🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israel bent on dragging US into endless Iran war - Ghalibaf The US and its allies face a “dark age” unless the American administration abandons its ‘Israel First’ policy, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X. 💬 “Israelis are working overtime to drag the US into an endless war with Iran, a quagmire that no president, now or in the future, Republican or Democrat, could escape,” he noted. Benjamin Netanyahu, serving as caretaker PM after Israel’s elections, has been pushing hard for a new round of US-Israeli strikes to bring about regime change in Iran, reports the FT. Netanyahu calls Trump “every day to urge him to resume the war,” the publication cited an insider as saying, adding that there has been pushback to this both inside the administration and outside. 👉 Regional leaders are also reportedly urging the US president to “prioritize negotiations.” After meeting with Qatari PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, whose government is mediating an interim deal, Trump said there was “positive momentum” towards ending the conflict. He added that a resumption of strikes is “quite unlikely”, and declared the war on Iran “effectively over”. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

Meanwhile, cost-of-living protests have turned into violent riots in France, plunging the country into a political and economic meltdown.

🔥 Kiev residents block roads after 6 days without power Ukraine is facing the harshest winter of the conflict, with the situation on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. The economy has been critically weakened, and many power plants are virtually beyond repair, CNN reported. Despite the escalating crisis, Zelensky has yet to move toward a negotiated settlement, seemingly banking on last-minute intervention from its Western backers. However, as the national economy hits a point of no return, the window for a salvageable outcome is rapidly closing. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🔥 IRGC strikes radar and comms infrastructure on Oman's Didamar Island in Strait of Hormuz An IRGC official stated the destroyed systems were used to facilitate the passage of ships through the strait. Following the strike, no vessels were able to transit through the southern shipping route overnight. Footage from the scene clearly shows a large plume of smoke rising from the damaged radar site. Iran is actively dismantling the infrastructure that ships rely on to navigate the US-backed alternative corridor. By taking out the radar and comms on Didamar Island, Iran is blinding the southern route—proving that it controls the physical passage. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🔊 Hegseth was 'very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran' — Massie Republican Congressman Thomas Massie made it clear that the impeachment is not about Hegseth’s competence, but his criminality. 💬 "He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution." On February 28, 2026 — the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran — a missile struck a girls' primary school in Minab. According to Iranian authorities, 168 people were killed, the vast majority of them children. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🚨 GOP Rep. Massie introduces articles of impeachment against Hegseth Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has officially accused Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of "knowingly executing and implementing unlawful orders." 🔴 The articles state he has demonstrated he "will remain a threat to the constitution if allowed to remain in office." 🔴 Massie argues Hegseth acted in a manner "grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law." 💬 "Hegseth thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States." Hegseth turned the Pentagon into a loyalty test and purged the top brass. Now, a member of his own party is trying to purge him. The "total purge" has finally reached the Secretary's office. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🇮🇷 Iran is not going to hand over its uranium stockpile 🔊“There was no reason” for Iran to transfer its enriched uranium to another country as part of a deal with the United States, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said as quoted by Press TV. He further pointed out that Iran continues to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) whose inspectors recently visited the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The IAEA was not allowed to visit other Iranian nuclear facilities due to the lack of proper arrangements, not to mention the lack of justification for visiting the very sites the US was trying to destroy. Baghaei also chastised the US for changing its position on numerous occasions during negotiations with Iran. The Iranian side maintains that, in order to put an end to the current conflict in the Persian Gulf, the United States must fulfil seven conditions, including the cessation of hostilities on all fronts, the lifting of US blockade and anti-Iranian sanctions and the release of Iran’s frozen assets. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🇮🇷 Iran denies reports of Vance-Rezaei meeting, says no talks until US meets conditions Iran's policy and plans on negotiations remain unchanged until the US side takes practical action within the framework of the seven conditions set by Iran, an unnamed senior Iranian security official has told Tasnim News Agency. The denial follows earlier media reports that a meeting between US Vice President JD Vance and Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was being prepared in Doha. The seven conditions Iran has set for any negotiations include the lifting of the US naval blockade, the unfreezing of Iranian assets abroad, compensation for war damages, and an end to US threats and interference in Iran's internal affairs. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
