An... ID card exposed the US nuclear heist in Isfahan - The fake pilot rescue was a fiasco operation

Why Ryder's ID found in Iran indicates a US ground intervention in Isfahan, which also failed spectacularly

Evidence fell into the hands of the Iranians that testifies to and exposes the real nature of the American operation of the United States on Sunday 6/4 in the Isfahan region of Iran, which the Pentagon had attributed in communication terms to the rescue of the pilot of the downed F-15E, as analysts initially assessed.

Documents indicate that the two C-130 aircraft and the three helicopters that were destroyed on the mission in Iran were not there for rescue, but with the aim of a heist and in fact a nuclear one and a failed one.

The truth was unlocked by the discovery of an ID and an Israeli visa of Amanda Ryder, a member of the US Air Force.

'A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight': Trump, Iran, and the Inversion of International Criminal Law

President Trump's threat to end Iranian civilization is the clearest evidence of intent in modern international criminal law. No tribunal will ever hear it.

The post, published on Truth Social in the leadup to Trump's self-imposed deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, went on: "However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen." He closed with "God Bless the Great People of Iran."

Improved relations have continued during the Trump Administration, culminating in the President's visit to the UAE in May 2025-the second time a U.S. President has visited the Emirates. After the visit, the White House announced that President Trump had secured over $200 billion in commercial deals between the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Beyond traditional defense ties, U.S.-Emirati relations have broadened into other domains, including into new fields, such as artificial intelligence. In May 2025, the United States and the UAE announced Emirati plans to purchase 500,000 of the most advanced Nvidia Corporation chips annually from 2025 to 2027. In 2024, the UAE was the second-largest U.S. trading partner by value ($34 billion) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region (after Israel).

Saudi-Pakistan-Turkey-Egypt Defense Pact, crisis in West Asia | Times of Israel |

The prospect of a coordinated defense pact involving Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt would represent a profound shift in the security architecture of West Asia and South Asia. While such an alignment is often framed in benign terms--regional self-reliance, Muslim-world cooperation, or strategic autonomy--the underlying consequences could destabilize already fragile balances, undermine existing deterrence frameworks, and sharply increase risks for Israel and Western interests.

This would not be a symbolic bloc. It would unite four militarily significant states spanning nuclear capability, control of strategic waterways, expeditionary forces, and ideological influence. The danger lies less in formal treaty language and more in the convergence of capabilities, ambitions, and grievances.

Each of the four states brings a distinct and consequential asset to such a pact.

[...]

Combined, these capabilities would create a trans-regional security axis stretching from the Eastern Mediterranean through the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. Such geographic continuity is unprecedented among Muslim-majority powers and would inevitably challenge the current balance maintained through US alliances and informal regional deterrence.

For Israel, the risks are structural rather than immediate. A coordinated bloc that includes Egypt--a cornerstone of Israel's regional security since the Camp David Accords--would weaken the strategic predictability on Israel's southern and western fronts. Even absent open hostility, Egypt's participation would constrain Israel's freedom of manoeuvre in Gaza-related contingencies and Red Sea security.

Turkey's inclusion adds another layer of concern. Ankara's increasingly confrontational posture toward Israel, combined with its operational reach and defense exports, could translate into indirect pressure via proxy forces, intelligence sharing, or arms transfers hostile to Israeli interests.

Pakistan's role is the most destabilizing from a deterrence perspective. Even without direct involvement, Pakistan's nuclear umbrella, doctrinal expertise, and symbolic weight would embolden hard-line actors and weaken Israel's qualitative military edge by altering regional risk calculations.

By March 2026, the operator cell itself appears to be triggering the same pattern. Iran has explicitly refused to continue negotiating with Witkoff and Kushner, demanding Vice President Vance be sent instead. Tehran says it feels 'stabbed in the back' by the two men -- a government publicly naming the negotiators and demanding to bypass them. The Oman Foreign Minister said active negotiations were undermined. Diplomats said Witkoff misrepresented the key exchange.

Speaking to American media after the Geneva talks collapsed, Foreign Minister Araghchi gave his account directly: 'On the 26th of February when we met in Geneva, we were able to make good progress, as the Omani Foreign Minister said -- it was significant progress'. On the specific claim that he had boasted about building nuclear bombs, Araghchi was blunt:

I never said that we are going to make bombs. I said that we
have 440 kilos of 60 per cent enriched material, and that was
not a secret -- that is what is mentioned in the reports of the
IAEA. I said that this, if enriched more, can be good enough
for ten bombs, as your own experts claim -- so we are
ready to give them up and give them away.
