Trump and his team are disclosing a LOT of detail about this rescue mission - how they found the US pilots, how they tricked the Iranians, CIA capabilities - when we are still at war, pilots are flying over Iran daily, and this could happen again. Seems like a bad idea!

BREAKING: Iran has sent a 10-point response (via Pakistan) to a U.S. proposal to end the war, rejecting a temporary ceasefire and instead demanding a permanent end on its own terms. Iran says a ceasefire alone is not acceptable → wants a lasting settlement. Demands include: End of regional fighting. Sanctions relief. Reconstruction support. Safe transit rules in the Strait of Hormuz. Source: IRNA

In my new piece in The New York Times today, I argue the Iran war has reached a point Washington still refuses to say out loud: either the U.S. escalates to a ground war—or Iran emerges as a new center of global power. Think about—what stops this future? nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

BREAKING: US pilot rescue may have been cover to 'steal enriched uranium', Iran foreign ministry says 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/ukui10?update=…

In this war, there are allied pilots shooting down three F-15s in a row, all kinds of mechanical failures, and even two C-130s having mechanical breakdowns at the same time and in the exact same place. Then people ask me why I always challenge the official narratives. It must be because they are ridiculously stupid. In everywhere and from any govt. Analysts, journalists, and OSINT accounts that don’t seriously question the official version of the war don’t even deserve to be read or followed. As for those C-130s, with that many holes from air defense shrapnel, it’s no wonder they had multiple mechanical failures at the same time.
