ISRAEL SPENT $56M OUT OF $190M BUDGET
These are the FARA registered companies plus Google (who apparently doesn’t need to register) propagandizing America on behalf of Israel:
- SKDK
- Google
- Clock Tower X
- Bridges Partners (Israelis)
- Show Faith by Works
After SKDK was exposed in the news, they stated they were closing their contract and deregistering as Israel agents, however, those documents are still not filed with FARA. Regardless, there work was basically done since they were performing the initial planning and testing. Now, we’re in the implementation phase.

@ShaykhSulaiman They want you to believe these two entities operate exclusively to each other. No. They’re one and the same. We must stop being fooled into saying what they want us to think and say.
JUST IN: Israel is happy that Trump has ended the negotiations, which means that Trump is ready to extract enriched uranium from Iran at any cost.

This is a crucial point on Iran by Chas Freeman, the former US Assistant Secretary of Defense and, relevant to the topic, former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (also, incidentally, one of the very rare former senior US officials who's a genuinely thoughtful diplomat as opposed to a sociopathic neocon).
What Freeman explains is that Iran's control of Hormuz, which Trump implicitly admitted is beyond the US's ability to contest (by saying in his speech it's not his problem to solve, that "others" should deal with it), will necessarily lead to a reshaping of the regional order in Iran's favor.
As Freeman says, "the Gulf Arabs have no alternative but to negotiate with Iran because they cannot survive indefinitely with the Strait of Hormuz closed to their exports." Meanwhile, countries like China, India, Japan, and Turkey have already worked out transit agreements with Tehran - de-facto recognizing Iranian authority over the strait.
In effect, Iranian control of Hormuz is now a fait accompli: they control the valve on the single largest concentration of hydrocarbon exports on earth. This is a long-term reality with immense implications.
In fact it's such a massive long-term win for Iran that the way the war may ironically be remembered by history is Trump giving Tehran the ideal casus belli to seize control of Hormuz - something the world would have never accepted had they done it unprovoked.
It remains to be seen how the war ends - if it ends at all - but this may end up proving even more valuable to Iran than nuclear weapons.
For instance, as Freeman points out, one of the conditions Iran set for Hormuz passage is an end to sanctions and hostility toward them. The logical endpoint is the collapse of the entire sanctions regime - Iran trading openly with the world (save, presumably, for the US and Israel), without having to make any guarantees on its nuclear program.
In other words Trump tore up the JCPOA calling it "the worst deal in history," and his war may have replaced it with something infinitely more favorable to Tehran.

The ISS circles the earth once every 90 minutes. Of the seven crew members aboard the ISS, no one thought it would be a good idea to film Artemis 2 lifting off and punching through the atmosphere from the perspective of space? It could have been one of the most historic sites ever filmed.
@imetatronink There’ll be no such ploy in America, anytime soon, I can assure you of that. When all is said and done, Americans “still” prefer an evil empire to no empire at all.
🔸 Civil wars do not happen because the masses rise up against their masters. They happen when a schism forms between the masters, who then use long-refined methods to enlist factions of the masses to fight for them against their rivals.
"This war in Iran is a humiliating embarrassment to the United States because we couldn't achieve our objectives and now they've taken control of the global economy. We can't stop them, so Trump is left with one option: escalate to deescalate"
