Due to inflation, my 2 cents is now a nickel's worth.


Operation Ajax (TPAJAX by CIA, Boot by MI6) was the 1953 coup that ousted Iran's elected PM Mohammad Mosaddegh. After he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. (threatening UK/US oil profits), the agencies bribed generals/officials, staged fake communist attacks (bombings, threats to clerics), paid mobs for pro-Shah riots, and ran propaganda: planted articles in Iranian papers and fed Western media claiming Mosaddegh was unstable/communist. Declassified CIA docs confirm this restored the Shah and Western oil control.





Ok I have to do this post as things are getting ridiculous, reminding me of the Oct 7 polarization One thing you will notice during this war is idiots trying to cancel me (for engagement, or even more nefarious reasons) It happens in every war: Fanatics and engagement farmers flourish Let me show you a couple of examples. Below you can see a campaign trying to label me as a paid Israeli asset. This happened many times over the years, and kicked off again in January, and hasn’t stopped since Why? Because I was the loudest voice criticizing the regime, calling for their downfall (although I was always against any foreign-led regime change). That led to a massive campaign against me, where even Professor Marandi would no longer join my show after I called out the regime for cracking down brutally on protestors And now, some engagement farmers and/or extreme pro-zionists are trying to label me as an Iranian regime sympathizer, ignoring the fact I’ve criticized the regime for years, even hoping for it to fall. Reason? Because I've criticized aspects of this war. I hope you see the irony And why are they doing this? It’s simple: They want clicks, and they don’t like that I am not an echo chamber who blindly supports one side. And sometimes things get ugly and dangerous. During the Gaza war, my name was added on a Fatwa list (a list of people to harm or kill) in Lebanon due to my criticism of Hezbollah and Hamas. Also, later that same year, an audio recording was leaked where a pro-Zionist fundamentalist was planning to have me travel to Canada in order to have me killed or arrested, due to my criticism of Israel So for the millionth time, here are my stances that I’ve echoed almost daily in my tweets and interviews: - Trump did not attack Iran because Israel told him to. Israel has a lot of influence over U.S. foreign policy (too much influence imo), but not to that extent, especially not with Trump - This war is mainly because of one thing: AI. I’ve explained this many times before, the most important strategic objective right now is for the U.S. to beat China in AI, and AI is all about energy. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most important energy chokepoint, and China heavily depends on it. Controlling/influencing the Strait gives the U.S. massive leverage over China, countering China’s leverage in rare earths (remember what happened last year?) - The Iranian regime is beyond terrible. They put ideology and violent foreign policy above the wellbeing of their people, and the crackdown in January was terrible. I would love to see them gone, but I worry that forcing this militarily could backfire (as it has for over 100 years) and could make Iran into another Syria, Libya, or Iraq. The death and destruction this would lead to is unfathomable, and the people of Iran do not deserve it - Trump’s war on Iran can either end up horribly, or become a massive success for the U.S., the region, and even Iranians. It all depends on what he does over the next few days and weeks, and what his true intentions are for the war - This war will be critical for Lebanon, either the country flourishes with Hezbollah gone, or they descend into civil war if the matter is not handled with care. Factions within Hezbollah have dragged Lebanon into this war, and the group needs to go. Lebanon is better off without Hezbollah. I hope Israel will respect Lebanon’s territorial integrity once they get rid of Hezbollah, so the two countries can peacefully coexist. - I’m not surprised, and no one should be surprised, that Iran is striking all its neighbors. What do you expect from a government/military when you kill their leader, their leadership, bomb the hell out of them and make it clear you want them completely eradicated. They are fighting for their survival, and the weaker and desperate a military/group is, the more they will resort to asymmetric warfare. They are attacking their Gulf neighbors for one simple reason: Pressure Trump to end the war - What Israel did in Gaza is horrific. I am an advocate of a two-state solution, and have always been. Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Iran are justifiable; one country has a military group (Hezbollah) attacking Israel, and the other (Iran) has openly called for the eradication of the State of Israel. What do you expect Israel to do? - Israel’s strikes on Syria yesterday were totally uncalled for. This is not the first time, and I hope it’s the last. Syria needs the chance to rebuild and get their people out of poverty caused by 15 years of a brutal civil war - As someone born a Christian, I see the value of religion, even though I am no longer religious. But conflating religion and politics is not right, not by Iran, not by Israel. Israel has the right to exist as it’s the right thing to do, not because it’s their ‘ancestral homeland given to them by God.’ Iran has the right to criticize Israel, but not call for their destruction and conflate it with Islam. Palestinians have the right to exist as well, for the same reason as Israelis do - As an Australian citizen, I am a believer in our democratic way of life and have always been critical of anyone threatening democracies (as per my coverage of what happened in the EU, Brazil, Pakistan). Ironically, yesterday I was interviewing Eduardo Bolsonaro again about his jailed father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. I’ve fought so hard for democracy in Brazil that they launched a federal investigation into me and Elon two years ago. But this does not mean I support the various interest groups pushing our world into endless wars - I've interviewed Presidents, Prime Ministers and politicians from countries of all sides of every issue, including Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Lebanon, the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australia. Unfortunately I am still trying with Iran - Lastly, I've never received any money from any Government. My entire media team, over 30 employees, is funded by my companies Any other points I’ve missed? Any questions? Now I don’t blame the average reader who sees one of my tweets (we do 200-350 tweets a day, 7 days a week, me and my team) and makes an assumption on my stance, but for the bigger accounts who have been watching my account for months/years, you know better. Have the decency and self-respect to stick to facts. Bringing others down in order to grow is not the way to do business or go about life I won’t call out anyone as I don’t want to give them any attention, and I don’t want to waste my time with childishness. For anyone curious about my personal stance, feel free to ask, I try to read as many comments as I can. Also, I finished an interview with Prime Minister Orban earlier today, and we discussed Iran, in which I explained my stance. Will post it in a bit, I recommend that you watch it to understand my position on the war, which is actually very similar to Orban’s.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺 Something significant just happened in the diplomatic push to end this war. In the last 24 hours, China's foreign minister spoke to Russia's foreign minister. Russia's foreign minister spoke to Iran's foreign minister. All three are now actively engaged around a proposed framework called the Islamabad Accord, with Pakistan as the main go-between for the U.S. and Iran. This is no longer a regional mediation effort. This is the U.S., China and Russia all pulling in the same direction at the same time. Iran has publicly rejected talks repeatedly. But rejecting Pakistan is one thing. Saying no to both Beijing and Moscow simultaneously is a much harder position to hold. China and Russia are Iran's two most important relationships on the planet. Their trade lifelines. Their diplomatic cover at the UN Security Council. Tehran can ignore Washington. But there are countries it can’t afford to ignore. The framework may fail. The mistrust runs deep and the IRGC is not convinced. But for the first time since this war began, the diplomatic architecture looks serious. Watch Islamabad very closely.
