Excerpt “I have made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we’ve made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly — very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing… We have all the cards; they have none.” President Trump Delivers Powerful Primetime Address on Operation Epic Fury April 1, 2026 PDF: dt1.4.2026

„[…] What can the Global Majority do? What should the BRICS, the Non-aligned movement, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Shanghai Cooperation Organiation do? I would propose to BDS both Israel and the United States. Rhetoric alone will not reverse the downward spiral toward universal chaos. Those who are at war with the UN Charter and the world must be isolated economically. A campaign to boycott, divest and sanction must be organized and followed-through. This would entail, inter alia, ceasing any purchases of weapons and technology from the US and Israel. Stop buying F-16, F-35, Boeing, Lockheed/Martin, Raytheon, General Motors, Caterpillar etc. Divest from US stocks and bonds. Sell off all US Treasury bonds. Stop supplying the US and Israel with “rare earths”. Such concerted action would immediately impact the economies of these two rogue countries. Perhaps the citizens of those countries (I am an American citizen myself) will understand the gravity of the situation, go out on the streets with signs “Not in our Name”, “If the government does not stop the war and the genocide, we will stop the government”. My generation did that when I was a student at Harvard in the late 60’s and early 70’s in protest against the crimes being committed by the US during the Vietnam war. Concretely, this means organizing general strikes, refusing to load weapons on ships, refusing to cooperate with the pursuance of an illegal war not authorized by the US Congress. We must kick out those undemocratic “leaders” who do not represent us. The people do not want to send their children to war. They want peace, not perpetual war. We demand a return to sanity and observance of the fundamental rules of civilization.“

Who will pay billions in reparations to Iran? We will.
In the coming years, if Iran survives as a sovereign state and retains control over the Strait of Hormuz, countries like Australia, New Zealand, the UK, South Korea and Japan will be made to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations for the US-Israeli war on Iran. Payments, according to Lloyds, have already started and could rise to a rate of over $200 million a day once hostilities cease. For this to come to pass, Iran must fight the aggressors to a standstill and ensure they can impose, if necessary, a chokehold on the oil, gas and fertilizers vital to the global economy. So, when next you see an image of spectacular US-Israeli violence, think this: “I might have to pay for that”.
