Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Friday all seven recent claims by the US President are lies, and the us will fail in both war and negotiations.
Ghalibaf warned that with continued blockade, the strait of Hormuz will not remain open; shipping will follow only designated routes with Iran’s permission, decided by field conditions not social media.
“The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false. They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either. With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open,” he posted on X.
What just happened?
Yesterday, at 8:45 AM ET, Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz was “completely open” for all commercial vessels.
At 9:06 AM ET, President Trump thanked Iran for reopening the Strait.
Then, at 10:20 AM ET, Trump said Iran and the US were working together to remove all mines from the Strait of Hormuz.
Between 10:40 AM ET and 12:00 PM ET, President Trump said Iran agreed to “never close the Strait again” and to “suspend its nuclear program indefinitely.”

Suddenly, at 6:14 PM ET, Iran’s Speaker of the Parliament said Trump made “seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false.”
Now, Iran has CLOSED the Strait of Hormuz again and oil tankers are being struck.
What just happened behind the scenes?
Full statement by Iran’s military after the new closure of the Strait of the Hormuz:
“Unfortunately, the Americans, with their repeated record of breaching promises, continue to engage in piracy and banditry under the guise of a so-called blockade.
For this reason, control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state and this strategic waterway remains under the strict management and control of the armed forces.
As long as the United States does not enable the complete freedom of movement of vessels from Iran to its destination and from its destination to Iran, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain strictly controlled and in its previous state.”

The ‘age verification’ bill is a Trojan horse for a REQUIRED national digital ID and CBDC system. [VIDEO]
House Resolution 8250, a bill to require mandatory age verification on operating systems like Windows, iOS, and Android, is being described as a “Trojan horse” for a national digital ID system. Guest Austin Steinbart calls the bill a “disaster” and a privacy nightmare, noting it delegates implementation authority to the FTC, which could use biometrics. The system is linked to a larger push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), with quotes from BlackRock’s Larry Fink on the tokenization of all financial assets to create a digital wallet system.

Robot Dogs Patrolling Precious Crops as Food Crisis Deepens
Robot dogs are increasingly finding real life uses as guardians of sensitive sites like AI data centers, the US-Mexico border, and Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. In a dystopian turn, now they’re also guarding valuable cash crops — at least in the US, where industrial agriculture companies like Bayer are deploying robodogs to watch over hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of raw corn.
According to industry publication the Fence Post, Bayer is supplementing human security patrols around its 8,000 acre Hawaiian corn farm with robotic security dogs, supplied by the tech firm Asylon.

How Hitler took Germany from economic ruin to world superpower in only 6 years
Israeli soldiers suspected of raping Palestinian detainee allowed to return to service
Army chief approves return of reservists filmed allegedly torturing a detainee at Sde Teiman
The Israeli army has approved the return to reserve duty of soldiers suspected of torturing and raping a Palestinian detainee.
Army chief Eyal Zamir authorised the move for members of Unit 100, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
Five soldiers from the unit, tasked with guarding prisoners, were implicated in the abuse of a Palestinian detainee at the notorious Sde Teiman detention centre in 2024.
Last month, the charges against the soldiers were dropped. No internal military investigation into the incident has been carried out.
The abuse was captured on surveillance cameras and leaked to Israeli media in August 2024, a month after a far-right mob rioted over the questioning of the soldiers by military police.
The footage shows detained Palestinians lying on the floor with their hands bound and eyes covered.
A group of reservists is then seen taking one detainee aside and attempting to conceal their actions using riot shields.
The detainee they took aside was taken to the hospital after the incident with broken ribs, a punctured lung, a ruptured bowel and severe anal injuries.
In February, five soldiers were charged with aggravated abuse and causing serious bodily harm.

Here's What Happened Inside Gas Stations When Gas Hit $4
In Goldman's first-quarter "Nicotine Nuggets" survey of retailers and wholesalers covering roughly 44,000 U.S. stores, or about 28% of all tobacco outlets nationwide, analysts observed that once the national average for regular 87-octane gasoline hit the politically sensitive $4-a-gallon level, the squeeze on consumers began to emerge. One of the clearest signs of stress was a downshift in purchases as budget-conscious consumers started pulling back on tobacco purchases or, in some cases, trading down.
"The outlook remains cautious but retailers & wholesalers generally see the environment as stable despite ongoing concerns on the consumer and recent pressure from higher gas prices," Bonnie Herzog, managing director and senior consumer analyst at Goldman, wrote in a note on Friday morning.

Bita Hemmati, Ghazal Ghalandari, Golnaz Naraghi, Venus Hossein Nejad, Panah Movahedi, Ensieh Nejati, Mahboubeh Shabani and Diana Taher Abadi
Two of them are teenagers. They all are accused of waging war against Allah by means of protesting it's representatives on earth, the Islamic regime of Iran. [18Apr2026]
"In a fight between a country that allows faggots to adopt little boys and one that doesn't, I'm supporting the one that doesn't."In Iran, sex with women except for procreation is considered haram [unclean]. They have a ritual of dressing up young boys in women's clothes and makeup and having sex with them.
The practice of dressing boys in women’s clothing in certain Muslim-majority regions is known as bacha bazi (literally "boy play") or bacha bereesh (beardless boy). It is not a recognized religious ritual of Islam, but rather a cultural practice that involves the exploitation and sexual abuse of young boys who are dressed as women to dance and entertain at parties.
IRAN SET TO EXECUTE FIRST FEMALE PROTESTER BY HANGING FOR DEFYING THE REGIME
Bita Hemmati has been sentenced to death by hanging in Iran along with her husband Mohammadreza Majid Asl after taking part in the January protests against the regime in Tehran. She is the first woman reported to face execution tied to these demonstrations as the Islamic Republic ramps up its brutal crackdown on dissent. The mullahs in power show zero mercy to those who dare demand freedom while carrying out executions at an alarming rate. Conservatives have always called out the dangers of radical Islamist rule that crushes women and anyone seeking liberty. [17Apr2026]
