The drunkard and rapist, Pete Hegseth who quoted a line from the character Jules in the movie Pulp Fiction thinking it was an actual bible quote, is by far the worst individual to ever be appointed into public trust.

The drunkard Pete Hegseth is the best US Secretary of Defense Iran could've ever wanted.

There is no harm in taking security precautions. A head of state is entitled to protection, and responsible governments cannot simply expose their leaders to assassination. But the episode raises a much deeper question—one that goes beyond Trump, Iran or the politics of retaliation.

That question becomes particularly explosive when this episode is placed beside the accounts of the final days of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to reports, when he was warned of an American threat to assassinate him and was urged to move to a safer location, he refused to abandon his position. His reasoning was simple: how could he seek personal safety while the Iranian people themselves remained exposed to danger?

There could hardly be a more striking contrast.

One leader is whisked away under the cover of secrecy because death may be approaching in a container. The other refuses to go into hiding despite repeated requests because he considered the fate of his people inseparable from his own.

This is not merely a story about security. It is a story about leadership. It is a story about the difference between wielding power and becoming the embodiment of a cause.

Iran tactically defeated Israel. Donald Trump had to warn Israel to back off further strikes. There is a reason why Iran is called ancient Persia. They've been around the block for a while. Nothing shakes them.

With over 60% of Republicans and Democrats now having a negative view of Israel, I think Israel just shot itself in the foot.

Point of clarification: Iran, a country that has been heavily sanctioned for 47 years, has tactically and strategically defeated the 'Almighty, United States and Israel. Let that sink in!

The Empire's era of invincibility is over, Forever.

Not Russian. Not Chinese.

A fully homegrown Iranian system—the QAEM 2—is what tracked and struck that F-35.

The myth of invincibility is over. For the first time in history, a 5th generation American stealth fighter—the F-35—has been shot down, brought down by Iran's domestically produced Qaem 2 defense system. Built from scratch by Iranian engineers during MAXIMUM sanctions.

Let that sink in!

The fact that the president of a Zionist state has fallen into such a situation—where he is forced to prove that he is ‘alive’—indicates that the psychological superiority has shifted in favor of Iran.

BREAKING : Trump has finally accepted his defeat against Iran

“Iran is a nation of GREAT POWER. TREMENDOUS POWER 🔥

No one expected them to attack the gulf states. We were shocked”

“Israel will go first, without question. And they'll certainly take a shot at us.”

chatinent:
Iran is no match for the US.

If it's Israel, that's a different case but not the US.

Vietnam & Afghanistan were no match for US either, yet they forced US to turn tail and run.

With Iran, US is already in a preparatory stage of running, but Iran say "no way, dis fight wey you (US) start so, we must finish am"

Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi:

Trump recently appeared, announcing his desire to end the war and claiming victory. Netanyahu immediately contacted him, after which Trump stated that the ceasefire would be coordinated with Netanyahu.

Iran denied that a ceasefire had been reached, but stated that there were mediation efforts—Russian, French, and Chinese—to halt the fighting, and that these efforts emerged after Putin's call to Trump.

Press sources analyze Iran's conditions for ending the war as follows:

1. Guarantees to prevent future attacks.

2. Inclusion of Lebanon in any agreement; Iran will not be bound by any ceasefire that does not include Lebanon.

3- No more negotiations with America regarding its nuclear program. Trump betrayed them twice during negotiations (a reference to accepting European, Russian, or Chinese mediation) as international parties, and Oman and Egypt as regional parties.

4- Complete adherence to the triad (peaceful nuclear program + missile program + right to resistance) and absolutely no negotiation on them.

Just now, some Democratic members of Congress stated that the Secretaries of Defense and State, Pete Higgseth and Marco Rubio, will appear immediately before Congress for a public hearing (a legal and parliamentary trial of the war).

The Trump administration will most likely be held accountable by its opponents for the failure of the war and this resounding defeat.

Trump and Netanyahu declared their objectives for the aggression: (overthrowing the Iranian regime + eliminating the nuclear program + eliminating the ballistic missile program + installing a pro-Israel regime in Tehran). None of this has been achieved.

The Iranian conditions are sacrosanct to the new Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and he will not compromise on them. This is an opportunity for a strong Iranian resurgence and to compensate for the losses of the axis. Two years,

What's your opinion?

otipoju:
Do they have the firepower to enforce.

Na the major issue be that.

Yeah, let's test that theory. Who's country tanker is first to volunteer to test if Iran has the firepower to enforce?

Trump told its allies to "show some guts." and cross the straits with their tanker. Any takers on that dare?

The "Found Out" phase is still open for business. And so far, no one is itching to be a martyr for Trump's "show some guts" challenge.

President Trump spoke on the phone with Russian president Vladimir Putin Monday and discussed ending the war with Iran and the efforts to end the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin said.

Why it matters: This was the first call between Trump and Putin since the beginning of the war with Iran.

Russia is a key ally of Iran and U.S. officials are concerned it is helping the Iranians in their war effort.

Trump downplayed that scenario, but White House envoy Steve Witkoff told reporters on Saturday that he has communicated to Russian officials that they shouldn't share any intelligence with Iran.

Driving the news: Putin's foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov told Russian reporters that the call lasted around an hour and was "frank" and "businesslike."

He claimed Putin presented Trump with "several proposals" for ending the war with Iran.
