🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Trump told Israel they must get in line or fight alone, something no U.S. president since Reagan has said to an Israeli PM. Fmr. USMC Captain Matthew Hoh says if Israel bombs Beirut again, Iran won't retaliate militarily. They'll just close the Strait and let economic pressure force Trump to handle Netanyahu himself. @MatthewPHoh @realazadeh
🇺🇸🇮🇷 8 more Americans died yesterday in a B-52 test flight and the deal being signed is essentially what Iran offered before the war began. Iraq War veteran Matthew Hoh asks a simple but damning question Americans have been asking since the war he fought in: What is this for? 3,500 Iranians. 4,000 Lebanese. At least 14 U.S. service members. But what did all this bloodshed accomplish? @MatthewPHoh @realazadeh

This bears no relation to reality. Even 🇺🇸 intelligence publicly stated that there were no signs of 🇮🇷 developing nuclear weapons. I’m sure 🇮🇱 intelligence behind closed doors said the same.

After Bari Weiss's "The Free Press" wrote last week that the Trump admin had opened a probe into Trita Parsi that could lead to his deportation, the State Department refuted the claim just hours later. Trita Parsi responds to the "unusual" situation. ⬇️

Trump criticizes Israel's methods in Lebanon: You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you are looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those houses, and they are not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you.

After the Free Press ran that hit piece on my claiming the State Department was trying to deport me, @TuckerCarlson messaged me to invite me onto his show. He had read my Substack explaining the backstory and wanted to get deeper into both that issue and the war, the negotiations, and Israel's role in US-Iran tensions. We taped it this morning up in Maine, and Tucker put it up on his Twitter and YouTube just a few hours ago. youtube.com/watch?v=BeScodaL…

🔴İspanyol Dışişleri Bakanı: ▪️İtalya ve Almanya, Avrupa Birliği ile İsrail arasındaki Ortaklık Anlaşması'nın askıya alınmasını engelliyor. ▪️Ukrayna söz konusu olduğunda Almanya ahlaki bir bekçi gibi davranıyor, ancak Filistin söz konusu olduğunda üç maymunu oynuyor. Almanya ikiyüzlü ve acınası bir devlettir.

Kudos to Trump — he managed to make a deal with Iran! It’s good for the world, good for the markets, and frankly, good for him politically. EVERYONE is happy about that deal. Everyone except one man — and his name is Bibi Netanyahu. For him, the peace deal simply doesn’t exist — he’s planning to keep doing what he’s doing. Will it collapse the deal? I hope not!

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna teaming up again, they dropped an amendment to kill Section 219 of the NDAA It would lock U.S. military tech deeper with Israel (AI, cyber, directed energy, etc.). Massie says they’re a sovereign country and doesn’t want the integration. Needs 7/13 on Rules Committee to even get a vote. Wild bipartisan push. Writers: Lucas, Oliver
🇺🇸🇮🇱 Rep. Thomas Massie is going out guns blazing Today, on the 59th anniversary of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty, he spoke about it on the House floor: "Planes came from Israel to surveil the ship, and what happened next surprised them all. Jets showed up, and for 25 minutes, they attacked the USS Liberty. They shot rockets, they shot 30mm canons into it, they even dropped napalm on the bridge of the ship. This was an effort to kill everyone on board. Then the torpedo boats showed up; they launched four torpedoes. It was intentional murder by the state of Israel." Israel may have taken his seat from him, but he's using the time he has left to go for them full-bore. Writer: Ian x.com/ShadowofEzra/status/20…

BOMBSHELL: Expert Aaron David Miller confirms Gulf nations are furious at Israel and deeply resent Washington for starting this disastrous war. The conflict shattered the region's economy. Oman and Qatar already cut deals with Tehran, abandoning the US-Zionist alliance!
🚨 WOW! Expert Aaron David Miller exposes Netanyahu's massive humiliation. No US President has ever spoken so profanely about an Israeli leader. Netanyahu is trapped and desperately needs Trump to save his career. The Zionist regime is entirely dependent on Washington!

And this is exactly how you lose younger male voters, actually a lot more than that demographic. Send in police to haul off an actual American UFC Champion because he used his 1st amendment and criticized Israel.
Sean Strickland just got SWARMED by cops and hauled away after sneaking into the UFC White House event 😳💀

Yasin Ayari scores for Sweden against Tunisia. His father Azzouz is Tunisian, yet encouraged his son to represent Sweden. Ayari initially wanted to pick Tunisia when they asked him to switch allegiance in 2021, but his father insisted on Sweden because the country “welcomed and developed him”.🇸🇪

The war with Iran has led to the largest oil supply disruption in global history. Can the world use the crisis to support a green energy transition? In fact, that transition may have already begun:

Leading medical journal The Lancet publishes call to expel Israeli Medical Association over Gaza genocide —— Medical journal The Lancet has published a petition calling for the Israeli Medical Association to be boycotted and expelled from the World Medical Association over its failure to condemn what the petition describes as Israel's genocide against Palestinians and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system. The campaign, launched by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, and Doctors for Gaza, has so far received support from more than 1,150 healthcare professionals and medical organizations. The call for expulsion is expected to be raised at the World Medical Association's general assembly in October. The Israeli Medical Association opposed the move, arguing that its expulsion would not advance peace, healthcare, or human rights, and would instead create a precedent for using political pressure campaigns to isolate healthcare workers based on their nationality.

A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children. He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own. In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone. “It was the end of the world. The end of the world.” “I felt imprisoned.” “They took my freedom.” “They took my livelihood.” “They took my land.”

With or without Israel’s retaliation, Iran wasn’t going to give Trump a Sunday MOU birthday present. Just as Iran wouldn’t release hostages until Carter was no longer President, they have their own clock; and it’s not ticking on US time. You have the clock; we have the time.
Trump on Truth Social: This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter

🇮🇱🇱🇧Has Netanyahu just blown up the U.S-Iran peace deal... again?!? Both Israeli Defense Minister Katz and Netanyahu confirmed the strike, saying Israel "will not tolerate fire directed at its territory." It came after Hezbollah had launched drones into northern Israel, but none of them caused significant damage or casualties. However, Netanyahu has been under increasing pressure to strike Beirut after he was criticized for the terms of the deal between Iran and the U.S. He knows it's a red line for Iran and will likely kill any hope of the deal being signed today, which conveniently saves Netanyahu from further losses in the polls and keeps the war in Lebanon going. What a birthday present for Trump Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Ian
🇮🇱🇱🇧The IDF just released a statement and footage of today's airstrike on Beirut, which they claimed was a "precision strike" targeting Hezbollah headquarters: "The headquarters that was struck served the terrorists of the Hezbollah terror organization for advancing terror plots against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon. The strike was carried out after earlier today, the Hezbollah terror organization launched aerial targets toward the territory of the State of Israel." Writer: Ian x.com/idfonline/status/20661…
