🇺🇸🇮🇷❗️ — NEW: Trump promised a final decision "soon" on a deal to end the Iran war, but Friday's Situation Room meeting closed with no announcement, NYT reports.

- Iran says no final agreement is in hand; Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei confirmed message exchanges are still ongoing.

- The proposed deal would end the US-Israeli military campaign in exchange for Iran lifting its Strait of Hormuz blockade — with the nuclear program pushed to later talks.

- Defense Secretary Hegseth, speaking in Singapore, downplayed the deal's imminence and insisted US munitions stockpiles remain ready for renewed fighting.

- Both US Republican hawks and Iranian hard-liners are attacking the agreement — the latter calling it too conciliatory, with Rezaei accusing Trump of excessive demands.

🔊 Iraq was foolish, but Iran is different — Trump

The president calls the Iraq War a disaster — then uses the same logic to justify his own Iran policy.

💬 "If you look at Iraq—that was such a foolish thing, what we did. Shouldn't have been there in the first place… and we shouldn't have been in Iran but they have a capability" to make a nuclear weapon, he told Fox News.

☣️ Weapons of mass destruction were the pretext for Iraq. None existed. Trump calls that foolish. But Iran's "capability" – the same unproven, exaggerated threat – is now his excuse for another endless war.

He sees the mistake. He just won't admit he's making it again.

🤥💵 How Trump crony pumped $15M from Israel into US media

The money linked to the Israeli government passed through a firm run by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, the Intercept reports.

🔴 Over $500,000 was spent on ads with Salem Media, a major conservative Christian media company where Parscale himself serves as a top executive

🔴 Nearly $5 million went to longtime GOP strategist Mike Shields’ firms, while many staff working on the project came directly from his political consulting network

🔴 Another $6 million funded SparkFire Technologies, an AI chatbot company running large-scale personalized texting campaigns aimed at influencing public opinion

🔴 AI chatbots pushed pro-Israel content directly to Americans, including videos claiming that reports of suffering in Gaza were manufactured

🔴 Some of the campaign’s websites and videos were also designed to shape information consumed by AI systems such as ChatGPT and Claude through publicly available online content

🔴 One more firm that appears to be involved with Parscale’s Israel contract is Jackson Parker, whose Florida chapter was founded by Parscale and billionaire oil tycoon Tim Dunn in 2025

🔴 Dunn, an evangelical billionaire and major Trump donor, promotes Christian governance in Texas while actively funding Israel advocacy campaigns.

All these disclosures emerge as Israel drastically expands its global influence efforts, increasing its public diplomacy budget from $150 million in 2025 to $730 million in 2026.
