🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has cracked the code to win the war... and the code is patience. Brandon Weichert laid out the cold logic. Iran doesn't need to reopen the strait or sign anything. It just has to keep that waterway half-shut and let the clock run. Within 60 days, his...

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Iran is springing an escalation trap built to make sure America never threatens it again. Geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert says the strikes landing in Kuwait and Egypt point the same direction whether Iran fired them or someone staged them to look that way. American stockpiles keep draining while Tehran keeps widening the map, and that's the design: push this war somewhere Washington can't contain, and end it on terms that leave the regime untouchable.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi argued that Iran's decision to shut the Strait of Hormuz has placed US President Donald Trump before a defining choice. "Is he going to choose the United States? Or is he going to choose the Israeli regime?" Marandi asked, arguing that Trump now has "no third choice" between protecting the US economy or forcing "Israel" to halt its aggression and ceasefire violations in Lebanon. He said Iran briefly reopened the Strait to demonstrate that it sought an end to the war and expected the US to honor its commitments, but after "they didn't act," Tehran closed it again. Marandi stressed that Iran "is dead serious," insisting it will not compromise until the Israeli occupation ends its war, withdraws from Lebanon, and fully implements the agreement, warning that "Iran has even implied that if this is not enough; they are willing to go further... It will strike 'Israel'." Seyed Mohammad Marandi #Iran #WarOnIran #UnitedStates #Lebanon #AlMayadeen

Trump said Israel wasn't going to strike Iran. Israel struck Iran anyway. Was Trump lying, or has Netanyahu made it clear that even the President of the United States doesn't get the final say? For all the talk of Iran being weakened, it is Israel and Washington that increasingly look stupid and unable to dictate events. Tehran has emerged with greater power and leverage than before the war, and now Trump appears eager for a deal that Israel seems determined to sabotage.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran may be transforming a strategic victory into a catastrophic miscalculation. Geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert says that for weeks, Iran had gained the upper hand. America's long-range missile stockpiles were running low, its Gulf posture had become more vulnerable, regional states wanted the fighting to stop, and Tehran had the leverage. Now, Brandon thinks Iran may be pushing that leverage too far. During the interview, reports emerged that Iranian lawmakers were preparing legislation that would reportedly: - Ban U.S and Israeli vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. - Block cargo linked to Israel. - Demand compensation from countries that supported the war. - And impose penalties of up to 20% of the cargo value on violators. At the same time, reports suggested Iran was seeking transit fees of between 5% and 7% of each cargo's value. If those numbers hold, Brandon believes the entire diplomatic process could collapse. Not because Iran lacks leverage, but because it may be asking for more than the world is prepared to accept. His concern isn't Washington, it's everyone else. Countries that quietly shifted toward Iran after the war may begin asking whether Tehran is now overplaying its hand. And if that happens, Trump gets exactly what he needs. A political justification to walk away from negotiations, argue that Iran was never serious about peace, and escalate the war. Brandon believes that changes everything. Because the fastest way to lose a winning position is convincing your opponent they have nothing left to lose. Brandon Weichert

🇺🇸 The U.S. can force Israel to stop in Lebanon. The question is whether Trump has the nerve. Alexander Christoforou says there's no doubt Washington holds the leverage to make Israel stand down in Lebanon. The real uncertainty is whether the Trump administration has the political courage to use it. His worry is that the White House may simply be running out the clock, stalling the negotiations until after the midterms. And there could be a cold strategic logic to the delay. Christoforou suggests the US may need the time to rebuild its weapon stockpiles and petroleum reserves, a process that could stretch on for years. The catch is that Iran gets to use that very same window to keep strengthening its own hand. Alex Christoforou

The Iran deal is not just about Iran — one of the big points is Lebanon. Iran war isn’t really over if Israel keeps bombing Lebanon — Trump knows it, also he wants out of it ASAP. But Netanyahu thinks that decision is his and that's a real danger. If Israel hits Beirut, Iran will almost certainly answer — and then Washington has to decide whether it gets dragged right back into the war Trump is trying to escape.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may be making the biggest strategic miscalculation of the war. Geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert believes the White House is assuming one overwhelming show of force will push Iran back to the negotiating table. He thinks the opposite will happen. According to reports discussed in the interview, Washington is weighing a large-scale campaign targeting not only military sites, but potentially Iran's energy infrastructure as well. Brandon believes the logic is simple. Hit Iran hard enough, demonstrate overwhelming American power, then negotiate from a position of strength. He doesn't think Tehran sees it that way. His argument is that Washington is treating Iran like a conventional state that responds primarily to military pressure. Iran, he says, defines legitimacy through resistance. The harder it's hit, the harder it becomes politically for Tehran to compromise. That's why Brandon believes a major U.S. campaign wouldn't be the final round. It would simply be the start of the next one. The U.S. may be able to destroy what it can find. But it can never be certain it found everything. Meanwhile, Iran only needs to keep enough capability intact to continue imposing costs. Brandon believes that asymmetry favors Tehran over time. If Iran refuses to bend, what started as escalation could well become an open-ended war neither side knows how to end. Brandon Weichert

Israel says it is locked and loaded to restart the war with Iran, stating that Iran has a plan to blow up their entire country. Israel says it already has the targets locked and is now waiting for a green light from the United States. Israel says it will bring Iran back to the Stone Age and destroy them once and for all.

Told BBC that some voices in Iran fear that Trump just wants a deal to pacify the markets ahead of the midterms, but that he will restart the war after November. I am unconvinced. If Trump had a military option, he would use it now to WIN the war and use that win for the midterms. But the bottom line is: He doesn't have a winning military option with Iran.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 The territory Israel seized in southern Lebanon was never meant to be returned. Brandon Weichert explains why the ceasefire lines are already irrelevant. "They're not giving up the core territories that they've captured, either in Lebanon, in Syria, or in the Gaza Strip." And Iran is about to make everyone pay for it. Brandon Weichert

Let me explain why Iran and the US are trading shots again. Under the MOU, Iran was to control the Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor for 60 days. Trump instead quietly backed a second route along Oman's coast, bypassing Iran's control. Tehran fired warning shots at a vessel using the new corridor. The US used that as justification to resume bombing Iran. There's no way to spin this as Iran being the side that broke the ceasefire.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran denies Trump's claims that a US deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could happen TODAY. Iran's FM Esmaeil Baqaei says the current negotiations are only between Iran and Oman, no US, and are not about immediately reopening the waterway. Iran says Hormuz will remain closed until the US ends its military threats and changes its behavior. Earlier, Axios reported that the US, Iran and Oman were nearing a temporary 60-day agreement that would reopen the Strait on Wednesday. This directly contradicts Trump’s claim that a deal “could happen tomorrow or the next day.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has tried military force and economic strangulation against Iran; now Tehran has concluded that pressure simply does not work Iran has taken enormous punishment. Its economy is reeling, inflation is brutal, and its military has absorbed repeated strikes. But six months into the war, the regime is still standing, and crucially, Iran can still disrupt the Strait of Hormuz. Middle East scholar Joshua Landis believes that has fundamentally changed Tehran's calculation. Washington has moved from military force to its new “Economic D-Day,” but the regional cooperation needed to make that strategy truly devastating isn't materialising. Iraq, Turkey, the UAE and Qatar still have powerful incentives to trade with Iran. Oman is negotiating with Tehran. Pakistan and Qatar are talking to the Iranians. These countries don't want another regional war or a permanently closed Persian Gulf, and Iran knows it. Joshua says Tehran increasingly believes America has already played its strongest cards, which makes surrender even less attractive. Iranian leaders now believe that if they cave to Trump's demands, America and Israel will simply return once Iran has recovered and hit it again. In Joshua's words, Iran fears becoming another Gaza, Lebanon or Syria; periodically attacked to keep it permanently weak. So Tehran has reached the opposite conclusion: It has to make resisting Iran more painful than living with it. Tehran may finally have learned the difference between America having the power to hurt it, and having the power to make it surrender. Joshua Landis Brandon Weichert

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The MOU hands Iran sole control of who passes through Hormuz, and by that reading it's the U.S., not Iran, breaching the deal. Larry Johnson kept pulling it back to the exact wording. Clause 5 says Iran, and only Iran, makes the arrangements for safe passage. Not Iran and Oman, not Iran and Washington. So when Iran stops a ship that skipped its protocol and ran the Omani route, he argues, Iran is enforcing the agreement, and the U.S. strikes answering those stops are the real violation. He read the rest of the scorecard the same way. Sanctions waivers, clause ten, already issued. But the frozen assets, the troop drawdown, the Lebanon clause, all unmet. The delegation heading to Doha isn't there to negotiate, in his telling, but to hold Washington to what it already signed. On the proxy fronts, he splashed cold water on the easy read of Yemen: that mobilization isn't Saudis massing on the Houthis, it's Saudis against the Emiratis' own faction, and nobody who watched 18 months of failed US strikes thinks the Houthis can be dislodged from Bab el-Mandeb. His verdict on the weekend stuck with me. After all the chest-thumping, the U.S. stood down rather than answer Iran's last strike. To Larry, that silence says everything about who actually holds the leverage. SonofNewAmericanRevolution
