This gentleman explains everything about this war with Iran and why America and Israel can't win.

[Abhijit Iyer-Mitra @Iyervval]

India’s position on Gulf is dictated by one interest alone - India’s own. The priorities are
1) the flow of oil remains uninterrupted
2) that the massive indian diaspora - about 9 million + in the gulf remains safe and prosperous
3) that terrorism is indivisible
4) that both UAE & Israel are close political & military partners - much closer than Iran has ever been.

Within this interest zone it makes no sense even making a token gesture to Iran at the moment. Iran has disrupted 1, endangered 2 & openly flirts with 3. Iran also attacked 4 (UAE) without any provocation or cause.

The BJP’s political interest undeniably lies with the Shias. This is where you start appreciating that Modi has put the national interest above party interest.

Finally for those who keep saying that Modi’s visit to Israel encouraged this attack and has “diminished India’s stature”. China’s involvement in the Korean War (1950-1953) never stopped Nehru’s full throated endorsement of the PRC from 1949 onwards. Similarly it was Lyndon Johnson who heavily escalated US involvement in the Vietnam war in 1965. Yet Indira Gandhi had no qualms meeting him & regaling him in 1966. Similarly Zia Ul Haq was waging a full proxy war against Afghanistan and against India in Punjab and yet Rajiv & Indira had no qualms meeting him. Was our “stature diminished” by this? No because they did as they saw fit in India’s interests.

These kind of childish arguments only make you look stupid. Please grow up and understand how high politics works.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

Almost 100% of the physical work that machines do wasn’t done by muscles before. It’ll be the same with mental work and AI.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon are two of history's greatest songwriters.

I've been a hardcore fan / scholar for 15 years.

When you dissect their craft and history, you see how much of their process applies to the written word too.
