SITREP IRAN:

I said it in 2016 but nobody wanted to heed the warnings.

Iran is the most dangerous threat in the Middle East, and it always has been. Ballistic missile capabilities with global reach.

Iran was a designated state sponsor of terrorism (the regime still is). While Washington was debating talking points back then, the Iranian leadership was on the ground in Iraq, acting as field commanders in active combat zones killing American Soldiers.

I said it then, and I will say it now: The region could not stabilize with Iranian leadership directing battles on Iraqi soil (never mind directing all their other surrogates—Hamas, HZ, Houthis).

We had a responsibility to draw that line, but we failed to (and like it or not, here we are again).

Everything unfolding in the Middle East today traces back to decisions that were never made and warnings that were never heeded. I was not wrong in 2016. It doesn’t mean what we’re doing now will work (I pray it does).

War is a very complex and very uncertain human endeavor. The truth does not expire. It just gets more expensive to ignore.

Gold Institute for International Strategy is leading efforts to explore ways to join with global partners in new regions of the world. To that end, it was a privilege to join President of the Assembly of Montenegro Andrija Mandić, His Grace Bishop Sava, and friends from the Republic of Srpska for meaningful discussions on the geopolitical shifts reshaping our world.

At a time when so much is changing so quickly, direct engagement between trusted partners is not optional, it is essential for understanding the challenges we face in a tectonically shifting global environment.

The Republic of Srpska is a stable voice in a critical region, and I look forward to continuing this dialogue as new opportunities emerge for cooperation grounded in shared values and mutual respect.

Such an important statement for all Americans.

I agree, and for those who still believe this is some component in a 5-D chess game, it is not. This is real war, real people are dying, and there are very real consequences at stake for every single American citizen.

Below is a reminder of the reality of War. This thread is a description of what the United States of America has experienced at the hands of a bloodthirsty regime. When the subjugation of a citizenry gets to the point where obedience to a dictator is no longer possible, there arises inside of the enslaved population an awakening. The protests by Iran’s youth that began months ago now is that initial awakening. It happened in 1979, and it resulted in nothing but darkness and death for many decades. Pray this time around, it results in a new type of spiritual awakening. An awakening that allows the region and the world to move toward greater respect for individual freedoms and international laws.

Like this foreign policy adventure or not, the reality is we are here. Now we must find solutions and paths to achieve peace, the U.S. deserves it and the Iranian people fighting for their lives deserve it.

And Pray 🙏🏼

SITREP IRAN:

An update on Alliances and what’s next.

Iran's Supreme Leader is dead. The United States and Israel are actively striking nuclear sites, missile programs, and leadership targets. Iran is firing back at U.S. bases and allies across the Middle East. My latest SITREP breaks down the current battlefield picture, what Iran's retaliation tells us, and where this goes from here.
