A source familiar with private plans & discussions tells me Ali Larijani was, for the US & Israel, the most favored transitional candidate as of Sept 2025, but became a target early Feb 2026. The source said Larijani became a target when he: -Pushed for crackdown on protesters; -Took front seat in lashing out at US/Israel; -⁠Assumed key role in strategizing the IRGC kinetic actions, in particular against GCC states.

"I don't think Russia has the capability to [come to Iran's defence]. Russia is currently completely massively, sunk in in Ukraine." Ukraine's former defense minister, Andriy Zagorodnyuk believes Russia "can't actually help Iran apart from shipping some weapons systems and some technologies, maybe even money and definitely intelligence."

"We risk going from short-term disruption to long-term structural damage to the oil market," @elerianm tells me. "The increase in the oil price is going to persist for a while and that is going to mean not only higher interest rates, but lower growth, higher unemployment and a greater risk of financial instability."

“The beneficiary of this war [in Iran] is Putin, filling up his coffers with oil dollars… and the reduction in support being given to Ukraine,” says former NATO deputy commander Richard Shirreff. Europe & Canada “must absolutely double down… increasing support for Ukraine.”

“Iran's military capability… has been severely degraded. So in that sense, in a sort of attritional, industrial warfare sense, America and Israel have the upper hand,” says former NATO dep. commander Richard Shirreff. “But right now, because of the Strait of Hormuz… I think President Trump is in danger of looking pretty stupid now, because clearly he and his military planners did not wargame the effect… of their operations.”

“Trust in America [within] the alliance has been broken,” says fmr. NATO dep. commander Richard Shirreff. With allies so far refusing to get involved in the Strait of Hormuz, “I’m not surprised there is this real reluctance to dance to Trump’s tune,” Shirreff adds. “This is a war he started.”

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.
Acyn@Acyn

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.
