Universities are being targeted because they are believed to be part of Iran’s military ecosystem @FurkanGozukara I'm skeptical that justification holds up & it is problematic under international law.
The point of Article 5 is to coordinate a collective response to a threat facing ALL member states… not just the state that invokes it. The threat was Islamic extremism. We didn’t invoke Article 5 to protect the U.S. alone. We invoked...

trump's proposed 2027 budget. defense up $440.9 billion. most everything else — health, housing, education, labor, agriculture — cut.
“Response has 10 clauses, rejects a ceasefire while demanding a permanent end to the war in line with Iran’s considerations… … also includes a protocol for safe passage through the Strait, reconstruction & lifting sanctions” So it’s either fire and brimstone or...
Ukraine's campaign against Russian energy export infrastructure have been more effective. One theory is that's due to degraded Russian air defense, but folks should consider that Ukraine has gotten much better in how it organizes and executes these strikes.
So we are theoretically at President Trump's deadline to reopen the Strait and Iran has rejected the ceasefire proposal. I guess we wait for a social post from the President or some headlines speaking to an escalation...

Israel appears to have attacked again the petrochemical plants connected to the South Pars gas project (but not the gas field itself or any of its immediate processing facilities). Israel said its military hit Iran's largest petrochemical facility, located in Asaluyeh.
Just to be absolutely clear, as the headlines on the 45-day ceasefire proposal are misleading. US and Iran “receiving” a ceasefire proposal does NOT mean they have exchanged proposals. Rather, mediators - Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan - have drawn up a proposal...
So in the next 36 hours, based on Trump's deadline, we can either get an Iran ceasefire deal or the US attacking Iran's infrastructure. The market just wants some certainty either way.
Okay, so here’s how how the ceasefire cookie crumbles: - A ceasefire without the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will likely be unacceptable to the US. - A ceasefire with a reopening will likely be unacceptable to Iran. Iran appears serious...

MOSCOW, April 6 (Reuters) - Russia's defence ministry said on Monday that Ukraine attacked facilities at the maritime transhipment complex in the port of Novorossiysk overnight, damaging a mooring point for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium.

💥 MAJOR STRIKE ON IRAN Israel just hit Iran’s South Pars petrochemical facility in Asaluyeh. Israeli Defense Minister says 2 key facilities, responsible for 85% of Iran’s petrochemical exports are now disabled. This is Iran’s most important industrial and energy hub. It sits...

Good point: arming Ukraine is more useful than humiliating Europe before Trump in the way of Mark Rutte if we want to stave off Putin.

Just two years ago, people who said "tanks are over" still got ridiculed by military "experts".
In an age of cheap, disruptive, rapidly improving technology, the old top down, bureaucracy-heavy ways of doing military procurement just don't cut it.

This is a military years further into the future than any other. It's not just the drones themselves. It's how agile they've proven themselves to be.

Yes you do. Literally the damn mission set for this airframe and the exact use case and operational plan they train for with the exact assets they train with.
To be clear, the U.S. and Israel established Air Superiority over Iran within the opening days of Operation Epic Fury and have maintained it ever since. U.S. forces have flown over 13,000 combat flights (combat sorties) in support of Operation Epic...

You can paper over financial losses, but you can’t paper over lost barrels, says @LynAldenContact You can print money. You can’t print oil. Shut Hormuz and the problem isn’t financial—it’s physical. No barrels. No flows. No workaround. #IranWar #Hormuz #OilMarkets #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #SystemShock
The intelligence was clear: Iran would retaliate asymmetrically, target regional assets, and weaponize Hormuz. Trump dismissed Pentagon concerns. The President has that right. But don't say “no one told me” when everyone did. https://t.co/akIhHjvwQh #IranWar #Geopolitics #EnergyCrisis #Hormuz #OilMarkets #Strategy
United States and Iran discuss terms for a 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war, Axios reports.
