Flamingo Revolution, Israeli footprint, and Albanian PM’s Iranophobic ravings

Tens of thousands of Albanians are rising in a “Flamingo Revolution” against Jared Kushner’s $4.7bn luxury resort on Sazan Island—a strategic Cold War base. Protesters chant “Albania is not for sale” as PM Edi Rama, instead of answering his people, blames Iran. Tehran dismisses his “Iranophobic ravings,” reminding Rama to respect Albanians’ intelligence. Meanwhile, Albania shelters the terrorist MEK (MKO) at Camp Ashraf-3. From a luxury yacht to the streets of Tirana, the pink flamingo now symbolizes a nation refusing to be erased by foreign domination and cronyism.

Trump & Netanyahu: Hoisted by Their Own Petard

After launching a war on Iran on Feb 28, targeting top leaders, Trump and Netanyahu miscalculated. Iran’s 39 days of retaliatory strikes forced a US ceasefire. Now, a 14-point US-Iran MoU nears, obliging Washington to lift blockades and pressure Israel. Netanyahu faces strategic failure and political blow, accused of dragging Israel into a “vassal state” role. Iran’s missile program stays non-negotiable. Once again, reliance on force backfired—boosting Iran’s unity while exposing Western limits. Diplomacy advances, but Israel remains the key obstacle.

Lahore stands with Tehran: Historic gathering renews allegiance to Iran martyred Leader, supports Resistance

Washington’s monetary terrorism & the gangster diktat on Iraq

The US has failed to defeat Iraqi resistance militarily, so it’s now strangling Iraq financially. Iraqi oil revenues sit in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, giving Washington veto power over cash shipments. By blocking dollar flows and canceling waivers, the US engineered an artificial liquidity crisis—fueling inflation and economic pain.

Then came the mafia-style ultimatum: frozen assets will only be released if Shia factions disarm—while armed Kurdish and Sunni units are ignored. Washington demands Iraq surrender its defense shield even as US & Israeli jets routinely violate Iraqi airspace.

Financial blackmail won’t buy submission. The resistance refuses to trade sacred weapons for American dollars.

‼️ Tehran Times Exclusive:

Ex-US Marine: American soldiers must refuse illegal orders

Kenneth O’Keefe, a former US Marine who served in the first Gulf War, tells the Tehran Times that US troops have a duty to disobey unlawful commands—especially in the ongoing war on Iran.

O’Keefe says morale in the US military has “never been lower,” with rising conscientious objectors and acts of “soft resistance” like ship sabotage. He calls the Minab school attack—which killed 168 children—“100% intentional,” serving what he calls a “satanic” agenda.

“The enemy is not Iran,” he asserts. “The enemy is inside our own gates.” His message to American soldiers: refuse orders, or be complicit in war crimes.
