🎥 Why did Saudi Arabia and Kuwait resist helping U.S. Operation “Project Freedom”? Jeremy Scahill says Saudi and Kuwaiti resistance was one factor in Trump backing off Project Freedom. Kuwait, in particular, had taken heavy strikes during the war and did not want to be left exposed again. He... says the Gulf states likely felt the U.S. prioritized Israel and its own war aims while leaving them vulnerable. He also suggests the blockade has been a “strategic failure” for Trump, and hurt many countries more than Iran – which still has food, fuel, and basic supplies, despite liquidity problems and inflation. — 🔹Video: Breaking Points (Krystal Ball, Emily Jashinsky, Mac with Drop Site’s jeremy scahill)show more

⭕️ 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)

⭕️ How does Trump’s “one big glow” nuclear threat affect Iran’s internal debate? Jeremy Scahill calls Trump’s language extraordinarily reckless, saying even during the Cold War U.S. presidents did not casually speak this way about nuclear use. He says Iran’s nuclear weapons debate has become more serious since the U.S. war began. Iran now treats its 60% enriched uranium as a sovereignty issue, not just a bargaining chip. Giving it up early in talks would be seen domestically as surrender. 🎥 via Breaking Points (Krystal Ball, Emily Jashinsky, Mac with Drop Site’s jeremy scahill)

Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky spoke with Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill about the fragile U.S.–Iran ceasefire and Tehran’s 10-point plan. Scahill explains Donald Trump was “desperate for an off-ramp,” after Tehran used the Strait of Hormuz to show it could cause “absolute global economic havoc.” He said Iran is treating the deal as a pause, with its “finger firmly on the trigger.” The pause now could be cover to “rearm Israel” before new strikes, especially as attacks in Lebanon continue. Both sides claim victory, but the truce is unstable and could unravel quickly, Scahill told Breaking Points. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

💢 Does Iran’s control over Hormuz reduce its need for nuclear weapons? Jeremy says Iran clearly recognizes the Strait of Hormuz as a powerful deterrent. It has used small boats, limited firepower, and political will to disrupt a massive part of the global energy system. But he says the nuclear debate remains ongoing. He also expects Gulf countries will now look harder to build capacity for alternative routes, while Iran builds overland transit links and expands its ballistic missile capabilities. 🎥 Breaking Points (w/ Krystal Ball, Emily Jashinsky, Mac, jeremy scahill)

🇵🇰 Jeremy Scahill says Pakistan’s role in the Iran talks is under scrutiny after relaying assurances that did not materialize. He reports Iranian officials were told Trump would “lift the blockade” on the Strait of Hormuz and extend the ceasefire before talks resume. Instead, Trump extended the ceasefire while keeping the blockade in place. Scahill says Iranian officials told him “we don’t exactly know what Pakistan was told,” and describe Pakistani intermediaries as “scrambling” to understand Trump’s shifting positions. After presenting itself as a brilliant diplomatic broker, Pakistan, as a result, now has “egg on its face.” jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

Trita Parsi says Saudi Arabia’s refusal to let the U.S. use its airspace and bases reflects a calculation in Riyadh that deeper cooperation with Washington could drag the kingdom directly into the war with Iran. Saudi Arabia previously refused U.S. access for operations tied to the Iran war, including the planned “Project Freedom” mission in the Strait of Hormuz. Parsi said some Trump officials have floated helping Saudi Arabia fight Ansarallah in Yemen in exchange for renewed U.S. access. But from Riyadh’s perspective, he argued, that is hardly an attractive bargain: “You’re essentially trading a war with the Houthis for a direct war with Iran.” Full discussion linked below.

🎥 🇰🇼 Prominent journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been jailed in Kuwait since March 3 and is facing prosecution before a special state security court on allegations that reportedly include spreading false information and harming national security. Sharif Abdel Kouddous said Shihab-Eldin’s arrest appears to be tied to his social media posts, including the resharing of footage already circulating online showing a U.S. fighter jet crash near a U.S. base in Kuwait. Jeremy Scahill placed the arrest in a wider context, arguing that GCC states have escalated repression during the Iran war while advancing a narrative that casts Iran as the sole aggressor and erases the U.S. and Israel’s role in launching the war. He highlighted how Ahmed’s case is part of a broader crackdown on dissent, journalism, and online speech across U.S.-allied Gulf states over the past six weeks.

⭕️ WATCH | Jeremy Scahill lays out where things stand on the U.S. escalation with Iran, as Iranian officials are now openly signaling willingness to meet U.S. envoys, with talks potentially taking place in Ankara later this week. Scahill warned that diplomacy has been used before as a tactical cover. He detailed Drop Site’s reporting that U.S. Central Command has quietly told at least one top Arab ally to prepare for possible U.S. strikes on Iran, with the military posture unchanged even after an expected Sunday deadline passed. Scahill also discussed how U.S.-allied Arab states are publicly distancing themselves from an attack while continuing to provide critical behind-the-scenes support, including surveillance, airspace coordination, and logistics during past U.S. and Israeli strikes. Claims that their territory won’t be used, he says, are “a misdirect,” stressing that “whether or not they’re physically allowing warplanes to take off is not really the issue.” jeremy scahill | Drop Site

⚡️🎥 “Israeli wars don’t come to an end.” As talks of a potential deal between the U.S. and Iran continue to circulate this week, Drop Site’s jeremy scahill says there should be no expectation that Israel’s wars across the region are nearing an end. He argued that while Israel succeeded in getting the U.S. to wage a massive bombing campaign against Iran, it failed to achieve its goals of destroying the Iranian government and eliminating Tehran’s deterrent capacity. Scahill says the U.S. not only can’t restrain Israel’s broader expansionist “Greater Israel” project, but wouldn’t even if it could — arguing that many American politicians support its regional military conquests.

🎥 Jeremy Scahill told Breaking Points the U.S. entered the talks without the high-level nuclear experts needed for serious diplomacy, while Iran arrived with a multidisciplinary team of technical specialists. On the nuclear file, the Trump administration has already made a major concession by dropping its demand that Iran’s enriched uranium be removed from the country. In the clip below, Scahill also discusses Qatar’s emergence as a lead mediator, the expanding role of Pakistan and possibly the IAEA, and why Washington may be willing to outsource core elements of negotiations it calls its top national security priority. jeremy scahill | Krystal Ball | Saagar Enjeti

⭕️ 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

🎥 There is active debate inside Tehran over whether Iran halted fighting too soon, academic Hassan Ahmadian told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill. Scahill noted some experts believe the pause may have cost Iran tactical leverage by giving the U.S. time to restock. Ahmadian said there may be some merit to that view, but argued the U.S. and Israel “cannot just restart the war in two weeks” if they are “running low… [because] anti-defense missiles are not produced en masse.” Overall, he said Iran aimed to “push back in a way that forces its foes to think twice and thrice,” and believes that objective was met, with regional actors also wary of renewed war. On Israel, Ahmadian said the conflict exposed a key strategic limit: “Israel showcased once more that it cannot shoulder such a confrontation with Iran absent the U.S.… That’s a shift in the balance of power in the region.” jeremy scahill | Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان

🎥 Iranian academic Hassan Ahmadian on U.S. President Trump’s claims of victory and why Iran’s system is built to withstand collapse: Trump has overstated his achievements in the war with Iran, Ahmadian told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill. “I’ve been following U.S.-Iran relations for decades, and I can see that he didn’t achieve anything. He was forced out of the war and was trying to claim an achievement.“ Ahmadian dismissed U.S. and Israeli claims that assassinating Iranian leaders amounted to a strategic win. He said Iran’s system is deliberately structured with parallel institutions at every level—parliament and Guardian Council, army and IRGC, dual intelligence bodies—so no single strike can bring it down. “For every institution in Iran, there’s a parallel institution. Wipe out entire institutions, the system will not collapse. It’s basically designed to withstand these kinds of shocks… That is not understood at all in U.S. political debates.” jeremy scahill | Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان

⚡️Jeremy Scahill says Tehran has sent a clear message: Iran will not end the war on Trump’s terms. Scahill told a Zeteo town hall that Iranian officials are demanding reparations for war damage and international guarantees that Iran’s sovereignty will be respected before any ceasefire. He also discussed Iran’s strikes on hotels and other sites allegedly housing U.S. or Israeli personnel, saying Tehran argues those locations lose civilian protection once combatants operate from them. The United States and Israel have set the rules of engagement, Scahill said, referring to the past two and a half years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, where Israel argued it could bomb churches, mosques, clinics, and hospitals because fighters were using “human shields.” jeremy scahill | Zeteo

🎥 “It’s like you might as well be sitting with a fourth grader.” — Jeremy Scahill relaying how Iranian officials described U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff during ongoing negotiations with Iran. Speaking on Majority Report, Scahill said the talks reflected a broader pattern of U.S. policy in the region being shaped by Israeli intelligence and around Israeli objectives. Iran came to the table with nuclear PhDs and experts fluent in every clause of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The U.S. “sent Trump’s golf buddy and his son-in-law.” Scahill said Jared Kushner was “not…operating on behalf of U.S. national security” at all — but those of Israel, the Gulf states, and the “Trump crime family” business. He cited Kushner’s significant financial backing from Gulf sovereign wealth funds and reported ongoing coordination with PM Benjamin Netanyahu throughout the talks. Contrasting that with Iran’s delegation of nuclear specialists and policy experts, Scahill said Iranian officials ultimately concluded the February negotiations were not serious, but a prelude to war. jeremy scahill | Emma Vigeland

My discussion with Erin Molan on The Erin Molan Show about Iran War, the Middle East, and Saudi-U.S. relations: — #SaudiArabia’s priority remains de-escalation and regional stability, even as the #Gulf continues to face Iranian missile and drone #attacks. — This is strategic patience, not weakness. The #Kingdom seeks a secure #region free from war, instability, and threats to vital #shipping lanes in the Arabian #Gulf. — President #Trump has consistently shown respect for Saudi Arabia’s leadership and has helped strengthen strategic and defense ties with the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia, in turn, remains a major #strategic and #economic partner of the #UnitedStates. The Saudi-U.S. relationship, particularly under President #Trump, remains strong regardless of political noise or careless jokes. — On the #Abraham_Accords, #SaudiArabia has always welcomed genuine peace. The obstacle remains #Israel’s refusal to take meaningful steps toward the #Palestinians. Both Israeli and Palestinian #youth deserve the chance to live in peace, and Saudi Arabia’s position has remained clear, balanced, and reasonable. — We support #Pakistan’s mediation efforts between #Washington and #Tehran. But if #Iran rejects mediation and continues attacking Gulf states, the Gulf could be drawn into the #war. Saudi Arabia carries a major responsibility in safeguarding energy stability and protecting the global #economy, which is precisely why de-escalation remains the Kingdom’s priority.

He said public denial persists even as the reality is widely understood behind the scenes. Ahmadian said a reckoning is underway as Gulf neighbors begin to recognize: “These spaces did not protect us. The defenses that we purchased and paid heavily for were used to defend those bases. And those bases are not for the security of the region — they are for the security of Israel.” jeremy scahill | Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان

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
