  1. So much for the ceasefire
  2. Trying to reconcile this post from Iran’s spokesman with the reports of attacks on multiple bases in Iraq.
  3. Good post. You may enjoy this deep dive on how recent events have impacted the influence of Russia and China in the region: https://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/israel-zionism/2025/06/how-the-u-s-attack-on-iran-hurts-russia-and-china
  4. From the reports out of Tehran, Israel is getting every lick they can in up to the last minute.
  5. I posted that one earlier, Amit Segal has great sources in the Israeli government so let’s hope he’s right. Very positive if true.
  6. A timely reminder that Tucker Carlson is batshit crazy:
  7. Well this should be interesting. . .
  8. Since it seems like you haven’t heard of Soleimani before, I’d recommend this long profile on him by Dexter Filkins in the Atlantic from 2013. He was an undeniably bad dude. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/09/30/the-shadow-commander
  9. If you’ve been paying attention, that’s all basic stuff
  10. Soleimani was the mastermind behind Iranian attacks on American soldiers in Iraq, especially in the production and distribution of EFP’s that killed and maimed thousands of Americans. His assassination crippled IRGC efforts across the region and likely saved many lives, including those of Americans, from Iranian-backed terrorism. It also disrupted the operations of Iranian proxy networks who depended on Soleimani’s experience and strategy, preventing complex, high impact attacks. The strike was made after recent provocations by Iran on American interests (2019 attack on US base in Iraq, and on American Embassy in Baghdad) and re-established deterrence against Iran from further actions. TL;DR Soleimani was their best General, responsible for thousands of American casualties, and his death weakened Iran’s ability to project power on the interests of America and its allies.
  11. Holy shit, Chris Murphy is stealing your material!
  12. Merz weighing in:
  13. What the hell kind of war for oil is this?!?!?
