@citrinowicz @NickKristof Watching you contort yourself to invent wins for them is fucking hilarious. Iran is isolated, degraded and fucked. They can’t even really play their one card. Their only other strategic card is useful idiots like you. But what diss that really get them?

I’m concerned that, in this round, Iran came out with the upper hand. It demonstrated not only its ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz, which it effectively controls, but also its willingness to keep it closed until conditions aligned with its interests, while refusing to yield to U.S. demands. Only after pressure from President Trump on the Israeli Prime Minister, and the subsequent ceasefire, was the strait reopened in line with the commitments tied to that agreement. The takeaway from this episode is clear: Iran not only holds leverage over the strait, but any future arrangement with Tehran will have to be credibly enforced. Otherwise, the “Hormuz card” can and likely will be played again. Iran is not entering the next round from a position of weakness. From Tehran’s perspective, it may have made tactical concessions, since it is clear that even any closure of the strait in the coming weeks, given the volume of tanker traffic, would inflict significant pain on global markets. but strategically it reinforced its core message: it sets the terms in this arena and will not accept dictates in ita view, from outside powers, And if Israel were to violate the ceasefire, the strait would likely be closed again. This development should serve as a reminder to the administration that this is not a simple winner-takes-all outcome. From Iran’s perspective, this is a negotiation, one it enters from a position of strength. It's really became the "strait of Iran", that were open before the war unfortunately. #Iran

@NickKristof Translation: Jew hater implies Israel kills children

I've been very critical of President Trump's war on Iran, but the Lebanon ceasefire is a real step forward. Not sure if Lebanon-Israel talks will lead anywhere, but at least the ceasefire stops the killing of Lebanese children and makes an Iran-US peace deal more plausible.

@AnilZeks @WalshFreedom @havivrettiggur Engage with the facts, idiot

Iran's Seyed Mohammad Marandi: “Because of Netanyahu and Trump, Iran is preparing to destroy everything in the Persian Gulf - including all critical infrastructure in the UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Temperatures will rise, the Peninsula will become uninhabitable, and the global economy will crash.”

@BRICSinfo lol ok

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran says it has arrested 35 Israeli Mossad agents.

@brhodes Horseshit. Her framing of these issues is absolutely antisemitic. She is using words to argue that Israel is targeting children. That is a fucking lie.

It is grotesque and gravely damaging to the fight against anti-Semitism to smear a wonderful person like Ms. Rachel with the term for supporting wounded children.

@LangmanVince I’m out. I might not always vote Republican, but I’m leaving the party

Why do Jewish Americans vote for Democrats in America?

@SenatorSlotkin It’s amazing that your a fucking senator and I know about Irans capabilities than you. Fucking power hungry slob

Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers. In the future, I will continue to assess U.S.-funded offensive weapons to Israel on a case-by-case basis, and I will continue to support sending Israel much-needed defensive weapons, like Iron Dome. I have struggled with these Joint Resolutions of Disapproval as much as any vote since I joined Congress. I represent a state with a large Arab and Muslim population and a large Jewish population. And over these last two-plus years, few issues have been as raw, painful, and personal as this one. Throughout that time, I have worked hard to call balls and strikes based on my experience and the facts on the ground, even when some are reluctant to consider new information. My entire life, I have been -- and continue to be -- a strong supporter of a Jewish and democratic State of Israel. The people of Israel, like all people throughout the region, deserve long-term security and peace. But being pro-Israel today is not about simply supporting the political or military agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu, just like being pro-American should not be equated with loyalty to President Trump. This is a complex truth that many of us who support Israel hold, and it applies to my own patriotism and government as well. I can support the security of a country without supporting the specific policies of any one political party or leader. And if Israelis can take part in rigorous debate and protests of their own government’s policies, Americans supportive of Israel can do the same thing. I have no love lost for the Iranian regime or their proxy groups like Hezbollah. I know firsthand from three tours in Iraq alongside our military how Iran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and thousands more civilians in the Middle East. But President Trump committed the U.S. to a war of choice against Iran, alongside Israel, with no evidence of an imminent threat, no clear objectives, and without Congressional approval. Seven weeks in, he has yet to provide a strategy for this war or a clear path to get out of it. So just as I am against more U.S.-funded weapons to Israel today, I am also deeply skeptical of more U.S. funding for the Iran war, which reportedly could be anywhere between $50 to $200 billion, on top of $1 trillion provided to the Pentagon last year. Every American should be invested in the U.S. ending this war with the least possible loss of blood and treasure. It is my hope that we can get a comprehensive and durable ceasefire as soon as possible.

@visegrad24 Round all the weapons up an parachute them into the resistance in Iran

Israel Defense Forces discovered a Russian-made Kornet anti-tank missile launchers in southern Lebanon, used by Hezbollah to plan and carry out attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. 🇮🇱🇱🇧🇷🇺

@gregisenberg This is revelatory

agents are the new apps the dirty secret of the SaaS era is that the software never actually worked. it was always 70% product, 30% the specific person in your company who knew how to make it behave. that person was called a "power user" they were actually just a human patch agents replace the patch and suddenly everyone realizes the software was broken the whole time what's cool is how much opportunity there is right now so pick a niche. any niche that you believe 1% of the market is $5M ARR+ there the leader in that space has a 20 year old codebase and a customer base that only stayed because switching was painful and that pain just got a lot easier to swallow agents are the new apps are you building yet

@raitzin @yaakovkatz The truth is probably in between. But if just one of those guys is a killer it could be a horror show. What a depressing situation.

@yaakovkatz I think most of them want you and your children dead and for their children to become martyrs in doing so. And not bc they are inherently evil, but bc they were brainwashed starting at the age of 2.

Many people have watched this video and praised the Israeli security forces for detecting the infiltration. I watch it and feel something else - sadness. We don’t yet know who these men are, but they’re likely not terrorists. They’re people trying to get into Israel to work, to earn a living and to provide for their families and if that means cramming in to a garbage truck then they are willing to do it. That’s why this video isn’t an accomplishment but a reminder that another people lives here too - most of whom want what anyone else wants: a job, stability, a future for their children. And yet beyond military operations - in Gaza, in the West Bank - there is no political horizon. Talks happen in Washington about Lebanon, but closer to home it’s as if there’s nothing to discuss. That’s not just bad policy. It’s wrong.

@LaBoltedOne @floydyid @niccruzpatane @grok Costs $1200 to fill up a diesel. Costs $250 to charge this… money is money.

This is the sound of the all-electric Tesla Semi. Deliveries of the new Production Version begin this year: • Long Range model has 500 miles of range with a full payload. • 1.7 kWh per mile efficiency (average diesel semis are roughly 5–7 kWh per mile equivalent energy use). • Tri-motor powertrain with 800 kW of power (~1,073 hp), 3x the power of the average diesel semi. • The battery in the Semi is designed to last 1M miles. • Standard Range model (325 mi) has a similar turning radius as a Tesla Model 3/Y. • 0.4 drag coefficient. • Independent truckers are able to buy a Semi for use, not just fleet owners. • Semi fleet uptime is at 95% due to extremely low maintenance and reliability. • Integrated safety features in the Semi protect not just the driver but others on the road as well. • Future wireless charging. • Semi uses the same 4680 battery cells found in the Cybertruck. • Semi can power a whole refrigeration trailer or any powered unit. The technology is shared with Cybertruck Powershare.

@PodSaveAmerica You smug losers

While the peace talks with Iran fell apart in Islamabad, Trump went to a UFC match.

@citrinowicz @NickKristof It’s amazing how hatred of Trump clouds your thinking. Today we are closer to peace with Iran than we have been in decades.

The United States and Iran are drifting into a familiar and dangerous pattern: a war of attrition where each side believes it can impose more pain than it can absorb. History suggests this is a recipe not for resolution, but for escalation. Today, Tehran sees little reason to compromise. Its leadership assesses that it can withstand pressure and respond in kind, more effectively than Washington anticipates. In this environment, additional military or coercive measures are unlikely to break the stalemate. If anything, they risk accelerating a slide toward renewed confrontation, potentially even before the current ceasefire framework fully unravels. What’s missing is not leverage, but strategy. For too long, U.S. policy has treated Iran’s nuclear program as a binary choice: either full rollback or unacceptable risk. But this framing is flawed. Recognizing Iran’s right to limited uranium enrichment under strict constraints is not the same as accepting a nuclear-armed Iran. In fact, it may be the only realistic path to preventing one. A viable diplomatic path must include a mechanism that allows Iran to “save face” while still meeting core nonproliferation objectives. This is not concession, it is strategy. There is a deal to be made. But it will not emerge from maximalist demands or the illusion that pressure alone can force surrender. Nor does it require regime change, an objective that is neither realistic nor necessary for achieving U.S. goals. Breaking the current deadlock will require the administration to move beyond coercion as the primary tool and adopt a more calibrated approach, one that combines firmness with strategic flexibility. Absent that shift, the United States risks not only diplomatic failure, but an escalation whose costs will far exceed any perceived gains. #IranWar‌

@__Injaneb96 @hahussain @SecRubio can you look into this? In fucking Glendora? Seriously?

🚨 Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf is posting in perfect English, with memes, hashtags & emojis, straight from CALIFORNIA. IranWire just published an article claiming that Ghalibaf's X account is run by ex-advisor Meysam Zamanabadi, living in Glendora, LA for a decade. Meysam is the son of one of the Islamic Republic’s first intelligence censors, the guy who shut down journalists right after the Revolution. Even after moving to America, he was still getting 40 million Tomans (~$11,000) every month from Tehran, wired in foreign cash through a shady Ferdowsi Square exchange. His dad’s old colleague funneled another 30 million from every official check straight to Meysam’s family. This is the same guy who helped pick Ghalibaf’s current top advisor, and who presents himself as “PhD in Media Psychology” from a U.S. university. The slick propaganda style you have been seeing in his posts is not Ghalibaf. It's Iranian regime's ghostwriter in California. The regime’s loudest voice is being run from the country it claims to hate. Source: iranwire.com/en/features/15…

@sapphire_211 @DGFrick @Osint613 Instead netanyahu is triumphant and Khamenei’s disfigured homo son is the sipping his meals through a straw as the new ayatollah. My hope when this all goes down is that last act of the Basij is requiring Mojtaba to get a sex change operation or face execution

Ahmad Vahidi, IRGC chief, on Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf: “The supreme leader isn’t even buried yet, and yet Ghalibaf is already shaking hands with those who kiIIed him.” -C14

@DGFrick @Osint613 Bro, those are our guys. Let’s them beat their chests for the hardliners.

@Osint613 Since talks failed, does Israel have permission to readd the Iranian mediators to target list? Of course that only applies if IRGC doesn’t take them down first.
