How Iran Holds It's Own Against Enemy Bombardment as Donald Trump's War Enters Fourth Week.
Wars are seldom decided by fighting alone. Although military campaigns can devastate cities and take many lives, final outcomes are shaped by endurance, legitimacy, and deeper historical forces beneath the violence. While the conflict initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump against Iran may bring short-term gains for the United States and Israel, the broader political reality points elsewhere. Iran has suffered damage to its infrastructure and people, yet it may ultimately secure the political advantage. Independent media has never been more important.

Trump Says WAR IS WON and Blames Hegseth for Conflict in Iran.
The most revealing part of President Donald Trump’s latest comments about the war with Iran isn’t the strategy—it’s the impulse behind how he talks about it. In a single stretch of remarks, he managed to do two things that rarely coexist comfortably in serious statecraft: casually assign credit for the start of a war and publicly narrate supposed diplomatic progress that the other side insists doesn’t exist. If nothing else, it underscores a defining trait of his leadership style—an inability to keep sensitive matters contained. Independent media has never been more important.

Markwayne Mullin & DHS: What Happens When Confrontation Meets Power?
What happens when a politician with a record of confrontational behavior is put in charge of one of the most powerful domestic security agencies in the country? In this video, we break down the case against Markwayne Mullin leading the Department of Homeland Security—from his history of near-violent confrontations to his rhetoric around political conflict and immigration enforcement. This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about temperament, judgment, and the real-world consequences of leadership style—especially for immigrants and communities directly impacted by DHS policy.

The Weakness of “Drill Baby Drill" in the Face of Trump's Wartime Energy Crisis.
As global oil prices surge and governments scramble to protect shipping routes through one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, the crisis has become a stark reminder of how deeply modern economies remain tied to volatile fossil fuel markets. Even countries that produce large amounts of oil domestically are feeling the shock waves from a conflict thousands of miles away. For many energy experts and climate officials, the lesson is clear: the best way to reduce vulnerability to geopolitical crises is to reduce dependence on oil itself.

Allies Abandon Trump Over Iran War Chaos, Tariffs, Bad Decisions and a Year of Abuse.
European leaders are rejecting Donald Trump’s call for allied warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz after U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran, exposing a widening rift between Washington and its European partners. As countries like Germany, United Kingdom, and Italy decline to join a naval mission, Trump’s claims of strong allied backing are increasingly being challenged.
