"Kharg Island is only about 1/3 the size of Manhattan, but don’t let that small size mislead you. It is the cornerstone of the Iranian economy. 90% of its oil exports come out of that island. And so the strikes on it have two big impacts, both military and economic," @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

More from Washington Week with The Atlantic

. @peterbakernyt.bsky.social : "What we're seeing is a real escalation in this second term [of the Trump administration] about going after people who they consider to be enemies and that they consider to be providing information that they don't want to be out there, or views to be squelched."

@thomaslfriedman.bsky.social tells moderator @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social that, in this age of rapid migration, both around the world and in America, “people’s sense of home, cultural norms, and work all got disrupted at the same time,” leaving people feeling unrooted.

Can it be argued that Iran has won the war by surviving and keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz? "I think it depends on who you ask — who’s winning or who’s losing. Certainly, you can’t say the United States has won the war, as President Trump has said," said @amnanawaz.bsky.social.

"I don't think we should underestimate Trump's ability to at least try to declare victory just out of the blue," said Missy Ryan. "There really is the reality of continued strife that could, you know, bring down the kind of economic reality that I think is more resonant for him."

How would you characterize the Trump foreign policy doctrine this week? "Our assumption about the first term, that he was some sort of a neo-isolationist, is wrong. That’s not the way to put it. Now he’s looking more like a neo-imperialist," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"The question that becomes is, if you don’t have a new regime, if you don’t have a change in the country … does this mean that we have to do it again in five years or 10 years or one year — who knows," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "[Iran has] made clear that they're not giving up."

"As a Pentagon reporter, we have learned over two now administrations: watch what [Trump is] doing, not what he's saying," said Idrees Ali. "The tea leaves and the movements indicate that this is going to get a lot tougher and a lot stronger really for Iran."

"Netanyahu needs President Trump to back him later this year because he's going to be facing voters again, and right now he's not very popular," said @michaelscherer.bsky.social. "I think there's a parallel political peril in the United States."
