Advocates of a hardline policy toward Iran have now identified what they see as a new Iranian threat—this time in Cuba. Speaking at a conference organized by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), the organization’s chairman and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush claimed that Iranian combat drones are now present on the island. Bush said in […]

Trump’s war with Iran is continuing. Today, Iran launched attack drones at Bahrain — which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters, a major logistical base for U.S. military operations. Iran also struck an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, its second attack on a ship since Thursday. Those attacks came after the United […]

Trump canceled the trip of his representatives to Pakistan for talks with the Iranian delegation. Trump’s “universal soldiers”—son-in-law Jared Kushner and friend Steve Witkoff—did not fly to Islamabad. There will be no talks.

On the one hand, the Republican audience of Fox News (mainly people of mature age), long manipulated […]

Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is premised on a gossamer web of assumptions and inferences. Trump says Iran has enough nuclear material to build a bomb within days, will soon have long-range missiles capable of hitting the United States, and plans an attack. But he has offered no evidence. Most experts say he’s wrong. […]

“Bombs will fall everywhere. When we’re done, seize your government. It will be yours. This will likely be your only chance in generations,” Trump addressed the Iranian people, standing on the green lawn at Mar-a-Lago. “America stands with you with overwhelming force and destructive power. Now is the time to take your destiny into your […]

“We are going to destroy their missiles and level their missile industry,” Trump declared. US President Donald Trump confirmed in a video posted on social media that the United States has launched a “massive and ongoing” military campaign in Iran, “to prevent this very evil, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our fundamental national security […]

The leaders of the United States, Israel, and Iran have declared victory in the “12-day war” one after another. Which means, alas, there will be a continuation. Ayatollah Khamenei has closed the circle. He appeared on state television and announced that Iran’s nuclear facilities “remained intact.” Yes, they were bombed, but the Americans and Israelis […]
