Told @AJE that the US's strategic defeat against Iran also raises questions about the sustainability of American primacy, not just in the Middle East, but globally. Iran has done to the US what Ukraine did to Russia.

More from Trita Parsi

Spoke to @owenjonesjourno about how Trump has already lost control over the war and that increasingly desperate measures are being considered as a result. In comparison, the Iraq war plan didn't go off the rails until August 2003.

The idea that TTrump'sump's blockade is needed to get Iran to the table is bizarre - the blockade pushed Iran away from the table.

Told @BBCWorld that progress appears to have been made in the talks, but it is still subject to Trump's self-sabotage. But one factor may help him muster much-needed discipline: It'll be embarrassing for him to show up in Beijing next week without having stabilized the situation

Told @cnn that Trump's focus on appearing as the winner is starting to become a threat to the negotiations. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Trump has not been able to resist mocking Iran and portraying Iranian restraint as a sign of weakness. This is self-sabotage.

I can't think of a single example in history when an Iranian pretender to the throne sided with a foreign invader and then ended up ruling the country. Nothing suggests that Pahlavi, who is seen here selling Iran out while Israel unleashes hell on Tehran, will be the first.

I discuss on @Bannons_WarRoom why the whole idea of a naval blockade won't go anywhere. Trump has no escalatory paths out of this futile war; the sooner he recognizes that and adopts realistic negotiation positions, the better off the US will be.

Trump says he'll bomb Iran to the Stone Age and then the next President must bomb again. This is the Israelization of America's war - it's Israel's mowing-the-lawn policy This is precisely why previous Presidents resisted Israel's pressure for war w/ Iran: To avoid endless war

Iranians have suffered tremendously from this war, but also from a ceasefire that keeps the risk of war alive. Tehran signals readiness for war, though it doesn't seek it, and still believes it has escalation dominance. If war erupts, Iran will escalate horizontally & particularly target the UAE.

The infantility of the German gov appears to have no limits. The German FM now says that "regimes like Iran cannot invoke international law.” The most fundamental principle of international law is that it applies equally to all states. To challenge that is to declare yourself a rogue state.

❌ The American political system is #FAKE. It’s not a legitimate governing apparatus. It’s an organized crime syndicate that rapes, murders, and profits from the death and destruction it intentionally inflicts. These people must be indicted, tried and fried‼️

Iran’s meme factory just gave America the most accidental bipartisan image of 2026: Trump shaving Netanyahu while the “Epstein Files” poster hangs in the background.
