Bibi DARES Hamas; Israel Refuses Gaza Truce Until Hostages Are Freed
Iran's top military commander has warned that the Islamic Republic does not trust Israel to honor the current ceasefire, just six days after a brutal 12-day air war. In a call with Saudi Arabia's defense minister, Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said Iran remains on alert and ready to respond with force if provoked. The conflict, which began with Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killed top commanders and triggered a massive Iranian missile-and-drone retaliation that left dozens dead in Israel. Despite the truce, both sides are bracing for further escalation as distrust and regional tensions remain high.#IranChinaDeal #MiddleEastTensions #AirPowerShift #MilitaryStrategy #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #J10C #ChengduJ10C #FighterJets #AirForceModernization #IranIsraelConflict #PersianGulfCrisis #IranAirForce #IDFStrikes

Trump bans Indian companies over Iran's oil trade but neither they nor Iran will suffer loss of money due to...
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has imposed sanctions on and banned six Indian countries over oil trade with Iran. The purpose of the ban is to destroy Iran's energy trade and shipping network. But he is absolutely wrong as 27 countries of the world are involved in promoting Iran's 'illegal' oil trade, including global superpower, China. Why are US sanctions on Iran futile? Whenever sanctions are imposed or increased on Iran, the illegal trade of oil increases even more. Looking at Iran's major centers of oil trade, it becomes clear that many big powers of the world are promoting Iran, and they do not care about Trump or US sanctions. Data from June 2025 indicates that 6 world-renowned and state-of-the-art ports such as Fujairah, Jebel Ali, Zhoushan, Taicang, Qingdao and Changzhou are part of this network. What is the role of America's good friend UAE in Iran's 'illegal' oil trade promotion? The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is considered to be a close a friend of the USA and an enemy of Iran, but this is not the case with illegal oil trade. The UAE is second to none in promoting Iran's illegal oil trade. Jebel Ali is a major port city located within the Emirate of Dubai, UAE, about 35 kilometres southwest of Dubai city. It is one of the UAE's most important industrial and logistics hubs and Middle East's busiest port by container volume. Fujairah Port is one of the UAE's major ports with many notable facilities. The Al Fujairah Port is the world's second-largest bunkering centre after Singapore and strategically located on the east coast of the UAE. How does Iranian oil trade happen with America's close friend UAE? Fujairah Port is the only maritime hub of the UAE located on the east coast of the UAE and this unique feature further enhances its strategic importance. This port connects shipping routes between the east and the west. It also provides quick connectivity to the road network of all the emirates of the UAE. The distance between the port and the seven emirates ranges from 110 km to 300 km. Apart from this, this port is also connected to other ports of the UAE including Dubai's Jebel Ali Port and Mina Rashid Port. These features greatly promote international and regional trade through Fujairah Port. How is China boosting Iran's oil trade? Zhoushan Port, located in Zhejiang Province of China, is the world's busiest port by cargo tonnage. It is a major hub for handling crude oil, bulk cargo, containers, LNG and ore. The port is known for its deep-water berths and strategic location. The Qingdao New Qianwan Container Terminal remains Asia's first fully automated container terminal and one of the world's most advanced terminals. It can accommodate the world's largest container ships. Also, China buys the most Iranian oil and this is why Tehran's recorded oil exports during Trump's second term have consistently been higher than the levels recorded at the end of the Biden administration in January 2025. From February to June 2025, Iran's crude oil exports averaged 16.7 lakh barrels per day, 37 percent higher than the January 2025 figure. Iran earning billions of dollars despite years of sanctions Iran has been under sanctions for many years, but this has not stopped it from exporting oil. China has benefited from this in particular. In 2023, about 90 percent of the oil exported by Iran went to China as Iran's oil exports generated more than $35 billion in revenue. According to a London-based TV station, Tehran sells its oil at a price 20 percent below the world market price so that it can find customers despite US sanctions. Iranian oil passes through secret sea routes to China and other countries including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Maldives.

China STUNS Trump By ‘Secretly Helping' Friend Iran; Uses Dark Fleet To Buy Iranian Oil
A CBS News investigation has uncovered that China continues to import Iranian oil in defiance of U.S. sanctions by using a secret maritime network known as the "dark fleet." These covert ship-to-ship transfers take place in international waters near Malaysia's Riau archipelago, often without transponders or ship identification. China is believed to be purchasing up to 90% of Iran's crude exports. The report coincides with new U.S. sanctions targeting an alleged Iranian shipping empire linked to Hossein Shamkhani. #DarkFleet #IranOil #ChinaSanctions #OilSmuggling #USSanctions #IranChina #EnergyPolitics #CBSInvestigation #GlobalTrade #MaritimeSecurity
