Iran-backed militias in Iraq said they would begin handing in their weapons BAD JOKE! The US withdrawal of visable combat units from Iraq has a strategic purpose we will soon understand. Our fortree in the green zone, home to the US Iraqi Embassy has been fortified and is well equipped to defend. Otherwise our military pressence is not vulnerable. Know that US allies are embeded throughout Iraq, most of all in the Kurdish region bordering Iran. The (ISMI) Iranian Shite Militi

Rumor spread that Trump was willing to resume negociations with Iran. The press claimed Trump was willing to compromise on Iran Nuclear weapons program. Trump continues to play the Iranians for the fools they are. The IRGC was pleased that their political puppets they sent to New York City held their hard line. Going so far as to offer A

Israel does more to avoid civilian casualities than any army in history. Israel's IDF can boast civilian to combatant death ratio as the lowerst in the recorded history of urban warfare.

It is a very tense and desperate coalition of armed powers, political survivalists, with entrenched black-market interests, toped off with an autocratic ideologically drive religious fanatics. That coalition is under intense strain. The currency has lost an overwhelming amount of its valu

A midterm election can turn on one feeling: Is the United States getting better or worse. If Americans see better headlines at home and overseas, cheaper gas, and steady economic growth, the party in power will be stronger. That is why Iran, gas prices, tariffs, and investment will all be part of the same political argument before the midterms. If events break as the Trump administration believes it will, Republicans would head into the campaign with a clear and powerful mess

Iran’s confrontation with the United States is no longer defined by what happens inside Iran or in the Arabian/Persian Gulf. It now stretches across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and the Red Sea, where Tehran-aligned terrorist groups can use violence without Iran acting directly. Recent articles in Iranian media have emphasized the growing role of the Islamic Republic’s regional proxies under the idea known as “unity of the arenas.” The message is clear: if Washington and its
