Maybe that’s why Trump is demanding unconditional surrender β€” because he thinks it’s easier to demand everything rather than state his war aims in a coherent manner.

Sleeper cells ACTIVATED: Iran-involved
Sleeper cells ACTIVATED: Iran-involved YouTube video by The National Desk

Iran may be trying to activate sleeper cells outside the country. ABC reported Monday that the U.S. just intercepted an encrypted message believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as an 'operational trigger' for sleeper assets.

"Mr. Trump has laid out maximalist goals like insisting that Iran name a leader who will submit to him, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have described narrower and more tactical objectives that could provide an off-ramp in the near term."

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.

Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.

This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...

Neocons Got What They Want in Iran. They Still Want More. The Iran war has not exactly been a roaring success. But its backers are eager for more regime change. Just look at Lindsey Graham.

This is U.S. foreign policy now: maximal devastation and chaos, minimal planning and goals, and a dose of haberdashery. We’re just leapfrogging from slogan to slogan, from war to war. Graham will be there, every time, to cheer it on. trib.al/VTC3y9B
