Trump wants European powers to help open the Straits of Hormuz, but why on earth should they? They were not consulted about this war, and they cannot make much of a military difference. As far as they are concerned, this is Trump's debacle.

Important: The threat of American military force has lost its potency in the US-Iran equation. This fundamentally changes the dynamics between the US and Iran. The US can no longer approach diplomacy as a matter of dictating terms - it has to be real give and take
Stunning lyrics by Siba Alkhiami, a German-based artist, against Israel's repression of Palestinians.
Lindsey Graham, a hero of neocons and Iranian monarchists, seems more unbalanced than usual as he promises the Fox viewers that the US is "going to blow the hell out of these people." Graham has supported every disastrous war the US has started. This one might be the worst.
Told @Bannons_WarRoom that if the US position in Islamabad truly was zero enrichment, we should not be surprised that the talks failed; we should be surprised that that was the US strategy. It raises questions about the sincerity of the talks.
Told Steve Bannon that the manner in which Israel and Trump have conducted the war on Iran has left most of the population increasingly convinced that it's a war on Iran, not a war on the theocracy. This cannot be reversed - rather, Trump should just end the war.
Told @esaagar and @krystalball that Tehran may commit the same mistake as the US, overplay their hand, and seek Trump's humiliation. That would be a huge mistake. Both sides need to be able to put forward a credible narrative of victory in order to end this senseless war.
WOW! Tucker on Israeli TV: “As an Israeli, you should pause before using the phrase ‘terror regime.’ Since you live in a country that murdered thousands of children in Gaza." The anchor accuses Tucker of equating Israel - "a country that abides by international law" - with Iran.
Told @BeckyCNN that we are only 6 days into the 2-week ceasefire, and more rounds may occur since neither side has rejected further talks. And perhaps neither side wanted an agreement right away, since it could give the impression that they gave in too quickly.
Trump had time on his side during the ceasefire - until he imposed the blockade per the recommendation of FDD, Israel, and Lindsey Graham. Though the blockade is hurting Iran, it has ended up hurting Trump more, with oil prices now exceeding where they were even during the war itself.
LOL! This woman is a genius! In the parody of democracy that Germany has become, you get arrested if you say "From the River to the Sea." So this pro-Palestine protester asks if it is ok to say "From the River to the Beach" 😂😂😂😂 This is a scene straight out of Kafka...
Marco Rubio: "Cuba not only has weapons they've acquired from Russia and China, but they also host Russian and Chinese intelligence presence in their country. So Cuba has always posed a national security threat to the US. They're a leading state sponsor of terror."
