Best part of this trashy hit piece is when the author tries to make Sina Azodi look horrible for taking part in discussions about how to prevent a war that…well…should have been prevented. dailywire.com/news/georgetow…

I observed to @giorgiocafiero that the U.S. military has already advised Trump that (a) the effectiveness of air strikes against Iran have already reached the point of diminishing return, and (b) the U.S. is rapidly depleting its military stocks.

#Tunisia #ArabSpring #Democracy
On the night of July 25, 2021, Tunisia's democracy didn't collapse with tanks in the streets.
It unravelled behind the gates of the presidential palace.
Nearly five years later, those at the centre of the crisis tell the inside story

Through community partnerships and donor support, Anera remains committed to addressing urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza. The program includes the following components:
The regular distribution of hot meals to displaced families across targeted camps. Meals are prepared through local kitchens in Gaza and distributed to families in multiple shelter locations.
Non-food item (NFI) assistance, including tents, blankets and mattresses, to help improve living conditions for displaced families residing in shelters and camps.
Learning spaces and non-formal education activities that reach children from kindergarten through sixth grade.
Medical aid and health and hygiene awareness sessions to promote healthy practices that minimize the spread of disease in overcrowded displacement settings.
There are multiple ways to support our response in Gaza and beyond. Whether it be through corporate giving, an individual donation, or signing up for our newsletter, every bit of support matters. Head to our website to learn about all the ways you can support our work: anera.org/how-to-help/

U.S.-Iranian negotiations will not conclude any time soon, so "#Iran and The Bomb" by @ProfSAzodi is essential reading.
#PersianGulf #MiddleEast #BookRecommendations
@ElliottSchoolGW
We have a new #bookrecommendation from Amb. Gray, Iran and the Bomb by Sina Azod. "You won’t find a more topical book, and I hope Mr. Vance, Witkoff, & Kushner read it. The book draws widely on both U.S. & Iranian sources, including primary sources & interviews with key officials

President Trump has been clear in both his public statements and private conversations with Netanyahu that he wants Israel to drastically scale back its attacks on Lebanon and stop striking Beirut. His recent Truth Social post is consistent with that. His primary focus is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He does not want developments in Lebanon to disrupt a potential agreement that could lead to the reopening of the Hormuz Strait: Gordon Gray, former US diplomat

Iran's leaders take note: A nuclear arsenal would not have saved the Qaddafi regime. But addressing poor governance and crippling economic mismanagement – and ending endemic corruption and ruthless repression – might have allowed him to hang on to power.
