Top Iranian official warns of enemy attempts to sow internal rifts amid war

The chief of staff to Iran’s president warned that the country must prioritize internal unity, saying the threat facing Iran extends beyond military confrontation to what he described as a broader enemy campaign aimed at influencing public opinion and creating divisions within society.

“We must be concerned about the unity of society,” Mohsen Haji-Mirzaei told the state TV,adding that Iran is not only confronting the enemy’s military machine but also a wider front seeking to shape narratives and deepen internal rifts.(these people are crazy, they are accuse others of what they doing.Stop killing your young citizens maybe that would stop division! Wow, they really need therapy!)

He said the president has consistently emphasized the need to safeguard cohesion despite differing views within the country, noting that decision-making authority ultimately rests with the established leadership structure.

The official also accused adversaries of attempting to widen social divides, while stressing that Iran’s Supreme Leader, in coordination with the Supreme National Security Council, would take what he called the necessary decisions.

(The Iranians always sound paranoid or cooking up new conspiracy Theories!)

BUFFETT WATCH

Buffett may end donations to Gates Foundation over Bill’s ties to Epstein

Revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein files about the notorious sex offender’s connections to Bill Gates have severely strained, and perhaps ended, the Microsoft co-founder’s famous friendship with Warren Buffett.

They could also prompt Buffett to cut off his annual multi-billion-dollar donations to the Gates Foundation.

In a one-hour-plus sit-down interview (full audio and transcript appear below) that aired on Tuesday’s “Squawk Box,” Buffett told Becky Quick he has not talked to Gates “at all since the whole thing was unveiled.”

Asked if he is still “good friends” with Gates,Buffett replied they’d had “great times together,” but “until it gets cleared up … I just don’t think it makes sense to do a lot of talking.”

Noting that his “memory is no good anymore,” Buffett added, “I don’t want to be under oath, in terms of trying to remember everything over 30 years, or 20 years, the foundation’s done, or anything like that.”

“I didn’t have anything to do with it, except I put money in it.

In response to Quick’s question onwhether he will continue to give money to the Gates Foundation, Buffett said,“I’ll wait and see what unfolds … I don’t have to make that decision today. And I haven’t made it today.”

“I’ve learned things I didn’t know about something for all these years.”

Buffett said he doesn’t think “Bill had anything to do with girls or the island or anything like that,” but he still wants to learn more as revelations continue.

Buffett is relieved he “never came near” Epstein, calling him a “sensational conman” who preyed on others’ weaknesses, although that “doesn’t excuse the people on the other end.”

In 2006, Buffett wrote to Bill and Melinda Gates that he was “irrevocably committing” to make annual gifts of Berkshire shares to their foundation “throughout my lifetime,” as long as at least one of them was actively involved, the gifts did not become subject to a tax, and the foundation actively spent the contributions on its philanthropic activities.

The letter also said Buffett’s will would “provide for a continuation of this commitment … after my death.”

Two years ago, however, Buffett confirmed to the Wall Street Journal the Gates Foundation “has no money coming after my death.”

The previous November, he had announced that his three children would be jointly responsible for giving away almost all his wealth after he dies.

Buffett: I sold Apple shares ‘too soon’

In the interview, Buffett conceded he started reducing Berkshire’s massive Apple

stake “too soon,” but added with a laugh, “I bought it even sooner. So, it worked out.”

As of the end of December, the position had been cut by 75% since sales began in the fourth quarter of 2023.
