CAIRO (AP) — As the Middle East broadly welcomes a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Iran finds itself at one of its weakest moments since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Tehran has operated its self-described “Axis of Resistance” over several decades, supporting militant groups and nations allied with it against Israel and the United States. But as Israel bombed the Gaza Strip, it also turned its crosshairs toward top leaders abroad in militant groups like Hamas, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and even the top echelon within Iran’s military and nuclear program — killing many and disrupting their ability to fight back.
As President Donald Trump prepares for a Middle East trip that likely will see him praised by Israel and Arab nations, Iran won’t be at the table as it still struggles to recover from June’s 12-day war.
How Tehran’s theocracy responds in the weeks and months ahead, whether that means lashing out or trying to rebuild its hobbled economy at home, will be crucial.
“Undoubtedly this is a not a proud moment for Iran,” said Ali Vaez, the Iran project director at the International Crisis Group. “Its alliance system in the region is in ruins but it doesn’t mean that the ‘Axis of Resistance’ is no more.”

meanwhile, behind the curtain of all this happy happy propaganda,
Iran is resupplying its missiles and rockets and nuclear bomb building equipment while also smuggling a lot of weaponry and ammunition and attack drones into Israel from across the Jordan River (which in actuality is not a big river like say the Mississippi, the Jordan is very easy to ford...)
It will be interesting to see if the HamAss critters actually go along with The Plan.
Seems to me that Trump and Bibi cleaned up Obama’s Iran mess.
“Trump and Bibi cleaned up Obama’s Iran mess.”
That may be.
Historically Persia has been a pain in the
ass of the world.
Obliterate it and reduce it to what it was;
Tribes fighting over pastures for sheep.
Any one know how much Trump and the U.S. Treasury had to pay to create this consensus?
I saw one report earlier today that with Israel respecting the cease fire, Hamas was coming out of hiding, settling scores and exerting control over the returning Palestine refugees. It was unclear what the Israeli response would be.
“Historically Persia has been a pain in the
ass of the world.”
at one point [well prior to Mohammed], Persia was the scientific center of civilization, with advanced mathematics, advanced metallurgy, advanced astronomy, and much more ... all while Europe was burning witches and scratching out patches of barley ...
Much different days than long ago...

Yes, Cyrus the Great of Persia did allow the rebuilding of Jerusalem, including the Temple, after conquering Babylon. He issued a decree permitting the Jewish exiles to return to Judah and provided financial and material support for the effort, which is recorded in both the Bible and supported by historical evidence like the Cyrus Cylinder.
That’s typical, the Associated Press refers to terrorist cells as “militant groups.”
Alternative information sources can’t wipe out the old “Legacy Media” outlets fast enough.
They are all a scourge on civilization.
Yeah, the Associated Press is well known for pro-West, pro-America, pro-Israel propaganda.
My eyes cannot roll further out of my head.
As for BBC, AP, washPost, etcetera—It would be a lot better and more honest if “the Jews” (ha ha) really did “control” the press
Even better: shit these commie/ nazi media down — they’ve been spewing the same bigoted, anti- American crap for years — enough already! Let’s open things up to a more competitive mass media that might — through natural market forces— restore some honest journalism
