🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran is now saying openly that it could strike American interests first Gharibabadi's framing is that the country's existence is at stake, so waiting to be attacked before defending itself makes no sense, and preemptive action against American interests sits inside Iranian policy. Read that against yesterday's Axios... report that Rubio told regional allies the U.S. is not planning to attack Iran before the midterms. Tehran knows Washington wants out. The larger cost of these six months is that everyone now has the answer to a question nobody could previously settle. Iran can sustain a war against the United States. Moscow saw it. Beijing saw it. Ships getting hit in Hormuz barely makes headlines anymore, and that numbness is its own kind of escalation. Brandon Weichertshow more

Is the war against Iran intended to clip the wings of a rising China? Professor PLO Lumumba argues that the United States seeks regime change in Tehran because it wants a leadership friendly to American interests: one that can help advance U.S. objectives, including preventing China from becoming a superpower.

Iran FM Spox in response to claim that Saudi Arabia is preventing the US from attacking Iran: It is a positive thing that all countries in the region recognize that they will be affected by the future situation in the region. The war of the United States against Iran is a war against the entire region. Over the past 5 months, we have witnessed that the presence of the United States in the region has increased insecurity and instability. It is natural for countries to try to prevent the escalation of insecurity, but experience has shown that nothing deters the enemy except the power and deterrent capability of Iran.

After 30+ years of escalation dominance, there is now outrage that Iran is retaliating against targets that have not been approved by the US. It makes perfect sense that the states hosting the US military that attacked Iranian energy facilities would then have their own energy facilities attacked. Yet, there is an assumption that the US should dictate the terms of the war: when it begins, the participants, acceptable targets for Iran to retaliate against, and most importantly, when and how the war comes to an end. The delusion of escalation dominance also puts Europe at risk - the Europeans believe they can strike Russia (for example the Storm Shaddow attack on Bryansk), yet Russia is not allowed to bring the war to Europe.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 TRITA PARSI: “ISRAEL CANNOT START A WAR WITH IRAN WITHOUT U.S. INVOLVEMENT” Parsi says Israel’s ability to escalate against Iran is limited without U.S. backing, and that Washington’s role should shift from enabling conflict to helping build an inclusive regional peace framework. Trita Parsi: "The Israelis cannot commit that type of a war against Iran without American involvement. The U.S. provides so much of the defense of Israel against Iranian missiles that it needs to be put in place before the war, not after. If this peace deal succeeds, the administration should move forward with a larger peace agreement that would include Iran and essentially everyone."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's paused the bombing and replaced it with economic warfare, but Iran's response is that Washington no longer gets to decide when the shooting starts again. In a major escalation, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says Tehran now considers pre-emptive strikes against U.S interests a legitimate option if it believes its national survival is threatened. His argument is remarkably direct: Why should Iran always wait for America to attack first? If Tehran believes another attack is coming, or that American pressure has become existential, Gharibabadi says Iran can act first. And the timing matters. Rubio is reportedly telling regional counterparts that Washington does not currently intend to launch new strikes on Iran, with Trump's pressure instead running through the naval blockade and Operation Economic Outcast. Military action remains available if Iran attacks first. That's precisely what makes Iran's new position so dangerous. Trump appears to believe he can freeze the military conflict while slowly tightening the economic noose around Tehran. But if the sanctions begin seriously biting, or Tehran concludes Washington is preparing another attack, it could choose to strike American interests first. And after the last war, Iran is considerably less intimidated by that prospect. Then there's Trump's other problem: China. Operation Economic Outcast only works if the countries keeping Iran economically connected can be pressured into compliance. But if Beijing refuses, Trump faces an ugly choice: tolerate a huge hole in the sanctions regime or confront China and risk retaliation involving rare earth minerals that are critical to U.S weapons production. Trump may have decided the military war is paused. Iran is warning him that decision is no longer his alone. Brandon Weichert

🇮🇷🇮🇱 A massive explosion in Beit Shemesh is fueling speculation that Israel may be hiding what actually happened. The idea of Tehran launching a preemptive strike against Israel is now being discussed openly as tensions keep escalating and fears grow that another war may already be inevitable. “Could this be a strike that Iran conducted that was successful? That Israel is now trying to hide and saying, oh, it was just a controlled detonation?” The argument is that admitting a successful Iranian strike would raise serious questions about Israel’s preparedness and deterrence. @AnthonyAgu88102

Iranian Professor Marandi: “The US and Iran could have normal ties, but the US is not pursuing its interests. It is highly influenced by Zionism, and Zionists do not have the interests of the American people at heart. They have the interests of the Israeli regime at heart.” “It is Israel that is the disruptor, and it is Israel that has created so much misery and hardship across our region and so much damage to the US.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 What happens when economic pressure is supposed to prevent escalation, but instead gives Iran an incentive to escalate? That is the dilemma former U.S. diplomat Aaron David Miller sees developing around Iran. Miller argues that if Trump’s sanctions begin seriously damaging Iran’s economy, Tehran may decide that if it is going to suffer anyway, it might as well make the United States pay a price too. That could mean attacks on Gulf states, energy infrastructure and American interests across the region. And the bigger problem is that neither side appears willing to accept the other's terms. Trump wants the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Iran wants a new regional order that prevents another American military campaign against it. Miller's blunt assessment: “I don't see the exit ramp.” There may still be one. Miller suggests allowing the Gulf states to negotiate their own arrangements with Tehran, including a compromise over Hormuz, rather than forcing Washington itself to make the concessions. But that would require Trump to accept something he has so far resisted: that America cannot permanently police the entire region. And there is a much bigger question hanging over all of this. If Russia cannot subdue Ukraine, and the U.S. cannot subdue Iran, what does China conclude about the limits of American power? Miller wonders whether watching these conflicts could make Xi more cautious over Taiwan, or convince him that greater powers can attack smaller ones and still fail to achieve their objectives. The Middle East may therefore be approaching a choice between a negotiated regional order and another round of escalation. And right now, nobody seems particularly sure where the exit ramp is.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 The United States is reportedly preparing for a large-scale military campaign against Iran that would go far beyond a limited retaliatory strike, according to Israeli outlet i24NEWS. The report states that Washington's preparations are not intended as a response to yesterday's attack, but rather as part of a broader, pre-planned military operation with significantly wider objectives. 🔹 According to the report, Israel is increasingly concerned that Iran could launch direct attacks against Israeli territory if upcoming U.S. operations cross what Tehran considers its strategic red lines. The reported preparations point to the possibility of a major escalation that could fundamentally reshape the regional security environment. If Washington moves beyond limited punitive strikes toward a sustained military campaign, Iran would likely face strong pressure to respond against both American and Israeli targets, increasing the risk that the conflict expands into a broader regional war involving multiple fronts and allied proxy forces.

🇮🇷 Iran Has Attacked NO Country in the Region, Baghaei Says Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stressed that Iran has struck no regional state, while drawing a hard line on those that let the U.S. use their soil against Tehran. "The defensive strikes of the Islamic Republic of Iran are solely against the bases, facilities, and positions that America uses to attack Iran, including their logistical and support capabilities." Iran will DEFEND ITSELF: "Any area, any part of any country that is used for aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran will naturally be subject to Iran's defensive measures."

Tucker Carlson on Iran: “The Iraq war was a catastrophe, and Trump was the first major political figure willing to say so. He’s always known it. So the question is: why would he even contemplate another war, this time with Iran? One answer is that Washington may not fully control whether such a war begins. Israel, under Benjamin Netanyahu, could decide to strike Iran on its own, without coordination. If that happened, Iran would almost certainly retaliate against Israel, and could also hit U.S. assets and energy infrastructure in the Gulf. At that point, America would be pulled in automatically. From that perspective, the U.S. may not be seeking a war with Iran at all, but instead trying to restrain the actions of its closest ally and prevent a wider conflict.”

‼️🚨 ASSANGE TRIED TO WARN US: THE PEOPLE IN THAT SYSTEM WANT THE WAR. A war of corrupt media, corrupt culture. After Venezuela, Iran? It is a mass propaganda attack against WikiLeaks, the organization, and the character of my staff and our activities, and so on. But it is not just an attack against us. It is an attack against Iran. It fans the flames to start a war with Iran, and it's coming out, in November. It's being filmed now. Benedict Cumberbatch is playing me. This movie has British involvement, and,and people in Britain should be concerned about it. How does it open? Well, and this has not been previously disclosed before, the opening scene, is in a military complex in Tehran.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump threatened to unleash the “gates of hell” against Iran, then he backed away, which in Washington may have been seen as restraint. According to Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar, Tehran interpreted it very differently. They saw it as proof that Iran’s deterrence had worked, America’s military options were narrowing, and that the longer Iran holds out, the more leverage it gains. Pepe says that transformed Iran’s objectives. Tehran is no longer thinking only about surviving the war, lifting sanctions or securing control over the Strait of Hormuz. According to his sources, forcing the U.S to retreat from West Asia has now become a central strategic goal. Iran began this conflict trying to prevent America from imposing its will. Pepe believes it now sees an opportunity to dismantle the military system that allowed Washington to threaten it in the first place. And Tehran reportedly believes it has found the mechanism. He says Iran has replaced its previous proportional retaliation policy with a new warning: Strike one Iranian energy target, and Iran will strike ten targets across America’s regional network. The message to Gulf governments is brutal. If they help Trump attack Iran, their refineries, pipelines and export facilities will pay the price. Pepe says that threat is one reason regional leaders pushed Trump to stand down. Saudi Arabia, in particular, understands that another major escalation could devastate the infrastructure it depends on to export oil. For decades, American bases were supposed to protect Gulf allies from Iran, but now those bases are putting the countries hosting them at risk. Pepe Escobar

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's immediate objective is simple: get the U.S. out of the Strait of Hormuz without allowing Iran to dictate who passes through it. The problem is that Tehran now sees Hormuz as its leverage. That may be the central problem with Washington's strategy. Economic warfare can avoid a ground invasion and nuclear escalation. But if Iran believes control of Hormuz is essential to its survival, sanctions may only convince Tehran to hold the strait tighter. The war may have moved from missiles to economics. The underlying confrontation hasn't moved an inch. Brandon Weichert

Brodsky is blunt: “Venezuela has become one of Iran’s most dangerous strategic assets. Tehran uses it as a forward base for terror logistics, intelligence operations, and hostile activities targeting the United States and its allies.” He confirms that U.S. authorities, including the FBI, are actively tracking Iranian-linked operatives in Venezuela, warning that the threat stretches far beyond Washington. ⚠️ This is not a foreign policy misstep — it’s a growing global security emergency, according to United Against Nuclear Iran.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 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

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid says Washington is already hitting the limits of what it can sustain. "The United States is not going to be able to fight this war." The escalation trap is real, and one miscalculation could turn a short conflict into something no one can walk away from.
