For too long I enjoyed the free access to your coverage -- especially the inside coverage of Iran. Whether the Iranians to whom you provide access are truthful and accurate in their descriptions; or are honestly mistaken about government organization and decisions that are not open to the public; or might possibly be deliberately deceiving us -- you are doing the commendable public service of balancing the picture provided by even the most independent main stream media sources. And to an ever increasing extent the descriptions provided by Professor Hassan Ahmadian and the gentleman who was on live this morning whose name I cannot accurately recall provide a more consistent explanation of the relative strengths of the United States, Israel, and Iran than the descriptions that appear in the main stream media.

Good for Zambia. Much of the world will disconnect from the Epstein class to restructure supply chain dislocations learned during Covid.
So Bessant is asking China for help in attempting to control the Hormuz Strait... And I thought Trump was the only one who was that delusional.
Thank you for your detailed coverage. Is there any good news?
