- Best decision ever was to mute Elon Musk until he stops parroting Russian talking points.
- A few thoughts on the leaked intelligence report covered by @CNN: -Iran’s key nuke sites and materials are likely entombed for now—asset recovery will likely require extensive Iranian excavation efforts. -Israel and the U.S. could stop such efforts via additional targeted
- Iran is relocating its enriched uranium stocks for protection against Israeli strikes and will not tell the UN’s nuclear watchdog where, the nation’s deputy foreign minister said Saturday. The move is a breach of Tehran’s legal obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
- It’s exceedingly interesting that many who routinely claimed Iran had no nuclear weapons program—are suddenly convinced Tehran has a more rapid path to nuclear weapons than ever.
- Goes almost without saying, but Iran’s mask is slipping that it can responsibly retain enrichment or needs it for civil purposes. These moves will greatly enhance its ability to build many more nuclear weapons quickly—and that figure is currently at 22.
Good for the IAEA board in standing firm against Iran’s NPT violations… finally. On Iran’s retributive actions: --Iran has been planning to replace IR-1’s with IR-6’s at Fordow for some time. This may not take long depending on its current stock. -On the enrichment site - .@SteveWitkoff, respectfully, this is a collapse of the U.S. position and no better than the Obama-Biden deal. The lesson from the JCPOA is that tolerating Iran’s enrichment to 3.67%, leaving key facilities and capabilities intact means they can ratchet up at any time.

The regime has every incentive to dash to nuclear weapons using whatever they have left and must be stopped.🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Senior Israeli officials held discussions with top Trump administration officials, expressing interest in U.S. participation in a strike on nuclear facilities. "We hope this will ultimately come to pass," an Israeli source told @Jerusalem_Post.
- The French are evacuating American citizens from Sudan because apparently the administration won’t get involved, will only kindly advise on “best practices.” Via @politico #NatSecDaily @alexbward
- I invite these folks to go live in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and report back.Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States. The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and
00:00 - Iran. Just. Attacked. Americans.In a call with reporters, a State Department official rejected criticism that tonight's moves reward Iran's bad behavior. "These are not concessions to Iran. These are concessions to common sense."
- Israel has done the world and Syrian people a huge service, if true.🚨BREAKING🚨 N12 is reporting that the IDF attacked the Assad regime's chemical weapons stockpiles - so that it would not get into the hands of the rebels in the places they managed to conquer.
- The man has some kind of courage.Less than 48 hours after his arrest in Russia, @Navalny releases a new, major, investigation into the corrupt money that funds Vladimir Putin's excesses, including details of the massive palace complex he's built for himself (with English subtitles) youtube.com/watch?v=ipAnwi…
