— NOTE: Suspension of cooperation with the IAEA likely will not be the only retaliation for SnapBack, considering that this was already the status quo before SnapBack (at least until the Cairo agreement this month).

Suspending ties with the IAEA was meant as a retaliation to the bombing of our nuclear sites, not SnapBack. The response to SnapBack must be more severe and a totally seperate measure.

We probably have to wait until UN sanctions take effect (Septembwe 27th) before Iran announces any formal response.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 How Israel’s Triggering Economic Collapse in West Bank

The West Bank’s economy is in freefall, driven by Israel’s stringent measures since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023.

🔸 Unemployment has soared to over 30% as of September 2024, up from 12.9% before the conflict, with nearly 115,000 Palestinian work permits for Israel revoked and only 8,000 reinstated.

🔸 The job market, already strained by pre-war restrictions like Israel’s withholding of $2.3 billion in Palestinian tax revenues since 2019, is now crippled.

🔸 An International Labour Organization survey found that over 50% of West Bank workers faced reduced hours, 60% saw income cuts, and 65% of businesses slashed staff, doubling the poverty rate to one-third of families.

How did Israel orchestrate the crisis?

🔸 Israel’s post-October 2023 decision to withhold tax revenues meant for Palestinian Authority (PA) salaries in Gaza, citing Hamas risks, has deepened the crisis. The PA, rejecting partial transfers, now grapples with a $13 billion public debt—130% of Palestine’s GDP.

🔸 In June 2024, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich canceled a banking indemnity waiver, threatening to sever ties between Israeli and Palestinian banks by November. This could isolate Palestinian banks globally, disrupt trade, and spawn a cash-based black market.

🔸 An excess of Israeli shekels, capped by the 1994 Paris Protocol, further limits Palestinian banks’ ability to finance trade or accept deposits.

🔸 Israeli military raids on currency exchange centers, seizing millions, have disrupted vital payment systems, exacerbating cash shortages.

Only ending Israel’s occupation and establishing Palestinian sovereignty can avert total economic collapse. With no immediate solution, the West Bank’s financial trajectory remains dire.

🚨🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷 Why Russia No Longer Needs Nord Stream

Before the war, Russia exported 200 bcm/year of gas to Europe.

Half of that went through Nord Stream 1 & 2 — around 110 bcm/year combined capacity.

With the sabotage and sanctions, Europe is off the map for Gazprom.

So where is that gas going now?

CHINA

🔸The new Power of Siberia-2 pipeline will ship 50 bcm/year of gas to China.

🔸Together with the operating Power of Siberia-1 and other contracts, Russia will send 100 bcm/year to China by the 2030s.

That’s about half of what Europe used to buy.

Why this matters for China:

🔸Locked in via a 30-year framework

🔸Diversifies LNG from the US, Qatar & Australia

🔸China gets cheaper, predictable pipeline gas; Russia gets a stable buyer.

IRAN

🔸In 2023, Moscow & Tehran signed a deal for 110 bcm/year of Russian gas transfers through Iran.

🔸That’s equal to the combined Nord Stream capacity.

Iran will function as a regional hub — moving Russian gas to neighbors and global markets.

The Iran arrangement has broader implications:

🔸Positions Iran as an energy corridor for Eurasia

🔸Provides Russia with new distribution channels beyond Europe

🔸Asia and the Middle East rely heavily on spot LNG, but a Russia–Iran pipeline hub could offer cheaper, long-term supply and reduce dependence on volatile cargo markets.

On top of that, Gazprom signed a $40 billion MOU to help Iran develop its massive (and largely untapped) gas reserves.

Iran has the world’s second largest reserves.

If this scales, the Iran-Russia energy axis could shake the entire LNG market.

The Big Picture:

🔸China: 100 bcm/year locked in

🔸Iran: 110 bcm/year transfer deal

🔸That’s ~210 bcm/year — effectively replacing the entire European market.

🚨WAS 9/11 AN INSIDE JOB?

Tucker Carlson blew up the internet after pointing out Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11. But he’s not the only one saying there are things about the attacks the powers that be don’t want you thinking about.

🔶 In 2006, Netanyahu boasted of warning about “militant Islam” trying to “bring down” the WTC since the 90s

🔶 On a 9/11 anniversary, Bush stunned reporters by citing an ‘al-Qaeda plot’ to use explosives to destroy buildings, bolstering fears the WTC was brought down by demolition, not planes

🔶 Before his 2011 murder, Gaddafi told Larry King the 9/11 hijackers had nothing to do with Afghanistan or Iraq – the nations the US invaded using 9/11 as a pretext

🔶 Then there are the so-called ‘dancing Israelis’ – Mossad agents arrested & deported after being caught filming & celebrating in NJ as the WTC burned

🔶 Mossad founder Isser Harel predicted in 1979 that Islamic terrorists would hit NY’s tallest buildings

🔶 Larry Silverstein, the ‘lucky’ Netanyahu-linked mogul who took out insurance on his 99-year WTC complex lease in July 2001, cashed out bigtime when the towers fell

🔶 The BBC’s live coverage of the attacks featured an oddity – reporting WTC Building 7’s collapse before it happened

🔶 Alex Jones, who predicted the attacks & even mentioned bin Laden by name, warned on September 12, 2001 that Americans were “going to die” thanks to Israel, & that the US would become a police state (months before the Patriot Act)

🔶 Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou has revealed that in July 2001, the director of the agency’s counterterrorism center said in a briefing that “something terrible” of “an unprecedented scale” was about to happen

🔶 Rabbi Abraham Benhaim has recalled that a week before 9/11, a great Israeli rabbi prayed for the WTC to fall during a visit to NYC. Citing a Kabbalistic text, he said the destruction would trigger great wars ending with the coming of the Mashiach

🔶 Finally, a bombshell 2019 University of Alaska civil engineering study found that WTC 7’s collapse was caused by demolition, not fire

Because it is considered an urgent session, the Guardian Council will be present in the assembly to approve the bill on the spot in case it passes.

To pass, the bill must get a majority of the votes, and it is not yet certain whether it will pass — because leaving the NPT has many consequences, and some parliament members still argue against it.

🇮🇷🇦🇿🇮🇱| NEW: Azerbaijani soil was indeed used to attack Iran

Iran’s Chairman of the National Security Commission at the Parliament says:

“Iran’s FARAJA border guards firmly stated that the Zionist regime has used the Azerbaijan border to penetrate drones towards Iran.

Iran’s presidency & MFA raised this issue with Aliyev, president of Azerbaijan and he asked for documentation of proof.

Now, whether we provide documentation is one thing, but the reality itself cannot be denied. Our border guards explicitly said: “We were there, and we saw it with our own eyes that Israeli drones entered Iran from Azerbaijani soil.”

They knew what this meant for Iran's nuclear program. They knew that snapback would be used and abused against Iran. They knew sanctions would never be lifted, and they knew it would open the way to justify an American-Israeli attack.

Yet the Reformists signed it anyway.

They signed a nation up for disaster.
