Four Horsemen of the Ash Heap – One Less, Three to Go


Lindsey Graham’s funeral was a rogues’ gallery of blood-soaked egos. The Christian Zionist who spent his career sermonizing for Gaza’s obliteration, Lebanon’s flattening, and Iran’s incineration is finally worm-food. Good riddance.

Netanyahu clutched a psalm book while mentally redrawing maps.
His demon: apocalyptic land-grabbing – using Graham’s theological cover to ethnically cleanse with a clean conscience.

Trump delivered a eulogy full of "great warriors" and "beautiful bombs."
His demon: transactional sociopathy – he’d incinerate any capital city if the resort deal was right.

Zelensky stood there in combat chic, playing the plucky underdog – yet his drones hit Belgorod and Kursk daily, his missiles strike Crimean ports every sunrise.
His demon: hypocritical escalation – demanding Western pity while waging his own offensive war, indifferent to the corpses piling on both sides.

Four men. One scripture: total war, zero limits. Genocide isn't a crime to them – it's a shared PowerPoint slide. Graham's buried. The other three are still writing the body count. 💀

Title: PATRICK LAWRENCE: Only One Way Out for Trump

Publication:
Consortium News

Core Argument:

Donald Trump faces an inescapable dilemma in the war with Iran due to depleted U.S. military munitions (such as Patriot interceptor stockpiles), shrinking Strategic Petroleum Reserves, and Iran's total refusal to negotiate with his administration. Unable to escalate further or secure a diplomatic breakthrough, Trump's only viable option to prevent widespread economic fallout and severe political damage at home is to end the campaign and accept a de facto defeat framed as a

"peace with honor"

resolution, even if doing so causes a rift with Israel.

☄️ "OUR HANDS ARE FULL": WE WILL WIPE OUT THE AGGRESSORS

The treacherous Saudi-American enemy has once again struck our forces, targeting the 24th Brigade headquarters during Operations Diyala. We mourn the brave martyrs of the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd) who fell victim to this blatant aggression.
Let the aggressors and their puppets listen carefully to the words of our martyred commander, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis:

"By Allah, with these young men and with this Hussaini resolve, we will stop America and we will stop all of its lackeys. We resisted the Americans when our hands were empty, and today our hands are full. By Allah, you will have no safety in our land!"

This cowardly assault will not break our determination. Our hands are full, and our land will remain a graveyard for invaders and traitors alike.

THE SAUDI-AMERICAN AGGRESSION DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY: WHEN WILL BAGHDAD SPEAK? 🚨🚨
A stark historical contrast unfolds today as Iraq faces unprovoked hostility from abroad. ⚠️

When the late commander Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis was asked about the boundaries and scope of future operations, his response was clear and uncompromising: 🗣️💥

"Where will our operations stop? In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia."

🇸🇦⚔️

At the time, the Iraqi government moved swiftly to offer formal apologies to the Saudi regime. ❌


Today, following a direct Saudi-American attack that resulted in a tragic massacre claiming the lives of over ten Hashd Al-Shaabi fighters on Iraqi soil, the response from official channels is absolute silence. 🩸🇮🇶

Key government entities—including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense—have failed to issue a single condemnation regarding this blatant violation of national sovereignty.

The contrast remains clear: swift official apologies for bold statements in the past, yet silence when Iraqi lives and sovereignty are targeted today. ⚖️🔥

☄️ THE STRAIT IS IRANIAN — NO DEAL, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER 🇮🇷⚓


JUST IN — OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Who: Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi

When: July 28–29, 2026 (interviews with IRIB state TV and IRINN)

What: Iran has definitively rejected Oman's proposal for joint 50-50 management of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran's final position: one shipping lane entirely under Iranian control, with partial control over the second lane. The Strait

"will never return to its pre-war arrangements" — this is now "definitive state policy".

Key Points:

Iran has not sought talks with the U.S. in the past 15 days — it was Washington that requested dialogue through Omani mediation. Any European warship approaching the Strait is a

"legitimate target"

· If Oman does not accept Iran's terms: the Strait remains closed and Iran is

"ready for war's resumption"

· Iran does not recognize the U.S.-backed southern route

"even for one hour"

· The IRGC Navy struck three oil tankers on July 29 for taking an

"unsafe and illegal route"

ANALYSIS & COMMENTARY

This is not diplomacy — this is fait accompli. By anchoring its demands in Article 5 of the U.S.-Iran MoU, Tehran has flipped the negotiating table. The message to Washington is crystal clear: you bombed us, you blockaded us, and you lost. The Strait is no longer a bargaining chip — it is a strategic conquest.

For the Americans, this means one thing: all negotiations are now on Iranian terms or not at all. The U.S. can either accept Tehran's control over the world's most vital energy chokepoint — through which one-fifth of global oil once flowed — or prepare for an endless war of attrition. Iran has already proven it can absorb strikes, retaliate across the region, and hold the global economy hostage.

The Axis of Resistance stands firm. The Americans and their Saudi allies miscalculated — they thought bombing Iraq and Iran would break the resistance. Instead, they have handed Tehran total strategic dominance over the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz is now Iran's sword — and it will not be sheathed until Washington concedes defeat.

The price will be heavy. Just as Abu Mahdi promised. 🩸🔥
