🇺🇸🇮🇱 "THE U.S. AND ISRAEL DECAPITATED IRAN"

Geopolitical analyst and frequent Middle East commentator Trita Parsi breaks down what he calls the step-by-step strategy to bring Iran’s regime to collapse, and why a war now feels "inevitable."

"There’s a perception now that war with Iran is no big deal, like the cost is lower than ever before.

But what comes after? A new democracy, or chaos, civil war, refugee waves, and collapse that spills into Türkiye, Iraq, and Europe?

Israel’s actions across 7 or 9 countries since 2023 have scared the Gulf states. Now they’re realizing the U.S. alliance doesn’t protect them from Israel.

That’s why we’re suddenly seeing talk of a Turkey, Saudi, Pakistan alignment, not to defend Iran, but to balance Israel’s growing regional power."

Mario Nawfal: 🇮🇷 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

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRANIAN FM BEGS FOR DIPLOMACY... BUT WHY?!

Iran’s FM Araghchi just pleaded with Trump to back off and go for diplomacy.

But hold up... They’re also accusing Trump of starting a hybrid war and hinting they might send a sniper to kill him, all while still killing protesters in cold blood.

What else would they say unless it’s just deflection or a lie to buy time?

The regime’s clearly scrambling as the death toll keeps climbing.

My Prediction: Trump's comments just now talking about Iran stopping the killings does NOT mean he's changing his mind. To me, it means he's already given the order to attack, and it's already in progress.

He did the same thing before the 12-day war. Remember?

"We have been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, it has stopped.

There is no plan for executions.

I have been told that, we will find out about it."

Is he reconsidering whether to strike Iran and looking for an out?

🇮🇷 Seems you're not alone. According to the WSJ, senior EU dimplomats are "utterly confused" about Trump's plans 😂

This confusion and unpredicability btw is an asset for any leader. The element of surprise is a massive advantage, just check Sun Tzu's The Art of War:

"All warfare is based on deception."
"Strike when they do not expect it"
"Attack where they are unprepared"
"Appear weak when strong, strong when weak"

Don't forget what he did before the 12 days war. This should give you his playbook.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 ACCORDING TO IRAN, KILLING PROTESTERS IS FAIR GAME: "BLAME ISRAEL AND THE U.S."

Iranian commander Mohammad Pakpour just went on state TV to accuse the U.S. and Israel of masterminding Iran's nationwide protests.

He said what they're doing is a "hybrid war" plot.

Pakpour is bragging that Iran's military is primed for a "decisive" smackdown on any "enemy miscalculation."

Even if that conspiracy held ANY water, how does it justify the regime's wholesale slaughter of unarmed protesters, including kids and elders?

Or are they spinning it like every single victim is some secret Mossad operative?

This reeks of desperate deflection as the death toll climbs past thousands.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN’S REGIME HAS NO REAL SUPPORT LEFT, BUT FEAR KEEPS IT ALIVE

Iran’s government has basically lost all legitimacy, and now sanctions are crippling it hard.

It’s weak and hollow, but still organized, and millions depend on it to function day to day.

People are scared of what comes next. A return to monarchy? Civil war that never ends?

So a lot of people stick with a broken system, because unkown chaos feels worse than the status quo.

🇮🇷🇮🇶 IRAQI MILITIAS ARE ROLLING INTO IRAN TO KILL MORE PEOPLE

Hundreds of Iraqi fighters have crossed into Iran, posing as pilgrims, but they’re really there to help the regime shut down the uprising.

Sources say around 800 from groups like Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat al-Nujaba are already inside, locking down cities and targeting protesters.

Wild how Iran fought off Saddam for 8 years, just to hand the streets over to foreign militias now.

President Donald J. Trump speaking earlier to reporters in the Oval Office about the recent anti-government protests and brutal crackdowns in Iran, as well as the possibility of military action against Iran by the United States.

Trump: “They [Iran] said people were shooting at them with guns and they were shooting back and you know, it's one of those things- but they told me that there'll be no executions and so I hope that's true.”

Reporter: “Does this mean military action is now off the table against Iran?”

Trump: “We're going to watch and see what the process is but we were given a very good statement by people that are aware of what’s going on.”

The British Embassy in Tehran is on temporary lockdown with the bulk of staff withdrawn, all due to the raging civil unrest and spiking US-Iran drama.

This piles on as countries like the US, Canada, Italy, and Poland yell for their folks to GTFO, with personnel dipping from Qatar bases too.
