"In a segment of his show released Tuesday, Carlson bombarded Cruz with questions related to his support for regime change in Iran as the U.S. supports Israel's war on Iran. And Carlson was effective — despite being motivated by right-wing isolationist ideas rather than progressive anti-war sentiment."

The Iranian Expedition
It appears Trump decided to bend the knee to Clown World in the end. Every empire seems to end this way, with imperial overstretch.

Why Every U.S. President Protects the Iranian Regime. Even When They Pretend Not To.
For over 45 years, the U.S. has maintained a bizarre relationship with Iran. Publicly they threaten it. Privately they protect it. From Reagan to Obama to Biden, even Trump to a degree, the pattern is the same: keep the regime alive but manageable. Why?
1.Iran is the perfect controlled villain.
The regime gives the Pentagon a reason to keep forces in the region. It keeps Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other allies dependent on U.S. military protection. No Iran means no justification for dozens of overseas bases, missile deals, and emergency deployments. Iran is too useful alive.
2.They keep the region divided.
Iran sustains the Sunni-Shia divide. That fracture prevents any unified Islamic front from forming. A reconciled Middle East would be harder to manipulate. Division means control. The U.S. would rather have Iran and Saudi Arabia at each other’s throats than cooperating.
3.Chaos means energy leverage.
A semi-hostile Iran lets the U.S. pressure oil markets, threaten the Strait of Hormuz, and play global energy broker. Too much peace and independence in the region would mean less U.S. influence over global energy flows.
4.The nuclear deal was a leash, not a solution.
Obama’s JCPOA deal didn’t stop Iran’s nukes. It formalized the status quo: let Iran enrich slowly, keep Gulf states scared, and build a trapdoor. Sanctions off today, back on tomorrow. It was designed to manage the regime, not end it. And yes, pallets of cash were flown in. That was hush money, not diplomacy.
5.Reagan, Bush, Clinton all played along.
Reagan secretly armed Iran in the 80s (Iran-Contra). Bush Sr. and Jr. ignored Iran while fighting Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinton tried empowering “moderates.” Classic CIA soft power. None of them pushed for regime collapse. They wanted containment, not freedom for the Iranian people.
6.There’s more under the surface.
Iran is likely plugged into blackmail pipelines, proxy control, and off-books intelligence work. They’ve held American hostages. They’ve helped fight Sunni extremists when asked. There are channels between U.S. agencies and Iranian power brokers that don’t show up in press briefings. It’s not war. It’s managed theater.
7.The real reason: a free Iran breaks the game.
A post-Islamic Iran would destabilize the entire U.S. strategy. The youth are pro-Western. The culture is ready to modernize. If the regime fell, it would ripple across the Middle East and dismantle the controlled conflict model that U.S. foreign policy depends on.
That’s why the regime kept surviving. Let’s hope Israel continues to ignore DC and finishes the Islamic regime oppressing Iranians and terrorizing the world once and for all.

🇮🇷 - Fordow Nuclear Facility is not only built 90m deep, but its main centrifuge halls are placed exactly under mountain ridges, adding additional several hundred meters.
It has at least 5 known entrances, two underground storages, and a vent that makes contact with the surface, making it the facility's weak point. It has a huge hall the purpose of which remains unknown, however it's also built directly under a ridgeline. A hardened structure likely serving as HVAC storage is located above ground.
Rerum Novarum have mapped out the underground Fordow Facility.
Note, the drawing is approximate.

All centrifuges were removed a day before the attack and transported to an unknown location!
It’s likely that no significant damage occurred, only minor damage to the entrances. That’s it! A show bombing that achieved nothing. Iran’s uranium enrichment program will continue, stronger than ever, and now at hidden locations.

A Moment in History
Founded in the 14th century, this monastery has witnessed pivotal historical events in Russia.
In 1378, the Church of Mary of Egypt stood on this site at Kuchkovo Pole, built by Prince Vladimir the Brave for his mother, Maria. Under Tsars Mikhail and Feodor Romanov, monastic cells and the abbot’s residence were constructed. In 1679, a new cathedral honoring the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was built, which survives to this day.
After the 1917 Revolution, Sreten Monastery became a major center of Orthodoxy in Moscow. In 1925, after five-and-a-half centuries of history, the monastery was dissolved. Most of its buildings were destroyed. The Vladimir Cathedral was converted into an NKVD (Soviet secret police) officers’ dormitory: the church was split into multiple floors, and stoves were installed. In the 1950s, a school building was erected on the monastery grounds.
The monastery reopened in 1995. It now houses Russia’s largest Orthodox publishing house, a renowned male choir, and a seminary.

The Sanctuary of Las Lajas is located within the canyon of the Guáitara River, in Ipiale, Colombia.
Its neo-gothic architectural style and the bridge, connecting it with the opposite side of the canyon, make of it an extremely picturesque site
Las Lajas Sanctuary is an architectural marvel, not only because of its beautiful Gothic Revivalist style, but because of the fact that it was built in a precarious gorge…and on the side of a mountain… over 100 years ago. Such a feat would be difficult to accomplish now, let alone a century ago.
