They told Vietnam it had no right to shoot down American planes.
The planes were there to bomb Vietnamese villages. But the shooting down of the planes was the aggression. The bombing was the order. The anti-aircraft gun was the escalation.
They told Korea it had no right to fight back when the bombing began.
They told Iraq it had no right to Scud missiles.
They told Iran it has no right to a nuclear program.
They told Libya to give up its weapons program. And Gaddafi, fatally, believed the guarantee that followed.
Do you see the pattern?
The demand is always: disarm. Trust us. Accept your vulnerability. Our restraint is your only protection.
And the record of what happens to countries that accept that offer is written in the ruins of every country that accepted that offer.
The empire's promise of protection is only extended to countries that remain permanently unable to make protection unnecessary.
Because a country that protects itself doesn't need the empire.
And a country that doesn't need the empire cannot be managed by it.
The demand to disarm is never about safety.
It is about access.
Mark my words: even if Iran completely surrenders its nuclear program to the U.S., they will still try to erase us from the map. Global politics has no principles.
Look at Gaddafi—the moment Libya abandoned its nuclear program, Western powers betrayed him and celebrated his death on live TV.
North Korea saw that fate and rightfully understood that strength is the only language the West respects; now, no one dares touch them.
For nearly five decades, we've endured false accusations, brutal sanctions, and constant pressure to seize our capabilities. Why do we refuse to bow down? Because we know our enemy.
They don't care about international law—they only care about preserving their absolute dominance and eliminating anyone who stands up to them.
People ask why we don't just yield to avoid conflict. But this is a fight for our survival. History has taught us that these powers will never be our true allies. We have studied history well, and unlike others, we refuse to fall into the same trap twice. That is why Iran will never back down.
I like this picture, seeing Lamine Yamal’s grandmother proudly wearing her Moroccan jersey as he brought the trophy to her. It was a beautiful reminder that success doesn’t erase your roots, it should celebrate them.
People should evacuate Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and possibly Oman. If the Trump regime keeps pushing escalation, the fate of key infrastructure across these complicit regimes is not in doubt. They will become unlivable.
Human civilization is at serious risk in Kuwait and Dubai.
Both Kuwait and Dubai could be sent back to Stone Age.
An hour ago, America destroyed Iran's only nuclear power reactor at Dar Khweyn.
IRGC had already issued a warning.
If Iran's infrastructure were targeted again, it would bring massive destruction to Kuwait and Dubai.
The retaliation has already started.
Iran just destroyed two more major water power stations in Kuwait.
Kuwait has zero rivers. Zero lakes.
They survive ONLY on desalination plants.
The whole country is about to go thirsty.
ZERO backups for a bailout.
Airports are already in chaos.
Thousands of people are escaping Kuwait every few hours.
Dubai is most likely next.
Things are getting brutally catastrophic.
When I see Arab nations denounce bombings from Iran but not the United States it tells me everything I need to know about the leaders of those nations.
If you want Iran to stop bombing you, stop allowing the United States to use your lands to bomb Iran.
⚡️BREAKING
Iran's Armed Forces on Trump owning the Strait of Hormuz:
"The United States interference in the Management of the Strait of Hormuz have seriously Jeopardized Regional Security and International Trade
The United States shall Never be allowed to Interfere in the Management of the Strait of Hormuz
Leaders of Regional Nations are Warned that any Cooperation with the United States constitutes an Act of War against Iran
Their Nations will engulf in War"
🚨 JUST IN: 🇮🇷
Reporter: “Are you rebuilding nuclear weapons?”
Abbas Araghchi: “No.”
Reporter: “Will you accept President Trump's request for inspections?”
Araghchi: “Of course—if we can send our team to Israel to see whether they have nuclear weapons. If Israel has them, then Iran should have them too.”
@mhdksafa JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS, BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS UNFAIR, BUT BLOCKING OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA IN ORDER TO COLLAPSE THEIR WHOLE COUNTRY, IS FAIR 🤔 DID I GET THAT RIGHT 🙄
🚨 President Trump reveals he just LOST RESPECT for some "hardliners" who DEMANDED he keep bombing Iran
"Some STUPID people. I'll be honest with you. I LOST RESPECT for some people. I don't want to mention the names — but, you know, HARDLINERS. 'Oh, you gotta take them out.' Plus, I'm not looking to kill people!"
@axios
Finally! This is the kind of energy we need from our leaders. I hate to give @JDVance credit, but he’s obviously correct here. It’s infuriating to see them assume they can boss us around when we’re their only remaining ally and they owe us everything.
Netanyahu has decided to accept the Iranian deal. Security officials are despondent and see it as a disaster. Ynet brings some high level quotes from them:
1) A senior Israeli official said "Nobody is happy with this. We understand it is not good for us, and that it harms Israeli interests. What is troubling is that Israel cannot influence it. Its voice is not being heard."
2) The anger at Trump is palpable.: "Trump screwed us, we took the hit. We're no longer in the loop and can't really influence anything."
3) Israelis fear Iran will be economically revived: "They've blown money on the Iranians, who are getting everything they want. They'll build a missile corps, and we'll have to pour money into interceptors." Israel sees oil revenue flowing back into the exact capabilities the war was meant to degrade.
4) They don't believe a deal will adequately deal with the nuclear issue: "The real test of the deal is removing the uranium and destroying it. If that doesn't happen, the sense of a bad deal will turn into something more concrete."
5) They fear this will embolden Iran: "Iran has smelled that it can achieve things by force, and it will use that against its neighbors and against us."
6) The deepest worry is not military. It is perception. After months of direct fire, Iran is seen across the region as the side that took the pressure and did not fold: "the regional working assumption will be that it was signed under Iranian pressure and American capitulation, rather than the reverse."
Israel is concerned that Iran will be stronger, the US will be weaker and that the future for it will be bleak in the region. This war has been a disaster for Israel.
🚨 Trump on Fox News addresses Netanyahu: "If you strike back at Iran, you’ll find nothing more than what you saw under the previous 47 presidents." It’s as if he’s saying: You want to strike back? That’s your business. Don’t expect anything from me.
And the headquarters of the Seal of the Prophets is designating areas in Lebanon 🇱🇧 as an Iranian red line 🇮🇷.
At this very moment, intensive U.S. contacts are underway with the Pakistani army chief, who is currently in Tehran, to urge him to take action to de-escalate the situation.
This is the full picture. Trump is abandoning Netanyahu on live TV and scrambling after a Pakistani mediator in the Iranian capital. The man who once threatened “overwhelming force” is now begging for de-escalation through Islamabad.🇵🇰 The man who wanted to destroy Iran is now asking Pakistan to salvage what can be salvaged.
This is an implicit admission that the solution lies neither in Tel Aviv nor in Washington. The solution passes through other capitals—capitals that did not participate in the war, did not bet on it, and yet today hold the keys to peace.
Reality has proven that those who ignored Saudi Arabia’s 🇸🇦 warnings on February 21, 2026, before the war began—that the solution cannot be achieved through force—have reached a dead end.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
