— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was not resupplied because Secretary of War Pete Hegseth lied to Trump about the U.S. Navy’s 5th HQ in Bahrain being completely destroyed by Iranian strikes – MS NOW (MSNBC) @Middle_East_Spectator
I don't believe that. Not because I think Petey is too competent for it or anything, but because it seems to me like a sacrificial lamb is being prepared to be blamed for this whole fuck up.
And who can be better than Pete, a completely useless idiot with a very "high T" count who was only brought in to create the dudebro vibe illusion and help sell the war to other useless idiots.
Remember when OANN and FOX made a huge deal out of him doing push ups with soldiers? "OMG can you imagine a better man to be in charge of the military," they said. Of course, Hegseth was never "in charge" of shit. But again, he did sell the war and the increasingly aggressive imperial stances well enough. His "T" count sure is high, probably. His IQ, not so much.

NATO issues warning after report of potential Iranian plans for retaliatory attacks on US assets in Europe
NATO affirmed its readiness to defend all member states following reports that Iran weighed contingency plans to strike US military installations in Europe if Washington escalates aggression against Iran, according to L'Orient Today.
Responding to a report published by The Financial Times, an alliance spokesperson emphasized that the coalition maintains a robust and effective deterrence posture capable of confronting any external danger.
The alliance official also reminded observers that NATO air defenses successfully intercepted ballistic missiles heading toward Turkiye from Iranian territory on four separate occasions earlier this year...

@Middle_East_Spectator
This is why they're saying it. Okay, let's see if I got this right. So, The Financial Times, CIA's PR agency, publishes an article about Iran targeting Europe "should fighting resume," then NATO, the CIA's policy enforcement arm, responds to it by saying "we'll defend ourselves and our allies." Did I get that right, or...?

Iran records $7.5 billion in oil revenue despite US Israeli war
Drawing on data released by the Oil Ministry, Fars News Agency reported that Iran successfully transferred 7.5 billion dollars in foreign currency earnings from oil sales to its central bank during the first four months of 2026.
This figure marks a striking fifty percent surge compared to the same timeframe in 2025. The robust financial inflows cover the opening months of the year, spanning the period directly following the outbreak of the joint US Israeli war on Iran launched on 28 February.
Iranian authorities anticipate that these substantial reserves will comfortably sustain the administration's foreign currency requirements through late December.

Israeli tourist arrested in Crete after wildfire tears through village
A 35 year old Israeli tourist faces charges of negligent arson on the Greek island of Crete after igniting a barbecue at a rental property near Sellia, according to TRT World.
The grill was lit despite explicit written and verbal warnings from the villa's owner and strict local burn restrictions.
High winds carried the sparks into nearby dry brush, triggering a fast moving wildfire that required over 60 firefighters and aerial support four hours to bring under control.
@thecradlemedia
So another jew caused another wildfire and it was also not on purpose. This happened so many times over the past 2 years or so in so many places. Including the US. Like, come on, right? Why are all these jews found causing fires one way or another?

Israeli army chief meets Greek counterpart amid rising tensions with Turkiye
...The meeting "highlights the strategic importance and relevance of the military relationship already in place between Israel and Greece," the Israeli army announced. "This relationship has been steadily encouraging a longstanding partnership between both countries," it added.
Neither Greece nor Israel specified when exactly the meeting occurred. The Israeli army's announcement came a day after Israel bombed a military base in Syria to allegedly "prevent" Turkish military buildup at the site. The strikes came despite the Turkish backed authorities in Damascus expressing no interest in a confrontation with Israel...
I'm so ashamed of Greece. It sank so low after WW2. Everything about it has been captured by foreign interests, including the church. I get the dislike of Turks, but Israel... Really? What for? This is why I keep saying the world is stupid. This should not be possible, all things considered.

Beaming Israeli security minister unveil execution facility for Palestinians
The facility will be used to hang convicted "terrorists" under a controversial new law and will include viewing booths, according to Itamar Ben-Gvir.
...The complex will be used to hang convicted "terrorists" under the recently approved Death Penalty for Terrorists Law. The Knesset passed the legislation, championed by Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party, in March. It mandates death penalty for those convicted of deadly terrorist attacks aimed at "ending Israel’s existence" - a provision critics say effectively exempts Jewish Israelis, making the law applicable almost exclusively to Palestinians. Executions must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no right of appeal...

US targets ICC chief in push to "dismantle" court
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sanctioned Tomoko Akane and a senior trial lawyer amid a dispute over the Netanyahu arrest warrant.
...Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday designated ICC President Tomoko Akane and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye, describing the court as a "corrupt and fatally politicized supranational court that has maliciously abused its authority and exceeded its mandate."
The designations are a part of a campaign announced by Rubio last month to "systematically dismantle the threat posed" by the ICC to US sovereignty...
A threat to US sovereignty? What does Netanyahu's arrest warrant have to do with our sovereignty? How interesting! I don't think this shit can be any more obvious, seriously.

‘No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.
Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.
Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.
These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!’

Bro cries harder every day. He obviously doesn't have the common sense or the restraint to stop embarrassing himself.
I'm really curious about what he thinks he can do to Iran economically that his predecessors haven't already done in the past 40 years.

Whoever wins the Meta trial, the masses will remain willing slaves
The fight between social media and political authorities is really about one thing: who keeps the power to shape a decaying society.
...In any case, the main culprits will still be the masses. Because, you know, you can't stop progress! As French philosopher Jacques Ellul wrote: "Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity." Technology has been sanctified, it can't be controlled - but the worst part is that people can't envision a world without it and the more it develops, the more severe the addiction becomes. To believe that anything can be changed through institutional means is illusory...
Never heard of Matthieu Buge before, but this is a pretty good introduction. Interesting article. I wish he elaborated a bit more, but that's okay. Will keep an eye out for more.

Tehran rejects Trump's "Economic D-Day" says sanctions will bring US "further defeat"
Trump is facing domestic economic and political problems as a result of the war he launched on Iran, including a spiraling US national debt that reached $40 trillion this week.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on 20 August that US President Donald Trump's newly announced "Economic D-Day" campaign against the Islamic Republic would bring Washington "further defeat."
"The so-called "Economic D-Day" is a diversion from America's own crisis: unprecedented debt & surging interest costs," Araghchi wrote on X on Thursday. "Doubling down on failed policies will only bring further defeat and enmity of Iranians," he stated, adding that US "economic terrorism" threatens the global economy...
