Pleasure to join @MariaBartiromo on @MorningsMaria this AM to break down: - Israel & America’s strikes against Iran’s ☢️ & 🚀 programs - The importance of pushing for a different government in Tehran - The implications of the Trump-Bibi meeting for peace in the Middle East

More than a month and half past the 12-Day War, and the Islamic Republic continues to try to spin nationalism and Islamism as mutual forces despite the 46-year history of the regime preferencing the Ummah over the nation.

Rather than rebuild Iran, the Islamic Republic is shipping missile and drone components to the Houthis following the 12-Day War. @FDD’s @BridgetKToomey and I explain below, w/ an emphasis on unpacking the arsenal that was on its way to Yemen👇

Iran's hardline Kayhan daily newspaper details (what it/the regime) believes are 7 key outcomes/implications from its 12-Day War w/ Israel and America. Some truth, much spin, but you decide: 1 Deterrence Power 2 Strengthening National Unity 3 Trust in Domestic Capabilities 4…

From @WSJopinion: Tehran can’t stop. Not a day goes by in which Iranian religious or political officials don’t threaten the life of President Trump. As long as the regime lives, so will the threat, write @therealBehnamBT and @SGhasseminejad. on.wsj.com/459Aj7T

The Islamic Republic of Iran has a trans-national terror apparatus and proxy network with a truly global reach. The table and map below by @BridgetKToomey & @therealBehnamBT indicate which actors have been subject to terrorism sanctions in each…

This article makes an important point: Iran is NOT Iraq, Afghanistan, or Libya. Literacy in Iran is 90%+, university enrollment is similar to Europe, and its middle class is substantial. Iran's bureaucratic institutions have also been functional long before the Islamic…

The window for France, Germany, and the U.K. to snapback tough UN sanctions against Iran is quickly closing. After years of violating its nuclear commitments, Iran doesn’t deserve more time – it deserves more pressure. I urge our European friends to snapback as soon as…

When I say this regime👏literally 👏 can't 👏 stop, this is what I mean. ICYMI: Mohammad-Javad Larijani, former advisor to Khamenei: "Millions of Muslims may be after Trump's head... It's not in our hands, it's the Fatwa, we must make the Fatwa bigger!" entekhab.ir/003g1d

The Islamic Republic's recent arrest of a French‑German cyclist is part of its deliberate hostage diplomacy. In my op-ed for @WashTimes, I discuss how the regime will detain anyone it can monetize, regardless of citizenship or diplomatic status: washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/…

Thoughts from @therealBehnamBT: "Iran’s latest SLV test is proof positive that after the 12-Day War, its calculus has not changed. The Islamic Republic remains committed to using its space program to mask its quest for longer-range strategic weapons that get around its…

Tehran is embracing the very nationalism it suppressed for much of its existence in the wake of a punishing 12-day war with Israel and the United States, signaling authorities' keenness to drum up unity among a weary populace. From murals of Cyrus the Great to patriotic songs at…

Iran has a trans-national terror apparatus of proxies & government entities. Where in the West (5 Eyes plus EU) have they been subject to sanctions & what is left to proscribe? In this interactive map @BridgetKToomey of @FDD & I identify gaps and explain. fdd.org/analysis/2025/…

The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. In 2022 I explained the origins and evolution of the IRI’s anti-Israel rhetoric and reality as espoused by Ayatollahs Khomeini & Khamenei in @TheAtlantic 👇There has been no course correction to date. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

🚨via @TheJusticeDept: A 63-year-old Lebanese national sentenced to 44 months in jail for IEEPA & ITSR violations after conspiring to sell U.S. drill rigs to Iran after fraudulently claiming the drills would first be sent to Turkey then Iraq. justice.gov/opa/pr/foreign…

In good company w/منشه امیر and @JasonMBrodsky in this piece about Iran's diplomatic gambit to stop Snapback at the UNSC before October by the one and only @bennyavni for the @NewYorkSun. nysun.com/article/dreadi…

Reports of the first successful SLV test post 12-Day War, featuring the Qased SLV by the IRGC-AF (not the Iranian Space Agency). First unveiled in the spring of 2020, the 3-stage SLV uses a small Salman solid-propellant motor capable of thrust-vectoring with a liquid-propellant…

A picture is worth a thousand words, but which words depends greatly on your perspective: 👇 - New age anti-regime activist: “Good news and onto the closure of the next one.” - Seasoned anti-regime Iran Watcher: “More proof of what Iran was and what it has become.”

A new level of regime propaganda: Wife of slain IRGC-AF commander Hajizadeh alleges per her husband’s bodyguard that “while his [Hajjzadeh’s] head was split in two, he twice said Ya Ali.”
