Only 32 out of 180 crew aboard have been rescued. They were fathers, brothers, sons. Some weren’t even fighters. They were musicians for the Iranian Navy band.

Khamenei is dead. Could Trump take the win and end the war quickly? Me on News X
I would have liked to have seen Khamenei stand trial for his many crimes, and be interviewed about his actions and his state of mind in the cold dark jail prison where he would spend his last days. I resent that he was awarded a hero’s death. He didn’t deserve it. borzou.substack.com/p/khamenei-g...
“The US has never been in a head-on war with a country of Iran’s population, size, and industrial power. Iran has never faced off against adversaries as powerful and determined to do maximum damage as the US and Israel." open.substack.com/pub/borzou/p...
A war of the Epstein class, by the Epstein class, for the Epstein class
Maybe Iran should accept the US terms. It was Iran’s arsenal of missiles that ultimately served as a deterrent during the 12-day war. It was the barrage of rockets and drones that hit Tel Aviv prompting Israel to ask the US to put an end to the conflict. The nucelar program ultimately did nothing.

Cuba never buckled. Nor did Vietnam. Venezuela required military intervention. Iran also won’t “capitulate.” Indeed no country really gives in to gunboat diplomacy.

“It’s like the Jamaican bobsled team movie, except instead of a plucky band of outsiders doing their best, it’s a scheming gang of well-funded insiders lying, cheating, and pressuring others into betrayal.”
War is the glue that holds the Islamic Republic together. It was the trauma and agony of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war that wedded the clerical regime to a significant portion of the Iranian people. The deprivations of that conflict shaped an entire generation. borzou.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...

E235 - The Decline of Newsrooms w/ @borzou.bsky.social
Journalist Borzou Dargahi is on the show to talk about the end of the international desk, tech, and all that is currently hollowing out newsrooms.

WATCH — @patryanforcongress : “DHS and ICE are attempting to build a national network of warehouses for mass detention… 80,000 at a time… tens of billions of dollars… Trump’s multi-billionaire donors will benefit…”
“It would not be too cynical to think that the US doesn’t really care about the Iranian people. It is just using the moment of the regime’s weakness to extract the concessions for its own and Israel’s security that it has long sought.”
