I think with Trump’s satanic speech last night, we are seeing yet another declaration of clear genocidal intent.  The Gaza genocide was apparently just a warm up and is now intended to be the new foreign policy of Zio Imperialism.  Give us what we want or we will carry out a genocide in your country starting with the innocent children.
There is no way to rationalize Zio Imperialism’s descent into madness anymore.  Neo Nazis in Ukraine, Daesh and Zionazis in the ME and an official genocide world tour!
It is very clearly now Zio Imperialism v. humanity.

Russia high tails themselves out of Bushrer,  expresses thx for their un-assaulted exit…
”ST. PETERSBURG, April 2. /TASS/. Russia will ask all parties, including Israel and the United States, to strictly observe a ceasefire regime during the evacuation of personnel from the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev stated to journalists on the sidelines of the International Transport and Logistics Forum.”
“Naturally, the routes of movement will be communicated to the competent authorities of both Israel and the United States through all available channels. We will ask for the strictest observance of a ceasefire regime while the convoys are moving. I would also like to express a few words of gratitude. Gratitude to the government of Iran, to our partners, the Iranian nuclear specialists, and to the government of Armenia for the previous evacuations, because we carried them out through the Iranian-Armenian border,” the Rosatom CEO said.“

Possible reasons for complete evacuations from Bushrer… knowledge it will be hit.
Although Italy claims no airspace to be used.  This is going on:

”The UAV, which has been repeatedly detected in this area, including near the city of Bushehr, has been in the air for multiple hours and is operating at an altitude above 14.5 km, according to the source”

”MOSCOW, April 2. /TASS/. A US Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone took flight from the Sigonella military base in Sicily, Italy, to carry out a mission near Iran’s coast, a source in Middle Eastern air traffic control circles told TASS.”
“The reconnaissance drone took off from the Sigonella military base and circled several times over neutral waters of the Persian Gulf in close proximity to Iran’s airspace,” the source said. The UAV, which has been repeatedly detected in this area, including near the city of Bushehr, has been in the air for multiple hours and is operating at an altitude above 14.5 km, according to the source.”
