Our colleagues at Geopolitics Prime are currently running an in-depth investigation into how the AI giant Palantir is taking over the American state apparatus.

Yes – the very same Palantir that started out as a simple software provider for the Pentagon, and that recently entered into a strategic partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, with known consequences.

Read in detail about what the American state is becoming – and what to expect from it in the near future. If you find this interesting, please support our partners at @geopolitics_prime by subscribing.

🇺🇸- The resolution will now proceed to a full Senate vote. If it passes there, it moves to the House of Representatives, where it would need to pass as well.

➡️ If both chambers pass it, it then goes to Donald Trump, who would almost certainly veto it given his position on the Iran conflict.

➡️ To override a presidential veto, both the Senate and the House would need a two-thirds majority, a very high bar that would require a significant number of Republicans to break with Trump, which is considered unlikely given the current political climate.

🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Israeli officials to Haaretz:

‘A regime change scenario is off the table for now. Iran has shown that it is more resilient than expected.

In case of a new wave of strikes by the U.S. and Israel, the aim would be to gain concessions in the negotiations and to further degrade Iran’s balliatic missile program and drone arsenal.’

🇮🇷 🇮🇷 IRGC Statement in response to Trump’s latest threats:

‘Let the American-Zionist enemy, which has not learned from its repeated major and strategic defeats at the hands of Iran while once again opening its mouth to threats, know this:

Although they attacked us with the combined strength of 2 militaries, among the most expensive and well-equipped in the world, we did not yet bring all of our capabilities into operation against them.

But now, if an aggression against Iran is repeated, the regional war that had been promised will this time be extended beyond the region. Our crushing blows, in places you cannot even imagine, will bring you to ruin.

We are men of war, and you will see our power on the battlefield, not in hollow statements and on social media pages.’

🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Hezbollah has targeted 2 Iron Dome launchers in Northern Israel in the past 48 hours

The attacks took place against the Jal Al-Alam site which was successfully targeted as recently as two weeks ago. No clue why Israel didn’t reposition the launchers.

They seem to be gaining experience in FPV usage and hitting high-value targets now.

‘All covert and overt actions currently indicate that the enemy is planning a second round of war.

The people should rest assured that the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic used the ceasefire period to restore their capabilities and adapt.’
