IRGC-IO is leading an assassination plot against President Trump, with support from al-Qaeda, as part of coordination tied to the upcoming 9/11 2.0 plot. This part of the plan mirrors the lead-up to 9/11, when Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated just days before the attacks. Take out the entire organization. Let’s hit first this time!

Afghanistan doesn’t need empty words, it needs small, real actions. If you can: support a local school. Help provide notebooks, pens, basic supplies so children can keep learning. If you’re nearby, show up. If you’re far, contribute. And plant trees. It’s simple, lasting, and powerful, restoring both land and hope. Change doesn’t always start big. It starts where you are, with what you do. Stay human…

Former CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie says the U.S. military can call the operation in Iran a success when “the Strait of Hormuz is open” and they “get some kind of deal on the ballistic missile program.” “But, I think there're very discreet things that, for me, at least from an operational military perspective, would look like victory,” he says. “I believe all of those things are actually within our grasp. We just need to continue. Iran will ultimately respond to the use of force.”

🇸🇾 Syria's state visit to Germany 🇩🇪 CSI Germany and other Christian organizations have urged German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to stand up for religious freedom in #Syria, as Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa visits Berlin. Following reported attacks on the city of Suqailabiyya by groups linked to al-Sharaa, CSI is calling for any financial support to be contingent on protecting religious freedom.

Iran’s most dangerous weapons are not its boats, missiles, or fighter jets—but its sympathizers within Western media, who forget the sheer evil of the regime and what is at stake. But while Iran may seem to hold the cards and control the narrative, the great danger is this president’s unpredictable behavior when cornered by media.
Shiv Aroor@ShivAroor

ARE ANALYSTS MISSING THE MOST DANGEROUS VARIABLE IN THIS WAR? 🚨 1. An overwhelming amount of analysis right now says the same thing: Iran has the upper hand. It controls the narrative. It holds the cards. Hormuz has become a bargaining chip that has clearly rattled Washington. And Donald Trump, many say, now looks trapped. 2. But there is a growing blind spot in that analysis. It risks forgetting the most basic fact of this conflict: the United States is still the most powerful military machine on the planet. By a margin that is not marginal. 3. This is not a middling power trying to negotiate its way out of a corner. This is a country that can decide to escalate in ways nobody else can match. 4. The second blind spot is the man in the Oval Office. Trump has shown repeatedly that he is unusually resistant to being shaped by events. He reacts to pressure by doubling down, not stepping back. 5. Third, he is a second term president. That matters enormously. There is no electoral future to protect (Midterms aside). No campaign calculus to temper risk. The incentives change completely when the next election does not exist. 6. Fourth, Trump is deeply allergic to anything that looks remotely like a concession or a climbdown. Even when the narrative is fluid and post truth, the optics of retreat are something he instinctively rejects. 7. Fifth, the longer the perception builds that Iran has outplayed Washington, the greater the pressure on Trump to do something bold. Something sudden. Something few in the analyst class are currently modelling. 8. Sixth, there is one objective that Washington almost certainly cannot walk away from now: Iran’s enriched uranium. Exiting this war without seizing or neutralising that stockpile would be seen in Trump’s mind as failure. 9. Seventh, Trump clearly believes he is doing the world a favour. In his telling this is not just America’s fight. It is a service to the Gulf, to Israel, to the broader order that fears a nuclear Iran. 10. Eighth, he has escalation heft where it matters. Israel is already in the fight. Saudi Arabia and key Gulf states may not be on the front line but their political and logistical weight sits firmly on one side of this equation. 11. None of this erases the reality that Iran’s Hormuz leverage has been effective. It has changed the tone of the war and forced hesitation in Washington. 12.But the emerging consensus that Tehran now holds all the cards may itself be the next analytical trap. 13.Because if the president leading the most powerful military on earth believes he cannot exit without a decisive move, the story of this war may still have a very sharp turn left.

@RichardHaass 100% it can. It will literally only be possibly by an outside force eliminating the military regime of Iran so the people of Iran can rise up. How would the people of Iran decimate the Iranian military regime? Wouldn’t be possible. Your TDS is showing. 1/

Regime change might one day come to Iran, but it cannot be engineered from the outside or expected from within. That unavoidable uncertainty rules it out as a basis for US policy. open.substack.com/pub/richardhaa…

Everytime there is a crisis, the same people start publishing or posting stuff as if they really know the subject. This is one of those where @RichardHaass is either unaware or intentionally ignoring the fact that nothing short of an external regime change will end this nightmare. The regime is so entrenched and willing to kill as many of its own people as possible just to stay in power. What he has written is line saying, Yes Hitler is bad but the change must come from within Germany and no outside support.

These are specious conclusory statements with no grounding in history. Independent of humanitarian and human rights concerns, t he Iranian Islamist regime represents the single greatest threat to regional stability and national security, and its dismantling is critical to U.S. interests.

Before people in the West type another word about the "tragedies of war," look at this picture. This is Ali and his little girl, Shiva. On January 8th, regime forces gunned Ali down in the street. Days later, Shiva’s lifeless body was discovered. Her face had been bandaged. They didn't just execute a man; they slaughtered his child. While you sit comfortably across the globe panicking over the "humanitarian cost" of military strikes on Iran, understand this: our actual cost is measured in murdered families and empty bedrooms. You cry over the thought of buildings falling; we are burying our kids. We are not afraid of missiles hitting IRGC bases. We welcome them. Every bunker turned to ash brings us one step closer to ending nearly five decades of absolute butchery. We have already paid the ultimate toll in blood, and under the leadership of @PahlaviReza, we are ready to rise from the rubble.

Yousef al-Otaiba, UAE Ambassador to the US: “A simple cease-fire isn’t enough. We need a conclusive outcome that addresses Iran’s full range of threats: nuclear capabilities, missiles, drones, terror proxies and blockades of international sea lanes…We want Iran as a normal neighbor. It can be reclusive and even unwelcoming, but it can’t attack its neighbors, blockade international waters, or export extremism.” wsj.com/opinion/the-u-…

@USAIRISH8125 @sarahadams George Glaezzman, Paul Overby, Mahmood Habibi, and Dennis Coyle were the four Americans known to be held by Taliban. George Glezzman was released last year. Not clear if Paul Overby is still alive.
