>>24492195. Most of the people in London annc England are from foreign countries, that are living off with English and European citizens will never get.

The City of London think they are immune from the destruction. Let’s see if they get what they want.

It will be a civil war from the real citizens and the ones London created to destroy the country I doubt the City of London planned this out. Trump exposed them.

People from England are too polite, it’s time for your revolutionary war against the self identified leaders, who believe they rule the world.

Believe me I say this, the City of London is still pissed only 3,000 Americans patriots won against 10s of 1,000s English troops. They will never get over it. But it seems the same thing will happen in their home country

>>24492392 JUST IN: 🇭🇺 Peter Magyar officially defeats Viktor Orbán to become Prime Minister of Hungary.PN

My belief is this election is not over. There is no way Victor lost. Did an election team come with Vance when he visited. What country may have helped? Maybe it was Serbians that admitted to Trump they knew how the 2020 election was stolen, and they revealed the whole scam. Did the Serbians help this time?.Victor’s victory will be revealed, and the criminals will be caught.. Anons believe this and put your Q magic in this victory for Victor!

==Don’t want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants “to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” but on CNN’s @Smerconish

he fretted “the problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti-democratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel’s standing in the world.”==

Swalwell staffers in unsigned statement:‘We’re horrified’ by accusations

Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is reeling from accusations of sexual misconduct.

(They are all lying, they knew what he was)

One day after top advisers to Eric Swalwell abandoned his campaign, staffers from his congressional office and campaign released an unsigned statement Saturday expressing support for women who came forward, saying “any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell.”

“We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward,” the statement reads. “We believe you should stand with them, too. The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.”

The statement was provided to POLITICO by a senior staffer with Swalwell’s campaign who was granted anonymity because they feared reprisal for speaking out. They attributed it to more than a dozen unnamed staffers in both his campaign and congressional office. It comes after at least four departures Friday from the lawmaker’s campaign for California governor, which has been in a tailspin since the accusations surfaced.

The unsigned statement expresses support for the women who have accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct and horror at the allegations detailed Friday by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN, including from a former staffer who alleges he sexually assaulted her twice while she was too drunk to consent. POLITICO did not independently verify the reports.

The unsigned statement reads, “As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN.”

Swalwell, a lawmaker from the Bay Area, said he would fight what he called “flat false” allegations of sexual assault and remain in the race for California govenor. His attorney, Elias Dabaie, did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the staffers’ statement.

However, the unidentified staffers sought to defend those staying on during what they described as a transition period to ensure continuity of constituent services, noting “we lead teams who need guidance and stability now, more than ever.”

They said that if they remain in their jobs it would be, in part, to support junior staff who cannot “immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence,” stressing, “our responsibility now is to them.”

Swalwell, in video posted on social media Friday, denied allegations of sexual assault, while apologizing to his wife for unspecified “mistakes” in his past.

“They are absolutely false,” Swalwell said in the video. “They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have.”

Dabaie told CNN on Friday that his client “intends to continue his campaign,” while saying it’s “not clear” when he might return to the trail. Swalwell has said he intends to spend time with family and friends this weekend.

But Swalwell’s campaign suspended fundraising via the platform ActBlue on Friday. A spokesperson for ActBlue confirmed that the campaign, not the website, had deactivated the page and directed questions to Swalwell’s campaign, which did not respond to a question about his fundraising.

Many prominent Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as well as California Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, called on Swalwell to drop out of the governor’s race on Friday.

On Saturday, the executive council of the powerful California Labor Federation said it had voted unanimously to withdraw its support for Swalwell. Lorena Gonzalez, head of the labor federation, said, “Ultimately, our duty is to serve California’s workers, not any politician.”

The leadership of SEIU California also voted to yank its support and urged Swalwell to “immediately” end his campaign. The union added, “Every person who stands up to power and speaks out about abuse is helping to create safer workplaces and a safer society for all.”

(Everyone is lying especially the women, but I’m glad they are doing to him what he did to Trump, since Swalwell is a real criminal)

The New Witch Hunt

BuzzFeed’s search for ‘secretly right-wing women’ shows how political paranoia has replaced curiosity with ideological surveillance.

TIM HARTNETT April 11, 2026,1/2

BuzzFeed’s search for ‘secretly right-wing women’ shows how political paranoia has replaced curiosity with ideological surveillance.

When witches go about seeking prey, rather than when torch-bearing peasants are after them, is it still a “witch hunt”?This is the latest paradox served up to us from a victim class ever on the prowl for fresh meat. If you feel the world has mangled your precious feelings, it’s time to even it up! Oppressors lurk among the righteous in pews. Ye shall know them by the decibel level of their Amen’s!

Like Bill O’Reilly, Huffpost is looking out for you. On April 6, 2026 they were on the lookout for those confounded crypto-conservatives. Lucky for us, Ajani Bazile of Buzzfeedwas on it with “People Are Sharing the Subtle Signs a Woman Is Secretly Right Wing, and They’re Painfully Specific.” Adrift in perpetual vagary, nothing smarts like specifics.

BuzzFeed decided there were too dang many UPOs (unidentified political objects) mingling unharmed among the comrades. So, “We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share subtle signs that a woman is right wing.”

Poor Felix Drerzhinsky and Lavrenti Beria never lived to see it. The Western proletariat is now on board. They’ve learned sneaky Cheka tricks to pry out or fabricate the concealed thoughts of their neighbors. Bazile’s next piece will doubtless inform us on how, after ginning up arbitrary conclusions about acquaintances, fans can proceed to use the dope doing them harm. When the people who swear by hating hate, hate people this much, they’ve out-treacherized Uncle Joe himself.

And now, without further ado, how the brain trust gets its woman:

“Women who are conservative tend to be cagey about answering how they voted, or say they are ‘not very political’ and feign being moderate.”

Reversing the Clinton gay policy, go ahead and ask, if they don’t tell, you know.

“If a woman doesn’t like the Barbie movie or Taylor Swift, ask why. Usually, that will give you your answer. It’s OK to have different tastes, but if the reason you don’t like them is specifically that they are overtly feminist or for women and girls, then we have a problem.”

If you’re not sure what that one means, look next on the list.

“Sometimes a sign is if she says she loves ‘masculine men.’”

Should they prefer a guy who is thinking of Jude Law when things are getting hot and heavy?

“One indicator is what’s on her dating profile.If she lists her religion but not political views, or makes an apathetic ‘not political’ nonsense claim, that’s usually a sign.”

In the sacred tradition of Felix, Lavrenti, and Joe, that old-time religion is the bud in need of a nipping.

‘A sign a woman is right-wing is when you joke about or even just mention some current internet claim about a falsity propounded by hardline far-righters, and she goes quiet or says, “I don’t want to talk about that now.” Evading a potentially unpleasant conversation to keep fake social propriety is a society-supported female role, and she might not want to shift the current balance to defend far-right opinions and escalate.

How big a dose of BuzzFeed is necessary to wonder what their users could mean by “falsity”?It is not uncommon to avoid contradicting a left-wankers conviction even when it is debunked by sources like the New York Timesor the Los Angeles Times. What’s to be gained? BuzzFeeders grip canards with the rage of Elmer Fudd throttling Daffy Duck. Can you only trust the ladies who dive in tooth and claw, because … dodging barroom brawls out of decorum is anti-feminist?

“An indicator is if they have strong feelings of support for Johnny Depp during and after the Amber Heard trial.”

Another possibility is that they actually followed the trial and the facts presented … like the jury did awarding Depp $15 million.

“Women who put ‘moderate’ on their dating profiles are a red flag. I think anyone who labels themselves moderate in these times is doing that because they’re aware of how being a conservative can be perceived these days.”

Now you know, the ones listing their politics as “bloodthirsty” are safe and reliable.

“One clue is if she says she’s independent and won’t tell you who she voted for.”

If politics is a deal breaker, why not just find your dream girl at the next riot?

And finally, “You can tell a woman is far-right by the way she treats staff. In retail stores and restaurants, women like that just have an air of superiority, like the staff is less than human, only made for serving them.”

That’s interesting, so all those people on YouTube videos plundering retail and wreaking havoc in eateries are Republican? You coulda’ fooled me — and the lore of restaurant employees of Washington, DC. They nearly all say Republicans tip better than Democrats.

Jerks, of course, are not uncommon in any species of politician. But the mere idea of doing all this sniffing and rooting out “suspect” people in a person’s orbit reveals what’s important. This kind of totalitarian behaviorist is the first to demand a manager if the smile wasn’t right or their server was in the weeds.

There’s a lot of silly stuff out there in the cyber-verse. It might come from Alex Jones, Jeff Rense, Joy Reid, or Amanda Marcotte. HuffPost has placed itself firmly in the same wacko-sphere occupied by Infowarsand Salon with crank bait like this. It’s one of those accidental classics of hand tipping. The holders think it’s a winner without a clue how lame it really is.

Details and takeaways on Vance-led negotiations in Islamabad

U.S. negotiators expected the talks with Iran yesterday to be a brief table-setting meeting to tee up future talks. Instead, it turned into continuous negotiations over 21 hours, according to a source familiar with the talks.

Vance went into these negotiations recognizing that the U.S. and Iran have interacted little over the last 50 years — a dynamic that could foster mistrust and misperceptions, a U.S. official familiar with the talks told NBC News. One of his primary goals was to reach mutual understanding of respective objectives and negotiating space.

This official characterized the talks as tough but said thatby the end there was a friendly and productive exchange of proposals.

It was clear to Vance and the U.S. delegation, the official added, ==that Iranians did not understand the core U.S. objective•=: that any deal be anchored by an agreement that Iran never obtain a nuclear weapon.

Throughout the talks,Vance attempted to correct this misunderstandingand left Islamabad after delivering a best and final offer to Iran that he believed should be fair and acceptable to all parties.

Vance, the official added,also used the talks to probe the counterparties’ own assessment of their positionand came away with the conclusion that they had misperceived their negotiating strength —that the Iranians believe they have leverage that the U.S. believes they lack.

This is why, the official said,Vance left Islamabad after delivering the final offer.TheIranians need to recognize that the realities on the grounddo not reflect the assumptions they held when they arrived at the negotiations before they will be ready to entertain a serious offer, this person added.

Vance has said that a deal remains on the table and that it’s up to Iran to accept.

Meanwhile, the official said the national security team in consultation with Trump has devised a plan to break the Iranians’ closure on the Straits of Hormuz. They also aim to counter the notion that the straits can deflect from the core U.S. issue, which is the Iranian nuclear program.

According to the official, Vance is pragmatic, but not naive. He was hopeful of making a deal, but over the 21 hours of negotiation,Vance also probed Iran’s vulnerabilities, and now Trump will test them. It’s on Iran, the official said, to recognize the reality of the U.S. position.

The U.S. and Iran did not reach agreement on the following points:

For Iran to end all uranium enrichment

To dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran

To retrieve highly enriched uranium from Iran

To accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies

For Iran to end funding for its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis

For Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage

The President very much wants this conflict to be over and behind him, but he’s demonstrated a willingness to restart it if necessary, according to a source close to the White House.

The source said their expectations on tomorrow’s negotiations leading to a permanent deal are low.

“I think it’s obvious that the President wants peace and wants out of this conflict, and so maybe he’s given JD some latitude here," the source said.

Vance understands he is there as the President’s deputy,and the idea that he will bring his own agenda is over-spun, according to the source, who added that Vance is a utility player.

“His inclusion shows our seriousness," the source said. "It’s elevated, if our second most powerful official is there. Jared and Witkoff are powerful people, but they’re not constitutional officers elected by the nation. I think it shows how importantly we’re taking these talks.”

When asked if there are any concerns about Vance’s lack of experience in this kind of arena, the source said:"experience in foreign policy is certainly not indicative of either success or smart ideas.”

“I don’t know if a lifetime of attending Council on Foreign Relations luncheons suggests someone’s ability to do a good job," the source said.

The Strait of Hormuz 'will not be opened,' says Iranian lawmaker

Freddie Clayton

Iranian officials have reacted to the failed U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan with confidence that Iran has the upper hand in the conflict and will continue to restrict passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

In the 40 days of war, the U.S. has "learned that the victorious side is determined by the will of nations and superiority on the battlefield, not by rhetoric on social media," said Ali Nikzad, deputy speaker of Iran's parliament, according to the semiofficial ISNA news agency.

"In the coming days, they will also learn that diplomacy is an arena of respect, interaction and acceptance of realities, not dictating wishes,” he said.

An Iranian lawmaker who was part of the negotiating team in Pakistan, Mahmoud Nabavian, said leaders around the world should know that "the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened."

"The world will experience a new form of management in the Strait of Hormuz," he said.

(Sorry arrogant dudes, it won’t happen. They really don’t understand Trump!)

Ghalibaf mocks US ‘blockade,’ warns of higher gas prices(no one cares at this point idiot)

Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and chief negotiatorhas mocked the US plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, warning Americans they may soon long for today’s fuel prices.

“Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called ‘blockade’, soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas,” Ghalibaf wrote on X. (No one cares now idiot)

He accompanied the message with a mathematical note — (ΔO_BSOH>0 ⇒ f(f(O))>f(O)) — suggesting compounding effects from oil market disruptions tied to the geopolitical situation.

The comment appears to reference the expected ripple effects on energy markets if tensions around the Strait of Hormuz intensify.

ANALYSIS

Why the world failed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz

Bozorgmehr Sharafedin

Apr 9, 2026, 20:28 GMT+1

In 2019, while working on the energy desk at Reuters,I began reporting on a question that has shadowed global oil markets for decades: what would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were closed?

For me,the question was not abstract. I came froma country where, for more than half a century, leaders had repeatedly threatened to weaponize the Strait. As an energy correspondent, I wanted to understand whether the region had built credible alternatives, or the world was still exposed to a risk it preferred to ignore.

Routing oil supplies away from the Strait of Hormuz has been a recurring topicin the Middle East, especially since the “tanker wars” of the 1980s.Regional governments had long been reviewing and funding contingency plans to deal with a possible closure of the Straitand to reroute their oil and petroleum exports.

Yet most of these plans never moved beyond paper, even after cabinet approvals. Those that did remained underfunded, and the volumes they could carry were a drop in the bucket compared to the total flow through the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysts I spoke to at the time believed such plans were not economically feasiblein the absence of a real disruption. Thereality was that regional countries were reluctant to commit billions of dollarsto precautionary infrastructure that might never be needed.

Andeven if disruption did occur, many of them believed it would be short-lived — that the United States would intervene militarily and reopen the waterway quickly. (So the U.S. was always going to be their savior even though our country doesn’t use it.)

The alternative routes

As a result,projects remained limited in scope. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline carried oil to the Red Sea, but its capacity increases remained modest relative to the scale of Hormuz. The UAE’s Fujairah terminal bypassed the Strait, but remained geographically too close to be fully secure.

Other routes were even more constrained. The Iraq–Turkey pipeline faced political disputes between Baghdad and the Kurdish region over oil rights and territory.The Iraqi Pipeline through Saudi Arabia (IPSA), built by Saddam Hussein in 1989 to bypass Hormuz, has been largely inactive since 1990. Plans for a pipeline to Jordan’s Aqaba port depended on fragile Iraqi-Jordanian relations.

Deep-seated rivalriesacross the region prevented the implementation of most cross-border projects. The alternative plans were small, and governments were so reluctant to share information that I abandoned the article.

Two winners

Only two countries took the threat seriously.

China diversified its energy sources over the past decade and worked to reduce its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz.

The second was Iran, which built the Goreh–Jask pipeline to bypass the strait altogether, and also invested heavily in its ability to affect alternative routes.

Tehran repeatedly reminded regional countries that these alternative routes were vulnerable. The 2019 attacks on oil tankers near Fujairah, the 2019 drone strike on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, and the 2023 attacks by the Houthis on shipping lanes in the Red Sea were direct challenges to efforts to secure alternative export routes.

The US-Israeli war against Iran in March was a sobering reminder to the global economy that the world had long neglected one of its most critical chokepoints.

Iran managed to wipe out trillions of dollarsfrom global markets by closing the Strait and added inflationary pressure to economies already under strain.

Theprice of securing the Strait was now much higherthan the price of alternative projects would have been if they had been taken seriously.

Alternative routes were a partial answerat that time,but now they are no answer at all. During the US-Iran war, the region began to realize that a lasting solution lies not in infrastructure, but in a new regional security framework that limits the weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump Considering Resuming Limited Strikes on Iran – WSJ

President Donald Trump is considering resuming limited military strikes on Iran following the collapse of US-Iran talks, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing officials and people familiar with the deliberations.

According to the report,the option under discussion would involve targeted strikes rather than a broader military campaign, aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran.

The deliberations come after marathon negotiations between Washington and Tehran ended without a deal, despite raising hopes that the talks could produce a framework to de-escalate the war.

The report said the White House is weighing military steps alongside other pressure measures,including a planned US naval blockade targeting maritime traffic linked to Iranian ports.

Cut off The Money – U.S Military Will Start Enforcing Embargo of Product No One is Supposed to be Buying

April 12, 2026 | Sundance |

The headline is the reality of the thing.

Oil and gas sales from Iran are under international sanction and not supposed to be taking place. However, oil and gas sales from Iran -violating the sanctions- have been taking place.

CENTCOM is announcing that the U.S. military will now ensure the oil and gas from Iran doesn’t move.

The U.S. will physically enforce the pre-existing global sanctions. A blockade begins tomorrow morning.

• TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President’s proclamation.

The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian portsand coastal areas,including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

Additional information will be provided to commercial mariners through a formal notice prior to the start of the blockade.

All mariners areadvised to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches. (SOURCE)

Oil and gas from Kuwait will be allowed transit and passage. Oil and gas from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar will also transit without issue.However, oil or gas from Iran will be blocked. China takes the biggest hit, again.

The target now is to cut off the Iranian money supply.

This blockade is happening against the little discussed backdrop of Dubai (UAE) targeting Iranian money changers.

DUBAI –The arrest of dozens of IRGC-linked money changers in the United Arab Emirates is one of the most serious blows yet to Tehran’s sanctions-evasion network, laying bare how heavily the Islamic Republic has depended on Dubai as an economic lifeline.

Sources familiar with the matter told Iran International thatUAE authorities detained dozens of money changers tied to financial entities linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, shut down associated companies and closed their offices.

The crackdownfollows days of mounting regional tensionsand comes after other measures targeting Iranian nationals,including visa revocations and tighter travel restrictions through Dubai.

For years,Dubai has served as Iran’s main offshore financial artery, where oil proceeds, petrochemical revenues and rial conversions were turned into dollars, dirhams and euros beyond the reach of the country’s battered domestic banking system.

“This is going to be a real problem for Tehran because Dubai was an economic lung for the Iranian regime,” Jason Brodsky of United Against Nuclear Iran told Iran International.

“That is economic pressure and diplomatic isolation in a way that theUAE is able to employ against the Iranian regime, and it will have a very considerable impact.”(more)

“We got just about every point we needed except for the fact that they refuse to give up their nuclear ambition,” Trump told Fox Business.

He reiterated that Iran would not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

“They want to have nuclear weapons. They’re not going to have nuclear weapons,” he said.

Trump also expressed confidence that Tehran would ultimately concede. “I predict they come back and give us everything we want,” he said, adding, “I don’t want 95 percent. I told them. I want everything.”

A truce for the world, a reckoning for Iran’s economy

The ceasefire in the US-Israeli war on Iran eased global oil markets and may finally reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But for Iran, the truce exposes an economic crisis the war had temporarily masked, with weaker fundamentals and fewer tools to respond.

The ceasefire announced on April 7 has offered temporary relief to the United States and, by extension, the global economy. Oil prices have since fallen below $100 per barrel, the Strait of Hormuz may finally reopen, and global stock markets have rallied, recovering part of the losses recorded over the previous 40 days.

The coming days may prove crucial for stabilizing seasonal supply chains, particularly for fertilizer inputs transiting the strait during the peak planting period in the Northern Hemisphere.

Inside Iran, however, the outlook is far more complex.

The war effectively froze Iran's economic crises, shuttered markets, and halted price discovery. A similar pattern followed the 12-day conflict earlier in the war, when markets closed temporarily before reopening to renewed upward pressure as underlying imbalances reasserted themselves. This time, the damage is far greater.

During US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s strategic infrastructure, attacks on Mahshahr and Asaluyehpetrochemical facilities hit sites Iranian officials say account for 85% of the country’s petrochemical export capacity.

The steel industry was also hit.

Since these sectors supply downstream industries from plastics to automotive manufacturing and construction, the full scale of disruption has yet to be assessed.

The Tehran Stock Exchange has been closed for more than 40 consecutive days.

The head of the Securities and Exchange Organization has indicated that war-damaged companies will return to trading at a later stage, meaning that even if the exchange reopens, a significant portion of major firms may remain inactive.

Reopening without viable export-oriented companies could trigger heavy selling pressure in a market where banks and automakers are already loss-making and reliant on state support.

Inflation remains the most pressing crisis. Before the US-Israeli airstrikes, annual inflation had surpassed 70 percent — the highest since World War II. Food inflation reached triple digits, with bread and grains rising by 140 percent and cooking oil by more than 200 percent.

The war temporarily suppressed these pressures: demand fell amid unemployment, banking disruptions reduced the velocity of money, and property and automobile transactions slowed sharply.

With the Pakistani-brokered ceasefire, that suppressed demand is likely to return.

The fiscal picture offers no relief.

The approved budget included a 65-percent rise in taxes, but roughly 60 percent of working-age individuals are currently unemployed.

In effect, the government is attempting to tax its way out of a fiscal crisis in an economy where the majority of working-age adults have no income to tax. Post-war military expenditures and reconstruction obligations have increased sharply, with no significant new revenue streams available.

Compounding this is the disruption of Iran's primary financial channel through Dubai, which for years served as a central hub for trade and currency transactions worth $16 billion to $28 billion annually.

Following recent attacks on Dubai, Emirati authorities reportedly detained dozens of currency dealers linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and shut down associated front companies.

Alternative channels in Herat and Erbil remain active but lack Dubai's scale. When suppressed demand for foreign currency returns, it will hit a narrower, less efficient set of channels, amplifying exchange rate volatility.

The ceasefire offered the world a reprieve. For Iran, it removed the only thing suppressing a crisis that had been building for months. When markets reopen, they will price in not only pre-war imbalances but the destruction of the export capacity that once generated foreign currency.

The rial will face a market that has every reason to reprice it sharply downward, and a state with fewer tools than ever to intervene.Iran's economy has not returned to its pre-war condition. It has moved past it.

Yet the ceasefire itself is fragile, reportedly violated several times within its first 48 hours.Even in the best-case diplomatic scenario, the technology and capital required for reconstruction will not materialize within weeks, and as long as the risk of renewed conflict remains,investors are unlikely to commit long-term capital.

What comes next at the negotiating table will shape whether any of it matters.

Victor Davis Hanson and host Jack Fowler discuss why several NATO allies—especially France—restricted the United States from using bases and airspace during operations aimed at Iran, arguing Europe benefits from U.S. security while pursuing divergent domestic and foreign-policy agendas.
