🇺🇸🇮🇷 America has already lost the Iran war, and the only question left is whether Trump can find a way to call it a victory without anyone noticing. Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute and one of the most consistent antiwar voices in America, has been predicting exactly... this outcome for years, and his analysis is surgical: Just as Bush, Obama, and Trump refused to admit defeat in Afghanistan for two decades and left Biden holding the bag, Trump is now trapped in the same problematic political logic. Admitting the loss makes it "his fault," while denying it prolongs the catastrophe. "The credibility question is the last refuge of a scoundrel, and that's all they've got left..." On the burgeoning Turkey-Saudi-Pakistan pact: Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and whether that alliance is warning Yemen, Israel, Iran, or America, nobody outside that room really knows. On whether a more devastating military campaign is theoretically possible: only if Trump is willing to lose thousands of men and aircraft, get B-52s over Tehran, and accept mass casualties, but Horton feels he has neither the political capital nor the will to do it. The Ron Paul answer, which Horton has argued for decades: just quit, admit the loss, and come home... hell, approval ratings would probably go up. No amount of think tank strategists can "fix" this before the inevitable exit. "There is no such thing as that. Just call all this off." Thanks for coming on, Scott Hortonshow more

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The simplest path out of this war is the one nobody in Washington wants to say out loud: just leave. Scott Horton says Trump could quit right now, call it whatever he wants, fly home, and the entire burden shifts to Iran to figure out how they get along with the rest of Eurasia. America has no real stake in Middle East empire. No base, no ally, no regional position lost there actually affects the American people back home. "Fly home. Sail home. March home. That's it. Get the hell out of there." Scott Horton

🇮🇷🇺🇸: Is this a Joke? Trump has LOST IT Trump thinks he helped the Iranian people in Iran when he destroyed $270 BILLION in infrastructure, businesses, residential housing, hospitals, and more? Not to mention the war increasing inflation and further increasing prices in an economy strangled by sanctions. The cherry on top is PROOF the monarchists were a tool to manufacture consent for his destruction campaign. He did help Iran in one way. The world now knows it is a military super power and has FULL CONTROL over the Strait of Hormuz, or as he calls it the Strait of Iran

🇮🇷🇵🇰 One person on earth can call Trump and walk into Tehran as a brother, and that man is from Pakistan. Pepe Escobar just laid it all out. "Munir is probably the only person on the planet as we speak at the moment, who can pick up the phone and talk to Trump anytime he wants and at the same time received as a brother in Tehran." The fog of war is intergalactic. And this is the real game being played. Pepe Escobar

SCOTT RITTER GOES NUCLEAR: “Iran Did NOT Lose, The United States LOST This War” “Iran has all the leverage. The US has none. No military, economic, or political power to force them into anything.” “Trump is running political theater because he suffers from malignant narcissistic personality disorder. He wants a face-saving deal Iran will never give him.” - No US troops seizing Iranian nuclear sites (pure delusion) - Iran keeps control of the Strait of Hormuz, their real “nuclear weapon” - They already cut deals with Oman and the world is moving on without America Ritter just said what the regime won’t admit: America got played and has zero cards left.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The regional order just collapsed, and half the media hasn't noticed yet. Historian and Middle East analyst Scott Horton says depending on your media silo, you might have no idea how much just changed. The security architecture that organized the Gulf for decades has cracked, and what replaces it is anyone's guess, a point Horton concedes openly even as he tracks where the pieces are falling. "Iran always wins." The tell to watch for is simple. The Gulf states may soon be sending diplomats to Tehran instead of F-16 purchase orders to Washington. Scott Horton

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is fighting the Fed, Congress, and the press all at once, while Iran answers to nobody but itself. Security analyst Wajahat S. Khan says the pressure in this standoff runs entirely one way, and Tehran knows it. The Iranian leadership faces no midterms, no hostile media cycle, and no opposition party waiting for a stumble. "The Iranians know that the American setup is very different, and Trump has over promised." And here's the thing: Iran runs on cash, two presidents have already paid them, and the deal math has existed for months. Someone in Washington just has to do it. Wajahat S. Khan

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A deal on the Strait of Hormuz is close, and Trump is about to declare "victory" in a war he did not win. Elijah Magnier, veteran war correspondent who has covered conflicts across the Middle East for decades, has a blunt assessment of where this ends: Iran will have TOTAL control of the world's most critical oil chokepoint, a reality that did not exist before February 28th. Trump hasn't achieved regime change or a nuclear deal, Hormuz is now formally under Iranian supervision, and the Gulf states are being forced to recognize Iran as the dominant regional power, whether they like it or not On why Iran will not make it easy: "This is the last opportunity, and because it is the last opportunity, Iran is not going to step back on lifting all the sanctions and having the money back" On Lebanon, he believes only a finalized Iran deal gives Tehran the leverage to truly force Israel into a genuine Lebanon ceasefire. Neither of us feel this war will restart, as Trump NEEDS a way out of this, even if the victory he sells bears no resemblance to the one he promised. Pleasure as always, Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺

Trump is losing the Iran War that he started for Israel. CENTCOM: Adm. Brad Cooper said that Iranian forces have opened fire on U.S. warships and commercial vessels today. Iran has claimed two missiles successfully struck US war ship in the Strait Of Hormuz just Hours After Trump Ordered US Ships To Enter! U.S. forces have returned fire and destroyed several Iranian small boats. He declined to say whether the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is over. As a Trump supporter since day one, my moral is at an all-time low during Trump's second term. There is no end in sight to this war which looks like a war against the The American people. Citizens are being bled dry at the gas pump and grocery store. Housing prices, property taxes and homeowners insurance are crushing American families. Illegal aliens are competing for homes driving up rent and housing prices. After the Iraq War and lies about WMD's, it is shocking to me that anyone actually believes that Iran was 2 weeks away from launching a nuclear attack on Israel as the Trump administration claimed. Keep in mind this was after Trump claimed to have utterly destroyed Iran's decades old nuclear program in the 12 Day War that they are claiming has been going on for 47 years. We have lost this unnecessary war of aggression. The only reason the war is continuing is because Netanyahu want's it to and Trump is trying desperately to save face as American soldiers die and taxpayer dollars are wasted. The National Debt is now higher than the GPD of America, thanks to Trump and the Republicans, spending even more than the Democrats. Trump was supposed to reign in wasteful spending, instead he told the Democrats to hold his beer as he spent us into poverty. Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a record high of 62%! Republicans are even less popular than Trump. Trump's plummeting approval rating basically ensures the Democrats will win big in the Midterms. It appears that Trump was always a Deep State operative. He played the part of a populist and now that he doesn't need us, he has revealed his true colors. MAGA is now MIGA and he was never America First. Am I wrong?

🎥 America Must Immediately Withdraw from the “Failed Israeli War on Iran” by Declaring Victory: Hold a Victory Parade for Trump and Award Him a Medal to End This Catastrophe, Which Constitutes a Betrayal of America👇👇 👈Interview by Wally Rashid with Scott Horton — a prominent libertarian, fierce opponent of American military intervention in the affairs of other nations, editor-in-chief of director of the Libertarian Institute, and host of the Scott Horton Show. He is the author of books such as “Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan.” ✅ 1. Central Claim 1.1. The current war with Iran is a war “for Israel” that has driven America into an absolute impasse; Israel, through pressure, flattery, and lobbying, has dragged Trump into this reckless adventure, and now America finds itself in a position where it can neither achieve victory nor withdraw without incurring heavy costs. 1.2. American military supremacy in the Middle East (dating back to Franklin Roosevelt and the Carter Doctrine of 1980) has ended forever; Iran is now the dominant regional power, and this is the direct result of America’s own policies (especially the invasions of Iraq and Syria). 1.3. The simplest and most logical solution: America must immediately declare the war a “victory,” award Trump a medal, hold a victory parade, and withdraw from the region once and for all. Any other approach will only produce greater catastrophe. ✅ 2. Main Arguments (in detail) 2.1. The “Quit and Leave” Argument - Continuing the war serves no purpose; Iran poses no real threat to America, and the American people have no interest in controlling the Persian Gulf. - The burden of responsibility should be placed on Iran to manage its relations with the rest of Eurasia. The special interests (the Israel lobby) run directly counter to the wishes of the American majority. - The bluff of American military superiority has been called; Iran, through strategic patience and asymmetric warfare, has proven that it emerges stronger even after extensive bombing campaigns. 2.2. The Argument of Netanyahu’s Grip on Trump (Death Grip + Flattery) - Netanyahu convinced Trump through masterful flattery (comparing him to “Abraham” rather than Lincoln, telling him he would be the savior of the Jewish people and the greatest leader in history). - Netanyahu had promised Trump an “easy job,” but now that it has proven impossible, he has shifted his own problem onto America. - This influence goes far beyond ordinary politics; Netanyahu has become the real decision-maker in the war and holds Trump in a death grip. 2.3. The Argument “Tucker Was Right” (Who Actually Dragged Trump into War) - The main pressure came from outside the government: Netanyahu, Mark Levin, Miriam Adelson, and the Israel lobby. - Domestic hawks such as Marco Rubio or Pete Hegseth played no leading role; this war is the product of foreign lobbying, not domestic American politics. 2.4. The Argument of Israel’s Failure to Overthrow the Iranian Regime - Israel has failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, overthrow the regime, or even disable its missile arsenal. - All previous attacks (April 2024, July 2024, June 2025, and the joint operation in February) have only made Iran stronger. - Regime change in Iran through ordinary means is impossible (even the 1953 coup cannot be repeated). 2.5. Subsidiary Historical and Forward-Looking Arguments - Naftali Bennett’s role in the Qana massacre (1996) and its connection to 9/11 (bin Laden explicitly referenced it). - The possibility of large-scale Israeli bombing of the West Bank as a “demographic solution” (expelling Palestinians). - The spectrum of Israeli politics ranges “from Dick Cheney to Hitler”; an absolute right-wing consensus exists there. - European Union sanctions (31% of Israel’s trade) are the strongest weapon against Netanyahu — the one he fears most. ✅ 3. Concrete Evidence and Examples (in detail) 3.1. Practical Evidence of Military Failure - Iran has preserved all its missiles, key infrastructure, and naval/air forces, deliberately avoiding direct engagement. - The Strait of Hormuz remains uncontrolled, and American operations have been more performative than substantive victories. - After thousands of bombings, the Supreme Leader has been killed and military elites targeted, yet the regime has emerged stronger than before. 3.2. Historical and Psychological Evidence - Netanyahu has repeated the same “a few weeks away from the bomb” claim for years; this time too, it was nothing but wishful thinking and fantasy. - Netanyahu’s flattery (Abraham not Lincoln, savior of the Jewish people) perfectly matched Trump’s personality and proved effective. - The 9/11 and Qana massacre example by Bennett: bin Laden explicitly cited it, and Muhammad Atta was influenced by it. 3.3. Economic-Political Evidence - Potential European Union sanctions could paralyze 31% of Israel’s trade and destroy its economy. - The American people derive no benefit from continued military presence in the Middle East; this serves only narrow special interests. - Historical examples: the invasions of Iraq and Syria directly strengthened Iran (handing Baghdad over to Iran’s allies). ✅ 4. Conclusions 4.1. American foreign policy lacks strategic depth and has become completely captive to foreign lobbying (Israel); this war has not only strengthened Iran but has permanently ended America’s historical dominance in the region. 4.2. Continuing the war will only create a deeper quagmire for America, deplete its weapons stockpiles, and reduce its ability to contain its main rivals (China and Russia). 4.3. The only logical and moral path: complete and immediate withdrawal. Any policy other than this is a betrayal of America’s real interests and the continuation of the catastrophe that Scott Horton calls “the war for Israel.” 4.4. Scott Horton emphasizes: “This war was unnecessary, its solution is very simple but unattractive to politicians; just quit and leave.” This philosophical-analytical examination demonstrates that in real politics, “non-intervention” is sometimes not only the wisest course but the sole ethical and strategic option. The attempt to destroy an independent country through foreign lobbying not only fails but produces the exact opposite result and weakens America’s own power.

Israeli-British Historian Prof. Avi Shlaim: ‘The Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is one of the most UNJUSTIFIED, SENSELESS and FOOLISH wars of the 21st century. There was absolutely no reason to go to war. This is an unlawful war. There was no Security Council resolution that mandated a war on Iran. There was no imminent threat from Iran to either Israel or America. So it was a decision taken by these two leaders to launch an attack on Iran. And the dominant personality here is Netanyahu. He’s the junior partner, but he’s the real architect of this war. He succeeded in dragging America into the war on Iran. And remember that Netanyahu was first elected as prime minister in 1996. For the last 30 years, Netanyahu has been demonising Iran and calling for a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. But no American president until Trump was stupid enough to fall for it. Now, Trump went along with this plan by Netanyahu, and we have seen the consequences. It’s been a war that has caused immense damage and destruction, inflicted a lot of suffering on civilians, and not just in Iran, but on Lebanon as well. And at the same time, Israel continues the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. So what we are seeing is an Israeli success in dragging America into a war which is damaging to America, damaging to America’s Gulf allies, hugely damaging to the international economy, and undermines international law.’ -Prof. Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

This is how Trump is using Pakistan as a puppet to fulfil his wishes. When every ally of the USA and the entire NATO left Trump alone in this war because of his stupidity and arrogance, Trump picked Pakistan to use as a puppet. Pakistan has no sovereignty left; it does what the USA asks it to do, evident from their PM posting a tweet drafted in Washington!

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Israel is preparing to go to war with Iran alone, and America has run out of the cards to stop it... Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance lays out the military reality that has zero diplomatic cushion: America has reached the absolute limits of both air and sea power against Iran, the naval campaign was an afterthought from Day 1, and the political will to absorb casualties does not exist for this White House. "There was NEVER a strategy in this war. Trump thought this war was going to last a matter of days..." Iran's demands, meanwhile, are maximalist: fees 500x higher than any other strait, reparations for two wars, all sanctions lifted, U.S. forces out of the region, and Gaza. Nance says that's exactly what a side that knows it has America over a barrel looks like. As far as Israel is concerned, the diesel subs are out of port, Netanyahu personally visited the Dimona nuclear facility, and Iran already fired ballistic missiles at villages near Dimona as a DIRECT warning. ANY Israeli nuclear strike would trigger the largest global disarmament campaign in history... and make Israel a permanent pariah, if it isn't already one. Netanyahu is checking whether the keys still work... That should concern all of us. As always, great convo with Malcolm Nance

Netanyahu is checking whether the keys still work... That should concern all of us. As always, great convo with Malcolm Nance

Pakistan just signed a collective defense agreement with Kuwait, and Qatar is likely next. Pravin Sawhney, one of India's most respected defense analysts, has been tracking this shift since Day 1 of the war, and his read is sobering: Pakistan is quietly becoming the security anchor of the entire Gulf, filling the vacuum the U.S. is leaving behind, with Saudi, Kuwait and soon Qatar all seeking the same arrangement. Essentially, Article 5 for the Middle East: an attack on them is an attack on Pakistan On the MOU: "This is a consequence of war, a war that Iran has won, and I expect the Iranians to go further, to get more rigid, to bring in Gaza, to bring in Yemen." On the House bill merging U.S. and Israeli military command in the theater: "What it means is that as far as West Asia is concerned, the commander in chief of CENTCOM will be the PM of Israel and not POTUS." On where both wars end: "There is no way that either Russia or Iran will lose, it will be a prolonged war, but the sufferers will be the American empire and the EU." A fascinating perspective from someone who has been right about this conflict at every turn. Thanks for coming on again, Pravin Sawhney

The biggest battle in the Middle East isn't Israel vs Iran anymore; it's Trump vs Netanyahu Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert thinks their relationship isn’t just under strain; it may be breaking because the U.S. and Israel no longer want the same thing. Trump wants the Iran war over; he wants Hormuz open, oil prices down, markets calm, and America out of another Middle East disaster before it consumes his presidency. Netanyahu doesn’t have that luxury. Ehud argues Netanyahu still sees Iran as unfinished business, has his own political needs, and is leading a coalition packed with hardliners who believe the answer to every problem is more force, more escalation, and more war. He even believes Trump may have created the nuclear problem he now claims to be solving. According to Ehud, when Trump tore up Obama’s Iran deal, Israel hadn't found evidence that Iran was violating it. Without the deal in place, Iran accelerated enrichment, and the crisis escalated. After bombing them, the region nearly blew wide open, and now Washington is back trying to negotiate another deal with Tehran. Only this time, Iran is stronger, the price is higher, and the stakes are worse. Olmert’s warning is simple: military power can buy time, but it cannot replace a political strategy. That applies to Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and Israel’s future relationship with America. Because if Trump wants the war to end while Netanyahu’s coalition still wants escalation, then the question is whether they are still fighting for the same future. And if they are not, this may be the beginning of the biggest U.S-Israel rupture in decades.

Senator Jon Ossoff on Iran War: This is a disaster for American foreign policy, for the American economy, for American national security, and for the Trump presidency. I mean, folks, remember that it was on day one of this war that Donald Trump assured us it was running ahead of schedule. And then he lied and lied and lied and declared victory daily, weekly, for weeks. Victory always, either imminent or just around the corner or already secured. And now he is humiliated by the failure of his foreign policy in the Middle East. That has made America less safe. That has cost Americans tens of billions of dollars. That has expended munitions and military equipment. It will take years for us to replace. That has diminished our standing in the world. It will take years to rebuild from this foreign policy failure.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 THE MULLAHS JUST TOLD ON THEMSELVES. Iran has been screaming "peaceful nuclear energy" for two decades. But the moment Trump put a real deal on the table, offering low-grade enriched uranium for civilian power, they flinched. You don't flinch if you have nothing to hide. Low-enriched uranium runs your power grid. High-enriched uranium builds a bomb. Iran wants to keep the high-grade stuff. That tells you everything about what they were building. This is not a nuclear energy program. It never was. It's a weapons program wrapped in diplomatic language and stalled negotiations. Reagan said trust but verify. Trump said verify or walk. Iran's response to both is the same: delay, deflect, and enrich. The regime isn't protecting energy infrastructure. They're protecting a warhead they haven't finished yet. Every day the media calls this a "diplomatic standoff" is a day they're covering for a government that has publicly called for the destruction of Israel and death to America. Call it what it is. Iran wants the bomb. They always did. And they just admitted it by refusing the one deal that would only work if their intentions were clean. The mask is off. The question now is whether the world has the spine to act like it.
