What if the US had stayed in the JCPOA? @StrickerNonpro and @mdubowitz's new interactive visual charts Iran's real enrichment buildup against the expansion the deal would have permitted. Explore the timeline ⬇️ fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

Rather than rewarding Tbilisi’s reset rhetoric, Washington should consider additional targeted sanctions against Georgian Dream officials responsible for democratic backsliding, political repression, and deepening alignment with U.S. adversaries: fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

In 2022, Washington and Amman signed a 7-year MOU. Using this agreement, Washington should strengthen Amman’s partnership with Jerusalem in efforts to counter Tehran and expand intelligence sharing, explain @AhmadA_Sharawi and @therealBehnamBT: fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

Teacher education programs at public universities should be transparent about what they teach future educators. Foreign influence needs to stop permeating American K-12 education, gaining access to our children and shaping their worldviews for years to come—@SimoneJWei & @NomiFried: washingtontimes.com/news/202…

Books that speak the truth and break taboos, sometimes at great cost to the author, are the ones to read— especially in the Arab world. We are incredibly proud of our friend, @hahussain, for his latest book, “The Arab Case for Israel” that dismantled the taboos and misinformation about peace in the Middle East. @SehnaouiAntoun

As I explain in a new @washexaminer article “What people tend to miss is Erdogan is doing this to become independent of the West,” 🇹🇷, Ciddi argued, “maintaining these relationships with the West, [is] not to augment the capabilities of the NATO alliance and NATO priorities and concerns, but really to use that as a springboard to drive forward his own agenda of expansionism and revisionism in that part of the world.” washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

For the first time since 2006, Iran is not enriching uranium and has no operating enrichment plants. @StrickerNonpro and @mdubowitz's new interactive timeline shows how Tehran got here — and why the strikes set the program back further than diplomacy ever did. fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

A phase 1 deal, technically an MoU, btwn the US & Iran is closer than ever. But we’ve heard this before, so why is now different, and what are the political forces driving and dampening these prospects? I joined Nicky Schiller on @BBCWorld earlier today to discuss.

The 2025-2026 strikes did what diplomacy couldn't: no operating enrichment plants in Iran for the first time since 2006. The next agreement must lock that in — full, verified dismantlement. New interactive timeline from @StrickerNonpro and @mdubowitz ⬇️ fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

$84.6 billion in defense. $246 billion in aviation and infrastructure. $8.8 billion in U.S. universities. Qatar's footprint in America is vast, methodical, and underexamined. For the full dataset, check out @NatalieEcanow's new visual: fdd.org/qatarmoneyusa/?utm_c…

📈 NEW interactive from @StrickerNonpro and @mdubowitz: Track Iran's nuclear enrichment from the late 1990s through the 2025-2026 strikes that destroyed most of Tehran's program. See how stockpiles grew across 4 administrations — and what the JCPOA would have allowed. fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

Lawmakers have begun pushing for transparency in the foreign funding of schools in Georgia and Florida, which is a good start. However, no laws at the state or federal level prohibit foreign influence, explain @SimoneJWei & @NomiFried: washingtontimes.com/news/202…

Remember, Mr. President, down-blending and letting Iran keep the material is a reversible constraint. You must dismantle all enrichment infrastructure, and destroy or remove all LEU and HEU material.

Georgia, once Washington’s closest partner in the post-Soviet space, is deepening its strategic alignment with China. President Xi Jinping and Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili announced the two elevated bilateral relations to a “comprehensive strategic partnership.” fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/12/…

As foreign minister and VP under Maduro, interim President Delcy Rodríguez helped build Venezuela's ties with U.S. adversaries. Despite pressure from Washington to orient toward the West, she's reinvigorating relationships with middle powers, writes @realSamuelBenUr: fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/11/…

.@MahyarTousi asked where things could stand 60 days from now. @therealBehnamBT noted that the administration has begun using the word "dismantlement" when discussing the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, a term that implies far more than limits or inspections. It means physically taking apart key infrastructure. His assessment: the crisis is far from over, and if Tehran overplays its hand, the current standoff could return to open confrontation much sooner than many expect.

FDD’s @therealBehnamBT says the fuel shortages now being reported across Iran are evidence that the pressure campaign is having a real impact. According to Taleblu, the Islamic Republic’s oil exports fell from roughly 2.1 million barrels per day before the blockade to just 64,000 barrels per day in May. Combined with strikes on energy infrastructure, the regime is now facing pressure on multiple fronts. As long lines form at petrol stations across Iran, the economic consequences are becoming harder to hide.
