🇺🇸🇺🇳⚡️- "Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration.

The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

UN agencies systematically facilitated mass migration into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration.

Now the Global Compact’s latest report urges nations to expand migration pathways and pursue “regularization” of migrants.

UN agencies – working with the NGOs they fund – established a migration corridor through Central America and to the U.S. border.

As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border.

As Europe endured sustained migratory pressure, UN officials staffed all ends of the Mediterranean migration route – from the coast of Libya to the shores of the Aegean to the islands of Greece.

Then UN agencies condemned frontline states who refused to open their borders.

The Global Compact on Migration claims to support “safe” migration.

For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies." - U.S. Department of State.

To our best knowledge, Iran hasn't successfully exported* any crude oil by sea over the past 28 days. Some refined products managed to escape because US OFAC did not slap sanctions on those tankers.

In addition, Kharg Island hasn't loaded any tankers since 2026-05-06 as a result of the oil leak which Tehran denied taking place.

That said, there are still plenty of cargo-empty tankers both inside and outside the blockade perimeter; as well as plenty of cargo-laden tankers grouped together not too far away from Pakistan.

*(Our updated definition of an export out of Iran is when a tanker exfiltrates the US Navy blockade line and doesn't return with the oil.)

🇺🇸⚡- Counterterrorism Chief Sebastian Gorka claims that Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are not conservatives, and that they’d be more promptly labeled as “extremists” or akin to “domestic terrorists.” The move follows an attempt by the Trump Administration to crack down on far-left extremism, and by claiming Fuentes and Carlson are not “right-wing,” or conservatives, they'll be free range for the Trump Administration to persecute.
