Iran launched a missile attack targeting a U.S. Military base in Qatar on Monday, in retaliation for U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. There were no casualties reported, as Tehran notified Doha ahead of time and Qatari air defense shot the missiles down.

President Trump is acting like the war is over and calling for “peace,” but Iran continues to launch retaliatory attacks against Israel. All of this, as Russian President Putin condemned the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran as “unprovoked aggression” during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the Kremlin.

Former U.S. Diplomat and Geopolitical Analyst, Jim Jatras, noted that with Trump openly calling for “regime change” in Tehran, “all Iran has to do to win is to survive,” and that survival could be dependent on whether they become the next Libya or the next North Korea, when it comes to their nuclear weapons program.

Russian President Putin is voicing his concerns over World War 3, and noting that Russia and Iran are “fighting against the same forces,” as Iran carries out a 17th wave of retaliatory attacks against Israel, with damage reported in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Beersheba.

Sarah Bils, Co-founder of DD Geopolitics, noted that questions should be raised about the pretext used by Israel to launch “Operation Rising Lion” against Iran, as it was based on a report from the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran has amassed enough enriched uranium to create nine nuclear bombs.

But did you know that the IAEA’s data came from Palantir’s Mosaic AI platform—the counterinsurgency software that is now being used to predict nuclear threats?

The White House says President Trump will make a decision on whether the U.S. will join Israel with direct strikes against Iran "within two weeks," as Tehran continues its retaliation against Israel.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that while the U.S. has been aware of problems with its ability to keep up with lethal aid production when it comes to the war in Ukraine, it’s now struggling to provide for its favorite proxy in the Middle East, amid reports that Israel is running low on defensive Arrow interceptors.

All eyes are on the U.S. Military, as the Pentagon moves more assets to the Middle East, amid warnings from Iran that direct strikes from the U.S. will be met with “irreparable damage.”

But according to President Trump, “WE now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” And according to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, “WE are carrying out military strikes” on Iran.

Ret. U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor noted that while the U.S. is already at war with Iran, the question of direct strikes is not about “if,” but about “when” at this point.

Iran’s supreme leader rejected Trump’s demands for “unconditional surrender,” and warned that direct involvement from the U.S. would result in “irreparable damage.” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also noted that Iran did not pose a military threat while engaging in nuclear talks with Washington, and that the need for the U.S. get even more directly involved shows Israel’s weakness.

Veteran Journalist Marwa Osman, PhD., noted that the Iranian leader’s statements reflect the resolve of the Iranian people in the fight against the West, and serve as a reminder that this fight is bigger than just Iran.

President Trump is demanding Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” in his latest rant on social media, one day after he posted that “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” (a city of around 10 million people)

This, as the Pentagon expands the U.S. Military presence in the Middle East, sending more war planes and an aircraft carrier to the region, amid reports that Trump is considering joining Israel in direct strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Scott Ritter, a former UN Weapons Inspector and U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, noted that the U.S. is already at war with Iran, and Trump has said as much, as he brags about the support the U.S. is giving Israel.

Trump’s response when asked about the testimony from his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was, “I don’t care what she said” – raising questions about who he is taking advice from, as he goes directly against his campaign promise of “no new wars.”

Israel and Iran traded strikes for a fourth day on Monday, with casualties reported on both sides, as Israel took full credit for the bombing of an Iranian National TV station during a live broadcast. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran does not want to “expand the circle of war,” but will respond “in proportion” to any attack.

Palestinian-Syrian Journalist Laith Marouf noted that as the U.S. reroutes the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier from the South China Sea to the Middle East, in preparation to directly enter the war they have been supporting against Iran… we are also seeing Iran preparing for a long war with not only Israel, but “the entire might of NATO” and “part of the ability to have this long war with the West is making sure that not all of your assets are exposed from Day One.”

Israel’s defense minister has declared that “Tehran will burn,” if Iran continues the retaliation it kicked off on Friday, which consisted of hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israel, and inflicted significant damage on Israel’s equivalent of the Pentagon.

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, of the University of Tehran, noted that the unprecedented attacks against Iran that were carried out by Israel, and supported directly by the U.S., have only served to unite the Iranian people in their demands for retaliation.

Hours after Israel carried out an unprecedented attack targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and ballistic missile factories with strikes, and assassinating multiple members of Iran’s top military command, Trump is praising Israel’s “excellent” attack, which killed dozens of civilians.

Veteran Journalist Elijah J. Magnier noted that Trump’s tactic of pretending to want to make a deal with Tehran, while supporting and encouraging plans for Israel to attack Iran, is not the first time the U.S. president has done this. In fact, during Trump’s first term, he lied to Iraqi officials ahead of his planned assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani at Baghdad Airport.

President Trump is declaring that “Our deal with China is done,” after two days of talks between the U.S. and China in London resulted in a plan for framework for the agreement they reached on resolving their trade disputes last month. But the war is far from over…

Carl Zha, a geopolitical analyst and Host of the Silk & Steel Podcast, noted that this is “a ceasefire, NOT a peace treaty,” and while Washington is pushing Beijing to lift the export controls it recently placed on key rare earth elements used by the U.S. Military, Beijing also wants the U.S. to lift the restrictions it placed on Chinese access to the technology used to make advanced semi-conductors.
