‘If Iran gets a bomb it will be Bibi’s’: Trump’s deal outline sparks alarm in Israel
“The bottom line is that Iran can and is presenting to the world a victory picture by dint of the very fact that it is still standing. Trump, for the time being, does not have a similar counter-picture of his own to show. That isn’t very good news for the Israeli people.”…

Rubio calls for new Cuban leaders as blackout underscores economic crisis | PBS News
The administration is looking for President Miguel Díaz-Canel to leave as the U.S. continues negotiating with the Cuban government, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge of talks between Washington and Havana. No detail has been offered about who the administration might like to see come to power.
Many Cubans do not believe that Díaz-Canel holds much power in Cuba, anyway, as opposed to revolutionary founding father Raúl Castro and his family.

My grandfather narrowly avoided death under the Iranian regime. But I am not celebrating Trump’s illegal war
Plenty of comparisons have been drawn between George W Bush's chilling "Mission Accomplished" address on that obnoxious warship in 2003 and Donald Trump's disgusting announcement on Saturday, when he urged the people of Iran to rise up against a deeply violent regime and "take back your government", all while the US and Israel drop bombs on their heads, like we're in some kind of US government propaganda action movie.
In what world can a regular person "take back" their government amid foreign bombs and a system intent on killing them?…

A world on edge as Trump bombs Iran and triggers war in the Middle East. There was no need for this

Charlie Kirk Is Haunting the Trump Administration’s Iran Debate - POLITICO
Online, major MAGA figures who oppose renewed hostilities in the Middle East have been digitally resurrecting Kirk, resurfacing old posts in which the conservative activist bluntly objected to the prospect of a war with Iran. Last week, the commentator and close Kirk ally Jack Posobiec posted a short clip from Kirk's show last June, in which Kirk pointedly questioned the wisdom of a "regime change" war in Iran: "So we are just going to take out the ayatollah? Oh really! What next? What happens after regime change?"…

You Might Not Like What Comes Next in Iran - POLITICO
Khamenei is, rightly, seen as an uncompromising and unyielding idealogue. But he is not actually the most extreme figure in Iran's political apparatus.
"Khamenei is an obstacle to reformists, but in a weird way he is also an obstacle to the most hardline voices," Nasr told me. There are officials in the country's national security and domestic branches, Nasr said, who want the country to more aggressively enforce its female dress code or be even more belligerent toward America and Israel...

‘They lied to our face’: Democrats decry Trump’s military raid on Venezuela
"They literally lied to our face," said Chris Murphy, a US senator from Connecticut, on Sunday, referring to a briefing on Venezuela that the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, gave to his chamber last month. "The message they sent was that this wasn't about regime change … They said this is just a counter-narcotics operation."
In an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Murphy called the action in Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday "wildly illegal", adding: "There is no way to trust this administration."

Why has US attacked Caracas and captured Venezuela’s president?
Trump's unprecedented capture of Nicolás Maduro follows months of military campaign and years of strained relationship…
Trump claims US has captured Venezuela’s President Maduro and wife
In a statement, Venezuela's government urged citizens to rise up against the assault and said Washington risked plunging Latin America into chaos with "an extremely serious" act of "military aggression".
"The entire country must mobilise to defeat this imperialist aggression," it added.
In a defiant online video, Venezuela's defense minister, Vladimir Padrino López, accused the US of launching a "deplorable" and "criminal" regime change operation and said the "barbaric" invading forces had "desecrated our sacred land".…

‘No future for us’: disaffected Iranians say it’s now or never to topple regime
They execute, and arrest us anyway. So people now think, if they continue to kill us when we are not even on the streets in protest, why the fuck are we waiting for the right moment?" said Mehnaz, speaking under a pseudonym for fear of repercussions...
"Joining these protests is a matter of ruining our future, but we have realised there is no future for us under this regime, so why cower and hide now?" said Reza, who asked to use a pseudonym…
