We are seeing considerable mention of the concept of “International Law”, used as a stick to beat Israel and the US for their attack on Iran. The claim is that it is an unprovoked “war of aggression”, and thus illegal under the UN Charter.
The chattering class has once again been shocked by President Trump’s out-of-the box actions. For years, we’ve been led to believe in the oft-repeated international consensus among “experts” that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and has a stranglehold on the world’s hydrocarbon-powered economy.
US Central Command said the USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian-flagged “Touska” as it traveled towards an Iranian port in violation of the blockade. Iran’s military called it a violation of the US-Iran temporary ceasefire and threatened to retaliate. However, Iran was later accused of violating the ceasefire after reportedly opening fire on ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz. CNN’s Ivan Watson reports.
There’s a reason Khe Sanh still gets brought up in war colleges, smoky VFW halls, and late-night strategy debates. It wasn’t just a battle. It was a live-fire experiment in something we didn’t have a name for yet—what we now call fifth-generation warfare. Not bullets versus bullets. Not even armies versus armies. It was narrative versus reality. And narrative won.
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson reviews the many players who would be involved in a potential resolution to the conflict with Iran on ‘Life, Liberty & Levin.’
The main goal behind the Israeli-US war against Iran is patently obvious: control over Iran’s energy sources especially its oil sold to China. For Israel, it’s their self-defense. Sanctions did not stop Iran terrorism policies until military pressure was brought by Trumps “Epic Fury” opération when it became necessary to achieve commercial dominance over middle east energy resources, not Iran. Iran’s belligerent behavior on the world stage holding other countries hostage to Islamic terrorism with the one product everyone needs, petroleum, rendered Iran a pariah nation suitable for behavioral modification. For us, oil is our primary but not only reason. For Iran, religion and money, in that order, is their motive to do what they do because they need the cash their oil producers to destroy Israel. Israel, on the other hand, wants to survive by destroying Iran’s military, especially itsnuclear threats. Dealing with weak leaders since Jimmy Carter, facing indecision, bribery and incompetence over fifty years, made Iran’s goal easy, until Donald Trump.
Retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses the potential roadblocks for President Donald Trump’s push for a deal with Iran on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’
Wednesday morning began with the capitulation of Chairman Xi.
Trump announced on Truth Social, “China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also—and the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.
Naturally, both the United States and Russia have security concerns. Russia opted to safeguard its borders against NATO’s expansion along its Western frontier through a full-scale ground war that is now in its 5th year. The fighting persists with significant military actions from both sides continuing, resulting in substantial casualties and geopolitical tensions that have further complicated international relations.
U.S. Navy intelligence officer Ret. Capt. Todd Sawhill discusses reports Iran used Chinese satellites to target U.S. bases and the impact of strikes on their nuclear sites on ‘The Story.’
There was no declaration. No troop movement you could point to on a map. No shock-and-awe campaign lighting up the night sky. And yet somewhere around 2019, the world shifted—and it hasn’t felt normal since. That’s because the battlefield changed. We are now living inside what military thinkers call Fifth-generation warfare. And unlike every war that came before it, this one isn’t being fought over land. It’s being fought over you.
Former Special Envoy to Ukraine Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg discusses the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, ongoing minesweeping operations, and how the pressure campaign is impacting Iran on ‘America’s Newsroom.’
The romantic image of armored columns rolling forward under cover of smoke and artillery has been replaced by something far less cinematic: vehicles hiding, dispersing, and moving like hunted animals under constant aerial surveillance. Cheap drones—$500 quadcopters and $20,000 FPV kamikazes—are hunting million-dollar platforms with ruthless efficiency. The lesson is not subtle. If you can be seen, you can be targeted. If you can be targeted, you can be killed.
The New York Times not only is a communist proselytizer and apologist, but it now openly supports and defends Iran and its government-funded terrorist groups. The Marxist-Muslim partnership now openly parades itself as the latest rendition of the inevitable world conquest.
Iranian embassies are flooding social media with viral AI-generated memes mocking President Donald Trump for the Iran war. CNN’s Will Ripley explains how “slopaganda” is accelerating a new kind of information war.
Former U.S. Navy 5th Fleet Commander Vice Adm Kevin Donegan (Ret.) discusses the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over possible Iranian disruption of the Bab al-Mandeb on ‘America’s Newsroom.’

Today is Yom HaShoah. The Jewish holy day for remembering the Holocaust. And I must admit, dear friends, standing before you all, here in this beautiful synagogue, wearing this tiny hat, I am feeling very out of place. And humbled.
