Iran demanded Lebanon first. Lebanon just got a ceasefire. That removes the excuse — not the deadlock. The next 96 hours may matter more than the last six weeks. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Everyone is watching the ceasefire. Almost nobody is watching what Iran is doing during it. Satellite images show missile bases being restored — not destroyed. This changes the entire negotiation dynamic. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Everyone’s watching the Strait of Hormuz. That’s not where this gets decided. There’s a quieter move happening — and it’s coming out of Moscow. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

The talks in Islamabad failed. Within hours, the US announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This isn’t a negotiation anymore. It’s pressure. And it may not stay limited for long. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

A $400 drone can destroy a $10 million system. That’s not a statistic. That’s a shift in how wars are fought. From Ukraine to Iran and Israel — militaries are relearning everything. substack.com/@mohitnews76...

The US fought the war. Iran survived it. China shaped the outcome. That’s the part most coverage is missing. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Power Plant Day” isn’t just a threat. It’s a test of what modern war is willing to justify — and what 90 million people will have to live through. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

The U.S. and Iran are at war. Their only communication channel runs through… Pakistan. Not Geneva. Not Doha. That detail changes how you read everything happening right now. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

A U.S. rescue mission deep inside Iran just succeeded. But look closer — the same operation exposes something bigger about this war. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

A US general fired in the middle of a war. Iran hitting water infrastructure. And Washington still speaking in “weeks” while Tehran talks in “months.” Something doesn’t add up. I broke down what actually happened in the last 24 hours — and what it means next: open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Except — it's open for Russia. Putin's aide confirmed it Thursday. No conditions. No fees. Just passage. While the rest of the world pays $2M per tanker.

Everyone’s asking how this war ends. The better question is: what if Iran is already getting what it wants? This isn’t chaos. It’s strategy. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Trump said last night: "Core strategic objectives are nearing completion." Then said: "We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks." Nearing completion. Extremely hard. Same speech. Same man.

Trump called NATO a "paper tiger" today. To The Telegraph. On the record. "I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger — and Putin knows that too." Putin. He brought up Putin.

Iran just hit an oil tanker off Qatar's coast. Qatar is home to Al Udeid Air Base — the largest US military base in the Middle East. 10,000 American troops. Right there. This wasn't random

Something changed in the language this week. The US isn’t just fighting a war — it’s telling allies to handle it themselves. That has consequences far beyond Iran. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Israel executed one person in its history. This week, it voted to make executions easier — but not equally. The details matter more than the headlines. #Israel #Palestine #WestBank #Geopolitics open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

February 27 — Oman's FM gave a thumbs up in Geneva. Iran had agreed — no nuclear stockpile. Ever. "Peace is within reach," he said. February 28 — bombs fell on Tehran. The same negotiator who brokered the deal watched it burn overnight.

Idaho marched yesterday. So did Rome. Amsterdam. Toronto. This stopped being an American story very quickly. What it means for the next 8 days 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Iran has a new Supreme Leader. Nobody has seen him. Not once. Not on video. Not in person. Every statement — read by a news anchor. Every photo — unverified. The CIA is trying to figure out if they're even recent.

A quiet meeting in France just exposed how divided the West really is over this war. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

US sent Iran a 15-point plan. Iran sent back 5 conditions. Just to sit down. US wants: nuclear disarmament, Hormuz open, proxies disbanded. Iran wants: full war reparations, US out of Gulf, Hormuz sovereignty. Forever. These aren't negotiations. These are two different endings to the same war.

Trump paused strikes — "because Iran requested it." Iran said — we requested nothing. April 6 is the new deadline. Strikes are still happening. A pause. That isn't a pause. Extended by a request. That wasn't made.

Trump sent Iran a 15-point peace plan. Iran called it "maximalist and unreasonable." Then Leavitt stepped to the podium: "Trump will ensure they are hit harder than ever before." A peace plan. With a threat attached.

Nobody is talking about this. 30% of the world's fertilizer ships through Hormuz. It's been closed for 27 days. Planting season starts now. You can skip oil for a week. You cannot skip fertilizer season.

59% of Americans say this war has gone too far. Only 13% want more. Trump's own voters — divided. The Senate still voted to keep going. 47 to 53.

France wasn't informed about this war. But it still sent its most powerful warship. The Charles de Gaulle. Nuclear-powered. Aircraft carrier. Now sailing toward the Mediterranean.

France's Army Chief said it out loud. At a public defense forum. In Paris. "We were surprised by an American ally — who doesn't even bother to inform us when it decides to launch military operations."

The Iran war is getting more complicated — ceasefire talks, troop buildup, and no clear direction. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

The US sent Iran a 15-point ceasefire plan. Through Pakistan. The same day — 5,000 Marines started moving toward the Gulf. A peace offer. Delivered with paratroopers behind it.

Trump said — "Iran wants to make a deal." The US sent a 15-point ceasefire plan to Tehran. Iran's military responded on live television. "Don't call your failure an agreement."

The US Constitution says — Congress must authorize a war. Trump started this war without asking Congress. Senate just voted — 47 to 53. War continues. No authorization needed. This is the 8th time Congress has tried to stop it. 8th time they failed.

Saudi Arabia publicly called for peace. Privately — MBS made multiple phone calls to Trump. One message: attack Iran. Washington Post confirmed it. Four sources. On record.

Trump said a deal with Iran is close. Then he turned to his Defense Secretary — live, in the Oval Office: "Pete didn't want it to be settled." Hegseth was standing right next to him.

Iran just sent a message to Washington. Not through a press conference. Through back channels. "We will not talk to Witkoff. We will not talk to Kushner." They want JD Vance. Only Vance.

Trump started a war. Now he's saying Pete Hegseth started it. His exact words — publicly, with Hegseth sitting right next to him: "Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, let's do it."

Trump announced a 5-day peace pause. The same day — 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne got deployment orders. Target: Middle East. Possible mission: Seize Kharg Island. 90% of Iran's oil exports pass through there.

Pakistan offered to host US-Iran talks. Israel has no diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Neither side has officially said yes. But an Israeli official already confirmed it's being planned.

The Iran war isn’t just about strikes. It’s about markets, mines, and backchannel diplomacy. #IranWar #Geopolitics #OilMarkets #MiddleEast substack.com/@mohitnews76...

Trump sent Witkoff and Kushner to talk to Iran. Iran said — no talks happened. Now JD Vance may fly to Islamabad. This week.

The man publicly calling Trump a liar. Is the same man the White House quietly wants as Iran's next leader. His name: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Iran's Parliament Speaker.

A war started in the Middle East. Sri Lanka just cancelled Wednesdays. Not a joke. Every Wednesday is now a public holiday — indefinitely. To save fuel.

China just sent its top diplomat across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia. UAE. Bahrain. Kuwait. Egypt. Airspace was closed — he drove part of the way. China's message: "The one who tied the bell must untie it."

The US and Iran aren't talking directly. Pakistan wants to host the meeting. JD Vance may fly to Islamabad. This week.

The US and Iran aren't talking directly. Pakistan wants to host the meeting. JD Vance may fly to Islamabad. This week.

Iran placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Not rumors. U.S. intelligence confirmed it. At least a dozen. Underwater. Silent. 20% of the world's oil passes through there.

Trump said — "Very good and productive conversations with Iran." Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf posted on X — "No negotiations have been held with the US." One war. Two completely different realities. Same day. Same hour.

Trump gave a 48-hour ultimatum… then delayed it by 5 days. What changed? 👇 #Iran #IranWar #Trump #Hormuz #Geopolitics substack.com/@mohitnews76...

Saturday: Trump threatened to "obliterate" Iranian power plants in 48 hours. Monday — before the deadline: "I have instructed the Department of War to postpone all strikes for 5 days."
