Adam Carolla thinks I'm funny. He's a hilarious guy and I always thought he was a good judge of comedy until now.

Appreciate @EremNews highlighting the interview.
“This isn’t a peace deal — it’s a pause under pressure.”
The next two weeks will determine whether this de-escalates — or becomes more dangerous.

Ceasefire is a pause - not progress.
Diplomacy should have come first. Not Later.
The IRGC still holds power.
This story is far from over.

I packed a swimsuit for a 2-wk Doha trip
War broke out overnight.
Stayed a month.
200+ hours of live TV.
Learned:
• Narratives form before facts
• There is no “neutral”
• Pressure exposes who leads
In crisis, people who step forward define it
When your call comes, say yes

Trump rhetoric gets stronger because the results aren’t there as the clock keeps ticking.
Iran holds the lever in Hormuz - and drives global oil prices.
They don’t need to hit everything.
Just enough to change the game.

به مناسبت مراسم تشییع سلحشوران نیروی دریایی ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران: یاد آنان همواره در قلب ملت ایران خواهد بود و این شهادتها بنیان ارتش جمهوری اسلامی را برای سالها در ساختار نیروهای مسلح استوار مینماید. ازخداوند متعال علو درجات برای این شهدای عزیز خواستارم.

Joint statement by 🇬🇧 + 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 🇧🇭 🇰🇼 🇶🇦 🇴🇲 sets the predicate for joint collective action in the Strait of Hormuz. This is how coalitions are formed. gcc-sg.org/en/MediaCenter…

Notably, this was a written statement attributed to him and read by a presenter on state TV; still haven't heard from Khamenei in person

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed as a tool of pressure and adds that all US bases in the region should be closed as they would be attacked. ara.tv/hpsqo

Please, @AmitSegal , this is just blatant disinformation. I can only assume one of two things. Either you simply want to demonize Qatar, plain and simple, and don't care about the consequences. Or, you have a complete lack of understanding of geopolitics and regional conflict.
Qatar's LNG facilities were targeted by Iran's missiles/drones. The safest path forward for Qatar was to shut down the facilities. In the event of a strike, the damage would be far less severe. Keep in mind, restarting the trains is much easier to do than rebuilding an entire facility blown up in a strike. Wouldn't you agree?
Also, where did you think the gas was going to go? We put the gas on ships, and ships need to sail. Have you not seen the news about what's happening to ships in the Strait of Hormuz as a result of this conflict? The ships can't pass.
So, how can we keep the trains operational if there's nowhere for the gas to go?
And of course President Trump was furious. No one wants a global energy crisis. You do realize we don't make any money if the gas isn't flowing, right?
I think my argument is pretty clear and sound. Unlike yours. Do your research or just admit you're interested in publishing disinformation.

Shortly after the war broke out, Qatar announced the shutdown of its natural gas liquefaction facility due to an Iranian strike. The consequences were immediate: the global gas surplus vanished and energy prices surged. The United States is extremely sensitive to energy prices, especially this president, who returned to power on the shockwaves of runaway inflation. But then someone briefed the president that it might be part of a broader scheme: coordination between Iran and Qatar to close the facility in order to pressure an end to the war. According to the claim, Trump was furious and made clear it would not continue. The plight of the Qataris is touching: without Iran there is no need for a forward American base in Doha, and without such a base the influence of the gas emirate evaporates. Perhaps that is why, since the start of the war, the Qataris have sent several unusually conciliatory messages to Israel. Suddenly Israeli bombings are no longer described on Al Jazeera as genocide. At this rate, even Tucker Carlson—lubricated by vast Qatari funding—may rediscover the wonders of the Jewish people. They may deserve it. But even some of our great friends, like the UAE, are on the receiving end of this war. For their sake and ours, the war should end with a decisive outcome. Unlike us, they did not build their state under fire. If they become the frontline in the coming years, we will be crowned as the ones responsible, with all the problematic consequences. Out of desperation, Qatar’s leaders may expel Hamas from their territory. The pretext is Hamas’s failure to condemn the Iranian attacks. The real reason is a desire to move closer to the West. The possible end of the ayatollahs’ regime also signals the end of the era of mediation. If there is no Shiite terror empire, there are no hostages to return, no wars to end, and no money to lubricate. Hamas leaders are not having an easy time either. Turkey is unlikely to welcome them—especially now that Erdoğan has discovered that Trump, whom he believed was in his pocket, has been conducting a long and secret affair with the Kurds he despises. After all, what is Hamas to do when dad bombs mom? This week Iran’s embassy in Doha opened a condolence book for the death of Khamenei. The Iranians expected that after so many years of cooperation, Hamas leaders would come to pay their respects. On the other hand, that is not a message that would be received well by the Qataris these days, while they are being hit by ballistic missiles. So they hesitated, and hesitated—and the condolence book, for now, remains empty. To read the rest of today's newsletter click here. amitsegal.substack.com/p/its-noon-in-…

In Iran, 2009’s video of Neda Agha-Soltan forced the world to look.
I even argued for a Nobel nomination for @X.
That idea jumped from Tehran to @NewYorker (@Gladwell ) and @TheAtlantic (@biz).
In 2026, I wouldn’t make that case.

As I told @POLITICO_EE & @MikeSoraghan:
Bush believed oil wasn’t purpose of war - freedom was. Iraq was strategic failure until 2007 surge, at huge cost. Venezuela will test whether smarter strategy - and transactional logic - can avoid repeating history.
