Starting the day off with Malcolm Nance

 #Iran 


Opening: Casualty counts
Contradictions in presser from President #StableGenius. Mental Illness as foreign policy
Iran leadership changes
President call to CBS and markets
The President wants to take over the Strait of Hormuz. DUMB IDEA
Re Iran attacks Gulf countries: how did anyone NOT think that would happen?
Iran is probably building Shaheed drones everywhere, after earlier Israeli hits
Israel wants to cut all capacity to produce oil. The US administration wants to profit.
Strikes on Tech cos, Oil locations in Bahrain, UAE
evolution of drones and ability to get through air defense systems
who wants to escort what through the Strait of Hormuz.










Ret. Army General Wilkerson "We have committed more war crimes in the last few days than ever....This is a real serious problem for American."






War on Iran is a Holy War?!?!?

200 complaints from across the armed forces to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation at the launch of US military action.

Command instruction 

"all part of God's divine plan...President Trump has been anointed to light the signal fire ..armageddon..return of Christ to earth...



To be fair, this BS was getting ROASTED on X/Twitter. Keep roasting.


The WAR as of 3 9: Nuclear issues, family and otherwise.

#Iran #NavalWarfare 


RantWoman is making a practice of presenting multiple points of view, without comment about whether specific points are credible.


Basic points:

There are offramps but lots of voices on all sides polarized.

US resources are stretched.

US is not making friends expecting Gulf countries to keep taking Iranianhits.

Who is killing ciilian? Everyone is killing civilians.

Iran's leader has n theological credentials but does have ties to IRGC. 








More on the shift in location, "tactical redeployment" of the USS Abraham Lincoln.
REALLY interesting insights.

Comments about the new Iran leader.




DW Interviews spokeman from Iranian Foreign Ministry
"Infiltrators from US or Israel turned protests violent."
second time in nine months that Iran is attacked in the middle of negotiations.


Stop normalizing threats to assassinate duly elected leaders. History


Meidas Touch
President #StableGenius calls CBS reporter and mumbles things that halted the stick market drop.
Putin offers to mediate and the President wants to relax sanctions in return.
Ben Meiselas takes apart administration speeches.




Pyotr Kurzin
Mujtaba Khamanei has no theological credentials but has deep ties to IRGC
Agreement with other sources about regime survival succession plan and decentralization of command and control
Expecting Kurds to bring on regime change throughout the country is not realistic 


TYT Weighs in
Israel in FAFO mode?


From a few days ago


From Newsweek
Bolton speaks truth about Venezuela
Bolton thinks GCC countries taking Iranian hits and feeling undefended by US will make the countries more on the US side. 
Re IraQ: I am not a believer in nation-building.
No. He cannot imaging Rumsfeld giving a presser like Hegseth. "It's juvenile."


From Times of India
competine narratives reported

Mandatory evacuation of nonessential personnel from US Embassy in Saudi Arabia
Similar attacks in other Gulf countries



Megyn Kelly quotes Charlie Kirk on Iran
