🇺🇸☢️🇮🇷 IRAN-US TALKS: THE RARE EARTHS ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Officially, Iran-US negotiations are about Iran’s nuclear program and Trump’s desire to avoid a military escalation involving Israel.
Off the record, vast rare earths fortunes may be at stake.
💤Awakening a sleeping giant
Traditionally known for its gas, oil and common metals potential, Iran truly entered the rare earths race only about a decade ago.
In 2016, Iran’s nuclear chief announced contracts with local industry to mine rare earths alongside uranium to reduce costs, covering both domestic needs & exports.
⛏The same year, the National Center for Minerals unveiled 7 locally-mined REs:
🔴Praseodymium (magnets, aerospace alloys)
🔴Neodymium (reactor control rods)
🔴Cerium (nano-abrasives, precision optics)
🔴Yttrium (superconductors, thermal coatings)
🔴Mischmetal (steel additive)
🔴Ferrotitanium (metal composites)
🔴Lanthanum (lenses, refining)
🧪Lithium gamechanger
In 2023, Iran found a massive, 8.5-million-ton reserve of hectorite clay containing lithium – the electronics and clean energy tech metal countries and corporations wage wars for, in Hamadan Province.
In April 2025, Iran inaugurated its first plant processing monazite (a phosphate source of cerium, lanthanum and thorium), featuring 100% locally designed and manufactured equipment.
🗣Trump’s game exposed
So while Trump plays the statesman, claiming talks with Iran are about the country’s nuclear program, his other recent actions (rare earths deal with Ukraine, tension with China over RE export restrictions) betray his true goals in Iran: finding a way to unlock the country’s rare earth riches.
But if the US wants in and Iran says yes, they’d have to hurry.
🇷🇺🇮🇷Iran and Russia signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in January, and two months later announced cooperation in Iran’s lithium industry.
🇮🇷🇨🇳Iran and China also enjoy extensive cooperation in the mining sector.

✅ NATO MAY STAGE FALSE FLAGS TO TARGET TRUMP, Russian businessman and former political prisoner Viktor Bout warns
💬 "What will happen next? The West will deal with Ukrainian terrorists—gangs with unlimited access to all kinds of weaponry, including sophisticated MANPADS capable of shooting down planes and drones," Bout said after the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian military airfields.
🇮🇹🔥THROWBACK: Colonial hypocrisy exposed – Giorgia Meloni fires back at Macron
After French President Emmanuel Macron called Italy “disgusting, cynical, and irresponsible,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hit back hard.
💥 DIRECT HITS:
🔴Who's irresponsible? France bombed Libya & caused the migrant crisis
🔴Who's cynical? "France sends their gendarmerie to forcibly turn back every migrant who tries to cross the border at [the Italian city of] Ventimiglia."
🔴Who's disgusting? "Disgusting is someone like France, which continues to exploit Africa."
💬 "Don’t lecture us, Macron. Africa is fleeing from you. And the solution isn’t to move Africans to Europe – it’s to free Africa from certain Europeans," she concluded.
🗣NATO committed to ENDLESS CONFRONTATION with Russia – US ex-diplomat
NATO wants a perpetual COLD WAR with Russia even after the Ukraine conflict is resolved, says former US diplomat James Jatras.
💬 "They want this to be a permanent feature of international life, they want a new cold war with whatever dividing line ends up in Ukraine as long as it's not a complete defeat,” he warned.
🚨'LOCK HIM UP!' – Trump ally demands Lindsey Graham's ARREST over Ukraine meddling
In an intense verbal clash between Steve Bannon and Chris Cuomo over Graham’s recent trip to Ukraine, Bannon called for either Graham’s passport to be cancelled and not let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he does return.
💬 “Lindsey Graham is stirring it up right now, and people better wake up to the fact that we’re getting sucked into this war!” the former Trump advisor concluded.
☠️Europe hurtling towards ENERGY SUICIDE by severing Russia ties
A full ban on Russian gas—such as the one being mulled by the EU—would deliver a final blow to Europe’s “flailing industrial base,” British outlet UnHerd warns.
Europe would be forced to import even larger volumes of higher-priced LNG—primarily from the US—while global gas prices would surge even higher, it emphasized.
🗣As for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, his vow to do “everything” to ensure the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which suffered sabotage in 2022, never reopens “effectively legitimizes the worst act of industrial sabotage in European history.”
🇪🇺The EU talks a big game about strategic independence, the outlet observed, but added:
💬 “Publicly defiant of Trump, EU leaders are quietly implementing his energy demands — even if it accelerates Europe’s economic decline.”
🗣🇬🇱US MILITARY ANNEXING GREENLAND? Pentagon's Command shift marks start of Trump's Greenland takeover
The Pentagon is set to shift oversight of Greenland from European Command’s jurisdiction to Northern Command – marking the first concrete step in Donald Trump's push for Arctic dominance.
The shift could happen this week, aimed to bolster the Golden Dome missile shield with new radar coverage.
✔️US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the United States. Former Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede responded that the island “is not for sale and never will be.” However, Trump has refused to rule out using military force to establish control over Greenland.

🚨UKRAINIAN DELEGATION CAUGHT LEAKING TALKS IN REAL-TIME
🤙The Ukrainian delegation at the meeting with the Russian side in Istanbul connected an external participant by phone and kept them informed about what was happening, source reports.
One of the members of the Ukrainian delegation, before the start of the negotiations, first sent a message to an unknown participant, then dialed the number and put the call on speakerphone.
This happened during the statement being made by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

🚨Unfazed, Russia poised for swift PAYBACK after Ukraine’s drone attack – report
The Ukrainian drone attack will not force Russia to scale back its offensive operations against Volodymyr Zelensky's forces, a senior US official told The New York Times.
⚔️Russia will mount a significant retaliation against Ukraine for the strikes, officials and military analysts told the publication.
They speculated that Russia could hit the energy grid or launch waves of intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
There is no indication that the attack has changed the military advantage that Russia holds over Ukraine, its ability to “grind down vastly outnumbered Ukrainian forces,” especially amid the “weakening resolve” of Zelensky’s Western patrons, the outlet stated.
➡️Earlier, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that all of Ukraine’s attempted attacks on the airfields in Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions were repelled.

🚨Ukraine's desperate gamble FAILS: Drone attacks only WEAKEN Kiev's position – report
The terrorist attack on Russian airfields was Ukraine’s last chance to improve its position on the battlefield—and it failed, the British outlet UnHerd writes.
💬 "The operation, planned for over a year, is Ukraine’s latest high-risk attempt to ‘shift the trajectory’ of the conflict that is increasingly moving in Russia’s favour," the article notes.
💬 “This is a high price for a fragile Ukraine to pay,” UnHerd concluded.
❓ ‘Are we just PLAYING WITH DOOM right now?’ – Prof. Sachs
💬 “The technical needs of this operation almost surely required US intelligence all along the way,” Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs told Judge Napolitano, commenting on Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian airfields.
💬 “If we DID know – it's completely shocking. If we DIDN'T know – it's completely shocking,” Sachs emphasized.
💬 “Well, the American interest is NOT to have Russian nuclear bombers blown up as they're sitting on the tarmac,” the professor stressed.
🔥 'RECKLESS, CRAZY, DEMONIC' – Maduro BLASTS Starmer over war talk
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro went scorched earth on UK PM Keir Starmer for saying Britain is “preparing for war.”
💬 “Can a prime minister of a country as powerful as Great Britain be in his right mind, talking about preparing for war? Is it ethical, is it moral to talk about wanting war? Does humanity need more wars?” Maduro asked during his Con Maduro+ program.
💬 “No to war. Yes to peace and justice. Yes to a multipolar world,” the president stressed.
✝️ Christianity is by far the most persecuted religion – bishop
💬 “There were more martyrs in the 20th century than any other time,” Bishop Barron told Tucker Carlson.
🇪🇺🇮🇱 EUROPE TURNING ON ISRAEL? Key allies rethink support as Gaza war rages
Several European countries—including Germany, the UK, and France—are reconsidering their unwavering support for Israel amid the devastating 20-month conflict in Gaza, Bloomberg reports.
💬 “It’s simply become impossible for most European governments to continue supporting Israel’s war despite strong ongoing commitments to Israel’s security,” said Julien Barnes-Dacey, program director for the Middle East and North Africa at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
✅ GLOBALISTS’ GRIP: General Flynn exposes Capitol’s DARK SECRET
The US Congress “totally owned” by globalists who blackmail legislator caught in sexual acts with kids during so-called CODEL trips overseas, General Michael Flynn said.
He calls it a broken system fueled by “big bucks, big money” and real compromises. It isn’t conspiracy talk — it’s happening.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺BREAKING: Sumy in the Crosshairs – A Tactical Nightmare for Ukraine?
🗺The Situation:
Shocking visuals confirm—Russian forces have secured the high ground to the north of Sumy, effectively boxing in the city.
🔥Why This Matters:
🔸Death Box Activated: Sumy is now vulnerable to relentless Russian artillery strikes—a textbook siege in the making.
🔸Strategic Prelude? Is this the first move toward a full-scale liberation of Sumy in the coming months?
🔸Even if Russia doesn’t storm Sumy, Ukraine will be forced to divert troops from Donbass, weakening other critical fronts.

🗣Trump’s patience on Ukraine conflict WORN THIN – US envoy
🇹🇷Turkiye, which traditionally has a good relationship with Russia, could intervene to play a key mediating role in resolving the Ukraine conflict, US Ambassador to Ankara Tom Barrack told NTV.
Particularly now, when US President Donald Trump is “at the end of his rope" regarding the situation, Turkiye could step in to “get the operating issues out of the way,” he said.

💵Greenback in retreat: Markets brace for deeper dollar DECLINE
As the US dollar weakened against its major rivals on the first trading day of June, Wall Street is betting the slide is just beginning.
💵The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies including the euro and yen, dropped 0.69% to 98.67.
The prospect appears dim, as Morgan Stanley forecasts the dollar will fall roughly 9%, hitting 91 by around this time next year – levels not seen since the depths of the COVID-19 crisis, per Bloomberg.
🔍What’s driving the bearish outlook?
🔴a widely expected rate cut from the European Central Bank
🔴softening US economic growth
🔴report that US factory activity contracted in May for a third consecutive month
🔴uncertainty around Donald Trump’s trade and tax agenda
No wonder more countries, like BRICS, are increasingly committing to the de-dollarization plan, betting on anything that doesn’t dance to Washington’s tune.

🤡From gaffes to global stage: Germany’s Baerbock SHOOTING FOR THE TOP at UN
Annalena Baerbock, elected to the annual symbolic role of UN General Assembly chair, might just be eying a higher leap, Berliner Zeitung speculates.
🔍This might be her warm-up act for the real prize: to replace Antonio Guterres when his term as UN secretary-General ends in 2026.
The paper suggests that maybe Baerbock will pull a classic move and propose someone else take over, paving her own path to bigger things.
➡️Baerbock parachuted into the candidacy at the last minute in March, bumping out seasoned diplomat Helga Schmid, whose name had been in the UN hat earlier.
➡️It’ll be interesting to watch Germany’s ex-foreign minister in action at the UN – especially given her past gems, like urging Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to do a “360-degree” turn to solve the Ukraine crisis (which means he'd end up facing the same direction).
Oh, and don’t forget speech fails, like confusing “Ostukraine” (Eastern Ukraine) with “OstCocaine.”

💥 Iran BLASTS ‘INCOHERENT’ US proposal as nuclear talks flounder — CNN
Hopes for reviving a nuclear deal between Iran and the US are rapidly fading, as Tehran reportedly slammed Washington’s latest proposal as “incoherent and disjointed,” CNN reported, citing a senior Iranian official.
💬 “At first glance, [the proposal] is assessed as incoherent and disjointed, very unrealistic, and with excessive demands,” the official told CNN — criticizing the US for repeatedly shifting its position.
💬 “The fact that the Americans constantly change their positions has so far been the main obstacle to the success of the talks and now makes the work more difficult than ever.”
🤡 UK BRACES FOR WAR AGAINST ITS OWN FANTASIES
Britain’s new “Strategic Defence Review 2025” is out — a glossy brochure for a military it doesn’t yet have.
The review lists:
🇷🇺 Russia as “an immediate and pressing threat”
🇨🇳 China as “a sophisticated and persistent challenge”
🇮🇷🇰🇵 Iran and North Korea as “regional disruptors”
🏳️ Meanwhile, the UK’s supposedly “10x more lethal” army will rise from 74,400 troops (to a whopping 76,000😱), amid a recruitment crisis and crumbling barracks — powered by lasers, drones, and teenage cadet gap years.
Do 76,000 imaginary troops stand a chance against Russia's 2,389,130?
