My preliminary analysis based on the events of the last 48 hours are that despite the US strikes, muted Iranian response, and dubious announcement of a ceasefire— the fundamental strategic situation between Israel, Iran, and the US has not changed.

Israel continues to seek regime change. Iran's nuclear program has apparently not been destroyed. And there is little hope that the United States can resume diplomacy with Iran.

Iran's retaliation and their apparent decision not to withdraw from the NPT or close the Strait of Hormuz is de-escalatory. Trump has clearly preferred a diplomatic resolution throughout the 60-day timetable and the "12-day war."

Israel cannot survive a sustained conflict of this nature with Iran. Which means they will have to escalate their tactics or sue for a temporary ceasefire.

Earlier today, the Washington Post reported that IRGC commanders received a 12-hour ultimatum from Mossad to oppose to Iranian regime or have their families killed. Israel is carrying out the most intense strikes since the war started as we speak, including assassinations.

Is this one last blow before a short reprieve? Or a last-minute sucker punch to provoke Iran into reneging on the ceasefire, assuming there was such an agreement.

Israel's attack on Iran galvanized the public against the West and rallied them to the regime. Are the IRGC assassinations and ceasefire a gambit to leave room for an "organic uprising" to breathe?

There are still conflicting reports on the ceasefire. And why would Iran trust the US and Israel after they broke similar agreements with Hamas and Hezbollah and after the surprise attacks by Israel and the US? The fog of war remains...

Much to consider, but the fact remains that the forces that drove these hostilities remain unchanged, and have probably intensified.

Ringy Dingy

Two of the largest private surveillance networks in America just teamed up. Amazon's Ring and Flock Safety have officially partnered. Here's what that means:

  • The AI powered cameras that track your car on the street can now ask your neighbor's Ring doorbell for video of you
  • They're connecting the street to your front door, creating one massive searchable surveillance network for the police

This isn't theory. 404 Media has already reported that ICE and the Secret Service have access to the Flock Network.

Perspective

🚷 🇺🇸 Trump has deported 540,000 people, fewer than in either of Biden's last 2 years. But Biden deportations focused on the border, now mainly shut. Trump has targeted those in the country and has removed 230,000 of them, more than Biden in 4 years.

Homeland security officials have claimed that more than 2.5 million people have since left the country because of the administration’s crackdown. Immigration experts and demographers have disputed that figure.

A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office says that while the undocumented population decreased by about 360,000 people last year, the overall foreign-born population increased by about 400,000 in 2025. A different study estimated a decrease of between 10,000 and 295,000 in the total foreign-born population in 2025.

Arrests at jails and prisons went up over the past year, but the increase was far exceeded by the growth in what ICE calls “at-large” arrests, the apprehensions of immigrants on the streets, in ...

War In Farms

Technocrats War on Farms is Winning: Farmers scale back Acres in 2026

Top Georgia grower Alex Harrell—just slashed 3,000 acres, cutting his operation in HALF for 2026: “We’re literally PAYING to farm—not getting paid.”

Fertilizer/chemicals still sky-high, commodity prices in the tank == irrigated land already left unplanted in 2025, & MUCH more bare ground coming.

Generational farmers quitting, bankruptcies surging, cropland going idle. This is an engineered consolidation of the food supply: fewer independent growers = more control over your food.


"When fertilizer, chemical, and machinery costs go up 300% over a short span of time, everything is upside down, especially when commodities go in the tank."

Guys are quitting and walking away, and that eventually leads to land that doesn’t get picked up … Cropland with no crop."

Support local growers...

ICE ATTACK

👮‍♂️ 🇺🇸 Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob

What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining.

Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded.

Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant.

“My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.”
