power leading a discontented hoard of protesters. Every sign here is the kind of activity that well organised vanguard groups engage in when they have the cover of a state that has descended into chaos.
In a country with a far right it's often their groups. In a country like Nepal I can only look at various communist groups. Unless we have some right wing suspects that have potential?
Yeah everyone was shocked how just how effective it was. Power of the masses I guess. Really a shame it was not channeled in a meaningful manner so the economic power still remains intact in the hand of capitalist.
The previous government was so inept that the right is now a monarchist -political party- Most of the parties here got 'communist' in their name or a hammer-and-sickel as logo, even if they have nothing to do with Marxism. So just being a communist party is no longer a effective rallying cry for masses, the parties need to show the ability to bring real progress which sadly has only been done by one Juche party. Maybe there are other small parties but have never heard of them yet.
There is an organized group involved in the protest called safal commitee
I also read that some of the members of the ML and MLM parties (mostly the youth and low position members) have joined the protests and formed some of their own groups within
I have no clue what that is. Where did you find it? Never heard of SAFAL nor read anything regarding this anywhere else.
Really wonder where the 'Democrats' came from. Never seen it being used to describe any Nepali Party.
Also all their demand are a joke. No one knows about them or their grand plan to bring communism.
Most suspicious of all is that notice is in English. Tried to look up on SAFAL but didn't find anything either
Maybe search a little?
The nepali people i follow have being sharing updates and mention SAFAL as one of the orgs on the ground
I looked into the account you linked but it showed zero post for me and created few days ago so got really confused. Tried googling it and found no result.
SAFAL might be something that just exist on twitter perhaps. most people here don't use it at all and stuck to fb, and its same with me so had no idea about that group.
But its a whole Different world on FB and in ground so thought it was parody account. there is no 'revolution' here. Army has asked for a representative from 'Gen Z' group and former chief justice Sushila Karki was chosen. Won't describe how the decision was made since it really need leanthy explanation (involves a discord group with around 10k live chat members that went for 11 hours. Fucking wild but somehow a good thing in the end)
Also everything looks like a color revolution here, hell even CIA might be confused on when they planned the entire thing but all of this is somehow developing naturally
Where is the juche party in all this? They control one city no? A pretty major one at that.
The juche party isnt part of the gov coalition goverment so they are fine i imagine
All small political parties have been quite. Since the target was the political establishment, they are probably wary to also be blindly attack right now.
My guess is they are waiting for the interim government to be formed and only then focus their effort for the up coming election.
