Despite major progress, the war hasn't fully achieved its two main goals yet: ☢️ Nuclear program: Iran still remains MONTHS away from a Hiroshima-style nuclear weapon. 🚀 Ballistic missiles: Most "missile cities" remain intact. The final deal will dictate the true winner.

می‌خواهم در این‌باره کاملاً شفاف باشم؛ زیرا کاخ سفید، بنا به خواست رئیس‌جمهور، بر دستکاریِ لحن و روایت اصرار دارد: هیچ تغییر رژیمی در ایران رخ نداده است. نه از نظر تئوریک، نه از نظر ایدئولوژیک، نه در عرصهٔ عمل و در مجموع به‌هیچ‌ چیز عوض نشده است. پزشکیان همچنان رئیس‌جمهور است،

If we completely disarmed Iran, why do we have to sign an agreement with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz? A completely disarmed Iran would not be able to threaten ships passing through the strait. Something is not adding up here.

Europe is about to understand why they’ve been able to afford “free healthcare” for everyone.

"If russia stops, the war ends. If Ukraine stops, Ukraine ends. That's why we must help Ukraine win." -Kaja Kallas She is right..💯 So, Don't stop supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦🫡

So basically Trump asked Pakistan to ask Trump for a 2 week ceasefire, and Trump agreed to a ceasefire without Iran, US or Israel actually cease firing. Then Trump claimed Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz without Iran actually opening the Strait of Hormuz. Do I have this right?

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, because it has defeated the US in 38 days. This is quite extraordinary and Trump's great mistake should be discussed.

And no one will ever see it.

Israel has more military in uniform, an Iron Dome protection, more than six times as many tanks and twice as many combat aircraft than the UK for a smaller budget. Why can’t the UK government get more for our defence money?

تأخّر الرد الإيراني على إسرائيل لا ينبع من خوفٍ او تردد أو خيانة. بل أرى، بشكل واضح، أن إيران تحتاج إلى هدنة تكتيكية، لأن ذلك قد يفيدها عسكريًا في إعادة التواصل مع العديد من وحدات الحرس الثوري التي انقطع الاتصال بها، نتيجة الخطة الإيرانية التي قامت على تفكيك الحرس إلى وحدات

الولايات المتحدة لن تعالج قريباً السبب الحقيقي الذي ادى لهزيمتها التكتيكية أمام إيران، لأن المشكلة ليست في الأداء، بل في نوع السلاح. الجيش الأمريكي يعتمد على منظومات عسكرية باهظة الثمن مثل حاملات الطائرات، المدمرات، والطائرات المأهولة كـ F-35. هذه المنظومات مكلفة جداً، بطيئة

The NATO Secretary General went on CNN this week and told Jake Tapper that yes, absolutely, the world is safer thanks to President Trump’s leadership. Somewhere in Brussels, Oslo, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris and Ottawa, people spilled their drinks on the television. Less than 48 hours

JUST IN: 🇮🇹🇮🇷 Italian Prime Minister Meloni says the Strait of Hormuz must be fully opened "without any restrictions."

Fukuyama: The United States has never been as isolated as it is today. No sane European leader can believe backing America in Hormuz now would be reciprocated later by a Trumpist America. There has never been a time when the US was less trusted by friends and rivals alike. 1/

Fukuyama: If I rewrote Trust today, I would no longer describe the United States as a high-trust society. Political polarization has become something worse: Americans now see their opponents as deeply malevolent and dishonest, and distrust is rampant across society. 2/

Fukuyama: NATO is built on trust. Its deterrent value rests on the belief that members will come to one another's aid if attacked. It is not, by contrast, an all-purpose commitment to support a treaty partner that has undertaken an offensive war against a third party. 3/

Fukuyama: Trust matters in international politics because there is no global enforcer of rules. Credibility is the coin of the realm. That is why I am worried the Iran war and Hormuz crisis represent a fundamental rupture in the North Atlantic security structure. 4X

There’s a paradox at the heart of this war that Trump’s own allies are now admitting out loud. If you bomb a regime but won’t finish the job, the bombs don’t weaken it. They hand it leverage. Iran walked into ceasefire talks with a 10-point proposal that includes withdrawing US

There's no bigger supporter of President Trump than me, but seriously, why does he keep repeating this "regime change" nonsense that he and everyone knows well it's false?

Iran's ceasefire deal looks like US surrender: Trump has two options mol.im/a/15718267
