“The base of the Islamic Republic is about 13 million of more than 80 million people… who will vote for a candidate promising an Iran that would be more closed off to the world and much more dogmatic… 13 million will support that, the rest of the country won’t.” @MaloneySuzanne

Trump team would be looking to reimpose maximum pressure on Iran, @MaloneySuzanne says

[Alex McRae Dimsdale @amcdims]

“Iranians are watching the electoral drama play out in the U.S. and biding their time. There is a recognition that there is a high probability of change in the U.S. in November… so any overtures that were made to this administration might go to waste.” @MaloneySuzanne

[Alex McRae Dimsdale @amcdims]

“The Supreme Leader is 85 years old. There is no road map to what happens after Khamenei’s death, so it’s very important to have different people in the room.” @maziarbahari explains why Masoud Pezeshkian’s influence on Iran may be felt in the future: https://t.co/JwRbuyc08s

.@Tara_varma: “The idea of a celebration makes me uneasy.. with the current context in Europe it’s about acknowledging everything that NATO has done over the past 75 years and looking at how it can prepare itself for the coming decades.” https://t.co/YF8XLAOCMC

“We are still plenty big enough to deliver a knock-out punch, but our goal for the National Defense Strategy is to be able to deter. So… today’s not the day for Xi Jinping. He should wake up every day saying, today’s not the day.” https://t.co/yur4gViNwZ

“A call to national service is warranted and long overdue. It doesn’t matter if you’re joining the Peace Corps, or you’re going to be a teacher… the option can’t only be serving in the military. Service to something besides yourself is key.” @CMC_MarineCorps
