⚠️ What does a countdown to war actually look like?
Seyed Mohammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) warns that any U.S. strike on Iran would be "an act of desperation" that would trigger a major Iranian response and send shockwaves through the global economy.
He argues Tehran has spent months preparing for this scenario, expanding missile production so rapidly that it is reportedly "having trouble storing missiles."
Watch this critical warning before the next step is taken.

Because there are ZERO options for President Trump that end up in an American success. He foreclosed that option when he launched the war last February. It was a no-win situation from the beginning, and now the only question that remains:
How bad will the loss end up?

None of the options in front of Trump offer a clear route to American victory. As things carry on, the American people will need persausive explanations of the strategy and clear justifications of the cost. My latest @TheFP... 8/8

If this is an accurate photograph reflecting current reality in Israel today, america’s military leadership is incompetent, and literally begging Iran to launch a preemptive strike against us.
If these refueling aircraft are taken out in mass, virtually the entirety of our air campaign falls apart before it even gets started.
Of course, I’m wholeheartedly against launching any new attack against Iran — because it is doomed to failure — but placing all of our most important operational assets wingtip to wingtip within range of Iranian missiles? Insanity!

Just one more bizarre twist to the madness that passes for normality in Washington DC:
President Trump exposes he has no clue what to do about the Iran war – from a Halloween party, while his vice president is dressed in a silly costume for kids.
We are on the brink of the most momentous war-peace decision any American president has made since the D-Day invasion in 1944, and they’re parting like children…
It is no exaggeration to say that if Trump gives the order to strike here, our interests could be catastrophically impacted, and we could be harmed to a degree from which we may never recover fully.
And this is how serious our top 2 leaders are about the situation…

No, of course you’re right, Mr. President. War is only your personal decision to make. Why would We, the People have any say in whether u thrust us (back) into a war?
Sure, the constitution requires u to submit to the will of the people and get authorization *before* striking, but that’s so old fashion.
No, go ahead and b a military autocratic who cannot b questioned by the public on questions related to plunging the nation into war.
Neither our lives nor the rule of law matter to you.

🇺🇸⚡️— Journalist: Do you expect to return to war with Iran soon, perhaps this week?
Trump: Why would you ask such a stupid question? Let's assume I would, do you think I'd tell you?
Show more
Pure fantasy. This dystopian disconnection from combat reality and a basic understanding of the correlation of forces, dooms the United States to a catastrophic outcome, if war is reengaged.
US President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are "going fine" and "They wanna make a deal, we will see if they make a deal".
When asked if he would order renewed strikes on Iran, he called the question "stupid".

This is near economic suicide for the United States, if this report proves true, and and we attack Iran again.
Three days, seven days of attacks?
And no one’s even asking the critical question, the most important question of all: AND THEN WHAT???
What happens after you unload the remainder of your long range strike missiles, burn through the rest of your PAC3 interceptors, and then what? What if Iran doesn’t surrender? What if the SOH remains closed? What then, Mr President?
All you will have done by renewing the war is guarantee a horizontal expansion of the war, an escalation, and a deepening of the cost – and *still no way out.*
Restarting the war with no plausible path to success and no path to exit would be a malpractice of the highest order, and should definitely result in an impeachment and removal from office.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP’S IRAN AIR WAR COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY OR MONDAY
Axios reports Washington and Israel are preparing for a bombing campaign lasting up to seven days against Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities, energy sites and other infrastructure.
Ten U.S. cargo planes from Fort Bliss have reportedly landed at Israeli air bases, American tankers are already positioned in Israel, and a carrier group with roughly 9,000 personnel is only days away.
Gulf states have reportedly been told to prepare for a short, intense campaign.
The plan resembles Instant Thunder at Trump speed, compressing the five-ring targeting logic associated with the 1991 Gulf War into days.
Iran has spent 35 years studying how the U.S. fights these wars, and it has already rehearsed possible retaliation against Kuwait’s water infrastructure, Saudi oil facilities and Riyadh’s airport.
A seven-day air war could therefore produce economic consequences lasting for months.
Even if the U.S. and Israel want a quick war, Iran has every incentive to escalate horizontally and prolong the conflict to impose maximum economic and political costs on American voters.
That means higher risks for oil prices, gas bills, mortgage rates, retirement accounts and financial markets well into the spring.
We could even be heading toward a global recession.

⚠️US Policy May Have Just Created the Nuclear Iran It Feared Most
In this clip from Daniel Davis Deep Dive, I argue that decades of pressure, military action, and the abandonment of diplomatic agreements may have pushed Tehran closer to seeking the very nuclear deterrent Washington wanted to prevent.
We may have gone over the Rubicon. If that's true, the consequences for U.S. strategy, Middle East stability, and global security could be enormous.
Watch this clip before the next crisis unfolds.

We should not consider this pure bluster. Tho it could b. I remember Saddam promised to give us “the mother of all battles” and produced only a whimper.
But Iran has proven missiles that can penetrate our air defenses. What is the “horn” of US power more than aircraft carriers?
We need to b very very cautious (and the best way to protect our carriers is NOT to restart the Iran war).

Iran will not abandon its seven conditions for deal with US, envoy says
I will keep calling this out every time Secretary of State Rubio does it:
It is the United States who literally bragged, on central command official X account, of sending missiles “down the smokestack“ of civilian Iranian tankers because we didn’t like what they did on our blockade. It is tit for tat. We do it, Iran does it.
Trump himself claimed bragged about being “pirates” because of all the ships we were stopping.
You may have forgotten about that, Mr. Secretary, or want us to forget about it, but I will not stay silent.
These grotesque double standards may work with your biggest supporters, but they destroy our reputation around the world, and harm American interests.

I seriously hope some modus vivendi between US and Iran can forestall a destructive resumption of war around the US midterms, but I’m also reminded that we were doing diplomacy before June 2025, February 2026, and June 2026 (with the MOU), and ruined all of them, plunging back into/back into war each time.
Color me skeptical this one works (tho earnestly hoping it does)…

Marandi: Iran Expects War and Is Already Preparing for It
⚠️ Is the Middle East moving closer to a catastrophic major escalation?
Seyed Mohammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) says Iran's leadership, military, and much of the public now operate under the assumption that conflict is increasingly likely.
"The chance for (renewed) war is very high."
He warns that Iran's armed forces are on full alert, assets have been dispersed to reduce vulnerability, and retaliation plans are already in place “If infrastructure is attacked, then Iran will go after infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and in Israel.”
Such a retaliation could cripple oil and gas production throughout the Middle East, setting the region back years — devastating the global economy w loss of energy and global agriculture w loss of fertilizers and sulphur
Watch the full exchange from “What a Countdown to War Looks Like”, the window for diplomacy is closing fast.

🚨🇺🇸 Marco Rubio just gave the G20 a pretty GRIM WARNING:
The global economy is under SERIOUS pressure, and the world's biggest powers are running out of room to ignore it.
Wars are disrupting oil supplies, threatening food security and putting some of the world's most important shipping routes at risk.
Rubio called it a “moment of choosing.”
“We are facing a series of interconnected economic and geopolitical crises, many of which pose severe threats to essential foundations of the global economic order.”
And the divisions were on full display in Atlanta, where European diplomats even objected to taking a group photo with Russia's Sergey Lavrov.
Getting the world's biggest economies to agree on how to fix any of this might be a crisis of its own.

No, Jim @JimHansonDC as usual, you’re wrong: looking at the headline on one X post is NOT all you need to know.
In fact, what your followers need desperately to know is the continued advocacy of a return to war against Iran, a war we cannot win, could have catastrophic implications for our own national security.
Whether it’s you or others, those advocating a return to war are advocating policies that will deeply *harm* our country and likely result in the deaths of many American service members – again.
