this is so far off the truth that it is not even funny. landed cost when petrol was $70/bbl for crude without refining was around 125PKR/Liter. I don't know which YouTube genius gave you the number of Rs.34/liter.

No math pass? A 42-gallon barrel has 159 liters. At $100 per barrel, crude cost is already 62 cents per liter. I think that is about 200 PKR. It hasn't been transported or refined, let alone distributed yet, mind you!

Untrue.
US strongly opposed to EU creation of an Army.
It was Colin Powell in 2003 the one that specifically harassed main members of the EU to avoid so.
And It was US the one that wanted a divided and weakened EU.

Another simulation, this time with an Iranian Phantom.
Allegedly, Iran did use an F-4E in an attack on Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. Not related to this video though, just saying that Iran did fly an F-4E in a real mission during the war.
It shows you how unfair the Islamic Republic's negligence of the IRIAF has been.

Why is Pezeshkian getting a free pass? The price of USD has become 4 times that of the beginning of his presidency in just 20 months.

1 - The European Union has a population of 450 million, with the UK it is 520million vs the USA of 343 million.
2 - The European Union has a $23 trillion vs the USA which has $32 trillion.
3 - Russia has a population of 146million with an economy of $2.6 trillion.
I can list all kinds of stats of how Europe's combined military is larger than Russia's etc..
Europe can militarily defend itself against Russia, and does not at any level need the USA. The sooner the USA withdraws from Europe, the better !!!!

The EU certainly has the potential to defend itself in terms of pure numbers. But given how far the ingrgrationist political ideal has fallen, how many Europeans are actually willing to defend other EU countries from Russia? Would your average French or German citizen be willing to die over Finland?

...(continue)... The US patrol boat was moving near Jask Island violating security and navigation rules intending to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Navy issued warnings which the boat ignored, thus got targeted by a missile attack.
As of the time of this report, no further details about the extent of damages or possible casualties have been released.

FO says 22 crew members on Iranian ship seized by US have been evacuated to Pakistan
News Desk Reuters AFPMay 4, 2026
The Foreign Office (FO) said on Monday that as a “confidence-building measure” by the United States, 22 crew members on an Iranian ship that was seized by US forces had been evacuated to Pakistan.
The statement came hours after American outlet ABC News reported that an Iranian ship seized by the US after it “failed to comply” with the blockade imposed by the country on Iranian ports had been transferred to Pakistan for repatriation.
“US forces completed the transfer of 22 crew members of M/V Touska to Pakistan for repatriation,“ the report quoted US Central Command Spokesperson Captain Tim Hawkins as saying.
“Six other passengers were already transferred to a regional country for repatriation last week,” he said. According to the report, Iranian state media identified the six as family members of some of the crew.
“Custody of Touska is currently being transferred back to its original ownership after the ship was intercepted and seized when attempting to violate the US naval blockade against Iran last month,” Hawkins said.
Subsequently, FO Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said on the social media platform X, “As a confidence-building measure by the United States of America, twenty-two crew members held aboard the seized Iranian container ship, ‘MV Touska’, have been evacuated to Pakistan.”

“The individuals, who were flown to Pakistan last night, will be handed over to the Iranian authorities today,” he said.
“The Iranian ship will also be backloaded to Pakistani territorial waters for return to its original owners after necessary repairs,” Andrabi said, adding that these returns were being coordinated in tandem with the support of both sides.
“Pakistan welcomes such confidence-building measures and will continue to facilitate dialogue and diplomacy while pursuing ongoing mediation efforts for regional peace and security,” he said.
The ship was boarded and seized by US forces on April 19. The small container ship, which was part of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) group that has been hit with US sanctions, was boarded off the coast of Iran’s Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman.
At the time, the US Central Command said the ship’s crew “failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period”.
“American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the US blockade,” it said.
