US-Iran War: Trump lobbies Russian Putin, Chinese Xi Not to Sell Weapons To Tehran , Denied Selling Weapons To Ukraine

US-Iran War: Trump lobbies Russian Putin, Chinese Xi Not to Sell Weapons To Tehran , Denied Selling Weapons To Ukraine


The President of the United States Donald Trump on Friday said both the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chinese President Xi Jun ping have assumed him they will not sell weapons to the Iran.






Trump denied selling weapons to Ukraine, claiming the United States simply sells them to NATO countries.




He stated that he "has no idea how the weapons are distributed" after purchase.




In the same publication, the American president noted that neither Russia nor China supplies weapons to Iran.

President Trump said he takes at face value testimony from the leaders of China and Russia that they are not providing weapons to Iran or otherwise “participating” in its war with the United States and Israel.




The president’s defense, issued in a statement on his social media site Truth Social, comes after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told lawmakers that Russia and China are “enabling Iran.”




According to Trump, “President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies,” Trump wrote, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping.




He Said, “Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President Putin … told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran.”




“Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests.” He said.




Iranian military and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have demonstrated resilient, bravery, courage and capabilities with a home grown technology in ballistic missiles productions that have become the nemesis and nightmare to the American forces and NATO allies alike.




As Britain has already gave in to Trump to use UK's military base against Iran, Bulgaria has also joined, allowing the United States to use it's air base against Tehran.




President Trump thanked Bulgaria’s Rumen Radev after the country’s parliament approved allowing the US military to use Bezmer Air Base in support of American operations amid the war with Iran.




“Thank you Prime Minister Radev!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, sharing a Newsmax report on the parliamentary vote despite Tehran’s warnings to Bulgaria.




Israel's IDF is expected to join in the coalition campaigns against Iran.


Sources confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a nearly 5-hour security cabinet meeting Saturday amid ongoing tensions with Iran.

Decision reached on the conditions to join the campaign; Israel is expected to join the campaign if Iran attacks Israel, if Washington requests it, and if the operation expands beyond tactical strikes around the Strait of Hormuz to include Iran's regime and nuclear program.




According to sources familiar with the discussions with Washington, Israel and the U.S. are fully aligned on the next phase.




Again, Netanyahu is expected to travel to Washington on Monday to meet President Trump on Tuesday, where the two are expected to coordinate their next steps.


Up to a hundred Refueling aircraft and lighter jets have been moved to Israel ahead of the planned major military onslaught against Iran.




Nothing justified the coalition war against Iran.

There was also a report that the UAE supplied targeting intelligence and flew defensive air cover for the strikes Kuwait and Bahrain carried out against Iran.




Bridges around Bandar Abbas area and power facilities in Kish Island were destroyed.




IRGC is warning civilians in Kuwait, the UAE and other countries in the Persian Gulf.




Their words: Stay at least 500 meters away from any building, hotel, base or location where U.S. soldiers are hiding.




The latest announcement from the head of Iran’s joint command also stated that for every single Iranian killed, they will kill one member of U.S. forces.




That means hotels. Residential buildings. Beaches. Malls. Multiple civilian locations are in serious danger.




America, the UK, Australia, Germany and France are telling their citizens to get out of the Middle East. Airports in the UAE and Kuwait could suffer shutdowns for months.




The Persian Military has warmed the UK with Khorramshahr-4 Intercontinental ballistic missiles, declaring RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia "legitimate targets" for hosting U.S. B-1 bombers, Tasnim News.




"The U.S. shifted to British bases after depleting cruise missile stocks. We warn the British monarchy not to burden its case further."




The Khorramshahr-4, used in the March 19 strike on Diego Garcia (3,800km away), could reach parts of the UK. Britain would have just 20 minutes warning — Mach 10.




The Donald Trump's war against Tehran is causing the whole world a lot of pains. For the Russia and China to allow Trump's planned demolition of Iran is to allow another Libya error or a repeat of Iraq blunders by the American led NATO imperialism.




Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and many other IRGC leaders have severally said Iran will not accept a ceasefire until its demands on the Strait of Hormuz are met, state TV reports

7.1-magnitude earthquake strikes southern Mexico

7.1-magnitude earthquake strikes southern Mexico

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake has struck in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, rattling buildings in the country’s capital more than 200 kilometers (124 miles) away, RT reported.
The tremor struck on Tuesday morning, with Mexico's National Seismological Service rating its strength at 7.1. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), meanwhile, recorded it as a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. Such a huge quake is classified as 'major', and can cause serious damage.




The USGS placed the quake's epicenter along the southern coastline of Oaxaca, yet its effects were felt as far inland as Mexico City. Videos taken in the capital show buildings and power lines swaying, as what sounds like dull explosions ring out in the background.


There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Photographs from the town of La Crucecita, just 20km from the epicenter, show streets strewn with rubble and damage to buildings.
In one Mexico City suburb, the seismic waves could be seen literally pulling the ground apart.

According to the USGS, around 18 earthquakes above magnitude 7 occur globally every year. The last such quake to strike Mexico hit Oaxaca in 2018, killing 14 people. One year earlier, the deadly Puebla earthquake struck 55km from Mexico City, killing 370 people and injuring more than 6,000, and leveling more than 40 buildings.

Mexico is one of the world’s most seismically-active regions, owing to its position atop several tectonic plates. As a result, the country experiences an average of 40 earthquakes every day, the majority of them minor. Mexico City, however, is built on a dry lake bed, and its soft soil amplifies the effects of any major tremors. RT

OPEC+ to continue negotiations for reaching consensus with Mexico

OPEC+ to continue negotiations for reaching consensus with Mexico

Mexico ready to cut oil production by 100,000 barrels for next two months — minister

The OPEC+ agreement to reduce oil production by 10 million barrels per day will be preserved despite Mexico’s withdrawal from the deal, sources told TASS on Friday.

"The deal is preserved, but the agreement is now conditional. I think we will try to win Mexico’s consent during the G20 talks on Friday," one of the sources said.

Another source confirmed this information, adding that the OPEC+ talks still continue.

A source taking part in the ongoing negotiations told reporters earlier on Friday that Mexican Energy Minister Rocio Nahle disagreed to the proposed OPEC+ oil cuts and left the video conversation, "enraged."

TASS sources also said the negotiations continued even after the Nahle withdrew from the conversation.

The OPEC+ talks in the format of a video conference began at 17:00 Moscow time on April 9 and continued overnight. TASS sources said that the participants agreed to cut their combined oil production by 10 barrels per day in May-June. However, during the discussion on each country’s quotas, Mexico rejected the proposed reduction of 400,000 barrels per day from the figures of October 2018.

One of the sources said Mexico disagreed with the basic level for the reduction. During the talks, Nahle argued that her country’s oil output was higher recently, and, therefore, the country should reduce less.

In line with the OPEC+ plan, Mexico was supposed to reduce its oil production from the basic figure of 1.75 million barrels per day. However, according to the International Energy Agency, the country produced 1.95 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2019.

According to a statement issued after the talks, OPEC+ ministers expect to reach consensus with Mexico, which disagreed with proposed oil production cuts.

"The above agreement is conditional on the consent of Mexico, including volunteered adjustment in the attached tables," the statement says.

The secretariat also calls upon other oil producing nations to make their contribution into stabilizing the oil market.

"Participating Countries will meet on 10 June 2020 via webinar, to determine further actions, as needed to balance the market," the document says.

A discussion about terms proposed by Mexico is scheduled to take place within the framework of G20 talks, scheduled for 15:00 Moscow time on Friday, April 10.

After leaving the talks on Friday, Energy Minister Rocio Nahle said in a Twitter post that Mexico had offered reduce its oil production by 100,000 barrels per day for the next two months as part of the OPEC+ deal.

According to TASS sources, during Thursday’s talks OPEC+ nations suggested that Mexico reduce its oil production by 400,000 barrels per day.

At least 19 killed in Mexico gang clash

At least 19 killed in Mexico gang clash

Profile picture
Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) (AFP) - A gang battle in Mexico has left at least 19 people dead in the northern state of Chihuahua, officials said Saturday.

At least five armed clashes have occurred in the Madera community so far this year, local authorities have said.

"The state attorney general, in conjunction with the public safety office and Mexican Army, launched an operation to investigate and locate armed groups that staged a confrontation that left 19 people dead yesterday in the town of Madera," authorities said.

According to early reports, the bloodshed occurred Friday evening when alleged hitmen of the Gente Nueva group, part of the Sinaloa Cartel, were driving on a dirt road in Madera.

There they were ambushed by men from the opposing group La Linea, part of the Juarez Cartel.

Responding authorities seized 18 long firearms, one short, two vehicles and two grenades at the site of the clash.

The Mexican government has blamed the La Linea cartel for the massacre of nine Mexican-American Mormons last November when they were traveling on a rural road between the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, which borders the United States.

Run Away Ex-CEO of Mexican state oil firm arrested in Spain on corruption charges

Run Away Ex-CEO of Mexican state oil firm arrested in Spain on corruption charges

Ex-CEO of Mexican state oil company Pemex, Emilio Lozoya was arrested in Spain on corruption charges, Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) confirmed on Wednesday.

The FGR "confirms Spanish authorities arrested Emilio 'L' in that country," the agency said via Twitter. Emilio Lozoya, who ran Pemex from 2012 to 2016, fled Mexico in mid-2019, after federal judges ordered his arrest, initially for embezzling public funds and later for having accepted bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.

Lozoya was arrested in the southern Spanish city of Malaga on an arrest warrant issued by Mexico. "We have to make it very clear: he was arrested to be extradited," Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero said in an interview with local media.

The search for Lozoya began in Germany and continued through several European countries before concluding in Spain, said Gertz. He is accused of accepting some 10.5 million U.S. dollars in bribes from Odebrecht in exchange for Pemex contracts.

In plea deals with prosecutors in the United States, Odebrecht's top executives have admitted to running a multinational bribery scheme to secure lucrative government contracts.

Authorities said Lozoya's family members helped him hide the money trail. His mother Gilda Austin was arrested in Germany and charged in Mexico with depositing illicit funds in her bank accounts.
