WARIRANThe US breach of the MoU continues to be a theatrical prop for the MAGA men and women out there, as they try to flip Trump’s clear breaches of the MoU — breaches in the forms of direct threats against Iranian people, multiple attempts to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz via the Omani coast (contrary to MoU point Five), and Marco Rubio “brokering” the Israeli-Lebanon agreement allowing Israel to stay in southern Lebanon.
Now, Trump is attacking Iran in response to Iran hitting five ships the day before yesterday. Iran has responded by striking US naval forces and by attacking key areas in nations that have facilitated US attacks on Iran.

Despite the US attacks, Iran still controls the Strait
It also is reported, and confirmed, that some of the boats Trump’s goons hit, and which the goons claimed were part of the IRGC naval force were, in fact, fishing boats.
And the US hit two rail lines. One, for goods that are integral for Chinese and Russian trade… Aq Tekeh Khan rail bridge (also called Aq Qala or Aqqala bridge) in Golestan Province, northern Iran. This is on the Incheh Borun–Turkmenistan railway route, important for international trade links toward Turkmenistan (and further connections involving Russia and China). Iranian media reported it was hit by seven projectiles and taken out of service. LINK And a section of the Tehran–Mashhad railway (northeastern Iran). This caused suspension of train services on that major route. Iranian authorities (including the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways) stated that technical teams were dispatched for repairs, with bus transport arranged for passengers as a workaround. The timing was noted as occurring hours before planned events related to the burial of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad.
This was pure vindictiveness on the part of Trump et al
-Iran’s response was swift, and they seem to have repaired the passenger line and the other is close to being fixed.
They also responded in other ways, overall…
By the way. One might wonder why here at my Substack and on LC Live, we note that it’s bizarre for the US and Iran to come to agreements about Oman’s shipping routes, but, while we observe that strangeness, we also note that Trump is supposed to get Israel to stop its activity in Lebanon and withdraw (per the first point of the MoU). The reason the latter is viable as a point in the MoU is that the Israelis DEPEND on the US to engage in their aggression, and Trump can cut them off and stop that aggression (he constitutionally is not supposed to give them any aid unless the Congress issues a Declaration of War). This does not hold for Oman, but Trump is offering all kinds of incentives to Oman if they side with the US rather than Iran. Reports describe a “Omani route” or southern/inshore route along the Omani coast, coordinated with the US Navy. This involves nighttime transits, blacked-out ships (lights/radar/AIS minimized), and US guidance to move commercial vessels (including oil tankers) safely.
An INTERTANKO (tanker industry group) advisory from early June 2026 detailed this tightly controlled system, with ~15 vessels/day using it. Trump publicly referenced a “secret mission” enabling hundreds of ships and over 100 million barrels of oil to transit. LINK
US-Oman military ties include long-standing access to ports like Duqm (outside the strait) and recent cooperation on maritime intelligence/surveillance to monitor/protect shipping. Some lawmakers (e.g., Sen. John Kennedy) have backed enhanced US-Oman coordination in the strait.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Ansar Allah might help Iran, of course.
AND, if Trump really wants to open the Straif of Hormuz, trying to destroy one of the key maritime towers for it is a bad, bad idea.
Thomas Massie has a reminder of the fuel problem Trump is making WORSE.
PLUS… the European “Hormuz Force” that England and others were going to send to the Strait? It’s juuuuuuuust outside the Strait, and not engaging in any activity other than wasting tax money and possibly acting as an additional threat to Iranians. “European Naval Coalition for Hormuz Disappears Without a Trace” LINK
Share
MEANWHILE, Trump cannot hold Kharg Island, as we mentioned last night. Of course he can’t. Here is Larry Johnson on that, from his appearance last night w Daniel Davis.
Robert Barnes sums it up. VERY WELL.
AND… RED BANNERS are appearing all over Iran. This is a sign of desired vengeance. Here is Daniel Davis w an on-the-spot report, for which we must overlook the slight signal breakup. Very worthwhile.
LEBANONSurprised?
GAZAWe got to mention this yesterday in the News Notes and on Liberty Conspiracy Live, but I want to offer the details again. This man whom the Israelis killed was targeted specifically because he was helping the people in Gaza get together to WATCH THE WORLD CUP games.
Then, there is this
And the man who wants to get back into the PM slot appears on cam again, in a lovely locale that probably rests on stolen land. Daniel Davis and Scott Horton cover some of the Naftali Bennet blunderbuss.

UKRAINE-RUSSIA-NATO-EUAs we got to discuss last year, the European Union “leadership” and many members of the NATO club are hoping to shift their dismal economies into “wartime economies” - which will not help living standards, will push up their national debts, and will end up debasing their currencies even more. None of that is good, and the predicate, the idea that employing people to make weapons of death and destruction, has anything to do with a productive economic system is delusional. Glenn Diessen offers a similar assessment to what we have been mentioning, here, in his appearance with George Galloway

MCCONNELL - DEAD? NOT ON THE PHONE…
Well. The “officials” have not announced it, and they have not because they don’t want Thomas Massie to get into the office. Numerous politicians and MAGA media figures have claimed to have spoken in “20 minute” phone chats with McConnell, who, they claim, is “resting in his hospital room, and as sharp as ever.” Well, many of us doubt that. The oddly specific detail that multiple sources used—”roughly 20 minutes,” “just shy of 20 minutes,” or a “lengthy” conversation—quickly became a meme hook because it sounded rehearsed or coordinated amid ongoing speculation about McConnell’s health. Let’s start with Scott Jennings:
How can people discard their integrity and believability with such ease? “Why is everyone saying they talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes? | Politics | centraloregondaily.com” LINK And here is Thomas Massie, utilizing some prime wit to skewer the McConnell deception crowd.
MAINE’S US SENATE RACE CONTROVERSY
Plattner is out “Graham Platner ends US Senate campaign in Maine” LINK
US ECONOMY
TRUMP LIES ABOUT INFLATION INHERITANCE, AGAIN.
“’I turned the United States around’: Trump openly lies to Syrian president, says he inherited highest inflation ‘in history’ from Biden” LINK Trump repeatedly has claimed he “inherited the worst/highest inflation in history” (or similar wording like “the worst inflation in the history of our country”) from Biden. He did not inherit “the worst/highest inflation in history”
The all-time high U.S. CPI inflation rate (year-over-year) was 23.7% in June 1920 (post-World War I). LINK
Other major peaks: ~20% in 1947, 14.8% in March 1980 (under Carter), and double-digit rates in the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
Biden’s peak of 9.1% was high by recent standards (highest since 1981), but nowhere near historical records.
He did not even inherit the peak inflation from Biden
The 9.1% peak happened in mid-2022 — more than two years before Trump took office.
By the time Trump was inaugurated in January 2025, inflation had already fallen sharply to ~3% (and was 2.9% the month before). It was declining, not at its “worst.”
TARIFF TERRORISM

Oh, look! More fake theatrics re “Tren de Aragua”! “Todd Blanche reamed after ‘clear violation’ of judge’s order: ‘More than we allow’“ LINK

"I Protest" by Donald JeffriesIt's Time for Declaration of Independence 2Happy Birthday, Declaration of Independence! 250 years is a nice run, but it’s time you were updated. I don’t mean how some want to “update” the Constitution by taking that pesky Bill of Rights out of it.

FREE SPEECH, UK and EU STYLE - REVISTED
In June, the UK government (via the Department for Culture, Media & Sport) published a green paper titled Watch this space: a new strategic direction for UK media. It is currently in a public consultation phase (open until 31 August 2026) and explores options for new rules that could eventually become law. LINK Check out the Orwellian Newspeak they use… The core idea is “prominence” rules for public service media (PSM) content on major video platforms. “Prominence” means making certain content easier to find and more visible — for example:
Boosting it higher in search results
Featuring it more prominently in recommendation feeds or homepages
Giving it privileged placement in user interfaces
This would apply to platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and similar video-sharing services. The government wants these platforms to actively make content from UK public service broadcasters (especially the BBC, but also ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, etc.) “more discoverable” — in other words, to PROMOTE IT. Amazing.
