— 🇺🇸/🇦🇫 NEW: A prisoner exchange between the United States and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took place in the final hours of the Biden Administration
Americans Ryan Corbett and William Wallace McKenty were exchanged for Afghan citizen Khan Mohammed, who was captured in Afghanistan in 2008, however he was jailed in the US prison system, being the first person to be convicted under 'narco-terrorism' laws.
It is believed two other US citizens are currently jailed in Afghanistan, while 1 member of the Afghan Taliban remains imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. President Donald Trump has in the past criticized prisoner swaps.

— I think that Trump, more than probably any other President in American history, shows that it's extremely important with what kind of people a President surrounds himself.
I mean come on, we all know Trump isn't the one writing these Executive Orders, or coming up with these ideas (the $500 Million USD 'StarGate' thing is so obviously a Musk inception).
This is how it works in the United States. The President's close advisors or cabinet members write up the policy, Trump simply puts his signature (or doesn't).
While Trump, like any other modern American President, is inherently an enemy to most non-Western (and especially Middle Eastern) nations by virtue of his Zionist ventriloquists, I do think there is one positive point about him: He's stubborn regarding his anti-war views.
Not because he cares about the wellbeing of other nations or societies, but because he's obsessed with the way he is perceived in the media and at home. Trump wants to be seen as someone who puts America first, someone who doesn't put U.S. troops in harms way, and someone who doesn't get involved in endless wars like his many predecessors.
This is why I think that Trump's advisors will find it very hard to convince him to go to war with Iran. John Bolton and Mike Pompeo tried extremely hard to convince him during his first term, but they were ultimately (and luckily) ignored.
Now, most of these anti-Iran war hawks, with the notable exception of newly appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have either been removed from the administration completely, or have had their security clearance revoked in a recent executive order. This shows me that Trump is extremely hesitant to get involved in warmongering.
While he may give Israel the Green Light to carry out acts of aggression against Iran, I doubt the U.S. would get directly involved in actual warfare, unless Israel was at risk of existential danger, in which case all measures necessary will be taken to defend it.
And in my opinion, Trump will do whatever he can to prevent an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Oil refineries or other infrastructure he may allow, but he knows that a strike on nuclear sites will lead to war, which he wants to prevent at all costs, especially after being praised as a peacemaker for the Gaza ceasefire.

— 🇵🇸 Dear subscribers, our newest mission for Gaza is complete!
We distributed 55 bags to children, each filled with a variety of small snacks: Juice, chips, chocolate, biscuits, and lollipops.
This was a reasonably cheap mission, costing $150 USD, but the children of Gaza did not have access to sweets for a long time.
To enable us to continue this campaign, make sure to donate through the links down below, your donations will go directly to Gaza.
NOTE: Humanitarian aid remains ESSENTIAL, even though the ceasefire has been signed.
You can also donate via buying Telegram star reactions on this post.

Crypto donation is also possible, valid for ETH, USDC and USDT (ERC-20):

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Trump's new Middle East envoy, Michael DiMino, is a much more reality-based person than Amos Hochstein or Antony Blinken, who tried to convince the world that Israel is invincible
DiMino described Iran's 'True Promise-2' operation against Israel last year as 'fairly moderate', and stated that Iran was still somewhat holding back. This is quite a fair assessment.
According to Iranian reports at the time, only about 1/4th of the IRGC's strategic missile bases were used during the attack, and Iran's largest-caliber warheads, the Khorramshahr-4, were not utilized.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇱🇧 BREAKING: The IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon fully before January 26th, as per the ceasefire – Israeli Sources
At a meeting in Al-Naqoura in Southern Lebanon between the enforcers of the ceasefire mechanism earlier this week, IDF representatives refused to commit to a timetable for withdrawal, and sought to extend the deadline by several days.
Ali Fayyadh, a Lebanese MP for Hezbollah's political wing, has warned that an Israeli refusal to withdraw by the deadline date will 'not go without consequences'.
