Rather than debate the wisdom of US military intervention in foreign countries, those who profit from these wars smear me with “foreign agent” lies. I will usher in a new foreign policy that is in our country’s best interests and allows us to be force for good in the world.

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.

Trump AGAIN, *already* walking back his contention yesterday that we had a deal all but worked out. As soon as Iranian sources start revealing (not leaking) the terms they will - and will NOT - agree to, Trump starts backtracking, here laying the foundation to back out of his word, blaming Iran for not getting "their act together."

Doesn't even take 24hrs now to get the TACO...

We are about to enter the period of maximum leverage for Iran

This will last thru the midterms and why Iran has no real interest in settling now, before more damage is done to world economy and especially Trump

“For 40 days, US and Israeli aircraft pounded the mountains around Yazd, trying to silence one of Iran’s most important military projects: a buried missile complex carved deep into the granite above the ancient desert city.

Yet, according to residents, the Iranian missiles kept firing regardless. “US and Israeli forces kept bombing those mountains,” said one resident of Yazd. “And Iran kept launching missiles until the final moments before the ceasefire.”

⭕️ The State Department has launched an investigation of Trita Parsi, co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), and could seek to deport him, according to U.S. officials and documents reviewed by The Free Press.

Parsi, who holds a green card, is one of the most prominent U.S.-based critics of the war with Iran. He was born in Iran, grew up in Sweden, has lived in the United States for over 25 years.

A Trump administration official said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was taking “a hard look” at anyone whose work “furthers” the agenda of U.S. adversaries, invoking a provision of federal immigration law allowing the secretary of state to personally determine that a noncitizen’s presence compromises a “compelling U.S. foreign policy interest”—the same authority Rubio used in the ongoing effort to deport Columbia University protest leader Mahmoud Khalil.

Quincy’s CEO told staff and donors in April that the think tank was retaining an immigration lawyer and preparing a writ of habeas corpus “to have at the ready” if Parsi were suddenly detained.

The outlet that broke this story, The Free Press, has repeatedly published articles that amplify official pressure on critics of Israel, U.S. wars, and aggressive foreign policy, contributing to a chilling effect intended to deter others from speaking out.

“My preference has always been to take Kharg Island… I don't know that America has the stomach for it… You'd make a fortune."

He’s talking about sacrificing thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of American soldier’s lives. So he and his buddies can make a fortune. That’s what he thinks we don’t have the stomach for.

Another US/Israeli deception operation?

[Policy Tensor @policytensor]

This is a significant operational achievement for Iran. The AR-327 radar at Bahrain’s highest point is a very important piece of the regional missile defense and battlefield awareness architecture. What you need to realize to see the significance of this hit is this:

Radars are the easiest thing to target bc they’re fixed addresses that emit such powerful electromagnetic signals. This makes very vulnerable. And because they are so operationally important, they have to be very strongly defended by interceptor systems. There is almost certainly a multi-layer ballistic missile defense-in-depth to defend this particular radar.

Now if you recall, the Iranians managed to hit at least 14 US radars across the region, include four AN/TPY-2 (THAAD) and at least one AN/FPS-132. This happened in the first two days of the war when the Iranians fired off hundreds of missiles. In that case, they were able to defeat the interceptors and hit the best-defended hard-kill targets like radars because of the size of the salvos.

Now they’ve bagged a big radar kill. The math shows that, even with a CEP of 5m, Iran would’ve needed something like a salvo of 12 missiles.

So the possibilities are: (1) they did fire a dozen missiles at this radar, (2) they fired a hypersonic missile with terminal maneuvering that could not be intercepted, (3) the interceptor inventories are running so low that US policy has shifted from firing 10 interceptors at each inbound missile to firing far fewer; maybe as few as just one or two.

Regardless of which of these hypotheses is correct, this is a very serious setback for the US. It may explain why the Iranians did not attack high value targets like warships or try hard to get birds on the apron (my Ben Gurion nightmare). They went after the eyes. There may have been more hits.

So the kinetic aspect of this war of position is a counter-radar war, a two-sided one. Maybe this is why Trump taco’d on his latest threat. He was probably told by the military that had he kept going, the US would get blinded before Iran does.

⚡️NEW: Israel says Trump assured Netanyahu any Iran deal would meet hardline Israeli demands

Israel says President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday about the emerging U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding that would open formal negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister’s Office claimed Trump gave Netanyahu a commitment that any final agreement would:
🔹require the removal of Iran’s enriched nuclear material
🔹the dismantling of its enrichment infrastructure
🔹limits on missile production
🔹and an end to Iranian support for allied armed groups across the region.

Israel also said it is not itself a party to the proposed agreement.

US President Trump has not publicly said it is committed to Israel’s terms or given the Israeli PM any of the aforementioned assurances.

Trump Recalibrates offensive after Iran targets radars and base in Jordan

Donald Trump, right after Netanyahu’s offensive, decided to open fire against Iran, allegedly claiming the loss of a helicopter in a confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Obviously, this talk has no basis in reality. If you employ helicopters to combat fast boats, some of which have anti-aircraft systems, you obviously already work with the chance of losing helicopters.

Trump bombarded more than 20 targets in Iran, focusing mainly on the coast, but several targets in the interior of the country were also hit, as I reported in yesterday’s post.

Iran retaliated and, although it did not fire a large number of missiles and drones, it used some upgraded missiles, hitting important targets that led CENTCOM to re-evaluate the continuity of the offensive in the way it was planned.

For example, the missiles fired against the Muwaffaq Salti airbase in Jordan seem to have hit their targets not only because of the two columns of smoke visible from several kilometers away, but the explosions were so powerful that its echoes were being heard in the West Bank and Jerusalem around 200 km away.

In the 40-day war, Iran had immense difficulty hitting this same base and only managed to improve its results against targets in Jordan after the destruction of numerous American radars, opening a corridor.

A similar situation had occurred the night before, when it was confirmed that at least one Iranian missile hit RAMAT DAVID AIRBASE IN ISRAEL.

This time, Iran also began targeting long-range radars, destroying the Jabal al-Dukhan Long Range Radar site, which was one of the main ones in Bahrain.

Some other radars were also targeted by drones , though without confirmation yet that they were actually hit.

US President Donald Trump claims Washington and Tehran have reached a ‘great settlement’ and are finalising documents for a deal that he says will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran's Foreign Ministry directly rejects Trump's new claim that "everyone in Iran has approved the deal," including the Supreme Leader, saying no one has accepted it, and "no agreement has been reached," per Fars.

Any agreement requires the US to "accept every demand" from Iran, including that it won't surrender enriched uranium or make nuclear concessions, that the Strait of Hormuz remains permanently under Iranian management, and the transfer of $24 billion in frozen funds. Iran adds "if it were to yield under pressure, it would have done so a year ago" rather than after sustained US bombing.

The spokesperson also denied Trump's claim that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on a deal signing, saying it "remains closed" under Iranian authority and "safe passage is not possible."
