🎥 Jeremy Scahill on Israel’s “ceasefire violations” On the Drop Site Livestream, Jeremy Scahill noted that Israel is already violating Trump’s so-called “magnificent peace plan” — refusing to uphold terms on aid and continuing airstrikes. “We’re talking about life essentials Israel has systematically prevented from reaching Gaza,” he explained. Even Trump officials, he pointed out, admit Hamas hasn’t broken the deal — “This is entirely on Israel.” jeremy scahill | Drop Site

“This won’t end in surrender.” Iranian-American analyst Negar Mortazavi tells Jeremy Scahill that Iranians will not capitulate to Trump’s maximalist demands. “Iranian officials are willing to die in assassination after assassination, and not surrender,” Mortazavi said. She also said that in order for the Trump administration to make a deal with Iran, the U.S. will need to make some concessions. jeremy scahill | Negar Mortazavi نگار مرتضوی

"Trump is fabricating a victory narrative because he waged a war based on lies and was fought to a standstill by a country that said openly, 'we're going to light up the Middle East." Drop Site co-founder Jeremy Scahill tells Yalda Hakim it is President Trump who has been "erratic" and unclear with his messaging throughout the Iran War. 🔗

⭕️ New: Jeremy Scahill reports that Iran had finalized its response to a U.S. memorandum proposal but paused submitting it yesterday after U.S. strikes, which they noted as a ceasefire violation. Pakistan, the main mediator, was alarmed and worked urgently to prevent further escalation. Scahill also says Trump is overstating Iran’s desperation for a deal and that U.S. claims about Iran’s military degradation have been misleading. 🎥 via Breaking Points (Krystal Ball, Emily Jashinsky, Mac with Drop Site’s jeremy scahill)

⚡️🎥 U.S.-Iran Negotiations | Latest from Drop Site News Drop Site’s jeremy scahill reports that the U.S. is pushing a narrative that a deal with Iran is close to agreement while simultaneously escalating threats of military action. Trump is using media leaks and public threats to pressure Tehran after failing to secure Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” Scahill reports. While Iranian officials say they remain fully engaged in diplomacy, they are also preparing for a possible resumption of the war. Iranian officials point to a pattern in the past year in which earlier rounds of negotiations were followed by major U.S.-Israeli bombing campaigns, fueling deep skepticism inside Tehran over Washington’s intentions.

🎥 "Iran has no intention of capitulating,” reports Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill on Democracy Now! He said Iran’s view is that it’s “Trump who has the clock, with sweat increasingly pouring down his face.” Scahill reported that a senior Iranian official told him the most likely long-term scenario is not a major deal but a continued low-intensity tension — with Iran believing time is on its side. Scahill also says Israel has "thoroughly contaminated" US intelligence on Iran, feeding the Trump administration "completely cooked" assessments that “regime change” would be easy. jeremy scahill | Democracy Now!

🎥 Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill discuss how Trump’s mounting domestic crises intersect with the U.S. escalation toward Iran — and how Tehran is signaling that any attack could trigger a wider regional war. They note Trump’s recent domestic troubles, from the ICE killing in Minnesota to renewed fallout from the Epstein files, and Grim says people close to Trump see foreign confrontation as a political release valve. Citing a new Amwaj Media report based on information from Tehran insiders, Grim outlines a shift in Iranian strategy. For years, Iran has pursued calibrated, pre-announced retaliation to de-escalate tensions. Iranian officials now believe that approach backfired, inviting more U.S. and Israeli strikes by signaling restraint. The new thinking, Grim and Scahill note, is to signal that any attack would lead to an Iranian response that would spiral into a wider, prolonged, regional conflict — not the short, choreographed strikes Trump prefers and can claim to both launch and end. University of Tehran professor Foad Izadi previously told Drop Site that Tehran views the killing of 500 U.S. troops as a threshold retaliatory response to any U.S. attack.

🎥 WATCH | Jeremy Scahill reports that Trump’s indefinite “ceasefire extension” is being repackaged by the White House as a response to supposed chaos in Tehran, after Iran held firm on refusing talks unless the U.S. lifted its blockade on Iranian ports. Scahill says Iranian officials told him the decision was made at the highest levels of power and that White House claims of internal disarray, house arrests, or an IRGC takeover of diplomacy are “psychological warfare” — an attempt to let Trump save face after, in Iran’s view, “he blinked first.” 🔗 Full details in Jeremy Scahill’s new report for Drop Site linked below. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

Jeremy Scahill joined Breaking Points to discuss his new report with Drop Site colleague Jawa Ahmad following interviews with various senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders on how they assess the current state of war, as well as Trump’s colonialist plan for Gaza, legitimized by the UN with a Security Council resolution. Scahill explains that Trump “saved Israel from itself,” by allowing Netanyahu to rebrand two years of mass killing with this “peace” deal, which authorizes a UN-approved private military force to disarm Palestinians. Washington and Israel, he says, are now pursuing the Palestinian political surrender they could not win through siege or bombing. But, “telling a people who survived genocide that now is the time to be stripped of weapons is not a serious negotiating position.” Read the full report: “Weapons of Willpower” — linked in the reply.

WATCH | As Israeli forces escalate their bombing campaign across the Gaza Strip, Trump and Netanyahu are launching a public messaging push to suggest a ceasefire deal is close. But on the ground, there’s no real progress—Hamas says it has received no new proposals. In this clip, Jeremy Scahill explains that the narrative coming out of Washington and Tel Aviv is detached from reality: “There is no actual substantive development… The Palestinian side is not going to sign a surrender agreement.” Netanyahu is set to meet with Trump and top U.S. officials in D.C. this weekend. —- Watch the full discussion earlier today between Jeremy Scahill (Drop Site News), Sharif Abdel Kouddous (Drop Site News), Jehad Abusalim (Executive Director, Institute for Palestine Studies-USA), and Abdaljawad Omar (Lecturer, Birzeit University in Ramallah, West Bank) at the Drop Site News with the link below.

⭕️ Jeremy Scahill told Breaking Points that a senior Iranian official told him he sees a comprehensive technical Trump-Iran deal as unlikely, with the “most likely” outcome being a limited, vague de-escalation rather than a detailed agreement. Scahill noted how some in Washington view a Trump walkaway without any deal as strategically smart: keep sanctions, let Iran weaken, and avoid deeper U.S. involvement. But the Iranian official argued that view underestimates Iran’s institutions, its ability to endure pressure, and its growing alternative alliances. Iran still wants to make a deal, wants sanctions relief, and believes it has the leverage to do it, but believes it could withstand a limbo scenario. jeremy scahill | Saagar Enjeti | Krystal Ball
