Funny how right after China handed over the port to Perú, the US announced they were "building" a train line in Lima, except the "building" was handing out ancient diesel trains from California that had been retired from service for being too old. The kicker is that Perú will have to pay for the refurbishment
Israeli hawks think Trump is better for them than Biden. Trump has a team of Chinese and pro-Israeli hawks, but still Trump is too cautious for Israel with respect to Iran, so economic pressure on Iran is not very effective. Instead of incomprehensible sanctions, they think it's easier to give Israel the green light to demolish Hark Island.
I have always been surprised that Israel, with its small territory, thinks that its army is one of the strongest in the world.
"FT: Trump's goal is to bankrupt Iran
Donald Trump and his new administration are preparing to resume a policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran in order to undermine its ability to finance regional proxy groups and develop nuclear weapons.
The Financial Times newspaper, citing people involved in the White House power shift, writes that there are plans to tighten sanctions, including measures against oil exports, which experts believe could significantly weaken Iran's economy.
"The Trump administration intends to bring back the maximum pressure strategy to bankrupt Iran as soon as possible," a national security expert said.
Trump has expressed his desire for a deal with Iran, emphasising that the consequences of not having an agreement would be catastrophic. However, experts believe that the likelihood of successful negotiations is slim.
Trump has already used maximum pressure tactics in the past, imposing hundreds of sanctions on Iran after the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal. In response, Tehran increased the pace of uranium enrichment, bringing it closer to weapons-grade levels.
Iran's oil exports have more than tripled in the past four years, mainly due to shipments to China. However, Trump's team intends to impose new restrictions to bring export volumes back to their lowest levels.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, known for his tough approach to Iran, will play a key role in these actions. "We hope this will create momentum for negotiations that will stabilise relations and lead to normalisation," said a source familiar with the plans.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that a resumption of the maximum pressure policy would lead to further setbacks, citing Tehran's significant nuclear advances in recent years. He emphasised that Iran is ready to negotiate based on its national interests, but not under threats and pressure.
Today, Ahmed Naderi, a member of Iran's parliament presidium, said the country's nuclear doctrine needs to be "changed." He called for an "atomic bomb test" as soon as possible to change the balance of power in the region.

Nah, Muslim extremism, salafi extremism, wahabism is a challenge because they are worthy opponent. You can see that from the likes of taliban and other groups with their decade long guerilla warfare.
They might be savage but they are worthy opponent because they can mouth challenge.
Hindus will run into their holes in first sign on disaster, and they will beg to be colonized by their superior western masters to feel safe.
