“I didn’t have to fire a missile.” - President Obama on Iran. That’s right, Mr. President. You didn’t. Not when Iran-backed militias in Iraq killed American service persons there. Not as the IRGC deepened ties with the Taliban (but also al-Qaeda and the Haqqani network) as it killed Americans in Afghanistan. Not when the IRGC-QF plotted to kill the Saudi Ambassador to Washington in a Georgetown restaurant via Mexican drug cartels Not as Iran began enriching uranium to 20 percent purity, which is highly enriched. Not as Iran began enriching uranium in centrifuges in its highly fortified underground Fordow facility for the first time. Not as Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz. Not as IRGC-Navy fast attack craft routinely harassed American Navy vessels and commercial traffic in and around the Persian Gulf. Not as Iran tested medium range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear payloads with genocidal phrases against Israel written in Hebrew. Not as Iran continued to work on space launch vehicles with the ultimate goal of developing longer-range strike platforms that could one day threaten the European continent and the US homeland. Not as Iran beefed up its drone program. Not as the regime successfully co-opted the Houthis in Yemen and began to provide them with material support as the group entered the Axis of Resistance. Not as the Islamic Republic backed Assad’s slaughter of Syrians to the hilt and intervened decisively, later along with Russia, in that theater and created a security and humanitarian catastrophe I the Middle East and refugee crises that has thrown a massive curveball into European politics and demographics. And last but certainly not least, not as Iranians whose calls for support you ignored during the Green Movement were killed, arrested, beaten, and tortured.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack: Türkiye is a NATO ally, and Israel is a NATO ally. Navigating between these two NATO allies is like navigating between two teenage kids that grew up next to each other that all of a sudden end up in a fight. Source: @MarioNawfal

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

🟢دیپلماسی فشرده میان ایران و میانجیگران رسمی تهران-واشنگتن برای خروج مذاکرات خاتمه جنگ از بن‌بست، ادامه دارد. 🟢ناگفته پیداست که تداوم دیپلماسی، تناقضی با ضرورت آمادگی ۱۰۰ % برای دفاع ندارد.

So I went on @piersmorgan's show yesterday. I like his show, but I have declined many previous invitations because I don't think it's a fit for me. I agreed yesterday, hoping the other panelists would be willing to engage in a real debate for at least a few minutes. Boy, was I overestimating him :) Hanson immediately starts throwing personal attacks and lies at me, forcing me to interrupt him in an attempt to bring the conversation back to factual matters. But if someone doesn't have enough dignity and self-respect to avoid embarrassing himself by sinking this low, you can't expect them to respect the rules of debate either. To Piers' defense, he did step in and made many of the substantive points I planned to make. Anyways, here's yet another attempt by warmongers to disqualify me through slanderous attacks rather than address the actual substance of my argument. I would say enjoy, but not sure you will :)
