I didnt watch this video yet but have a question. Is there any chance that gaza will be included IF a ceasefire between iran and the US is made ?

Not directly, but it's a damn fine idea. It could happen.

Thank you so much for this interview, with Hassan Ahmadian, and thank you, more broadly, for ALL of your work. You're genuinely indispensable.

All of these DropSite reports stand in stark contrast to both Trump's and the western media lies, obfuscation, posturing and general BS. Intelligent clarity so refreshing.

Let’s be blunt: the narrative that this was going to be a quick, decisive “regime change” operation wasn’t just wrong—it was propaganda. As Jeremy Scahill’s interview with Hassan Ahmadian makes clear, the U.S. and Israel threw everything at Iran—assassinations, massive airstrikes, constant claims of “degraded capabilities”—and still failed to achieve their core objectives.

That’s not a gray area. That’s a strategic loss.

And yet the same playbook continues: talk about diplomacy while bombing, negotiate while escalating, then act surprised when there’s zero trust on the other side. After tearing up the 2015 nuclear deal, especially under Donald Trump, why would anyone in Tehran believe a new agreement would hold? There’s no mystery here—credibility was burned, and it hasn’t been rebuilt.

Calling this moment a “crossroads” softens what’s actually happening. This isn’t a choice between diplomacy and escalation—it’s a pattern of escalation dressed up as diplomacy. A loop where military action comes first and negotiations are treated as a tactical tool, not a real off-ramp.

If there’s any takeaway, it’s this: the assumption that superior force equals control has been exposed as flawed, and policymakers don’t seem willing to admit it. Until that changes, this isn’t heading toward resolution—it’s just setting up the next round.

Trump doesn’t negotiate. He makes demands. He has no concept of negotiation.

I believe that Iran lost momentum by agreeing to a ceasefire but I respect their decision. What is at stake here is global awareness that western hegemony is the root cause of political instability and economic pain to the majority of the world’s population. I believe ceasefire talks give each side the chance to demonstrate who deals with honor.

Speaking truth is chipping away at the wall of ignorance that has allowed our media and leaders to act without accountability.

This is truly a global issue.
