MAJOR ANALYSIS: After spending hundreds of hours fighting against The Foundation for Defense of Democracies in the public sphere across The New York Times, Financial Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, Reuters, Politico, The Hill, and more, the clear evidence of their control over the United States' economic warfare strategy against Iran became undeniable.
But as I dove deeper and deeper into tracking this pattern throughout this war on the economic warfare front, I also examined their control across ALL aspects of the Iran War strategy that has significantly contributed to the disaster we find ourselves in today.
From CEO Mark Dubowitz, to Senior Advisor Richard Goldberg, and Senior Fellow Miad Maleki, the evidence of FDD's undue influence and control in the Iran War has been laid out for you here today in a deep-dive video complete with extensive sourcing, screenshots, and comments.
Please, take the time to watch this video. I'm confident you will reach the same conclusion that I have:
An Israeli Lobbying group is running America's Iran War strategy... and failing miserably.

It is concerning to seem Trump seemingly buying into the revisionist history that the MOU was a “mistake”.
It wasn’t a mistake in any way, President Trump himself said he didn’t want to become Herbert Hoover.
The Neocons are attempting to sell him that he “can’t” negotiate with Iran… despite previously successfully negotiating for the MOU.
It was the United States that destroyed it.

He needs to be reminded that he doesn't ever make mistakes. He sat there in Versallies and signed his name to a document that, presumably, he approved before signing.
If he didn't approve of it, why did he sign? Is that admission that he was not fully in control?
If he did approve it, why are circumstances different, now that the American public have basically told him he should've stuck to the agreement and ended the damn war.
As the Iranian president said on the sidelines of UNGA this year, if the president won't respect his own signature, then how can we trust anything he signs or says?

NEW: The Trump Administration’s “status quo” option being pursued via the U.S. blockade and economic warfare campaign is inherently NOT “status quo”.
Each side is imposing increasing costs on one another, and Washington is well aware that Iran retains the stockpiles and capabilities to escalate severely as these prices mount for Tehran.
So if they know this… Why do they keep poking Iran?
My latest with @MeidasTouch
Is Trump being lured into a wider war with Iran?
A new analysis by @BrettErickson28 warns that the administration’s escalating economic warfare may be a Trojan horse designed to provoke the very Iranian military response it claims to want to avoid.
And even the hawks see the danger. meidasnews.com/news/no-war-n…

Tonight on the @ComicDaveSmith show:
I argue against the proposed new party/takeover/renaming of the LP for the upcoming presidential race.

THERE IS NO “STATUS QUO”
I was quoted by @BarakRavid in @axios on the growing risks of Trump's strategy toward Iran.
As I emphasized, Iran has no intention of accepting the current situation indefinitely. Washington may believe that economic strangulation will eventually force Tehran to surrender, but that is a fundamental misreading of the Iranian leadership.
The blockade is a means, not an end. Without a realistic diplomatic strategy, continued pressure is more likely to provoke Iranian escalation than capitulation.
The current status quo is simply unsustainable. The longer it continues, the greater the risk of another military confrontation that neither side necessarily wants.

President Trump has 2 more years to recover from the midterms. He should start now by getting out of the Iran war & removing everyone who advocated for it.
The neocons have damaged our nation & the GOP, as they did under Bush. Now is the time to remove them.

🧵Top Democrats are scrambling for excuses about why they can't stop Trump's Iran war now, while they plan to vote to fund Hegseth to continue it
They're accepting Fox News framing that listening to voters and stopping war funding is somehow a political loss... for Dems!?🧵🧵
NEW: Senior Dems resist shutdown threat to end Iran war.
“I want the war to end. Would shutting down the gov make that more likely, or would it just hand the Republicans a political victory while the war continues?” said Rep. Adam Smith

Iran continues to significantly underplay their hand in this war. They’ve NEVER “overplayed” it like many people tried to assert earlier in this war.

An exclusive @draagnet report from the ground in the besieged Gaza Strip where Israel’s brutal blockade has made the price of a cigarette lighter go from 25 cents to $50.
Since Israel took Gaza’s electrical grid off-line, lighters are the only way to cook food or heat milk for babies — @draagnet found that as many as ten families in Gaza City are sharing a single lighter.

NEW: Esmaeil Baqaei, the Spokesman for the Iranian Minstry of Foreign Affairs bringing the TROLL GAME.
What he says in this post however... is frankly spot-on.
The reality is that through the actions of the United States and Iran throughout this war, Iran has REPEATEDLY proven to be the more strategic, rational, and pragmatic actor. Calling a spade a spade here, they're also the more decent of the two sides throughout this war.
The Trump Administration's efforts to paint Iran as a country of mud hut-living, ideological extremists hellbent on martyrdom and Armageddon...
It doesn't hold water.
In its joint aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli regime, the United States committed not only abhorrent war crimes but also grave acts of state terrorism through the cowardly assassination of Iranian officials and scientists.
Now, through a coordinated disinformation campaign built around fabricated headlines of “Iranian terrorism,” Washington seeks to cast itself as the victim! It expects the world to ignore its own long record of aggression and terrorism, and to accept unsubstantiated claims of a 'terror plot'.
However, no amount of media frenzy can rewrite history, erase responsibility, or conceal the identity of those truly responsible for aggression, terrorism, and war crimes.

NOW: Mohsen Rezaee, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has just released a new statement that says:
“If the United States launches another war against Iran, every military base involved in the aggression - from West Asia to Europe - will be a legitimate target for Iran’s lethal strikes.”
While it should be noted that as the Secretary of the SNSC, Rezaee is a bit more aggressive in his tone and rhetoric, it should also be noted that he is playing an increasingly leading role in the negotiations with the United States.
This isn’t a particularly promising indicator of where negotiations currently stand…
