—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 BREAKING: After an anti-Iran resolution was adopted at the IAEA Board of Governors, Iran has sent a letter to the Director General of the IAEA officially announcing that the Cairo Agreement has been terminated and is no longer valid

The Cairo Agreement, which was a temporary understanding that regulated Iran's cooperation with the IAEA after the 12-day war, was already practically dead following the implementation of UN SnapBack sanctions, but is now officially terminated.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Basically this.

They keep going in circles.

IAEA does bad thing:
> Cooperation terminated.

Two months later:
> Inspectors are back in Iran

IAEA does another bad thing:
> Ok Ok now cooperation is done FOR REAL, like I PROMISE

One month later:
> We have decided to resume partial cooperation with the IAEA

—❗️🇺🇸/🇻🇪 BREAKING: Via radio, a 48-character long Emergency Action Message (EAM) was transmitted by the U.S. Nuclear Command & Control system

Such messages are usually transmitted amid political crises or on the day of major military operations. Similar EAMs were issued during Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel.

The transmissions contain instructions to U.S. nuclear forces in case of various scenarios. Today's transmission was unusually long.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: According to the New York Times, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee hosted Jewish-American spy Johnathan Pollard at his official residence in Jerusalem back in July and delibertely kept the visit off his official meeting record, with the White House not aware of the visit

Pollard, a former Naval Intelligence Analyst, was convicted of spying for Israel in 1987 and was allowed to move to Israel in 2020 after President Trump terminated his parole early by commuting his sentence.

Since his release in 2015 the official State Department and Intelligence community policy has been to avoid any official contacts with Pollard due to the gravity of his treason which is widely viewed as the worst case of espionage in American history.
