The Lead: Iran to Trump – War Outcomes Not Determined by Tweets

Iran’s Khatm al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is like their Department of War, shared a message in English for President Trump.

What was said?

“The outcome of war cannot be determined by tweets. The results of war are determined in the field — the very place where you and your forces do not dare to approach.” The spokesperson then concluded with a jab: “It’s better to name this operation Epic Fear instead of Epic Fury.”

He’s right, you can certainly hide behind and sway public opinion through brave tweets that spout out unverified facts about the war’s outcome, but in the end, the final result is determined by the reality in battle, not by statements, predictions, or political messaging.

This is a clear indication to the American people that we’re not getting the real status of the war, no matter how many movie trailers the DOD produces.

Despite Trump’s efforts on social media, where he called for help in securing the Strait of Hormuz, there’s been a lack of response. The President is clearly upset about this, wondering why his “allies” don’t want to get involved in something he described as “very minor.”

Why would they want to team up with the U.S. when negotiations could secure safe passage through the Strait, especially when Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Strait of Hormuz “is open but closed to our enemies, to those who carried out this cowardly aggression against us and to their allies.”

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius was clear on his stance about joining forces with the U.S., stating, “This is not our war. We have ⁠not started it. What does Trump expect a handful, or two handfuls, of European frigates to do in the Strait of Hormuz that the powerful ⁠U.S. Navy cannot do?”

Although help from U.S. allies hasn’t been readily available, the government has had no problem moving forward since the war began. Foreign outlets are reporting that in a March 1 strike on Iran, American stealth bombers were detected by Chinese AI monitoring systems.

The system also determined in January that the U.S. had initiated its largest Middle East military buildup in nearly twenty years, surpassing the scale of deployments that took place during the Iraq War.

Meanwhile, we can’t get an accurate count of American fatalities. The official number we are told is only 13.

And instead of honoring the 13 dead soldiers or ordering flags lowered like they were for Charlie Kirk, the President is praising those who praise him. The families of these fallen soldiers deserve mention of their sons and daughters who died for this unnecessary war, not Mark R. Levin.

Is it just me, or are the priorities of this war completely off?

EU Fails to Pass Sanctions on Russia

The European Union failed to pass another round of sanctions on Russia this week, despite pressure for a new package. Basically, they’re idiots who just want to keep blustering about sanctions for a war they never really tried to stop.

The delay comes as Europe faces growing energy uncertainty and internal disputes over supply routes. Even though Europe’s direct supply through the Strait of Hormuz is small (20% at most), the price exposure is massive. If Qatar’s LNG can’t move through Hormuz, Asia will compete aggressively for cargoes from the U.S., Africa, and elsewhere, which drives up LNG prices worldwide, including in Europe.

In a similar move, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil and petroleum products that were loaded onto vessels before March 12. However, it was made clear that the sanctions will be reinstated once the crisis is over. Even so, EU officials fear the move will aid Russia in its war with Ukraine.

At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused some EU allies of trying to “blackmail” Ukraine into reopening the Druzhba pipeline that carries Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia.

In his own words, “If we have decided to restore Russian oil supplies, then I want them to know that I am against it. But if I am given conditions that Ukraine will not receive weapons, then, excuse me, I am powerless on this issue, I told our friends in Europe that this is called blackmail.”

The dispute highlights how fragile Europe’s energy situation has become: several countries still rely on Russian energy infrastructure even while the bloc tries to sanction Moscow. With tensions rising in the Middle East and fears of disruption in global oil supplies, Europe may be reluctant to tighten sanctions further while its own energy security is increasingly uncertain.

Like usual, they will pretend to do something, but the bloc won’t actually let them do anything, and their people will suffer the economic fallout.
