🇺🇸🇮🇷 A DIVIDED U.S. IS TO BLAME FOR A LACK OF RESTRAINT IN WAR Aaron Maté said that a polarized U.S. is a key prerequisite for American foreign policy spiraling out of control. Trump doesn’t need to act with restraint because voters have become too rigid. “It’s a very polarized nation where people are struggling to make it because the economy is declining. There’s not a lot of space out there for public opposition to war.” @aaronjmate

2nd American F15E crew member rescued and safe after complex rescue operation that began Friday morning, two senior US officials confirm to me.




🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 A strike hit near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, killing a security guard. IAEA is concerned, but no radiation leak so far. Iran warns any fallout would devastate Gulf nations. The conflict is spreading and getting more dangerous by the hour. Source: ABC, HRW



🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran: "We will demonstrate our capabilities in the field. New air defense systems that are being built domestically will be unveiled one after another in the field of action. We will definitely achieve full control over our country's sky and will prove the humiliation of the cowardly enemy to the world more than ever." @TabzLIVE




🇮🇷 Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf just posted a very pointed question about which countries and companies depend most on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait for oil, LNG, wheat, rice, and fertilizer shipments. To be clear, that's a multi-layered threat. First, the Houthi card. Iran doesn't border the Bab el-Mandeb; Yemen does. By pointing at this chokepoint, Ghalibaf is reminding everyone that Tehran can order the Houthis to shut down the Red Sea entirely. Despite Saudi backroom efforts to keep them quiet, Iran is signaling they're ready to pull the trigger. Second, he's weaponizing global starvation. He didn't just mention oil and LNG. He specifically highlighted wheat, rice, and fertilizer. With Hormuz already choked and crude past $140, closing Bab el-Mandeb would simultaneously trigger an energy crisis in Europe and food shortages across the developing world. Third, he's putting a target on corporate boardrooms. By asking "which companies" have the highest transit volumes, he's warning the likes of Maersk and MSC that their vessels are in the crosshairs. The goal is to spark panic in maritime insurance markets that halts shipping before a single missile is even fired. The message to Washington is crystal clear: keep bombing our capital and dismantling our infrastructure, and we will use our proxies to dismantle the global supply chain. Two chokepoints. One lever. And Iran still has its hand on it. And he's doing it with a thinking emoji, which might be the most menacing use of an emoji in the history of geopolitics...



Just curious, Ms. Loomer, if there is such a simple military solution to open the STRAIT, why after 35 days of war does it remain closed? Secondly, how do you square the “kind hearted President Trump” with the declaration that he will bomb them just two days ago “back into the Stone Age “where they belong”, and secretary of war Pete Hegseth declaring there would be no Mercy or quarter given to Iran?








la cosa es así: López Aliaga y Keiko pierden contra Roberto Sánchez. sí o sí. la derecha necesita colocar a otro en la segunda vuelta. pero, claro, no lo harán.



🚨🇮🇷 Absolutely massive explosions seen in Tehran.
