—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. will attack Iran ‘every night’ from now on, until it makes a deal – Wall Street Journal

There is no way to make this stop except to go all-out against the Arab oil and energy infrastructure in the region.

I hope Iran realizes that this phase is much more existential than the first phase of the war. It must escalate.

Strikes on a nightly basis, especially on this scale, cannot and must not be normalized. That’s a death sentence.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Sources confirm that a draft was finalized during the presence of a Qatari delegation in Tehran yesterday.

Note, this was before the U.S. strikes took place. And the presence of a finalized ‘draft’ framework does not mean Iran’s Leader has approved it.

‘Tell the Iranian people that we have come here to die. If the American enemy sets foot on this pure island, we will fight with everything we have.

Politics and negotiation are not important to us, we know only one thing and that is sacrifice, sacrifice for Iran and the Iranian people.

The conditions here are a little difficult, especially now that temperatures have gone up and at night we are lonely and away from our family and these bombs that are eating away at us, but we still remember the scene of the martyrdom of thousands of our compatriots.

We will protect this land with tooth and nail. We will sacrifice our lives for you.’
