🇮🇷 DOZENS OF SHIPS BACK OFF FROM IRANIAN PORTS

Cargo ships have been parking just outside Iran’s ports lately, keeping their distance.

It’s a safety move in case airstrikes hit nearby. Nobody wants to get caught in the middle.

Iran relies heavily on sea trade, so if this keeps up, it could mess with business fast.

The thing about the Salem witch trials was that both men and women were accused and both men and women were the accusers. Those who prefer victim/oppressor narratives will never acknowledge this, though. Or even care enough to look into it.

The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an updated travel advisory urging Poles to immediately leave and recommending against any and all travel to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 IRANIAN SHIP LINKED TO RUSSIA ARMS ROUTES JUST SANK IN THE CASPIAN SEA

An Iranian cargo ship called Rona went down in the Caspian Sea after sending a distress call.

Turkmenistan’s coast guard pulled all 14 crew members to safety.

The ship had been flagged last year for running routes used to send weapons from Iran to Russia.

No one’s saying what was on board this time.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. AIRCRAFT LEAVING QATAR BASE: SAME PATTERN SEEN BEFORE STRIKES ON IRAN

About a dozen U.S. refueling planes at Al Udeid Air Base are being packed up or already gone.

Same thing happened last June, right before the U.S. hit Iran’s nuclear sites.

Feels like the same playbook.

🚨🇱🇧🇮🇶 HEZBOLLAH AND IRAQI MILITIA ARE READY TO BACK THE IRAN REGIME

Hezbollah and Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi militias say they’re ready to head into Iran and help “handle” the protests.

Right now, Iranians are out in the streets with basically nothing, facing a regime that’s killing them by the thousands.

If these outside groups get involved, it’s pretty clear the regime’s fine ruling over a pile of bodies if that’s what it takes.

“If Iran attacks, there will be no additional round, we will act to bring down the regime,” an Israeli security official told Channel 12 (N12).

🇮🇷 EMERGENCY INTERVIEW: U.S. TO STRIKE IRAN - WHAT COMES NEXT

It’s almost definite now, Trump is planning to strike Iran. The only question is: What’s his objective?

Is it a complete regime change, or a Venezuela-like goal to replace the Supreme Leader with a more lenient member of the same regime?

If it’s the former, then Iran, and the region, are in deep trouble.

My guest today, Quincy Institute’s Trita Parsi, escaped Iran during the 1979 revolution, and his family has been targeted and jailed by both the current regime and the previous Monarchy.

He breaks down the repercussions of a regime change, how Iran will retaliate to U.S. strikes, and the increasing risk of a civil was in the country.

He also makes a very interesting point: Iran is at the mercy of Israeli ambitions (the destruction of the current regime and the country’s military capabilities) and American/Gulf ambitions (a stable regime with possibly a new leader more friendly to the West).

I enjoyed this interview as Trita, an expert in the region, does not take sides. He’s very critical of the current regime, not a fan of the previous one, and thinks any American strikes on the country could have devastating consequences.

We both agreed: The current regime is terrible, but a regime change may end up being worse if not executed properly and carefully.

03:25 – The protests in Iran were not the trigger for war planning; if anything, they delayed it.

04:02 – The original justification for attacking Iran came from Israeli concerns over missile threats, not internal unrest.

06:41 – The roots of Iran's current instability lie in sanctions that intentionally devastated the middle class.

09:16 – Some Iranians now view outside military intervention as the only path to regime change due to desperation.

11:32 – Gulf states are alarmed by Israeli aggression and fear instability from regime collapse, despite opposing Iran.

14:13 – A power vacuum in Iran could lead to civil war, refugee flows, and wider regional destabilization.

17:24 – Saudi, Turkey, and Pakistan may be quietly forming a bloc to counterbalance Israeli hegemony in the region.

20:11 – Iran’s fractured opposition lacks strength partly because sanctions crushed the middle class that fuels reform.

23:17 – Reza Pahlavi has grown closer to Israel, leading to division and backlash within the exile opposition.

25:07 – Monarchist support in Iran is hard to quantify—some chants back him, others reject him outright.

26:09 – Pahlavi says he wants democracy, but critics argue his conduct and followers cast doubt on that claim.

31:50 – Trita Parsi’s family fled Iran before the revolution; both the Shah and the Islamic Republic persecuted them.

34:24 – Iran’s internet blackout has cut off communications, and exact casualty numbers remain unclear.

37:10 – Hundreds of regime security forces have also been killed, suggesting an unprecedented level of resistance.

39:42 – Kurdish separatist groups may be exploiting the unrest, but aren't representative of the broader protest movement.

43:32 – Israel may see Iran’s total collapse as a strategic goal, even if it causes long-term regional chaos.

45:28 – Sanctions have historically made democratic transitions harder by weakening civil society more than regimes.

47:16 – US interests differ from Israel’s: Washington may want regime change, but not a failed or fragmented state.

50:23 – A Maduro-style solution could be attempted, but unlike Venezuela, the US has fewer internal contacts in Iran.

51:39 – Israel may push for not just regime change but destruction of Iran’s entire military infrastructure.
