Araghchi again criticized his European colleagues for failing to fulfill their commitments under the JCPOA and warned that Tehran will be further stepping away from that agreement "every 60 days" until the situation changes for the better.

The representative of the Iranian government, Ali Rabiya, also stated that Tehran is making efforts to keep the 2015 nuclear deal working, but not at the country's expense. "Iran hopes to maintain the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan, but not at any cost, and not at the expense of its national interests."

"The President of the Republic has agreed with his Iranian counterpart to explore by July 15 conditions to resume dialogue between the parties," the Elysee announced in a statement late Saturday, shortly after a phone call between Macron and his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani. Macron said that he would be reaching out to the Iranian authorities and other sides of the 2015 accord in hopes of diffusing tensions.

Macron's call for dialogue came with a threatening undertone, however, as he warned the Islamic Republic with retaliation if it keeps on surpassing the deal-imposed caps on its uranium stockpile and level of enrichment, saying consequences "would necessarily follow."

In his own statement after the phone call, Rouhani reiterated that the best way to revive talks and save the deal would be to suspend all sanctions imposed on Iran.

"Stopping all sanctions can be the beginning of dynamics between Iran and the P5+1," he said. "The European Union should fulfill more of its commitments and take more actions to salvage the deal."

His statement also cited Macron as effectively admitting that Europe has failed to offset the damage inflicted on the Iranian economy by the American sanctions. "We accept that Europe's actions to compensate for the US sanctions haven't been effective and successful but that we will do whatever we can to make up for it," the press release quotes Macron as saying - this part does not appear in the Elysee statement, however.

Yuval Steinitz, the country's Energy Minister and member of the Israeli security cabinet, asserted that Iran "has begun - while it is a moderate rise right now - but it has begun to raise, to break out of the uranium enrichment curbs that were imposed on it," he told Ynet TV.

Upping the ante, Steinitz, a renowned Iran hardliner, also claimed that Tehran "is brushing off the red lines that were agreed [under the 2015 nuclear deal and] that it has begun its march, a march that is not simple, toward nuclear weaponry."

This sort of thinking is a "mistake," Netanyahu said, noting that the Second World War began "when Nazi Germany took one small step - to enter the Rhineland [in 1936]. A small step. No one said anything and no one did anything. The next step was the Anschluss [the annexation of Austria in 1938] and the next step was entering the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia [in 1938]. And the rest is known."

Alleging that the enriched uranium could be used "for only one thing - to prepare nuclear weapons," Netanyahu appealed to his "friends, the heads of France, Britain and Germany," telling them "you signed this agreement, and you said that once they take this step, there will be harsh sanctions. That was the decision of the Security Council."

Google has changed their algorithm so that it actively suppresses "misinformation" when "bad events" are taking place. This is pretty big news if you're interested in free speech or the free flow of information. Nobody in the media treated it that way.

In fact, you probably didn't see it at all. Almost no papers covered it - and the major one that did, The Guardian, buried back in the "science and technology" section.

The idea that Google suppresses "misinformation", and boosts "authoritative voices" is not new. We already know they do that. The new part is that they will do it in real-time, they will respond to "tragic events" by focusing more on blocking "misinformation" at "criticial times".

Pandu Nayak, the Google representative interviewed for the article, summed it up thus:

...we have developed algorithms that recognise that a bad event is taking place and that we should increase our notions of 'authority', increase the weight of 'authority' in our ranking so that we surface high quality content rather than misinformation in this critical time here."

He is directly referencing mass shootings in the Sandy Hook vein, but he could just as well be talking about terrorist attacks, natural disasters, election results or war.

When he says "high quality content" (sic) he means corporate media. When he says "authority", he means government sources.

Essentially, Google - the most powerful company on Earth - is going to be tightening its control on the flow of information when important news is breaking.
