Amirhossein's mom asked us to share these photos of him. He was executed today by the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran. He was only 18 years old. 🖤💔 Send the Ayatollahs and the demonic Muslim Nazis back to the Stone Age.

The islamic regime just struck a civilian area with its own weaponry out of pure incompetence. Will any of the people crying about an IRGC bridge condemn this?

@Rainmaker1973 @AMAcquarone @elonmusk This is still the best account on X.

@AMAcquarone @elonmusk I asked him, but he's a very busy person and with lots of businesses. The hope is that he can see the request and sends someone to investigate, yes. Many thanks 🙏

Day 5 of a collapsing account Every morning there's less impressions since last Sunday despite the activity was unchanged. What happened? Did really SOMEONE think I'm a bot with a totally automatic activity here? Doesn't X have a system to check this and see my posts are 80% live from 6.30 am to 9 pm every single day with no pauses? I'm starting to believe what people say is real, now. No replies, no signs. I'll keep on documenting this wonderful treatment. I ran this account for 11+ years, most of which without payouts. Being seriously ill with a failed kidney transplant, on the brink of dialysis and with adverse diagnoses every month, this account is still important because it helps me live as it did for years, saving me from depression. But now, with what people say, this is making lose sleep and deeply worsening my health. At least an explanation would be well accepted.

The Islamic regime has carried out at least 648 executions so far in 2026 (341 in January alone). Meanwhile, an unfinished bridge near Tehran, primarily intended for military use, was struck in airstrikes. Guess which story has leftists flooding timelines nonstop? Priorities, right? I'm from inside Iran and no one cares about this bridge. Please be the voice of our suffering people. #IranMassacre‌ #IranRevolution2026‌ iran-hrm.com/2026/04/01/312…

@Simpsd3 @kajakallas Wot? You are four decades too late. All of Iran's assets in the EU have been frozen since the 1980s. Iran does sod all business with the EU.

I had a phone call with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi today to discuss the situation in Iran and its impact on the global economy and energy security. We also discussed EU-China relations. Iranian attacks on civilian ships, and the threat of more, have brought traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to a near halt. This is why restoring safe, toll-free freedom of navigation in the Strait, consistent with the Law of the Sea, is an urgent priority. The EU supports all diplomatic efforts to achieve this and calls for de-escalation and restraint. Attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure must cease.

@DrJStrategy The thesis that the US is able but not willing to open the straight rings true but my take is that this is done to emphasize that European nations must step up militarily and not rely on the US.

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

Make him a saint, Gavin Newsom’s hospices have a 97% survival rate.

@__Injaneb96 Has been taken over, it was good while it lasted.

Islam has taken over the UK. The kingdom that once took over the world is being taken over.

@Sargon_of_Akkad It is a hostage situation...don't negotiate with terrorists.

Smart play tbh.

@TheZeitgeistNZ I think he is dead...

See. You just have to get the Ayatollah on the blower. Pick up the phone Luxo!

@MiddleEast_24 Why is it currently unsafe???

Iran drafting protocol with Oman for Strait of Hormuz Iran is drafting protocol with Oman to monitor the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian official told IRNA that ship traffic through the key global oil passage will be supervised between the two countries. The traffic “should be supervised and coordinated”, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy minister of legal and international affairs, told a translation of IRNA’s report. “Of course, these requirements will not mean restrictions, but rather to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships that pass through this route.”

Saying that the Iranian regime represents the Zoroastrian Persian empire is like saying that the USA represents the ‘native Americans’ because we’re using Tomahawk missiles and Apache helicopters.

@aniobrien Why Charles, or why no Easter message?

Why?

Holy Week in Spain is absolutely unreal

Europe has inadvertently destroyed the argument that the U.S. does not need sovereignty over Greenland because of NATO and a defense agreement with Denmark.

@DrewPavlou The people of Cuba need freedom from communism. This is similar to France recognizing Palestine in the middle of negotiations. The EU is an embarrassment to humanity.

Cuba completely supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Trump Derangement Syndrome is suffocating the minds of the entire European political class, from the far-left to the center to the far-right

@saltyreigns 100% agree on this

It’s absurd that this portfolio even exists in the year 2026

@TheEconomist To save you registering. "Orange man bad"

We spoke to diplomats, advisers, scholars, experts and current and former officials in China. Almost all of them see the war in Iran as a grave American error. Register for free to read why: econ.st/416vZDK
