For 90% of the game, Haaland just lurks around. He hardly even pays attention to the ball.

But then - out of a sudden - at the exact right moment, he awakens, scores a historic goal, and immediately goes back to lurking around.

He cannot be replicated.

Is this true?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.

This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).

This means that the battle lines have been moved.

Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.

But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

Tara moved to Israel five years ago from Texas.

Her message to the Palestinians living in Palestine is simple: 'Leave or we will kill you!'

Perhaps this conflict isn't that complicated after all...

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This is the West Bank. An Israeli soldier assaults a Palestinian child near Ramallah. The child looks no older than 6.

If any other country's soldiers did this to a child, Washington would call for military intervention.

But because it is Israel, US taxpayers finance this.

I think Trump may have been right about "Low IQ Alex Jones." Find out the shocking truth here.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran didn't win the war militarily. It won it strategically. And that's the kind of victory that lasts.

Tehran's goal was never to defeat the U.S. Air Force. It was to survive long enough for the economic pain to become unbearable for Washington.

38 days of closing Hormuz, spiking oil to $115, rattling every Gulf economy, and making Americans feel the war at the gas pump.

One analyst put it simply: "They made sure the war was felt in the U.S. I don't think Trump's going to try that again."

That sentence is the entire outcome of this war in 15 words.

Iran emerged with two things it didn't have on February 28th.

De facto control over the Strait of Hormuz with a framework to monetize it.

And a proven deterrent that makes any future large-scale attack carry a price tag no American president will want to pay.

The U.S. and Israel struck 12,300+ targets, sank much of Iran's navy, killed its Supreme Leader, and degraded its missile stockpiles.

By every traditional military metric, they dominated.

And yet the ceasefire happened on a timeline Trump didn't choose, under conditions Iran proposed, with the Strait still in Tehran's hands.

This is the part that should concern everyone most.

The regime emerged more hardline, not less.

The IRGC has more power than before the war.

The new Supreme Leader is taking a harder stance than his father.

And the protesters who rose up hoping American bombs would bring freedom are now being hunted as potential spies.

The war was supposed to weaken Iran and strengthen American leverage.

Iran is now collecting tolls on the world's most important waterway.

The war was supposed to create conditions for regime change.

The regime is more entrenched than ever. The war was supposed to end Iran's nuclear ambitions. Tehran says it will keep enriching.

Every stated objective failed.

The one unstated objective, Hormuz leverage over China, was handed to Iran instead.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

Netanyahu launches terror attack on Beirut, destroying Trump’s ceasefire. We need to detach from Israel immediately.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump.

Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

The 25th amendment needs to be invoked. He is a genocidal lunatic. Our Congress and military need to intervene. We are beyond madness.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

All that talk of 50,000 defecters in the IRGC was clearly lies.

Pahlavi's latest message reveals his frustration that he actually has no support within the Iranian security establishment - a key reason why Trump apparently never took him seriously...

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

The President of the United States is a madman.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

The President must be removed.

If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

The Iranian President tweets that he is willing sacrifice his own life for his people. Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice Charlie Kirk and is willing to sacrifice every American life and livelihood for Greater Israel.
Who is the animal again?
