The power struggle in Iran
Hegseth called the Iranian leadership rats who have gone underground. Can they be defeated? How can you root out the radicalized culture that is buried deep in the minds of many Iranians? Is regime change truly possible?
Reza Pahlavi is an Iranian political activist and dissident in exile in the United States. A member of the Pahlavi dynasty, he is the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. Is Reza Pahlavi the right one to lead the new leadership in Iran?
Trump says U.S. bombed Kharg Island, striking core of Iran’s oil economy
About 90 percent of the country’s oil exports move through facilities on Kharg Island, located some 15 miles from the mainland in the Persian Gulf.”
“Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the U.S. had “totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel.” The Washington Post could not immediately independently verify Trump’s description of the attack or provide a damage assessment. “Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much!” Trump posted while flying from Washington to Palm Beach, Florida, where he is expected to spend the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
The president said that he had decided not to target the oil infrastructure on the island, but threatened to change course if Iran interfered with the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.” (WP)
How will this play with the MAGA base?
According to recent reports, Donald Trump has used several different phrases to describe the current conflict with Iran, rather than sticking to one official name.
1. “A little excursion.”
2. Trump described the war as “a little excursion.”
3. The military campaign name used by the administration is “Operation Epic Fury.”
4. In interviews and press remarks, Trump often calls it “the war in Iran” and has said it will end “when I feel it in my bones.”
