🚨#Bigbreaking 🇮🇷🇦🇺 , a ship accident and maritime incident have been reported in waters linked to Iran. Amid rising tensions around the Gulf waters and the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security agencies have been placed on high alert.#iran #bigbreaking

Respect to Aaron David Miller — he’s a veteran voice with real experience — but calling this a “strategic defeat” for the US/Israel after ~2.5–3 months is the classic “if we stop tomorrow, we lose” take. Reality on the ground tells a much more nuanced story. Iran “survived,” sure. No one expected the regime to collapse in weeks against a peer-level air campaign. But survival came at a brutal cost, and the regime is far from intact: •US/Israeli strikes destroyed or heavily damaged hundreds of ballistic missile launchers — reports put it around 300+ out of their pre-war inventory. A significant chunk of the precision-guided and long-range arsenal is gone or buried. •Key production sites for missiles, fuel, and explosives took hits (petrochemical facilities in places like Bandar Imam and Mahshahr). Rebuilding that under sanctions and with disrupted supply chains isn’t quick. •Nuclear sites (Natanz, Fordow, Arak-related) were degraded. The program is set back years, not months. That’s not nothing when the whole point was preventing a nuclear Iran. •Leadership decapitation: Supreme Leader Khamenei is dead from the early waves. Large parts of senior IRGC command are gone. The regime is running on a more fragmented, harder-line structure now — which makes negotiations messier, not stronger. Yes, Iran is still firing occasional barrages (mostly cluster munitions, many intercepted) and holding the Strait of Hormuz for now, charging ships and causing headaches. That’s a tactical nuisance and economic leverage, not a strategic win. Their “thousands of missiles in one go” capability from 2024 is degraded. Proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis are also bleeding. The economy is wrecked, oil exports hammered, internal protests simmering. China is helping with some chemicals and parts, but this isn’t an “untouched arsenal” — it’s attrition warfare where Iran is burning reserves while the US/Israel maintain air superiority and intelligence dominance. Miller’s quote frames it as “Iran in no rush.” Fair point on their resilience, but they’re also not in a position of strength to dictate terms forever. Indirect talks are happening (via Oman, Qatar, Turkey channels), and Tehran knows another major round would be even worse for them. This wasn’t about occupying Iran or full regime change — it was about degrading the missile/nuclear/proxy threat. On that scorecard, the US-Israel side achieved a lot of its operational goals. Iran didn’t “win” by simply not falling in 90 days. Surviving on life support while your capabilities are rolled back isn’t victory — it’s costly endurance. Bottom line: Air power, precision strikes, and sustained pressure still matter. Iran showed it can absorb hits and keep fighting asymmetrically. But claiming strategic defeat for the side that degraded the enemy’s most dangerous tools while keeping its own forces largely intact? That’s more narrative than battlefield reality. Facts over vibes. The war isn’t over, but the balance sheet isn’t the one-sided loss some analysts want to paint.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ What that tiny boat can do in the Strait?

JUST NOW: In a massive development that nobody saw coming, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is deploying HMS Dragon, a single Type 45 destroyer, near the Strait of Hormuz as part of a UK-France-led multinational effort to secure shipping.

@LogicalThesis Use the cyclical method to invest cyclical stocks and that will be fine.

Many do not understand cyclical stocks

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN HAS JUST OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH THE U.S. THIS DEAL INCLUDES A 12-YEAR HALT TO ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM AND A STOP TO ALL MILITARY ACTIONS OIL JUST DUMPED BELOW $95 AND THE STOCK MARKET IS PUMPING ON THIS NEWS LOOKS LIKE THE WAR IS ENDING!!

This "Radical" Left lost the last pair short pants.

@Irantimes01 Even if you can make the bomb by reverse engineering, it will be useles for you. You know why? Because you can't find a bunker to bust.

Iran has handed over 15 unexploded U.S. missiles and bombs, including an intact GBU-57 bunker buster, to research teams for reverse engineering.

@lamps_apple @RoKhanna Who is that "Stanford economist"?

$25/hr = $52,000/year for one full-time worker. Mississippi's median household income… $56,000. CBO scored $15/hr at 1.4 million jobs lost. $25 is 245% above today's $7.25. The "Stanford economist" pushing this was a visiting lecturer with no PhD, whose wife's family trust... - Made 35,000+ stock trades since he took office - $620 million in lifetime trades - $105 million in stock trades LAST YEAR. - Beat the S&P by 112% in 27 months - Bought Russian Yandex three weeks before Putin invaded Ukraine He IS the investor class. The minimum wage push is just the script for his presidential run.

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense. The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968. Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x. Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@lamps_apple @RoKhanna @grok : What is the name of this "Stanford" guy?

@DI313_ This is from a video game.

‼️🇷🇺 🇺🇦 A single Ukrainian drone wipes out an entire Russian squad.

@wijayagopala @MarioNawfal Won't budge? Then fight! fight to the last person.

@MarioNawfal As I've said before Trump admin needs to get this: Iran will only trade its nuclear program for 3 things: no-attack guarantees from US/Israel, sanctions relief & a less hostile region. Without those, Iran won't budge. x.com/wijayagopala/s…

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 NEW: Trump says Iran's latest proposal "denies reality" and is frustrated Khamenei still won't let his delegation budge on the nuclear program.

@ClownWorld @Grok: Is that true? What is the name of the guy?

The worst disaster ever captured on camera

@Jon1786 @visionergeo @NSTRIKE1231 Where's the European ship?

@visionergeo @NSTRIKE1231 Chinese ships coming through soon.

🇺🇲🇮🇷BREAKING | U.S. Central Command announced that, as part of the American-imposed blockade on Iranian ports, vessels under sanctions will be liable to interception, boarding, inspection, and potential seizure. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

@SamanthaTaghoy @Grok: What she says?

“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@AZ_desertfox @EVKontorovich You need electric to lunch rocket, control radar, make bomb, enrich uranium ...

@EVKontorovich Just because someone says that something is against international law doesn't mean that it is. All warfare involves bridges and power stations and such infrastructure. ALL warfare, and always has.

The notion that international law prohibits attacking bridges or power stations in war is ludicrous, and the U.S. and its allies did so extensively in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and even the 1999 air campaign against Yugoslavia, which left most of Serbia without electricity.

@RealDanODowd Dan love to be insulted some he comes here every other day to get what he love to.

Another lie from Tesla as they desperately try to pump their meme stock and sell their defective self-driving software. FSD doesn't slow down in the rain and will hydroplane your car into a wall, as this person found out:

@FrErlandson @xDaily Did you work for Musk before?

@xDaily It would be great to work for Elon if you wanted to work 80 hours a week and we're very driven and willing to live with a great deal of stress and not know what true rest is. I know someone who work for him and he said this is routinely the experience he had had.

INSIGHT: What working for Elon is actually like.

@Teslaconomics Where is this location? Tesla sales office parking lot?

This is why California should change its name to Teslafornia

@ylecun @dchaplot I bet he will be last longer than your time with Meta @ylecun

@dchaplot We'll take bets on how long you will last 😄

I'm joining SpaceX and xAI, working closely with Elon and team to build superintelligence. Together SpaceX and xAI combine physical and digital intelligence under a leader who understands hardware at the deepest level. Add a high-agency culture with frontier-scale resources, and you get the possibility to achieve something truly unique. I’m excited to advance the fields I’ve obsessed over for years, from robotics research to building AI models on the founding teams of Mistral and TML. Both were extraordinary journeys with extraordinary people that shaped how I think about building intelligence from the ground up. Grateful for everything that brought me here and can’t wait to get started.
