things are escalating very quickly after the united states targeted iranian infrastructure and violated the ceasefire iran has struck back iran has targeted american military infrastructure as well things are escalating this mou is clearly falling apart if you even wanted to say it was in place at all here's what we are learning the irgc the islamic revolutionary guard says
that its Navy has now responded to the United States' strikes on Sirich. The IRGC says that it has struck U.S. military positions in the region after it accused Washington and Trump of violating the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding by carrying out military strikes on Iran's coast. CENTCOM moments ago or slightly earlier announced that it conducted powerful strikes against Iran.
The Iranian statement notes that the US attack followed an Iranian response to the passage of a ship through what Iran called an unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz. and of Israel's violation of the Lebanon ceasefire.
The IRGC cites to Clause 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding, which says Iran has full responsibility for controlling the passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and the IRGC is charging the U.S.,

Chapter 2: What triggered Iran's response to U.S. military actions?
It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. And it pains me to say that CENTCOM and the United States are lying, but the CENTCOM and the United States are lying. Just go and read paragraph five of the MOU. It says the Strait is under the control of Iran and Oman and that Iran makes the arrangements. It's clear. It's unambiguous. It's undisputed. J.D. Vance post, Iran signed a ceasefire agreement.
We have honored it. If they have disagreements of how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone. But violence will be met with violence. Now, you and Trump and the Trump regime are violating the ceasefire. You don't ever do what you say you're going to do under deals. And like with everything Donald Trump does, he never wants to do a deal to begin with.
It's why he wants to have oral understandings, which he manipulates, which aren't understandings at all. If he can't do that, he'll do a framework, but it'll be vague and ambiguous so he can breach. And then if he actually has to put his name on something like an MOU, he'll always find ways to breach it and say, oh, you're the one who breached it.
I mean, this is a guy who's saying that there are... ninja vandals who have dove into the reflecting pool with box cutters. And that's why it's filled with algae and growth. I mean, we're literally dealing with a psychopath here. Now, it should also be noted as well that there is a cyber war going on as well. Just days after the MOU was signed and
Funds were unlocked and sent to Iran, billions of dollars. Iran's banking sector was hit by two waves of cyber attacks that disrupted services at several major banks and temporarily suspended nationwide card transactions, Amwaj Media reported.
British media and cybersecurity analysts said the attacks bore the hallmarks of Predatory Sparrow, a hacking group widely viewed as linked to Israeli's cyber operations. The attacks targeted major state banks, including the Mali Sederat, And the report says the timing has fueled speculation that the attacks were intended to undermine the U.S. and Iran agreement.
Amwad reports the attacks fit a broader pattern of Israeli cyber operations against Iranian infrastructure. Another thing to note is that earlier today, US, that there was a purported Israel-Lebanon framework that was entered into.
Rubio announced, not an agreement, not a deal, announced a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon at the State Department on Friday, signed by the two countries, that this would be a first step forward toward ending months of war.

Chapter 3: How did the IRGC justify their military actions against the U.S.?
Didn't y'all announce, though, like 10 other ceasefires? Those weren't the first step forwards. Those were all just fake market manipulation tactics. Got it, got it, got it. But Hezbollah, which holds the weapons at the center of the conflict, was not a party to this deal and were not invited. Israel says its forces will remain in their security zones.
in southern Lebanon, meaning Israel will occupy southern Lebanon. Netanyahu said this was a major achievement and tied any withdrawal to Hezbollah's full disarmament, though Hezbollah wasn't at these negotiations.
Then the deal creates pilot zones in addition to security zones where the Lebanese army would take exclusive control as Israeli troops redeploy, one south of the Latani River and one north, but It requires Israel to first advance into the pilot zones, but Israel says it keeps the security zones. It just creates new zones.
Okay, we'll go out of the zones, not the security zone, but these two new zones that we create. And Israel's ambassador declared, Iran is out. Hezbollah is out. Now, Hezbollah rejects the agreement.
Chapter 4: How has CENTCOM responded to Iran's military actions?
The Hezbollah member of parliament in Lebanon says that... We are not going to agree to this. We're not supportive of this. More than 4,000 people in Lebanon have been killed in Israeli strikes since March. Israel continued striking the South this week, as recently as yesterday, despite the MOU saying that that can't happen. Now, I'll leave you with this right here.
Just again, I just want to give you the data. Right here, Rubio, when he was in the Middle East, he was asked about the MOU and basically Rubio's like the MOU is not even real. It's just a framework to negotiate in the future. This is the perspective of the Trump regime on everything. Here, play this clip.
Mr. Secretary, the MOU did not include a specific number of years during which Iran could not develop nuclear weapons. Should a final agreement have a specific number? And is the U.S. pushing for that?
An MOU would not have that because an MOU is not a final agreement. An MOU just creates the construct and the outlines for a negotiation. And there's no doubt that as part of that negotiation, very specific terms like years and limits will be discussed. And that includes the mechanisms by which it's verified and enforced.
And then here's what Rubio had to say after meeting with the Gulf Council cooperation countries, the GCC countries. Did you talk to them about the $300 billion fund, which is in the MOU, which you and others said that they're on the hook for, not the United States taxpayers? Rubio said, no, we're not talking about that. We'll deal with it. Do you see how bad faith this is?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding?
I mean, it's just, again, It's in the MOU. So if you thought you had all the negotiating leverage and you didn't want that in the MOU and you said, we can never offer this to Iran. We'll never do it. How dare them? Fair position. Then don't put it in the MOU and don't sign your name on a document that says you owe them $300 billion or you're a guarantor and then tell us it's the Arab nations.
Then don't talk to the Arab nations. it just demonstrates that everything you do is like everything you do is bad faith and it pains me to have to like make that announcement as i report i mean but that's just the truth Here's what Rubio says. Play this clip.
Mr. Secretary, in the meeting with the GCC allies, did any of them make any commitments to pay into this $300 billion reconstruction?
No, it was not discussed. I mean, the reconstruction cut, that's way down the road, and that's something that will be dealt with at the appropriate time in this process. But that was not discussed by anyone.
And of course, Donald Trump at his last speaking engagement earlier said, Iran is dying to make a deal. They're dying. They're just dying to make a deal. What does it even mean they're dying to make a deal? No one's dying. The MOU is done. It's done. Okay. You can negotiate the technical details in a long form and just shut up. Here, play this clip.
They're dying to make a deal. They're giving us a lot. This should have been done over the 47-year period that they've reigned with terror. And that's what they did. They reigned with terror.
