Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com 

 

[[[ So with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan having forged an ‘attack on one, attack on all’ pact...it's very interesting as Pakistan is a nuclear nation and Turkey's Erdogan wants Israel and especially Netanyahu gone! 

 

And while this is happening Trump continues to bloviate that talks with Iran are scheduled for Monday as he predicts a nuclear deal. 

 

Houston we still have a problem as Trump ignores this could be dangerous pact and its new alliances as all Trump cares about is making deals with terrorists who have NO intentions of keeping any deals made...while at the same time they have mastered the art of playing the PR 'let's stall for time to regroup and rearm' game.

 

Boy do we still have a problem and its name remains Trump!!! ]]]

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan forge ‘attack on one, attack on all’ pact — as Iran deal lingers

Caitlin Doornbos / NEW YORK POST

WASHINGTON — The much-hyped Iran-Oman deal that US officials predicted would reopen the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week never materialized — but another consequential agreement moved forward Friday as three of the Muslim world’s most powerful nations joined forces against a region on fire.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey announced Friday they signed a landmark joint defense pact in Mecca, declaring that an attack on one would be treated as an attack on all — a move that could reshape the security landscape as Iran continues missile strikes and threatens vital energy routes across the Gulf.

The agreement comes as Tehran and its allies have repeatedly targeted Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states during the US war on Iran, sending shockwaves through global energy markets and raising fears that Washington’s traditional security partners may seek new ways to protect themselves.

The pact — signed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif — creates a new security framework linking a NATO power, the Arab world’s heavyweight and the only nuclear-armed Islamic nation. 

The timing was impossible to ignore. Read more, and see photos here.

We discovered an atmosphere on an Earth-like planet in a star's habitable zone

It's a first that includes ingredients for life itself — and it challenges assumptions we've had about other planets.

Astronomers have detected an atmosphere on the Earth‑like exoplanet LHS 1140 b, located in its star’s habitable zone about 48 light‑years from Earth, marking the first clear evidence of a rocky planet beyond the Solar System retaining an atmosphere over time.

Key points:

LHS 1140 b is an Earth‑size planet about 5.6 times the mass of Earth orbiting a small, cool red dwarf star.

The planet lies in the habitable zone, receiving less than half the sunlight Earth receives.

Scientists identified the atmosphere by detecting helium gas leaking into space during a transit observation.

The detection was made by observing a dip in the star’s infrared light at the wavelength where helium absorbs.

Before accounting for the atmosphere, the planet’s estimated surface temperature was roughly –53 °F. Read more, see photos and video here. 

Iranian parliament bill would ban US, Israeli ships from Strait of Hormuz

Caitlin Doornbos / NEW YORK POST 

 

WASHINGTON — Iran’s parliament is weighing a sweeping new law that would block ships from the US, Israel and other “hostile” nations from sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Tehran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency.

The proposed legislation, dubbed the “Strategic Action for the Security and Sustainable Development of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf,” is under review by parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Tasnim reported.

Abbas Salimi, a member of parliament’s presiding board, told the IRGC-aligned outlet that lawmakers are reviewing the draft bill before it moves forward.

 Under the proposal, ships belonging to the United States, Israel and other nations Tehran designates as hostile would be barred from transiting the strategic waterway — a passage point for roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply.

The bill would also prohibit military and civilian cargo accused of supporting Israel from coming through the Strait.

UN rips ‘deeply troubling’ Iran for executing at least 56 people since start of war: ‘Has no place in our world

Alex Oliveira / NEW YORK POST

The bloodthirsty Iranian regime has executed at least 56 people on dubious national security charges since March, according to the United Nations — which blasted Iran for the “deeply troubling” practice.

Twenty-seven of the 56 were linked to the widespread January protests against the country’s despotic regime and brutal treatment of its citizens.

Another roughly 100 people are believed to currently be awaiting execution on similar charges, according to the BBC.

The barbaric executions — which are often carried out in public — are part of a widespread tactic “to instill fear among the population and suppress dissent,” UN human rights chief Volker Türk said in a recent scathing statement.

“Such punishment has no place in our world,” Türk said. 

The chief also raised alarm about the judicial process that leads to capital punishment — saying trials and due process were nearly non-existent in Iran.
