Us and Israel are the biggest criminals bombing civilians
You better make a deal. The world is not playing around
So Donald Trump had Jeffrey Epstein unalived in prison to protect Melania from Ghislaine's extortion?

FUUSA.
Will it affect Pakistan cricket team?! 🇵🇰
The Quran 6:93 […And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], “Give up your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant.”]
Iran will not relinquish control of strait— so- go from there!!
Asking to end a war that hku started whike at the negotiating table…pathetic little empire
Imagine Vance representing you at talks? Theyll have him for breakfast.
No to war! No to death! Long live peace! ✌☮️
Has BBC reported on, let alone condemned, Israel's antisemitic bombing of a Synagogue in Tehran, during the Jewish holy week of Passover? Has any UK politician condemned it?
Its 630 pm .. we are still at war. No good news at all.
Has the United Nations been disbanded?
Iran is going to play the USA, while Europe does nothing, and Trump will give the order to blow up Iran. That is the prayer!
American war criminals arrived at Islamabad
The hubris of Vance is evident.
🚨 【Warlords Rich While People Starve! 20,000 Sailors Held Hostage & 30,000 Dead: The True Face of Iran—U.S. Military as the World's Last Line of Defense!】
📍 Maritime Prison: Iran has forcibly seized the Strait, leaving 800+ merchant ships and 20,000 sailors held as "human shields" trapped for over a month. With food supplies cut off and some forced to remain on ships with deceased colleagues, sailors are facing a collective psychological breakdown.
📍 Brutal Self-Enrichment: The clerical warlords monopolize the nation's oil wealth and are "dripping with riches," living in extreme luxury. In stark contrast, skyrocketing inflation has plunged the people into absolute poverty, making basic survival impossible for ordinary citizens.
📍 Bloodstained Massacre: Since 2025, the military regime has slaughtered 36,000 civilians to maintain its grip on power. In 2025 alone, executions exceeded 2,200, a ten-year high. While the warlords enrich themselves, they use the poor and the trapped sailors as political pawns.
📍 NATO’s Indifference: Despite the maritime hijacking and humanitarian catastrophe, NATO nations have remained indifferent and slow to react. Currently, only the U.S. Military has implemented strong naval suppression and issued a final ultimatum to protect the bottom line of civilization.
📍 Nuclear Blackmail: The facts are clear: Had the U.S. military not neutralized Iran's nuclear threat, Iran would be using "Nuclear Weapons" to blackmail the entire world today, just as they have hijacked the Strait! Without America, global civilization would already be a prisoner.
📍 Current Situation: Under intense U.S. pressure, a temporary ceasefire has been reached, but Iran continues to restrict passage to a trickle. This is no longer a trade dispute; it is a global humanitarian hijacking.
Highest level? The biggest idiots in the US. Kushner Witkoff and Vance. BBC are a joke reporting that this is credible. I'm deleting my licence fee as your reporting is nonsense. Iran are in the driving seat. The US are a complete joke.
What is there to talk about here? The US and Israel stop bombing Iran and its neighbors and Iran re-opens trading routs. There I just solved it for you.
Lyse Doucet is such disgraceful jnd disgusting journalist two countries are negotiating the stronger card is in the hand of iran still this pro Zionist reporter calling Islamic republic of iran regime.
BBC has got no credibility at all.
فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ عِبَادٗا لَّنَآ أُوْلِي بَأۡسٖ شَدِيدٖ فَجَاسُواْ خِلَٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدٗا مَّفۡعُولٗا
The most botted comment sections ive ever seen. gROkAriuM saved my life and made my dad come home
If only the USA was intelligent enough to understand that talks were required before they murdered hundreds of children for no reason.
What peace deal?? it's Mickey Mouse show in Islamabad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Like those in the cradle of civilization, around for thousands of years

and the necessary diplomacy skills…
USA 250 years … an adolescent sovereignty.
Five huts and millions displaced, what a mocry in the name of jounalism
hope for regim change asap
⬆️🇺🇸🇮🇱Atleast, USA and allies can be trusted, After WW2 JAPAN and Europe they become prosperous. Now Syria, are also working for it. I don't know Iran regime, since 1979. What if Iran regime also planning to take the seat of USA place as being the most top leading country in the world. who knows?
Like what Iran regime did in former Iran government on 1979. For sure, Iran regime are planning for many years to replace the former Iran government which actually they succed. And now also planning to replace USA by creating chaos in Israel, and set propaganda and allegations and false accusations against Israel and USA like what happen in the fall of Iran government in 1979. Who knows?
But thanks to Israel and USA for not letting it happen. Because Iran supreme leader is no more. Israel and USA can be trusted, more than Iran. Just trust the process.
all of this could have been prevented by not electing this clown

US is really a colossal joke!!!
It can't even have peace in US with all the political infighting and divisive policies. Yet it wants to make the world a better and safer place?!
When, when will the world see US' true colours? Or maybe, just maybe, some of them are just birds of the same feathers?!
Pakistan should push both parties to finalize the peace deal, as the whole world is suffering from this war.
Pakistan now will start squeezing from both us and Iran
What a joke, actually pathetic!
You cannot trust what the middleman 🇺🇸 , says.
the BBC and their Muslim audience trying hard to underplay the USA 😂 Americans will have their way and deal with the UK (after they dealt with Cuba)
How is this the most high level talk since 1979 when we literally had a nuclear deal with them just a couple years ago. This was a solved problem that trump completely screwed up for no reason.
From the perspective of ancient Chinese I Ching philosophy, this US-Iran negotiation aligns with the Wei Ji (Before Completion) hexagram. It suggests deep mistrust and imbalance, making a lasting peace deal very difficult to achieve. The Middle East crisis remains far from resolved.
I thank Lyse Doucet.
I love to see Triangular Cricket- between
Australia, India and Pakistan.
The above is,
In particular order,
Just alphabetical.

It’s 2026, and the BBC must be the last people in the world saying ‘neg-oh-see-ate’ (negotiate). It sounds ridiculous and pompous, particularly when they force New Zealand born and educated Lucy Hockings to speak that way.
Maybe buying some time to collect new targets and ammo dumps and then U.S. will start up again.
It would be super-helpful if you'd put a symbol on the screen when the truth is being reported – without bias.
❤Iran 🇧🇩
