🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian sources paint a darker picture of the negotiations than what's being reported... Tehran says talks are "progressing" but the atmosphere is "far less positive" than U.S. and Pakistani media suggest. The gaps go beyond Hormuz and the nuclear file. Multiple issues remain wide open and the distrust toward Washington is described as "extreme." This matters because the optimistic framing coming from Washington and Islamabad sets expectations that may not match reality. Trump saying the war is "very close to over" while Iranian negotiators describe unbridgeable gaps on multiple fronts creates a dangerous mismatch. The distrust is earned. Iran negotiated a nuclear deal in 2015. The U.S. pulled out. Iran entered talks in 2025. The U.S. bombed them. They came to Islamabad in good faith. The U.S. launched a naval blockade while the ceasefire was still in effect. From Tehran's perspective, every American handshake has been followed by a fist. Source: @Spectator_MENA








🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is rerouting an aircraft carrier around Africa because it's too afraid to sail past the Houthis. Former CIA officer Larry Johnson lays out what actually happened. Bases destroyed. The 5th Fleet's only repair and refit facility wiped out. Air defense missiles burned through. And the USS George H.W. Bush had to reroute around the Horn of Africa because Washington is too afraid to sail through Houthi waters. He says the Gulf states were promised American protection. The U.S. couldn't deliver it. "Think about that." For decades the entire Gulf security architecture was built on one assumption. That assumption just got tested. And it failed.



Three carrier strike groups are converging on the Persian Gulf for the first time since March 2003. The last time that happened, the Iraqi government fell 72 hours later. You deter with one carrier. You fight with two. You finish with three.
