US Iran Agree MoU US Ends Sea Blockade Neocons Israel Furious; Putin Tells Trump Ignore UK/EU

Topic 1930 Reporting live from Moscow, Alexander Mercouris of The Duran breaks down the newly signed US Iran memorandum of understanding that lifts the sea blockade and reopens the strait of Hormuz, leaving Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu furious over what they call a betrayal. He also unpacks Vladimir Putin's birthday phone call with Donald Trump, where Putin warned Trump not to believe the narratives coming from the Ukrainians and Europeans about the war. With Pokrovsk on the brink of falling and Israel refusing to leave southern Lebanon, is this fragile truce already heading toward its next collapse? 00:00:00 Mercouris reports 00:03:32 Russia leaping ahead of London in technology 00:06:36 Russian per capita GDP catching up to Britain 00:07:51 A businessman on why capital never left Russia 00:09:46 Turning to the news, the Iran memorandum signed 00:10:58 Sea blockade lifted and the strait of Hormuz 00:11:34 Frozen Iranian assets and tolls explained 00:13:41 Why this is really a return to the status quo 00:16:59 The memorandum also covers a Lebanon ceasefire 00:18:04 How Israeli assurances led the US into this war 00:21:35 Oil markets and the global economic outlook 00:23:00 Why this counts as an Iranian win 00:23:39 Why this truce likely will not hold 00:26:16 What Iran must do next militarily and economically 00:32:37 Russia views this as a war with the collective west 00:36:50 Update on the front lines and Pokrovsk 00:37:32 Inside the Putin Trump birthday phone call **THE DURAN SHOP** https://theduranshop.com **REVERSE GEAR SHOP** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop **THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial **OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS** THE DURAN:    / @theduran   ALEX:    / alexchristoforou   **CRYPTO SUPPORT** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R **DONATE** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON:   / theduran   **VIDEO PLATFORMS** RUMBLE THE DURAN: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: THE DURAN: https://odysee.com/@theduran ALEXANDER: https://odysee.com/@AlexanderMercouris:a ALEX: https://odysee.com/@alexchristoforou:7 BITCHUTE: THE DURAN: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ALEXANDER: https://www.bitchute.com/alexandermer...
