🇮🇱🇮🇷 The 12 Day War would have been catastrophic for Israel without American radar and munitions backing the Iron Dome. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar was on the ground in Beersheba, a block from where a ballistic missile hit, and watched the entire air defense system nearly collapse in real time. "Without the United States cooperation and support in its radar functionality to identify missiles further out, the Iron Dome would become overwhelmed." @AnthonyAgu88102




🚨 NOW: Sec. Sean Duffy JUST WENT OFF on the Biden admin and Elizabeth Warren for CANCELING the Spirit and JetBlue merger in 2024 that would've saved the budget airline Now we have LESS COMPETITION, despite them claiming the merger would've harmed consumers. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP "Elizabeth Warren cheered the BLOCKING...saying this was a 'Biden win for fliers.'" "We CARE about pricing! We care about competition. But if the markets say there needs to be a merger because of health issues with an airline, we HAVE to make sure we make the right choices." "History has judged the denial of the JetBlue-Spirit merger under Biden as a MASSIVE MISTAKE!"

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The last few hours have been a stretch of increasingly awkward reality checks as the Iran situation keeps grinding forward: Trump tried to reboot talks by sending Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan, signaling that negotiations are supposedly back on. Iran’s response: they’re not even planning to meet them. So you now have a situation where one side is flying negotiators into the room, and the other side is very publicly not showing up. Trump, meanwhile, is still talking like a deal is possible, even hinting Iran might make an offer, while also keeping military pressure maxed out. So the messaging is basically: “we’re close to peace” and “we’re ready to escalate” at the same time. Oil markets are reacting exactly how you’d expect to that kind of coherence, bouncing between relief and panic depending on which headline hits first. At sea, the standoff continues, with U.S. forces enforcing pressure and Iran continuing disruption tactics, meaning the economic chokehold part of the war is still fully active. Zoom out and the pattern is getting clearer: attempts at diplomacy that don’t quite connect, military pressure that never really pauses, and both sides talking past each other while insisting progress is happening. The usual chaos, just more chaotic.



















🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's Permanent Rep to the UN Amir-Saeid Iravani said it clearly: "As soon as the U.S. lifts the naval blockade, the next round of negotiations will take place in Islamabad." They throw the ball to the U.S.; are they responding? x.com/NabilAbiSaab/s…
