Trump met the Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi and wanted to boast about Qasem Soleimani's assassination when an Iraqi militia commander was killed as well—al-Zaidi wanted none of it.
Trump: I don't know if I did you a favor or not. I've never asked you that question.
al-Zaidi: I was not in politics then. I would like to talk about the future.
I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

If you build two walls, one from NYC to the West Coast and another from LA to the East Coast, the total length will be 7,755 km, which is still about 1,000 km short of Iran’s total borders. Good luck blockading a country with those borders😁
P.S. For Pete Hegseth: 1 km = 0.62 mi
MEMO TO PRESIDENT #TRUMP
Roman Emperor Augustus on hIs deathbed had this advice for his successor Tiberius:
"Whatever you do, don't attack #Persia!"
Good advice even after more than 2000 years.
جنگ که تمام شد، اگر #علی_قمصری دوست داشت و راضی شد، هر وقت خواست، همین ساز #تار را که با آن در کنار نیروگاه نواخت، در موزه نظامی قرار دهید. یادگار برای تاریخ ایران، تاریخ دفاع، تاریخ #هنر_دفاع از ایران.
The key question now isn’t who “won.”
It’s whether a new rule has been set:
That stability in global energy flows depends on accommodating Iran.
If that holds—even partially—the system has already shifted.
If you like to have a deeper understanding of Iran and why it is where it is, watch to Vali Nasr's brilliant talk at Princeton University.
اگر می خواهید عمیق تر درباره اینکه چرا ایران اینچنین است و چطور به اینجا رسیده است به نطق ولی نصر در دانشگاه پرنستون گوش دهید
