— There is an occupation, and this occupation has continued day by day in different forms with thieves called settlers stealing Palestinian lands.

The US has warned of potential sanctions for any country considering business deals with Iran, hours after India signed a 10-year contract to operate a port with Tehran.

India had entered an agreement to develop the strategically important Chabahar port, close to Iran's border with Pakistan, in 2016.

On Monday, it signed a long-term deal with Iran to develop it further.

India's shipping minister called it a "historic moment in India-Iran ties".


But the move may not go down well with the US, which has imposed more than 600 sanctions on Iranian-related entities over the past three years.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, the country's State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said, when asked about the deal, that the US sanctions on Iran are still in place and that Washington would continue to enforce them.

"Any entity, anyone considering business deals with Iran - they need to be aware of the potential risks that they are opening themselves up to and the potential risk of sanctions," he said.

You don't know what you are talking about. I said over 700k American died during the occupation of Iraq. Nothing have changed since the 70's, wars are still being fought same way. America dropped more bombs on Vietnam than all the bombs dropped by all countries during the second World War. They still lied about their casualties there as over 1.5million Americans died. America have completed dvmb the world to think their soldiers are robot or cyborg. Even the Houthis have killed over a thousand American since October. America can fool the world but not me.

cheesy grin

America and isreal can't fool me too.
They downplay their numbers alot.
Imagine isreal claiming to have lost just 140+ soldiers since October 7.
Baba iron.
Those guys have lost nothing less than 5000 since then.
How can you lose close to 1000 tanks yet 140 soldiers?
They don't even know how to lie sef

No. A president needs to be calm, rational and have foresight.

Medvedev position as Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation is strategic.

He's second only to Putin who is the chairman of the Security Council.

⚡Maria Zakharova:

“British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivered a condemning speech today at the Policy Exchange analytical center:

"Putin's recklessness has brought us closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation than anything since the Cuban Missile Crisis. When Putin halted gas supplies, it had a devastating impact on people's lives and jeopardized our energy security. In a world of escalating conflicts and constant danger, a hundred million people were forced to flee their homes."

Sunak's lies are so desperate that he evokes pity. Could it just be sheer ignorance?

To make it clearer for Sunak, let's break it down:

Firstly, regarding the "dangerous nuclear escalation," it's the Kiev regime, not anyone else, that's shelling Europe's largest nuclear power plant – the Zaporizhzhia NPP. This is known by everyone, including the IAEA, and of course, Downing Street.


Secondly, Russia never stopped gas supplies, not for a second. This is an undeniable fact. Moreover, it was the US, along with its scattered cronies in NATO, that prohibited hydrocarbon imports from Russia. Initially, they did it themselves, then through the G7, pressuring the EU to refrain from purchasing Russian pipeline and liquefied natural gas. Yet, even after all this, Russia remains the most reliable supplier, fully meeting its contractual obligations.

If anyone caused "devastating impacts on people's lives," it's those who ordered the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. And when Russia proposed creating a transparent international mechanism under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General, they made international investigation of this act of terrorism impossible. Who are these malicious countries?

The US, which promised to destroy the pipeline, Britain, and France, which blocked the relevant resolution in the UN Security Council.

You, Rishi, are the Prime Minister of Britain. You should remember the position you instructed your diplomats to take in the Security Council on this matter.


By the way, London's allies, American diplomats, then called the Russian initiative "an attempt to discredit competent investigations currently being conducted by Sweden, Denmark, and Germany." "National competent investigations" ultimately amounted to nothing: investigations in Sweden and Denmark were terminated, the cases closed, and Germany is following suit.

Now, Sunak's biggest lie. That Moscow allegedly stopped supplying energy resources. Well, the remaining functional thread – the B pipeline of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline system – is still operational. But it's closed on the Western end. European leaders, including Scholz, openly admit that they "can hardly envision the operationalization of the remaining thread of the gas pipeline." Why? Because Washington forbids it.

Thirdly, about immigration and "a hundred million people forced to flee their homes." Spare us the mockery, Rishi, or better yet, don't become a laughingstock.


Iraq. Libya. Yemen. Afghanistan. The Arab Spring. Escalation in the Middle East. The Sudanese crisis. All these are the results of Western engineering that triggered the displacement of millions of people, not only to other regions but straight to the afterlife. And this is primarily the result of Anglo-Saxon crimes. Ask your minister, Cameron, he voted for the invasion of Iraq back then and later tried to halt the investigation into British military crimes.

I want to remind you separately that it was thanks to the efforts of the West that the "Islamic State" was created. We have repeatedly talked about this.


And finally, about today. It was the British, among others, who stood behind two unconstitutional coups in Ukraine, which led to civil war, the rise of nationalism, and undermined security in the region. This, in turn, led to several waves of refugees from Ukraine, millions of citizens who headed to Russia. And it was our country that welcomed hundreds of thousands of people from Ukrainian territory in 2014, then provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine for 7 years, and then became the home for millions of those whom it considers representatives of the fraternal people.”
