I remember seeing that the Bob Lazar episode of Rogan was the most watched ever - outperforming even Trump. He’s on again:

I miss Barack Obama man

🚨 ABC News confirms: Iran used advanced passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. It cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems. It is invisible to the technology America has spent trillions building its air superiority around.

JUST IN - A second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, was downed by Iran today near the Strait of Hormuz — NYT

Iran has zero air defenses to speak of. American forces are just flying through southern Iran with total impunity.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's former Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, is offering everyone a way out of the war. As the chief nuclear negotiator for the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, he knows exactly how this story usually ends, with both sides crawling back to negotiations after pretending they didn’t want them. His latest proposal simply skips the theatrical middle act. Iran has held up under pressure. It has taken hits, returned them, and reminded the world that it still sits astride one of the most economically sensitive choke points on Earth, the Strait of Hormuz. That’s enough to claim leverage, maybe even “victory.” He proposes capping the nuclear program at non-weapons levels with real monitoring. Lift the sanctions that have turned Iran’s economy into a case study in endurance. Reopen Hormuz so the global economy can stop holding its breath. And sign a non-aggression pact that forces both Washington and Tehran to put their favorite pastime, mutual hostility, on pause. It’s a deal built on mutual exhaustion and cold calculation, which, historically, is the only kind that ever sticks. The uncomfortable reality here is that every side has already tested its preferred strategy. The U.S. tried squeezing Iran into submission with sanctions. Iran adapted. Israel tried setting back capabilities with strikes. The program still exists. Iran tried proving it could outlast everyone. It did, but at a cost that keeps rising. Zarif is basically saying: call it. Of course, that’s where the proposal runs into its biggest obstacle, not feasibility, but pride. Because “declaring victory and going home” sounds suspiciously like compromise, and compromise is deeply unpopular in the middle of a war people are still trying to narrate as winnable. Critics will say Iran can’t be trusted, that sanctions relief is a gift, that any deal is just a timeout before the next round. But the alternative is more strikes that don’t resolve the core issue, more sanctions that don’t collapse the system, and more escalation that inches everyone closer to a conflict no one can control.
