Iran seems to be following a strategy of unveiling more and more impressive military capabilities as the war goes on. They just fired long-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, one of the most strategically significant U.S. military bases in the world (hosting B-52 bombers, nuclear subs, etc.), nearly 5,000km away from them in the middle of the Indian ocean 👇. Diego Garcia has never been hit before in any war in its 5 decades of existence, and no-one knew Iran had these types of capabilities (Iran themselves said their ballistic missile range was limited to 2,000 kilometers). Two days ago, they also took down an "unkillable" F-35 fifth-generation fighter jet, something which has never happened before (militarywatchmagazine.com/article/footag…). They've also managed to take control of the world's most strategic oil chokepoint, and have proven they can hit any strategic target in the wider Middle-East, even the most protected ones (such as Israel's Haifa oil refinery: aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…). All in all, it sounds almost unbelievable but Iran appears to have a genuine form of escalation dominance over the United States military, with its trillion dollar budget. In a very real way, it's even more impressive than Vietnam or Afghanistan: those countries resisted a superpower, Iran appears to be competing with one. It also makes you think: what comes next? And that's exactly what escalation dominance is all about: keep raising the stakes until the other side blinks. It's about making Trump think "wait, I thought I was picking a fight with the skinny kid and turns out he's Bruce Lee."

BREAKING NEWS: THE WEST IS TURNING TAIL. NATO staff were branded “cowards” by US President Donald Trump last night as they left their base in Iraq, citing danger from Iranian attacks. But Trump himself then admitted that the US intended to wind down the US attack on the oil-rich nation, calling on China and Japan to take over the American assault on the Strait of Hormuz. . NATO OUT, U.S. TO FOLLOW Trouble started when the US President last night reacted furiously to news that Poland, and later NATO, were moving out of Iraq to head back to Europe. “COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!” Trump wrote. But in another statement, he made it clear the US also intended to leave soon. “We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it.” He named China and Japan as countries to take over military duties in those waters—although no analysts think this is remotely likely. Analysts said it was impossible to avoid the conclusion: Iran is winning, or has won. . HOW THE RETREAT WAS REVEALED Following a similar step by Poland, NATO yesterday admitted that its mission in Iraq had quietly fled to Europe, with the last personnel leaving on aircraft earlier that day. “Nato Mission Iraq has adjusted its posture, safely relocating all its personnel from the Middle East to Europe,” said a statement from the alliance’s European command. Iraq, which the US took in 2003 in a murderous invasion widely recognized as the first great war crime of the century, has been a major base for America’s mission to control West Asian oil. . REMOLDING IRAQ The NATO mission to Iraq was basically set up around Baghdad in 2018 to remold Iraqi authorities as tools for US-led western dominance in West Asia. But this month, as UK and European leaders sided with Trump and Netanyahu in their surprise attack, Iran responded with attacks on troops at British, French and Italian bases in northern Iraq. This triggered the decision to remove the NATO operation, which has large numbers of non-military staff. The Nato statement said its mission would continue, but from a safe distance--a military headquarters in Naples, Italy. . CONTRADICTORY STEPS Meanwhile, Trump’s admission that the US was looking to pull out of the operation was harder to parse—as it is among several contradictory steps the US is taking. At the exact same time that the US President admitted to wanting to “wind down” his war on Iran, two ships full of US Marines continued to head to the area to bolster the US-Israel attack. And other nations have also stepped up their role. The UK has shifted its definition of "defensive" to an absurd degree. Providing UK facilities to US bombers who then attack Iranians defending their homeland is now defined as "defensive". But Trump’s words were unusually clear. The US will no longer be involved in efforts to force the Iranians to abandon their closure of the Strait of Hormuz, he said, as others will take that duty. The most the US would do would be to stand by to provide aid. “If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts …” he said. . NATIONS REBRAND IRAN AS THE AGGRESSOR In yet another contradictory move, more pro-US nations yesterday said they were joining the UK and some EU nations pledging to help the US force the Iranians to reopen the waterway. The countries siding with Trump are Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Romania, Bahrain and Lithuania. All signed a document that portrayed Iran as an illegal military aggressor, making no mention of the fact that the Iranians were responding to a US-Israel attack. The list is valuable, giving the rest of the world a clear indication of which countries ultimately see the US as their ultimate leader, happy to subvert reality to rebrand the Iranians as the aggressors in a war in which they are clearly the victims. If these nations ever had any moral high ground, they have lost it forever.

According to the State Department's own reporting in their 2022 report on Global Terrorism, state.gov/wp-content/upl… , none of the top ten terrorist groups, ranked by fatalities, were connected to Iran. However, there is evidence that some of them, maybe all of them, have received funding or weapons from Israel or US (USAID, CIA).

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

The West will never teach you this history. ElBaradei exposes how the CIA and MI6 overthrew Iran's democracy in 1953, installed a brutal dictator, and then financed Saddam Hussein to gas 100,000 Iranians with chemical weapons provided by Germany. Absolute hypocrisy.

"I thought I was not hearing right ... even George Orwell could not make this up." Jeffrey Sachs explains why some countries can only condemn Iran, but not Israel or America…. "They host U.S. bases ... they are not sovereign countries."

"I used to teach international law, and this is a personal insult to me. I wasted my life." ElBaradei fiercely condemns the West for calling the slaughter of 70,000 Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza "self-defense." They destroyed international law to protect Israel.

According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, Palantir is "the new Jeffrey Epstein". "If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things." "You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era." "The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing." "Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress." "But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain." "And that's how we got Palantir."

"Why don't you believe all the reporters who said they saw Netanyahu with their own eyes!?!" For the same reason I don't believe any of the "reporters" who saw babies beheaded and in ovens after their secret viewings of Oct 7th footage. Nor do I believe there was a "Hamas Headquarters" under every hospital in Gaza. Basically, who can believe ANYTHING coming out of Israel at this point, they've lied to us so much.
