Iran threatens response without full implementation' of US deal

... Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has warned of an Iranian response if the U.S. and Israel breach the interim peace deal, as Tehran prepares to bury its former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"We strongly demand full implementation of the agreements, and if the U.S. and the Zionist regime fail to fulfill their commitments, Iran will resume proportionate actions," Qalibaf said Friday, according to the semiofficial Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA), during a meeting with Belarusian lawmaker Igor Sergeyenko.

Qalibaf and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have been the lead Iranian negotiators in high-level talks with the U.S. to finalize an agreement that would permanently end hostilities in the region, fully reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz and resolve outstanding issues on Tehran's nuclear program, among other objectives.

The renewed tension comes after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Persian Gulf last week in the first flare-up of fighting since the 60-day memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed.

President Trump threatened late last weekend to "militarily complete the job" following suspected Iranian drone attacks on vessels attempting to transit the oil corridor. The U.S. military responded with retaliatory strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar locations. ...

Patagonia to Prudhoe Bay... you'll thank me in the morning!

Riding the Andes near the beginning alone is worth the trip.

As I calculated last Oct 2025 during the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, each death was the equivalent to 70 - 75 votes for Democratic Party NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

This year Zohran Mamdani endorsed three non-AIPAC candidates and each won their June primaries.

AIPAC and Israel have become liabilities to the Democratic Party and hence the dozen dead-ender AIPAC Democrats signing that ridiculous "Promise to America." (Code for "Promise to Israel." D'uh).

The Republican Party faces a different AIPAC problem. A small, but vocal group of Republicans are tired of Israeli influence in the GOP and the US government: Tucker Carlson, MTG, former D/NCTC Joe Kent, and James Fishback in Florida. Some of these Republicans are also antisemites, undermining their credibility.

In US presidential election years, average voter turnout is ~60% of the eligible population; in midterm election years, average voter turnout is ~40% of the eligible population.

Many Americans see a Republican AIPAC candidate or a Democratic AIPAC candidate which does nor reflect their values, so they stay home on those critical November Tuesdays.

The sooner both political parties rid themselves of AIPAC and supporting Israel's vicious ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank, the sooner both parties will see an increase in voter participation.

"FFS! Will sumbody puh-leeze get this &%#%+) AIPAC fetter off my foot!"
