Rather than engaging in more fruitless negotiations, the U.S. should now focus on a land blockade alongside its naval and air blockades.

The goal: seal Iran from the international trade the regime depends on for its survival.

@USAmbUN is right to warn against the ICJ using its imminent Myanmar case decision to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide. Lowering the threshold is unnecessary to find Myanmar committed genocide. So why lower it? Pillay and others are trying to advance their political objective of vilifying Israel, which they have already accused of genocide even though its conduct doesn't meet the current definition. Changing the law to fit a political agenda isn't justice -- it's an abuse of the ICJ. https://t.co/HHNnNKOIcs

Who wants to be a victim in the Wild West Bank? Israeli “settler violence” is headline news while Palestinian terrorism is ignored. Both cry out for law and order, writes @ElliotKaufman6

A Jewish child had to explain why gas chamber taunts were wrong. Now adults are sneering at evidence of antisemitism in schools. What the fuck has happened to this country? My latest on the Bell report and the people trying to discredit it.

Iran faces mounting pressure on its ability to finance trade as a US maritime blockade cuts off oil revenue and cryptocurrency provides only a limited alternative for moving money, former US Treasury official Miad Maleki said in an interview with Iran International.

America First doesn’t mean America alone. Israel strengthens American power, while antisemitism undermines it—and America’s founding principles.

Kate Evans is a dedicated and widely respected sergeant in Avon and Somerset Police. But her ability to do the job she loves has been severely compromised.

On 6 August 2025 she was on duty when a 23-year-old man swung a sledgehammer against her back – while she was on her knees.

Her spine was fractured and the injuries she sustained affect her to this day and profoundly limit her personal and professional freedom.

Her attacker, Samuel Corner, was a member of the proscribed 'activist' group Palestine Action, the group to which Irish novelist Sally Rooney would like to devote her royalties.

If you need to see how far the left has fallen into a sewer of antisemitism, just look how they react towards a report written on the antisemitism Jewish schoolchildren experience in British schools.

An appalling disgrace that no other community would be expected to tolerate.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

America must stand strong with trusted allies like Greece, Cyprus, and Israel while calling out “leaders” like Erdogan who constantly undermine our interests and prop up evil regimes and terrorists.

I will continue working with these leaders and military officials to strengthen our partnerships, protect our national security, and help create a safer world for our kids and grandkids.

More oil is coming through the Hormuz Strait than it did prior to the conflict.

All while the evil Iranian regime makes up fake hits and kills tens of thousands of protestors. They must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

It's atrocious that we're forming a strategic partnership with Turkey, which has a global freedom index of 32/100 and an internet freedom index of 31/100. According to the International Federation for Human Rights and other agencies, Turkey has raided and arbitrarily detained LGBTQI+ human rights defenders.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Trump makes a new statement on Iran:

“They continue to kill protestors, and anyone else that happens to be in their way. It’s truly an Evil Regime, and I can only hope the American Public, and the World, understands how EVIL they are!

75,000 protestors lie dead in less than 7 months”

The regime’s unbending pursuit of nuclear weapons and its refusal to make peace remind us why it’s so dangerous — and why a new, limited round of military strikes may be necessary.

The cost has been relatively low. Let’s not forget: Ali Khamenei’s long-term strategy was to dominate the Strait of Hormuz through nuclear ambitions, a massive missile arsenal, Russian- and Chinese-backed military capabilities, and a deadly network of terrorist proxies—all to hold the world hostage.

Now Khamenei is dead, those capabilities have been severely degraded, and his son, Mojtaba, has played the Hormuz card from a position of unprecedented weakness.

That is the strategic significance of America’s military success: preventing a hostile regime from establishing permanent control over one of the world’s most vital energy chokepoints.

[Dan Shapiro @DanielBShapiro]

Mark, the US military never fails to be impressive. But this effort, at enormous cost, is not a sustainable way to ensure free shipping in the Strait.

"The Battle of Hormuz" ... let's not forget that opening the Straits of Hormuz was never the point of the US war against Iran. It's a consequence of the decision to go to war in the first place.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

Today marks 100 days since CENTCOM forces resumed America's steel wall naval blockade against Iran. This effort has helped prevent Iran from exporting at least $25 billion worth of crude oil and constrained the IRGC's ability to fund proxy militias, criminal networks, and terrorism. There have been no exports or imports to Iran by sea except for the humanitarian aid U.S. forces have allowed.
