"You're not going to achieve it with just an air campaign. You need a ground component." Watch for the... show more

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A 50% chance Trump just abandons the whole thing, and that number is climbing down from even higher odds. Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale breaks down why a clean win for anyone is nearly impossible. "Both sides, deep down, regardless of the bravado, regardless of hard line, there is an understanding that Iran has to close it and the U.S. has a software blockade. If not, there is not going to be an agreement." Artorias

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran just refused to concede anything on the nuclear program, and the Gulf states won't accept a deal that lets Tehran control the Straits of Hormuz. Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale just laid it all out. "I think that we're going back to war. I really do believe war is likely. I don't know what else we need to see." Artorias

🇮🇷 The airstrikes got the headlines, but the real blow landed in the fine print. Fmr. U.S. Army Intel Stefano Ritondale explains why removing oil waivers cuts deeper than two days of bombing ever could. "There's a lot of businesses who would like to do business with Iran but aren't, or a lot of countries who would like to do business with Iran, but are because of these sanctions. And now they see this, that caused a problem." The military campaign has a ceiling. The economic one might not. Artorias

🚨🇮🇷🇦🇪 A missile threat just triggered UAE air defenses, and it may signal Iran is taking far more damage than anyone admitted. Stefano Ritondale explains why targeting UAE changes everything. "If Iran is targeting UAE specific, which generally they've kind of avoided, that tells me one, they need the U.S. strikes in Iran are pretty expensive." Artorias

🇺🇸 The next 24 hours will either bring more bombs or a back-channel deal, and the difference between those two outcomes is razor thin. Fmr. U.S. Army Intel Stefano Ritondale just laid it all out. "I think tomorrow we will probably see more strikes. If we don't, then that's an indication that maybe we're back in the diplomatic route." A Netanyahu visit to Washington may be the clearest signal of where this is actually heading. Artorias

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷For the first time, the U.S. struck Iran not in response to an Iranian action, but seemingly out of frustration with the state of negotiations, with an explicit threat of more strikes tomorrow if Iran doesn't move. Fmr. Army Officer Stefano Ritondale says the Rubicon has been crossed. The next question is whether Israel joins the next round. Energy infrastructure has not been hit yet. That remains the last line. Artorias

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran’s Strait of Hormuz threat was already built into the plan. Fmr Army officer Stefano Ritondale says the U.S. Navy weakened Iran’s speedboat capacity from dozens down to just small groups, which pushed Tehran toward drones. But he argues the real pressure point is shipping insurance: if companies refuse to cover vessels, traffic slows without Iran needing to fully block the waterway. Tehran may still hold leverage if Trump cannot escort even one vessel through the Strait. Artorias

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The version of this war nobody is talking about starts with a U.S. air base in Jordan reduced to rubble. Fmr U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance just laid it all out: "Everybody thinks the ballistic missiles are going to Israel and then suddenly boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, ten, 15 F-35s." If Iran shifts the target, Trump gets forced to beg Netanyahu to stand down. That changes everything. Malcolm Nance

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The next 24 hours could determine whether this war restarts. Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale breaks down why Iran's suicidal boat tactics may have been deliberate provocation, and why the US likely waited until the last second to avoid escalation. "Those fast boats are kind of suicidal. If you want my honest opinion, you're going to go after a naval destroyer with these small boats." War restart odds just jumped from 30% to 40%.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. response was so fast it could only mean one thing: the strike package was already loaded and waiting. Stefano Ritondale breaks down how pre-authorized war plans work. "If Iran does A, B or C, immediately execute force package, whatever you want to call it. Clearly, when the Iranians launched the missile and struck the civilian vessel, when they announced the Strait of Hormuz closed, those were conditions." The only question is if the strikes had improvised targets or ones that were chosen in advance. Artorias

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Three signs reveal whether a US ground invasion of Iran is coming, and two are already happening. Fmr. Army officer Stefano Ritondale lays out his checklist: increased strikes on Iran's regular army rather than just the IRGC, bridge targeting around Bandar Abbas to cut off resupply routes, and a higher tempo against IRGC ground forces specifically. All three are showing up in the current strike packages. He stops short of calling an invasion imminent. But the target selection has shifted in a way that demands attention, because this is what preparation looks like from the outside. Artorias

Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale says Iran may have already won the attrition game anyway. "All Iran needed to do was just keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. And they did that."

It's not important that your partner is an identical copy of you. It's important that they're not, that they bring something else to the table that you don't have. Now, in the context of entrepreneurship, because that's what I'm associated with, you need to find somebody that's willing to put up with the fact that you're just never there. I mean, that's very difficult because if you're running a business and you can't have a balanced life when you're an entrepreneur. It's really about finding that person that understands what you're about, that you're going down that journey and that you're not gonna stop doing it.

🚨🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The Iranian president is telling his people the truth no one expected: there's barely an economy left. Former U.S. intelligence official Stefano Ritondale says the Iranian president has begun framing the crisis as a war economy out of necessity, with manufacturing stalled, the internet largely down, and an estimated two million jobs lost directly and indirectly. He's one of the few in Tehran pressing for a quick deal. That's also why Stefano thinks Trump is in no rush. The economic gap between the two countries is wide enough that Washington sees time as working in its favor. Artorias Azi

🇺🇸🇮🇷 One U.S Army Colonel is not mincing words about what happens when the ceasefire ends. Colonel Douglas MacGregor says Trump's next move is designed to obliterate Iran as a functioning state, not just degrade it. "You're going to see what I think Trump hopes will be the final solution for Iran. You'll see a massive air and missile attack, and that massive air and missile attack will last in terms of intensity for several days."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 One dead American service member ends the ceasefire, whether the strike was aimed or an accident. Analyst Stefano Ritondale maps the escalation ladder to its breaking point, and it comes down to a single variable: service member casualties. The chilling part of his assessment is that intent stops mattering. A strike deliberately designed to inflict losses and a freak battlefield anomaly produce the identical result, because the Western security framework runs on an exceptionally low tolerance for casualties. One death, however it happens, and Stefano says the response will be severe and destabilizing. The entire ceasefire is balanced on a threshold nobody fully controls. Artorias

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The U.S. firepower meant to weaken Iran just handed Tehran a brand new narrative. Fmr U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance breaks down how American strikes built to degrade Iran may be backfiring in plain sight. The IRGC, he notes, was never going to honor the agreements anyway: "That capability is not for tit for tat. It's designed to continuously degrade Iran's capability for further action." And here's where it turns on Washington. Tehran has seized the moment to recast the entire story, painting the US as the side that shattered the ceasefire. Malcolm Nance
