Tehran declares Islamabad Agreement, MoU with US terminated, says the framework has officially collapsed after Trump’s remarks in Turkey

The Islamic Republic of Iran has declared the Islamabad Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding with the United States terminated, saying the framework has officially collapsed after President Trump’s remarks.

Tehran says the development gives it a broader mandate to confront the United States, Israel, and what it describes as their regional and global proxies. US bases in the middle east have been targeted in response to the US airstrike against iran by the US military.

US President Donald Trump had on Wednesday in Turkey, said the truce with Iran is over.

"For me, the truce with Iran is over. They are evil, sick people, and we must get rid of them. They are a cancer."

Trump, stated that, as far as he is concerned, the truce with Iran is over. Tehran has stated that any passage through the waterway must be coordinated with the Iranian military. The United States has responded with attacks on Iran, while Tehran is sending drones and missiles to U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemns repeated Iranian attacks against Kuwait and Bahrain, affirming that these acts constitute a violation of state sovereignty and international law. The same Kingdom supported the joint US and Israel's unprovoked attacks against the Islamic Republic.


According to U.S. government sources, the U.S. Navy is expected to relaunch its naval blockade operation against Iran within the next few hours.


The plan would not only bar the Islamic Republic from exporting petrochemical products and natural gas but also prevent commercial vessels from operating from Iranian ports. The sources further indicated that the operation would be more extensive than previous efforts and would be accompanied by daily airstrikes against military targets in Iran.


Trump didn’t wait for Washington. He reportedly gave the green light to strike Iran while attending the NATO summit in Turkey. Diplomacy just took a back seat to military force. Trump warns the US could take out Iran's electricity and water plants if necessary, but says he does not want to do so.


He said Israel would have been “blown to pieces” by Iran without him as president and Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, saying the two had made “a lot of progress” with Iran.


“If you had other prime ministers, you know what? There wouldn’t be an Israel right now,” Trump told reporters at a NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday. “It would have been blown to pieces by Iran.”


“If you had a weak prime minister ... And if you had a different president, I guarantee there wouldn’t be an Israel. Israel wouldn’t exist today if you didn’t have me as president,” Trump added.


“We’ve made a lot of progress with Iran, too,” Trump said. “Wiped out their military, but they should have been done 47 years ago.”


Certainly, Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz in the event of any fresh attacks on the country and strike at least two enemy targets for every Iranian target hit, Press TV reported Wednesday citing an informed source.


The source said Iran would give a “powerful response” to any threat and would not distinguish between the United States and its regional partners


Trump, in a strategic move to booster the middle eastern front against Iran and proxy allies, lifted all sanctions against Syria.

On the seemly success of his efforts to mobilise NATO allies to joining the war against Tehran, Trump said the United States might abandon efforts to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, saying it could achieve its objectives without one.

"I don't know if we're going to have a deal," Trump told reporters in Ankara. "We may just do it without a deal, because you know what, it's easier."

Trump said Iran's leaders "lie and they cheat" and accused them of reneging on commitments after negotiations.

"They'll never build a nuclear weapon under our deal," he said. "But I don't know if we're going to have a deal."

Trump also criticized former US President Barack Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran, calling it "one of the worst tragedies" in the Middle East and saying, "Our deal is a wall to a nuclear weapon. His deal was a road to a nuclear weapon."

French President Emmanuel Macron Wednesday said he believed meetings under the 60-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States would continue despite Iranian strikes on US bases in the Persian Gulf.

Macron said the strikes violated the interim accord and that Iran had been mistaken to carry them out. Both Trump and Iranian leaders said separately on Wednesday that the agreement was "over".

On his own part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday he hoped the US-Iran memorandum of understanding would help bring peace to the region.

“Türkiye remained optimistic but cautious,” Erdogan said at a press conference at the NATO Summit in Ankara alongside French President Emmanuel Macron.

Erdogan warned that measures “must be taken against provocations.”

According to an online report, a source close to Iran's chief negotiator says Iran is preparing a massive, coordinated strike on Israel—hundreds of drones and missiles, including new, never-before-seen weapons—following intelligence that Israel could attack as early as today, per some Iranian outlets.

The source pointed to Hegseth's abrupt Israel trip cancellation and Trump's warning — "I will probably hit them hard again tonight" — as confirmation that escalation is imminent.

The source also emphasized Netanyahu's political calculus: facing October elections, he needs a show of strength — and a strike on Iran would boost his standing. Israel's refusal to withdraw from Lebanon and its willingness to act alone has convinced Tehran that an attack is coming. Iran is preparing accordingly.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for the United States and Iran to return “back to the ceasefire” and implement a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Starmer warned that the economic situation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere would worsen if the violence continued.

“Household bills are likely going to be impacted if we don’t get that situation as quickly as possible,” he said.

The latest US strikes were a “serious violation” of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, CBS News reported citing government sources inside Iran

Iran has now suspended all talks on a final nuclear settlement with the US, per Iranian source to TASS.

This follows Iran's earlier termination of the Memorandum of Understanding

Without Doubt, Nigeria will need Dr Peter Adole Agada in the steering wheels of the nation for progress and modern development oriented leadership.

*WHY NIGERIA NEEDS HIM NOW*

Nigeria’s infrastructure crisis isn’t just lack of money. It’s waste, abandonment, and lack of integration. Arc. Dr. Agada hits all three problems at once:

Nigeria’s Problem and What He Brings

₦3T+ yearly waste from inflated contracts and abandoned projects —Open BOQ + Acoustic expertise: He knows how to read a Bill of Quantities and spot inflated costs. As an architect, he understands that you don’t build without approved drawings and measured quantities.

12,000+ abandoned projects littering the country — Finish-first policy: His Congress of Professionals has been pushing “complete old projects before starting new ones” since 2006. He has the template.

Fragmented planning: Housing, energy, transport all operate in silos — Integrated master planning: http://LABOURDIRECT.COM connects all sectors so roads, housing, energy, and logistics are planned together, not in isolation.

No trust in government spending — Transparency + accountability background: Finance director experience + shadow minister role means he understands public scrutiny and will deliver visible results.

Slow implementation: 2-3 years just for design and approvals — Ready-to-deploy solutions: He already has master plans and policy frameworks. You skip the consulting phase and move straight to execution.

THE 100-DAY VALUE

If you appoint him today:

-Day 30: He can audit and publish the real status of all abandoned FG projects using his BOQ expertise.

Day 60: He can roll out http://LABOURDIRECT.COM as the government’s infrastructure planning dashboard.

Day 100: He can break ground on 2-3 integrated projects that combine housing + energy + transport, because he’s designed them already.

The Architect’s Advantage: Most ministers are politicians. He’s a builder who understands policy. He doesn’t just talk infrastructure. He can draw it, cost it, build it, and defend it.

The Timing Advantage: Nigeria just removed fuel subsidy. People need to see visible infrastructure and housing delivery fast to restore trust. He has the designs and the delivery framework to do it.

In one line: Arc. Dr. Peter Agada is the man who can design the building, write the policy for it, cost it transparently, and deliver it without abandonment.

He is 54yrs old from Ai'odo 2 ward of Ogbadibo LGA , Benue State Nigeria. Married with 8 kids. 3 are adopted from his late Younger brother.

President Trump said the US will consider selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, saying Ankara “has been, in many ways, much more loyal than other countries.”

President Trump again confirms that Turkey could have joined the war and likely would have sided against Israel. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly opposed the sale of F-35s to Turkey, warning that Turkey remains a major long-term challenge to Israel's security.

Ukrainian Zelensky Raises Alarms, Russia Preparing New Massive Strike After US Independence Day and Ahead of NATO Summit

Putin congratulates Trump and American people on US Independence Day

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has stated on Sunday that fresh intelligence indicates Russia is preparing another large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine. 

He described it as typical of Putin — launched right after America’s Independence Day and just before the NATO summit in Ankara (July 7–8).

 Zelensky urged Ukrainians to heed air raid sirens and called on Western partners, especially the US, to speed up delivery of air defense missiles to save lives. 

According to monitoring channels, report Russian already finished preparations for the next attack in next 48 hours

Russian authorities have reiterated last week that there is no going back on the special military operations in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has been between the US led NATO and the Russia Federation.

The US is providing intelligence to help Ukraine plan and execute drone attacks deep inside Russia, including routes to dodge air defenses.

 At the same time, Russian negotiators are pushing hard for big Ukrainian concessions especially on territory, and US-brokered peace talks are unlikely to restart before late summer or even February 2027. Both sides remain far apart.

vice president JD Vance claims Russia's Offensive Gains "Almost Nothing" as Ukraine's Defense Paves Way for Peace. 

JD Vance stated that Russia's battlefield offensives are achieving very little despite heavy losses, while Ukraine's defensive successes (avoiding costly attacks like in 2023) are weakening Russia and helping create conditions to end the war through diplomacy. He praised the shift to defense + drones as far more effective.

According to Global Surveillance, RUSSIA has Completed its  Preparations for Major Combined missile and drone attack on UKRAINE.

Russia has finished preparations for the next large-scale combined attack using missiles and drones.

5+ Tu-95MS strategic bombers from the Far East to bases closer to Ukraine Olenya and Engels-2, with more bombers and possible Tu-160s available. 

Expected weapons include:

 Kalibr cruise missiles

6 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles

 Iskander, Zircon, and other missiles

Geran-2/Gerbera attack drones

The attack is expected either tonight and tomorrow night with targets include western Ukraine, Kyiv and kyiv oblast

Putin congratulates Trump and American people on US Independence Day

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump held a new phone call, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.

The call was initiated by the American side and lasted 1 hour and 25 minutes.

During the call, Putin congratulated Trump and the American people on US Independence Day, marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.

The Russian president also recalled Russia’s contribution to the formation of American statehood and wished Trump continued success in hosting the FIFA World Cup in the United States.

Russia proposes six-hour ceasefire in Konstantinovka As Iran Rejects Trump's demand of a toll-free Strait of Hormuz

Russia expects Ukraine to respond to the proposal for a pause in fighting by Sunday noon, the Russian Defense Ministry said




Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin was briefed on the full liberation of Konstantinovka - one of the most important logistics and defensive hubs in northern Donbass

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia has no plans to stop its "Special Military Operation" (SVO) in Ukraine.

According to him, fighting will continue until Moscow achieves its goals, including Ukrainian neutrality and recognition of Russian-controlled territories.


Peskov said peace is possible quickly if Ukraine meets Russia's demands, but otherwise military operations proceed.




According to Sputnik, quoting USMC veteran and geopolitical analyst Brian Berletic,  with its superior industrial base and ability to maintain larger numbers of trained soldiers, Russia can maintain pressure on both Ukraine and its NATO backers until either of them cracks.

" Russia has been able to hit highly expensive and difficult-to-replace military hardware transferred to Ukraine, as well as industrial facilities, command centers and dual-use infrastructure"

Moscow attacks are degrading Ukraine “faster than either it itself or its Western sponsors can replenish manpower, equipment, and ammunition”
 Western military production or the scale of Ukrainian drone attacks have so far failed to match those of Russia’s

Vladimir Putin ordered the continuation of strikes against military targets in Ukraine during the meeting with Russia’s Chief of General Staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov


Meanwhile, in the middle east, Iran had rejected American Donald Trump's demand of a toll-free Strait of Hormuz, announcing China will be granted "special considerations" on Iran's planned Strait of Hormuz fees at the World Peace Forum in Beijing, with Iran's ambassador to China Fazli adding "we will definitely have special considerations for China, because China is a friendly country," and Iran will extend similar preferential treatment to other "countries which are friendly to us," per Bloomberg.

Iran will impose "new arrangements concerning the Strait of Hormuz with the collaboration and cooperation of Oman" as the Strait is now a matter of Iran's "national security" following the war, with China buying almost all of Iran's oil exports.


The US and Gulf Arab countries reject Iran's planned fees while European nations now view fees as "inevitable" and some Gulf Arab officials privately hold the same view, pressing Iran only not to "discriminate based on nationality."

On further negotiations, Trump said the U.S. and Iran have agreed to pause negotiations for a week until the events surrounding Ali Khamenei’s funeral conclude, adding that neither side will “shoot at the other” during that period, according to Axios.

Trump also claimed the Iranians “are begging to make a deal” and said, “They are all there. One shot and we can take them all out, but we are not going to do that because then we would have nobody to negotiate with.” He added that he was surprised to see mourners crying at Khamenei’s funeral, saying, “Maybe it’s fake tears.”

Russian Putin calls for continued massive strikes on Ukraine’s military-industrial infrastructure

Russian President has called for continued massive strikes on Ukraine’s military-industrial infrastructure in response to the Ukrainian terrorists attacks against Russia.


“Massive group strikes on the infrastructure of Ukraine’s military-industrial complex must be continued,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said while visiting an auxiliary command post of the Joint Group of Forces.

Vladimir Putin stated that Russian forces have fully completed the "liberation" of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) and are continuing to destroy Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), as well as in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

According to a report by the Sputnik, Putin confirmed that Russian forces have liberated 133 towns and liberated, along with more than 3,000 square kilometers of territory in the Donbass and Novorossiya since the start of 2026.

Konstantinovka is one of most important logistics and defensive hubs in northern Donbass.


Together with Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, it forms a heavily fortified belt that supports Ukrainian operations across the region.

The American led NATO war against Russia in Ukraine have not been able to crush or for for Moscow to retreat from its special military operations in Ukraine.
