IRAN REFUSES TO BOMBARD THE WHITE HOUSE!
Iran's grand revenge plan sounded wonderfully dramatic at the press conference: They would strike the heart of power, the symbol of imperial arrogance – the once quite venerable White House. Unfortunately, a look at current satellite images revealed the sobering reality that the target had apparently already been leveled by a deranged orange-clad assassin.
Tehran has announced that it will refrain from bombing the White House. They don't want to double-cross the cause, they said. Even the Revolutionary Guards have a certain professional pride.

Just read this comment today by Wladimir Kaminer, a Russian-born author and humorist who has lived in Berlin for many years. He is also Jewish, which may help explain why he left Russia. Here is his comment:
"My new cats, two young Bengals, a successful mix of an Asian leopard and a domestic cat, are born hunters. But until now, there hasn't been much for them to hunt in the apartment.
Yesterday, they finally saw a fat spring fly, for the first time in their lives. They were both born in the fall and had no idea what all comes to life in our compost bin in the backyard in March.
The spring fly, fat and determined, flew through the open balcony door into the kitchen and embarrassed itself. I think it quickly realized it had flown into the wrong apartment, but backing out was out of the question. I've noticed before that both people and flies have an extremely hard time admitting their own mistakes. And usually, time has passed quickly, and it's too late to retreat. In our kitchen, the fly could still go back. Instead, it went up high and accelerated, wanting to exploit its superiority from above, to control the altitude, "high ground" being a fundamental principle of military strategy. It didn't do it any good.
The Bengal lights can now jump from the floor to the refrigerator and from there to the ceiling in a matter of seconds. The fly had circled a few times; after ten minutes, it was all over for it.
People also find it difficult to admit their own mistakes, especially when they are old and presidents who unleash wars.
Last week I traveled extensively through Germany between Jena and Bamberg, repeatedly getting stuck in traffic due to protest demonstrations.
It was usually older people demonstrating for peace and against war. They moved slowly, with bells, whistles, and police protection, even though the likelihood of encountering a counter-demonstration for war and against peace was extremely low, practically nonexistent in my view. “Look at these retirees, they have plenty of time and don’t have to hurry,” grumbled the taxi driver next to me, who was in a hurry. “Go get a job!” he shouted at the demonstrators.
I doubted whether this was the right solution. In Germany, there’s a lot of talk and action taken to encourage people of retirement age to work longer. They’re lured with tax breaks and reduced social security contributions, and even psychologists believe that working retirees, on average, live longer and more fulfilling lives. They could have done so many wonderful things: fishing, watching TV, yoga for seniors… Where does this stubbornness, this fear of inactivity, come from?
Instead of going fishing, these working retirees, who are active as global power leaders, are starting wars and threatening our fragile coexistence on the planet. In America and Russia, the presidents should have retired long ago; instead, they remain in power and are destroying peace. For some, it may be life-extending; for many others, it is more likely life-shortening.
The American operation "Epic Fury"—that's what they call the bombing of Iran—was supposed to lead to regime change in Tehran. Instead, this fury is spiraling out of control and drawing more and more countries into its orbit. Just a few months ago, the Americans had already definitively destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities with their "Midnight Hammer" operation, much to the world's relief. The president celebrated the victory, loudly proclaiming that it had "gone wonderfully" and that Iran was now "set back decades" in uranium enrichment.
Was he lying back then? His Russian counterpart also constantly spins fairy tales about his highly successful "special operation" to conquer Ukraine, when a glance at the map shows that the front line is dead, frozen, and any movement within the 20-kilometer-wide "kill zone" is prevented from the air. I dare say that both presidents are not stupid, even if they like to pretend otherwise. They know that their wars have landed them in the wrong hands. But backing down is out of the question for them. The pensioners never give up; they fight to the bitter end. The epic fury of the Americans and the "special operation" of the Russians continue to crumble, more and more countries are being drawn in, and it wouldn't be out of the question that the two wars will eventually meet in the Persian Gulf, where the Russians are supporting Iran with leftover ships, while Ukraine, with its highly developed drone defense, is helping the Americans. We, the civilian population, will primarily foot the bill.
We now know how to encourage pensioners to work longer. It would be good to explore how to talk them out of working, kindly but firmly. There are so many wonderful ways to pass the time: fishing, watching television, yoga for seniors, and so on."

Exclusive: These are the 15 points in Trump's Iran peace plan
Are negotiations taking place between the US and Iran or not? No one really knows for sure at the moment – it's Donald Trump's word against the Iranian government's. However, the US president's peace plan, which comprises 15 points and which he intends to convince the Iranian leadership of, is guaranteed to be genuine. The Postillon, which was accidentally invited to the Pentagon's WhatsApp group by Pete Hegseth, has obtained the list exclusively:
1. Iran recognizes that Donald Trump is the best president the United States has ever had.
2. The Strait of Hormuz will henceforth be called the Strait of America.
3. Iran will cease resisting. That's truly outrageous.
4. Iran agrees to share the Revolutionary Guard's expertise in the execution of civilians with ICE agents.
5. Iran recognizes Donald Trump as its religious and political leader.
6. Iran will build at least twelve Trump International golf resorts and four Trump hotels.
7. Iran will join Donald Trump's Peace Council.
8. All Iranians must immediately watch the movie "Melania."
9. Iran will acquire all remaining stocks of Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles, Trump trading cards, and Trump condoms.
10. All potholes on the Strait of Hormuz (hereafter renamed the Strait of America, see point 2) will be repaired immediately.
11. Iran will immediately cease being on the verge of developing an atomic bomb for over 30 years.
12. Iran will host Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump every other weekend.
13. Iran agrees to store the Epstein files in Tehran and then "accidentally" destroy them.
14. Iran will grant the United States the right to drill for oil anywhere in Iran.
15. Donald Trump will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
If Iran agrees to all these points, Washington promises to cease all hostilities in return, until Israel tells the US to resume hostilities.
