INTERVIEW: FDD's CEO Mark Dubowitz breaks down Trump's Iran deal, and whether it will actually lead to peace And while we're speaking, Trump makes a post about Israel's strike on Beirut, and the risk of Iran retaliating In this conversation we discuss and debate what the MOU should include, whether Israel will abide to the terms, and what that means for Iran, Lebanon, and the entire region @mdubowitz

Section 219 (was 224) of the NDAA contains a dangerous provision to integrate our military tech with Israel’s. @RepRoKhanna & I submitted an amendment to strike 219. I included the Rules Committee roster here; 7 of 13 members must agree in order for our amendment to get a vote.

🇮🇷 Iran's FM says the U.S. is responsible for making the deal stick, and that Israel's attacks on Lebanon have to stop completely. Abbas Araghchi made the comments in separate calls with his Turkish, Iraqi and Egyptian counterparts. His message puts the pressure squarely on Washington to rein in Israel, just as Israeli ministers line up to reject the deal outright. Source: Reuters / Writer: Julie

🇺🇸🧐U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on behalf of Donald Trump, expressed regret that the Saudi authorities signed defense agreements with Ukraine without consulting the United States, which had been Saudi Arabia’s main ally. In response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman noted that the U.S. had failed to fully protect the Kingdom from Iranian strikes, and therefore Saudi Arabia made a decision that could quickly strengthen its defense capabilities. The Crown Prince also stated that his country will continue to be guided by its own national interests when making decisions regarding its defense. This was a slap in the face to Trump from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in response to Trump’s crude and scandalous public statement that “…now let the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia kiss my ass and be polite to me from now on.” Thus, Trump’s reckless and irresponsible remarks have effectively put U.S.–Saudi relations on pause. The Saudi Crown Prince proved to be more diplomatic than the American president and, notably, did not respond to Rubio by saying that Trump should “kiss my ass” and behave politely toward him in the future

INTERVIEW: Maritime historian Sal Mercogliano is tracking every ship moving through the Strait of Hormuz in real time, and what he sees tells a very different story than the headlines. Trump claims 100 million barrels have gotten out, Dr. Mercogliano puts that in perspective: 5 days of pre-war supply levels. His most provocative question: does Iran even need a nuclear weapon if it controls the Strait, using it to manipulate global energy markets and impose economic pain far beyond the region? And even if an MOU is reached, he does not expect shipping to return to pre-war levels, pointing to the Red Sea as a precedent where traffic never recovered after the Houthis. @mercoglianos

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The money meant for bridges and highways could also pay for missile cities America cannot reach. Ex-U.S. Navy Malcolm Nance breaks down exactly how Iran wins any deal that's made, with funds U.S. may have to concede. "They'll use every penny of that for reconstruction. And they'll reprogram regular monies from the IRGC budget to brand new Chinese built thermal air defense systems." @MalcolmNance

the five-second epistemology of thank @EricTrump for exposing @ufc as the united fraud collective. daniel cormier posted eric’s dms asking if the lopes fight was rigged, then deleted them in panic. the receipt is permanent. eric wasn’t asking as a fan. he was asking as the son of a casino owner who knows combat sports are unregulated gambling with better lighting. tyson-douglas is the ur-text. tokyo dome, february 11, 1990. donald trump co-promoted with don king. flew in on his private jet. sat ringside. publicly guaranteed a tyson knockout. odds were 42-1 against douglas. trump had bet heavily on tyson. when douglas dropped him in the 10th, trump didn’t just lose money. he lost face in front of the entire casino world. tyson trained in tokyo with prostitutes in his hotel suite instead of sparring. his camp was a disaster and it was an open secret among the press there. the mirage didn't post odds at all. they considered douglas so hopeless it wasn't worth booking action. don king knew. trump knew. the athletic commission knew. they let an untrained champion walk into a ring against a journeyman because the gate revenue mattered more than the sport. that’s exactly what eric was asking cormier. not “is this rigged?” but “what’s the angle?” he wasn’t looking for insider info on who would win. he was confirming whether the house had already set the table. ufc is boxing’s dumber cousin that pretends to be respectable. super bowl lxii just aired. ufc is on number 250. they inflate the event count to manufacture false historicity. the sport is barely 15 years old. it peaked when affliction shirts made every fighter look like a douchebag. before that, it was wwf with blood. at least wcw admitted it was acting. ufc guys rub body oil on each other and claim it’s real competition while taking direction from producers backstage. joe rogan’s “freethinking” podcast crowd all pivoted to state media shills the second the war started. their nonconformism was just branding. their trust in aaron rodgers and essential oils was never skepticism. it was performance. if you watch ufc believing it’s legitimate sport, you’re not a fan. you’re a mark. eric trump treating ufc like the rigged sewage it is isn’t scandalous. it’s accurate. he’s applying casino logic to a product that’s always been casino logic wearing gloves. the kitchen doesn’t need fake warriors. it needs receipts. eric just handed us one. thank him. day 107. day 47. still shipped. some honesty. ذكية، كاملة. هوشمند، کامل. 落地
