The NY Times spoke to an Iranian businessman who shared the feeling of some Iranians “that the war facilitated the transition to a new supreme leader, something that the regime might have otherwise struggled to do.”
Mark my words--- Polymarket and other predictive market schemes have the potential to become a serious threat to press freedom/journalists.
Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi 🤡🤡🤡
Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
PM Mark Carney on the US lifting sanctions on Russian oil: “Canada's position is to maintain sanctions on Russia, maintain sanctions including on the Shadow Fleet which is moving this oil.”
Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.
This is one of the best things I've read on the current state of the United States and how it got there.
Breaking news: European countries including France have opened talks with Tehran seeking to negotiate a deal to guarantee safe passage for their ships through the Strait of Hormuz, according to people briefed on the efforts. ft.trib.al/MjGIZ7Z

Two things here.
One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.
Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.
Back-to-back, seconds apart lol
*TRUMP: PUTIN MIGHT BE HELPING IRAN 'A LITTLE BIT'
*EU'S COSTA: US LIFTING SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA OIL CONCERNING
3-4 weeks of Hormuz closure would not, in fact, be a "short-lived" experience for petroleum markets and therefore the global economy.
*GREER: IRAN WAR MATTER OF `WEEKS' , EFFECTS SHORT-LIVED

You're not gonna believe this but PostMedia wrote a misleading headline to drive racial animosity and it's whipping the racist right into a fury.
The murderer still got LIFE IN PRISON. There was no reduced sentence. LIFE.
The abuse inflicted on Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman prison — including the murder of a Palestinian doctor — was inhumane. This one case, brought because the abuse was *caught on camera*, was a small sign that rule of law in Israel still worked.
The Israeli government has dropped the case.
Defence Secretary John Healey says cooperation between Iran and Russia is 'part and parcel of what we're dealing with' in the Middle Eastern conflict
Healey described the two countries as an 'established growing axis of aggression' on a visit to the UK's Northwood military HQ
Nothing in this post is incorrect or exaggeration. In 10 days, Trump said all of this 👇in one way or another.
And the funny thing, the @nytimes.com printed and published all of it.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
The sheer strategic stupidity of bailing Russia out of its economic hole by launching a war that entirely foreseeably spikes the oil price - and then having no minesweepers in place to deal with the foreseeable fallout. Rank incompetence.
Best Twitter riposte of the day.
At least Trump's unnecessary, illegal war is improving the humanitarian situation inside Iran.
I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.
“We’re going to look very strong at the straits” right before has me dying
We just got the largest-ever coordinated strategic petroleum reserve release from IEA member countries, 400 million barrels.
Oil market reaction: 🤷🏻♂️
