Did you know? In the library of St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai, there’s a letter from the Islamic prophet Muhammad promising protection to all Christians and their churches under Muslim rule. Signed with his palm print ✋🏽According to tradition he was friends with the monks

@FiliusGrok @EthanLevins2 What like the Israelis?

@EthanLevins2 They are military targets because the IRGC TERRORISTS are hiding in them. This is war. This is what happens when you are fighting the Devil. This world is done with these death cult, lunatic regimes.

The U.S. has bombed 498 schools and 281 medical facilities in Iran so far. How are these military targets? Who the hell is approving this?

Bombing 498 schools & 281 hospitals in Iran isn’t ‘defense,’ it’s war crimes. These aren’t military targets, they’re children’s classrooms & patients’ lifelines. And the saddest part? Ordinary Americans don’t want this war either they’re forced to pay for it with their taxes while Trump’s administration wages destruction in their name. Iran bleeds, but so does America’s conscience.

@EthanLevins2 The US & Israel struck the neonatal ward of Bushehr Hospital. In this ward, if even one machine is disconnected, newborn babies could lose their lives.

You're three weeks into a war that has created unforseen, unimagined leverage for you. You control the strait of hormuz and with it a massive chunk of the global economy. You've achieved some sanction relief. You've got most of the globe on your side in what is the most unpopular US war of all time. You have the gulf nations flapping and seriously rethinking their security strategies. And your next move is to set a couple of old banjaxed ambulances on fire in North London.

Possibly more important than Trump's self destruction

“Today’s 2 yr auction was terrible:” @pboockvar The bid-to-cover ratio was the weakest since May 2024 and dealers got stuck with the largest amount since October 2022. Traders are having a hard time pricing Fed policy as oil prices swing higher.

BREAKING: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos said there's a “distinct possibility" planes may be grounded due to a jet fuel shortage caused by the war on Iran, Bloomberg reported.

Fortune: The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole, it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025 The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it | Fortune

82ND AIRBORNE HEADS TO MIDDLE EAST Fox News has learned that Maj. Gen. Brandon Tegtmeier, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, and his headquarters staff have been ordered to deploy to the Middle East. The move comes as the Pentagon and White House consider sending the division for possible land operations, including potential missions in Iran such as Kharg Island. The New York Times first reported yesterday that the Pentagon is weighing this deployment.

@KobeissiLetter Having caused one genocide in the 20th century, in the 21st the German state - contrary to most people who recognise that Israeli is a pariah genocidal state, wants to bolster it in its territorial expansion

BREAKING: Volkswagen is in talks with Israel’s Iron Dome maker over a deal that would switch production at one of their factories from cars to missile defense, per FT. The German government is actively supporting the proposal.

@kevinmc16934850 @imetatronink And then whats the aim? To attack ships, chinese ships? - then the US is at war with more countries

@GCarleton64 @imetatronink Kharg is not the target. Somewhere on the Iranian coast close to the straits is the target.

🤡🌍 General Cornflake Mumbles Madness US Army Lieutenant General (Ret.) Keith Kellogg advocates for sacrificing thousands of American soldiers in a futile attempt to subjugate Iran.

@imetatronink @kevinmc16934850 I know that coast. It arid & v mountainous. Worse, i cant work out what aim would be. Kharg i get, to cut off iranian oil, but then u cant manoevre & are subject to missile attack. Elsewhere what is aim?-to attack ships approaching gulf? Thats war with more states- why do that?

@kevinmc16934850 @GCarleton64 Anyone who believes any sort of US amphibious / airborne landing can be executed anywhere in the Persian Gulf is clueless about the military realities involved. Any attempt to do it will see US forces get torn to pieces.

@RKelanic Indeed! Just to quibble: Suez operation was a complete military success. Militarily, UK & France could do pretty much as they wanted. Operation musketeer 'failed' 'cos of failure of US to support UK & the run on pound; UK could no longer fund such wars & so was forced to withdraw

This creative misreading of the Suez Crisis misses the point. Trump’s Iran war is already the US’s Suez Moment — the inflection point where US strategic decline becomes painfully undeniable. Britain, France and Israel lost Suez because they overestimated their own military and economic strength. Israel was acting as a revisionist and expansionist power, and tag-teamed with stronger Western allies to attempt to redraw Mideast borders in a supposedly “preventive” war against Nasser’s Egypt— in that case, the fear that Nasser would close the Suez Canal. *The war itself* then provoked Nasser to close canal. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sounds familiar, eh? The author wrongly concludes, however, that Uk, France & Israel’s mistake was backing down, and hence, destroying their own credibility. The ACTUAL mistake was starting the war to begin with. Fighting for the sake of “preserving credibility” is like chasing losses at a casino. Genuine credibility can’t be manufactured by fighting. It naturally flows from vital national interests. The U.S. doesn’t need to “prove” it will fight for its core interests, like defense of the homeland from attack. The credibility of retaliation to attack on the U.S. homeland is inherent. (Kind of like how Iran’s threats to retaliate to US/Israel attacks on its territory were also inherently credible. Trump was foolish to discount them.) Where U.S. leaders have screwed up too many times is in trying to manufacture false credibility when the issues at stake *don’t* threaten core U.S. interests — like regime change in Iran, ending Iran’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, etc. and all the other demands Israel foisted on the US-Iran nuclear talks. Everyone knows Iran cares a lot more about its own survival than the U.S. cares about Iran’s survival. The war is existential for Iran but NOT existential for the US. That means the balance of interests favors Iran, and always will, no matter what crazy hoops the U.S. jumps itself through, at great cost, to try and prove otherwise. That’s how we ended up fighting 20 years in Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. They outlasted us and everyone knew they eventually would. Let’s hope Trump deescalates the conflict and avoids the credibility trap in Iran, which leads only to quagmire. @defpriorities wsj.com/opinion/americ…

Absolute bombshell. Krystal Ball reveals that the missile strike on Bahrain blamed on Iran was actually an American Tomahawk missile. The US and Israel are literally conducting false flag operations to drag the Gulf states and Europe into a massive regional war.

NEW DIRECT IRANIAN STRIKE ON DIMONA 🇮🇷 ⚔️🇮🇱 Iranian ballistic missile is currently striking the ultra-secret site of the Negev Nuclear Research Center (Israel’s undeclared nuclear program). According to IEA - there is no enriched plutonium at Negev Nuclear Research Center in Israel and not nuclear bomb there so there is nothing to worry about.

With Hezbollah trapping the IDF in Southern Lebanon and destroying them at the same time the Iranian missiles are targeting assembly points for Israeli reserve soldiers gathering to be sent to Lebanon - we might see the liberation of Gaza in the next few weeks by Hezbollah. Trump will be fired as the Chairman of the Gaza Peace Board when that happens.

"Airports in Israel are packed right now. Flights out of Israel are full headed for cities like New York/New Jersey, Miami, Los Angeles, London and Paris. They are evacuating the Middle East in large numbers with many indicating they will not return." ©nkozi_jay
