A Collapsing Empire: Trump Profits from American Taxpayers

While American taxpayers bear the financial burden of Netanyahu's geopolitical ambitions, the Trump family has capitalized on the pretext of war to enrich itself at the public's expense while simultaneously expanding its business empire. At the heart of this alarming reality lies a textbook example of Trump Profits from American Taxpayers – a family dynasty that turns military escalation into personal revenue streams. Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, in an interview with Fox News on Saturday, June 24, 2026, sharply criticized the Trump administration's military policies, saying: "Our tax dollars are being funneled into a futile conflict that,…

Trump Claims Total Control Over Hormuz: Is That Really the Case?

On August 12, U.S. President Donald Trump once again made his familiar Trump Claims Total Control Over Hormuz declaration, insisting that American forces, “and nobody else,” control the strategically important waterway.  The first problem with Trump’s statement is the difference between the notion of military presence and effective control. The United States has a powerful naval force in and around the Persian Gulf, including more than 15 warships. But having warships near the Strait does not automatically mean controlling it.  If Washington truly had complete control over Hormuz, commercial shipping would presumably be moving normally, without responding to Iranian restrictions.…

Trump is Playing with Fire in Iran—and the Whole Middle East Could Pay the Price

Trump is Playing with Fire in Iran—and as the U.S. President faces a critical decision over Tehran, his approach to the conflict risks turning an already dangerous confrontation into a much wider war. Analysts now warn that instead of creating greater security, Washington's increasingly aggressive strategy could draw more countries into the fighting, disrupt global energy supplies and leave the United States facing consequences far beyond the battlefield. Trump recently suspended what he described as the biggest attack on Iran since World War II after Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states reportedly urged him to reconsider. Their concerns were understandable:…

No Breakthrough, Rising Frustration: Trump’s War on Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with Iran as his administration struggles to secure a concession from the country. After accusing Tehran of being "unbelievably duplicitous," Trump admitted that dealing with its leaders had become a source of irritation. "All they do is make me angry," he told reporters Monday. "They just make me angry." The remarks come as negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz remain deadlocked, with Tehran refusing to abandon its demand for transit fees—a condition Trump has repeatedly rejected. Trump's war on Iran has entered a phase where military and economic pressure have yet to…

America’s Missile Shield Under Pressure: Iran Conflict Drains Key US Defense Stockpiles

Trump’s increasingly aggressive approach toward military confrontation with Iran is now creating challenges for the United States. Latest reports suggest that the US military has used a significant portion of its advanced missile defense supplies during the conflict with Iran, leaving senior defense officials concerned about declining weapons reserves. The depletion of critical interceptor systems has raised questions about Washington’s ability to sustain prolonged military operations and respond effectively to potential future threats, placing America's Missile Shield Under Pressure.  The most serious reduction involves the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The US military has reportedly consumed nearly 80…

Trump’s Military Threats Against Iran Are Now a Dead Letter: The Strait of Hormuz Stays Blocked

Neither the Strait of Hormuz nor Bab el‑Mandeb has reopened. On August 1, 2026, Trump canceled yet another military strike. This marked his tenth retreat from a "decisive" threat. He ludicrously claimed Iran and Middle Eastern nations begged for mercy. Trump demanded "the Immediate, Complete and Total" reopening of Hormuz. He also insisted on "an end to Iran's nuclear threat". Yet Iran flatly denied making any such request. Iranians correctly dismissed Trump's claim as "a new lie". Their armed forces remained on high alert throughout. Officials confirmed both straits would remain firmly shut. Nevertheless, the Strait of Hormuz stays blocked.…

 14 Dead, 427 Wounded – Yet the Pentagon Hides Iran Combat Injuries

Does the Pentagon hides Iran combat injuries?  Yes. Friday's Iranian strike killed two U.S. soldiers, left another missing in Jordan, but not the first attack on U.S. forces.  In fact, Iran launched three separate strikes earlier that week, injuring dozens of U.S. troops and damaging military helicopters. What now becomes a major Pentagon headache is that those incidents were never publicly acknowledged then.  U.S. officials familiar with operations said the Pentagon chose not to reveal attacks or damage extent, citing operational concerns. On Monday, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell disclosed nearly 100 American. service members injured in Iranian attacks since July…

The Imperial Decline: Iran’s slap at America in the Persian Gulf

Among the sprawling network of American bases in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait's Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base—located in the region's northern part—has drawn particular attention for its role in supporting CENTCOM operations. Iran's retaliatory response has targeted this base repeatedly in recent months. Iran's response operations against American actions struck Kuwait's Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base during the strikes. This facility serves as one of Kuwait's key air force bases and also hosts American forces within CENTCOM's regional network. According to statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Operation Nasr 2 destroyed various elements of American military infrastructure at this…

Iran’s Coffin Factory Islands: Why Taking Iranian Territory Means 20,000 Dead and an Endless War America Cannot Win

The Pentagon has fixed its gaze upon Iran's southern islands and shores. Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and the colossal Qeshm sit like pawns across the Strait of Hormuz. Collectively, they constitute what analysts designate "a layered denial system" over the planet's most indispensable energy chokepoint. President Trump has declined to preclude their seizure. During a Situation Room assembly, he contemplated alternatives encompassing the capture of Kharg Island, through which ninety percent of Iran's crude oil exports traverse. Three US officials have confirmed that recent strikes constitute "shaping operations" — eroding Iranian defenses for subsequent, intricate undertakings. For what…
